When a {{name}} is applied to a container of liquid, or dropped into a pool of liquid on the ground, it removes up to 200 drams of {{favilink|salt}}, leaving behind the pure liquid.
When a {{name}} is applied to a container of [[Liquid|liquid]], or dropped into a pool of liquid on the ground, it removes up to 200 drams of {{f|salt}}, leaving behind the remaining liquid.{{Code Reference|class=DesalinationPellet|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=PurifyLiquid|name=PurifyLiquid}}


{{favilink|ichor merchant|plural}} and {{favilink|Hortensa}} always have several {{name|plural}} for sale; they also rarely appear in generalist [[merchant]]s' inventories.

As {{name|plural}} have no weight, they can be carried as a means of cleaning widely-available salty water for trade or consumption as an alternative to carrying freshwater or precious metals.
== Special Liquid Interactions ==


The enterprising player can use a single desalination pellet to turn 1000 drams of brackish water (which typically generates with 20% salt content) into 800 drams of [[Fresh water]]. This is best achieved by throwing the pellet into an undisturbed pool from an adjacent space, as standing in newly-desalinated water tends to contaminate it with salt from the ground.

Certain liquids change into other liquids under the effect of a {{name}}.
* {{f|brain brine}} turns into {{f|algae}}.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidBrainBrine|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}
* {{f|slime}} turns into {{f|gel}}.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidSlime|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}
* {{f|sunslag}} turns into {{f|lava}}.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidSunslag|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}
* {{f|warm static}} turns into any other pure liquid completely. This includes rare ones like {{f|neutron flux}}. However, it is most likely to turn into {{f|salt}}, with a chance of 16.7% compared to 3.3% chance for any other pure liquid.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidWarmStatic|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}

Generally the only one of these conversions that will be useful to the player is turning slime into gel, for curing [[Ironshank]] or [[fungal infection]]s.
