So they changed purplish salts to not be available in as many places. Anyone know how far you gotta go in to get them now, and how to avoid the meks?
The meks are *a gigantic and obese shadow*, right? And they come find you and attack when they are [Near]? So you would just salt and spam looking around, and if a Far became Near, gtfo?

Gigantic and obese shadow are salt worms. They won't bother you for the most part, at least unless you bother them. Meks are MEKS and they will chase you and try to kill you when you are near.

Never really explored out that way. Does that mean you can same-room a worm and as long as you don't attack it, it generally won't aggro?
What's a mek look like? 'giant brown thing' or actually like 'a hulking mekillot'?

I always felt if they changed things around a little, it would shake up the status quo. They need to do it more.

Salt Worms are lazy fucks who won't agro that hard as far as I know. At least, unless a staffer is feeling bitter.
Their poison blows tho. Bring fruitstuffs.

A gigantic ruddy brown mekillot trundles here. -what you'll see.
A gigantic, ruddy-brown mekillot arrives/etc
Gigantic and Obese shadows are the saltworms, non-aggro unless staff or you've hit them at some point (like almost any other NPC, they won't forgive you and will try to kill you then, when you come close).

Thanks. They stripped out purplish salts (gold mine) from the parts nearest the road to Allanak, but it's not clear which parts of the flats still have them. Presumably the most dangerous parts, e.g. the parts where you might actually see a Mek. So it actually makes sense as a risk/reward basis to fix the brokenness that was forage one room into the flats.
I was just curious if anyone had tried finding which parts still give purplish and if they had any appraisal of how dangerous those parts were.

You're going to have to bring a mount, spam look while you're foraging and hope an imm isnt watching you and decides to drop a mekillot in the next room while you're doing it. |

They won't do that. For anyone who actually believes they will.

Is there a way to tell that you've entered a part of the flats that will give purplish, or do you just have to forage for a while and if it's not showing up (or forage salt for purplish and you get more fails than you'd expect), move one more room deeper, rinse, repeat? |
