salt is a very common liquid found throughout the land in and surrounding Qud. The ground's primary liquid is considered salt, so all liquids that are poured on an empty tile becomes mixed with salt as well. It has no worth, because of how commonly it can be found. If salt is in a liquid, it will be salty or brackish.

Drinking salt will increase thirst by -100,000 for each dram of salt consumed. For example. if one dram of brackish water is consumed which is 50/50 each salt and water, it will replenish 5,000 thirst (from 0.5 drams water) and lose -50,000 thirst (from 0.5 drams salt). Because of this, salt water will not satiate thirst and is worthless in trade. If the drinker consumed it with their mouth, which means they did not take Amphibious, they will get the message "Blech, it's salty!".

• The alchemist is guaranteed to have one dram of salt available for purchase.
