You get Enshrouded Salt from deposits in the Springlands Shroud, mainly at the Egerton Salt Mines, and as loot from Hollow skeletons. It goes into 21 recipes and Flame Level 3, and Leather and Shroud Vapor eat the most of it.
This guide covers both sources, every recipe with amounts and stations, and our math on how much Enshrouded Salt you really need for the Flame Altar, your backpack and Leather. Item data and recipes come from the game data database enshrouded.th.gl.
๐ง What Enshrouded Salt is
The in-game description calls it a crystalline powder found in shrouded valleys and adds that it makes food taste a lot better. Enshrouded Salt is a level 5 crafting material. The database doesn't list a stack size, while the English community wiki enshrouded.wiki.gg gives 250.
At level 5 it's a resource from your first hours in the game. Even so, it keeps showing up in the late game, for example in Shroud Vapor (level 33) and Water Reptile Leather (level 40).
๐ Enshrouded Salt location: Egerton Salt Mines in the Springlands
The database lists the Springlands Shroud as the biome, so the shrouded valleys of the starting region. The map on enshrouded.th.gl marks 2 locations. The community wiki names two mining spots:
- Egerton Salt Mines: according to the wiki, located immediately east-northeast of the Alchemist's Ancient Vault, where you find the Alchemist.
- Saline Quarry: according to the wiki, a salt mine southeast of the starting area in the first shrouded valley you come across.
It's likely that the two map markers are exactly these two spots, but the database doesn't say so outright. Neither the database nor the wiki says which tool the deposits need, so check in-game whether your pickaxe is good enough. For getting your bearings in the Springlands, see our Enshrouded map guide.
๐บ๏ธ The Salt Mine Location quest
The Hunter sends you to the mine with the quest Salt Mine Location. The task is to reach the Egerton Salt Mines and collect Salt there. Her reason: you need it to preserve furs. The quest doesn't ask for a minimum amount. How to rescue the Hunter is covered in our Enshrouded craftspeople guide.
Your time in the Shroud is limited, so plan your mining run before you go. What helps down there is in our Enshrouded Shroud timer guide.
๐ Enshrouded Salt drops from Hollow skeletons
Enemies are the second source. According to enshrouded.th.gl, some variants of the Hollow skeletons drop 1 to 2 Enshrouded Salt with a 100 percent chance. The database groups a lot of undead under this entry, from basic skeletons up to much larger Hollow enemies, and counts 570 spawn points across all regions from the Springlands to the Veilwater Basin.
The community wiki ties the drop to one specific enemy, the Hollow Damned, also at 1 to 2 pieces. According to the wiki, you find it in crypts, tombs and temples across Embervale, and in large numbers inside the Hollow Halls. Neither the database nor the wiki lists a vendor or a crafting recipe for the material.
๐ฅ Flame Level 3 needs 10 Enshrouded Salt
The first must-have is the Flame Altar. According to enshrouded.th.gl, Flame Level 3 costs 10 Salt, 5 Spark, 10 Shroud Wood, 10 Flintstone, 25 Mycelium, 10 Wax and one Scavenger Matron Helmet. It unlocks Revelwood and gives you 7 minutes in the Shroud. You make Wax at the Beehive from fiber, 3 per piece, so 30 fiber get you the 10 you need.
You're heading into the Springlands Shroud for the salt mines anyway, so it's easy to grab other altar materials on the same trip. Plan a dedicated run instead of waiting for random drops. The helmet is covered in our Scavenger Matron Helmet guide, and every level is listed in our Flame Altar levels guide.
๐ All 21 Enshrouded Salt recipes
The database and the community wiki both list 21 recipes. Names and stations come from enshrouded.th.gl, and we cross-checked amounts and yields with the wiki. Where the database shows no amount, we used the wiki value.

The bread goes into 5 more recipes, the rice into 7 and the pastry base into 3 cakes. Which buffs are worth it is covered in our Enshrouded food buffs guide.
๐งช Leather, alchemy and spells
| Recipe (yield) | Station | Salt | Other ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leather (10) | Tanning Station | 20 | 10 Dried Fur, 2 Ammonia Gland |
| Shroud Vapor (5) | Laboratory | 20 | 10 Enshrouded Ice, 15 Active Mycelium |
| Purified Slime (10) | Ectoplasm Press | 10 | 3 Toxic Slime, 3 Charcoal, 1 Wood Acid |
| Eternal Ice Bolt I (1) | Alchemist | 10 | 5 Shroud Wood |
| Ice Protection Lotion (1) | Collector | 5 | 5 Bonemeal, 2 Ectoplasm |
| Dried Fur (1) | Drying Rack | 3 | 1 Animal Fur |
| Reptile Leather (3) | Drying Rack | 3 | 1 Reptile Hide |
| Water Reptile Leather (3) | Drying Rack | 3 | 1 Water Reptile Hide |
| Mana Drain II (1) | Manual crafting | 2 | 2 Midnight Lily |
| Nitrate (5) | Laboratory | 1 | 1 Wood Acid, 5 Shroud Sand, 5 Sand |
The database lists the Collector for the Ice Protection Lotion, while the wiki also names the Ectoplasm Press. Dried Fur is the hidden big spender. According to the database, it goes into 33 recipes, including the Small Backpack, beds and many Explorer armor pieces. Leather goes into 68 recipes. For Reptile Leather, see our Enshrouded Reptile Leather guide.
You need Nitrate for Black Powder and Fertilised Farm Soil, among other things. Shroud Vapor goes into 17 recipes, such as the Superior Health Potion. Purified Slime is mostly used for Hollow Halls showcases and Hollow's Eve decorations.
๐งฎ Our math: where your Enshrouded Salt goes
Divide the amount by the yield and you see where your stock disappears. Here's the cost per finished piece:
| Result | Salt per piece |
|---|---|
| Eternal Ice Bolt I | 10 |
| Leather (including Dried Fur) | 5 |
| Ice Protection Lotion | 5 |
| Shroud Vapor | 4 |
| Dried Fur | 3 |
| Reptile Leather, Water Reptile Leather, Crab Cakes, Purified Slime | 1 |
| Soups, rice, Nitrate, Shortcrust Pastry Base | 0.2 |
Leather is the biggest drain. One run at the Tanning Station costs 20 Enshrouded Salt directly, plus 10 Dried Fur at 3 each. That's 50 for 10 Leather, or 5 per piece. Food is cheap by comparison. A soup with 5 servings usually takes just one.
Crafting all 21 recipes once plus Flame Level 3 adds up to 108. Count the 10 Dried Fur the Leather run needs and you're at 135. At 1 to 2 drops per skeleton, or 1.5 on average, that's about 90 skeletons. So the mine is your main source of Enshrouded Salt, and the skeletons are a bonus on the side.
๐ก Enshrouded Salt farming tips
- Stock up before Flame Level 3: 10 for the altar, plus enough for a few Dried Fur for the Small Backpack.
- Clear Hollow Halls: You run into lots of skeletons in a tight space there.
- Batch your Leather: Collect 50 Enshrouded Salt before you go to the Tanning Station, so you have enough for a full run.
- Plan for the late game: Shroud Vapor burns through 20 per run. Build up a stack before the Veilwater Basin.
