The Salt Mines

__NOTOC__
The Salt Mines are filled with caverns upon caverns of salt veins. They streak through the rock and whenever light hits them, they sparkle like a million tiny diamonds because of their crystals. They are rumored to be imbued with an ancient magic that stretches back farther than Zeruul, the Levyn, and the Mythlands itself. A more scientific explanation is that there are toxic gasses released that create euphoria. It used to be booming, but one axe pick hit the wrong stone and now it's abandoned. One thing is certain. Few have ever seen the Salt Mines and fewer still have ever escaped to tell the tale.

==Seeking Strategy==
When seeking the resources in this location, it is recommended to use Pickaxe. However, using it will make other characters significantly harder to defeat. Unlike in East Core Quarry, Mining Energy doesn't have any effects in here.
Even though Superior Levyn Sap is required to actively hunt in this location, it's impossible to get kicked out to Esert Village during hourly patrols, so it's possible to unequip Superior Levyn Sap during inactive hours without any dangers.
==Loot==
No pieces of special loot are available at The Salt Mines.
