In ''Caves of Qud'', there are many quite valuable liquids which, for various reasons, the player may want to have more of but, due to the liquid’s rarity or its difficult of collection, is unable to obtain in the intended method. This page lists a few methods to duplicate preexisting drams of a desired liquid. | In ''Caves of Qud'', there are many quite valuable liquids which, for various reasons, the player may want to have more of but, due to the liquid’s rarity or its difficult of collection, is unable to obtain in the intended method.

# Pour a single dram of {{favilink|primordial soup}} on the ground, ''then'' pour the rest of it (498 more drams) on the same tile. Since adding to an existing puddle does not mix the poured liquid with salt, by the time it grows into a big pool it should have a low enough proportion of salt to be considered pure. If this didn't work, dump a {{favilink|desalination pellet}} into the pool (preferably while flying, otherwise try throwing it). | # Pour a single dram of {{favilink|primordial soup}} on the ground, ''then'' pour the rest of it (498 more drams) on the same tile.
