== Big Game Hunting (Salt Kraken) ==

Kill a {{Favilink|Salt kraken}}, drag its extremely valuable, extremely heavy corpse to a merchant, make bank.

=== You will need: ===

* A [[Salt kraken]]

* A {{Favilink|Salt kraken}}

* ~~One of many ways~~ to kill a [[Salt kraken]]

* A way to kill a {{Favilink|Salt kraken}}

* Lots of [[Water~~|Fresh water]]~~

* Lots of {{Favilink|Water}}

* Lots and lots of empty containers

* A [[:Category:Recoilers|Recoiler]] with its location set to a merchant hub. (Seriously. A Kraken corpse is worth 15,000 drams. [[Tam]] won't cut it.)

* A [[:Category:Recoilers|Recoiler]] with its location set to a merchant hub. (Seriously. A Kraken corpse is worth 15,000 drams. {{Favilink|Tam}} won't cut it.)

=== Steps: ===

# Wander through the [[Great Salt Desert]] until you come upon a [[Salt kraken]]. Do not be discouraged if it takes a bit, they are rather rare. Trust me, they are out there.

# Wander through the [[Great Salt Desert]] until you come upon a {{Favilink|Salt kraken}}. Do not be discouraged if it takes a bit, they are rather rare. Trust me, they are out there.

# Once you find the Salt ~~Kraken~~, you now must kill it. There are many, many ways to do this, but attacking at range, using companions, or other low-personal danger methods are preferable for obvious reasons.

# Once you find the {{Favilink|Salt kraken}}, you now must kill it. There are many, many ways to do this, but attacking at range, using companions, or other low-personal-danger methods are preferable for obvious reasons.

# When the [[Salt kraken]] dies, there is a 9/10 chance for it to leave a corpse. If, unluckily, it did not drop, you now must repeat steps 1 and 2. If it did, pick up the corpse and use your recoiler to teleport away.

# When the {{Favilink|Salt kraken}} dies, there is a 9/10 chance for it to leave a corpse. If, unluckily, it did not drop, you now must repeat steps 1 and 2. If it did, pick up the corpse and use your recoiler to teleport away.

# You should now appear in the merchant hub you chose. Pick the merchant you want to sell the [[Salt kraken corpse]] to. This should be a merchant with lots and lots of high-value goods.

# Drop the [[Salt kraken corpse]], move one tile towards your merchant of choice, then, using your interact nearby keybinding (ctrl + direction by default), pick up the [[Salt kraken corpse]] from the adjacent tile. Repeat this step until you are close enough to sell it to your merchant of choice.

# Sell the [[Salt kraken corpse]] in return for what will likely be the merchant's entire inventory.

=== Notes: ===

Killing a {{Favilink|Salt kraken}} is far easier than killing a dromad-aligned {{Favilink|Great saltback}}, the other creature with an extremely high-value corpse, but, because multiple {{Favilink|Great saltback|plural}} appear in a caravan, [[Making Money#Caravan_Poaching|Caravan Poaching]] is far more lucrative.

== BurgeonCane Farming ==

Using the [[Burgeoning]] mutation, summon and harvest large numbers of {{Favilink|Yonderbrush}}.

=== You will need: ===

* The [[Burgeoning]] Mutation at a level which will create [[Yonderbrush]]

* The [[Burgeoning]] Mutation at a level which will create {{Favilink|Yonderbrush}}

* The [[Harvestry]] ability

* Optional: the [[Meal Preparation]] skill (For those who are willing to drop a bit of profit for convenience)

# Find an uninhabited, empty map tile relatively close to a merchant or merchants. (The portion of the [[Great Salt Desert]] just outside the [[Six Day Stilt]] works great for this)

# Using a combination of [[Burgeoning]] and wait 100 turns, fill the screen with summoned plants. Then, carefully walk through, harvesting the [[Yondercane]] and making sure to avoid any aloe-type plants. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you are satisfied with the amount of [[Yondercane]] you have aquired.

#* (You will lose 25 [[commerce]] value on each [[Yondercane]] you preserve, but this is balanced by the fact that [[Fermented yondercane]] is an incredibly convenient currency due to its weightlessness and low value per unit)

== Caravan Poaching ==

Kill an entire dromad caravan and steal all their stuff.

=== You will need: ===

* A dromad caravan which you are fine with killing

* A method of defeating a dromad caravan

* Plenty of inventory space

* Lots and lots of empty containers

* A [[:Category:Recoilers|Recoiler]] with its location set to a merchant hub. (Seriously. A Saltback corpse is worth 15,000 drams. {{Favilink|Tam}} won't cut it.)

=== Steps: ===

# Find a dromad caravan. They can spawn pretty much anywhere, but the rapid pace at which tiles can be explored in the [[Great Salt Desert]] makes it particularly suitable for searching, if you need to look.

# Somehow, kill every member of the caravan. Keep in mind that the {{Favilink|Caravan guard|plural}} are almost always very well-armed, and {{Favilink|Great saltback|plural}} can be very dangerous.

# Mark the location of the dead caravan on your map. You will be making multiple trips back and forth, and this is very useful.

# Steal and sell their items. The {{Favilink|dromad trader}} is an obvious target, but keep in mind that {{Favilink|Caravan guard|plural}} often wear fairly high-tier armor and carry fairly high-tier weapons. It may be convenient to use a recoiler here to lower the number of trips, but this step can be completed, albeit slightly slower, without a recoiler.

# If the {{Favilink|Great Saltback}} (or {{Favilink|Great Saltback|plural}}) dropped a corpse, pick one up. Then, activate your recoiler.

# You should now appear in the merchant hub you chose. Pick the merchant you want to sell the [[Great saltback corpse]] to. This should be a merchant with lots and lots of high-value goods.

# Drop the [[Great saltback corpse]], move one tile towards your merchant of choice, then, using your interact nearby keybinding (ctrl + direction by default), pick up the [[Great saltback corpse]] from the adjacent tile. Repeat this step until you are close enough to sell it to your merchant of choice.

# Sell the [[Great saltback corpse]] in return for what will likely be the merchant's entire inventory.
