Salt

[Orcling]

So yeah, Salt.
Why was it ever nerfed down to 5%?
Salt nodes are pretty rare and you get 2 salt per week, that's 10% at base quality.
Meanwhile i can say hello to a tree 3 grids away from the questgiver and he reduces hunger by 30%. All within 10 minutes.
If anything, salt should be buffed, so far all the special nodes are underwhelming as hell and there doesn't seem to be any point anymore. No one in my village even bothers to check any nodes that aren't literally on our doorstep anymore, because why would you walk 30 minutes for the CHANCE to get salt if you could just do a bunch of quests in the same time.

Or quests nerfed to worse than salt?

[MadNomad]

we should be able to get salt from the sea!

...Why was it ever nerfed down to 5%?..

I would have thought that the resource was devalued due to the struggle with the claims and the titans. But adding a lotus bloom makes a similar assumption illogical.

i dont even check resources out my front door because its just too easy for some douche to set up an alt to check it on a timer and i do not care enough to have to battle a butt naked alt over something, but thats an issue with the nodes in general than salt specifically.

salt pits should be buffed in their numbers given, and salt should be extracted from the ocean in some ridiculously time consuming method!

Resources can't be claimed anymore. so that makes no sense either.

Resources can't be claimed anymore...

Since when?

Since when?

They were never personal claimable in w10, only village claims can go over top of resources.

This means the possibility of claims. I thought the night update changed something :\

That said, I've never seen someone run a village claim out to salt. Mountains to take over 10 different resources on one mountain, sure. The problem created this world with the new siege system is that while you can't claim the palisade, you can still build one around a natural resource that will take someone 24 hours drying a siege weapon to destroy. Previously we didn't see much of this because the palisade will have a weak spot that can't be claimed due to the inability to extend the claim over the resource itself, so it was merely a few brimstone and an hour of your time to poke a hole in an ice or rock crystal node.
