What to Do in Saltwater Mines
You will spend a significant amount of time in Saltwater Mines for multiple reasons:
- To get to the bottom of the dungeon and complete the quest to progress the story.
- To collect natural resources for crafting.
- To defeat Jumbles for both experience and loot.
All of the above can be done simultaneously or selectively. The first time that you enter the floor of a dungeon, you will have to make your way through it manually. This is done by finding the door switch, which is hidden under a resource. You will have to either use your pickax or shovel to dig in search of it. Fortunately, the door remains open after the initial unlock, and once the dungeon seal has been added to the floor’s pedestal, you will be able to teleport directly to the floor.
Tips to Prepare Before Entering Saltwater Mines
Firstly, Fae Farm has an option in the menu called ‘Dungeon Tracker.’ To access it, open your menu and then navigate to the lantern icon. Clicking on this will bring up the list of dungeons. At the start, the only one that you can interact with is Saltwater Mines, but as you progress, the following two will open up.
The Dungeon Tracker provides you with specific information about each floor once you’ve unlocked it. The icon to the left tells you if you have unlocked the ability to teleport to the floor, and the icon to the right tells you if you have gone through that door. To the right of this is a list of all possible resources on the floor.
It is a good idea to bring healing items with you – food-based items or healing potions. Bring a variety of items to replenish your health, stamina, and mana. You will be using all three throughout, as fighting Jumbles depletes your health, collecting resources depletes your stamina, and you can use magic for fighting and collecting resources.

Floor-by-Floor Guide to Jumbles
Jumbles are the enemies that you will encounter in Fae Farm. Everyday items that have come to life and created havoc. Banished to the dungeons, it is now up to you to deal with them. The following are the Jumbles that you will encounter in Saltwater Mines.
| Jumble | Description | Strategy |
| Drecksion | A directionless compass that likes to give chase. | Drecksion will attack you by running forward. An AOE will appear so that you can see the straight path that it will take. It moves faster than the other Jumbles, but is still easy to avoid. |
| Sinker | Ironically, this anchor refuses to stay in one place. | Sinker will attack by jumping up into the air above and slamming down onto you. A circular AOE will appear above Sinker before it drops. Make sure that you are not in this area. |
| Tresroar | Don’t be fooled, no treasure lies in these chests. | When Tresroar is reading to charge at you, a triangular AOE will appear showing you if you are in its direct path. Simply move out of the way before it lunges forward. |
| Cannot | A cannon with legs that is always ready to fire. | When Cannot aims at you, you will see the path of the cannonball. Simply step out of the way before it fires. Cannot will perform a summersault in the air to get closer to you after attacking. |
| Octowheel | No one is sure how that octopus got there but he sure is angry! | Octowheel is constantly on the move. It spins around all over the place. You need to keep an eye on it and make sure that it does not get too close to you. |
Required Dungeon Seals in Saltwater Mine
Crafting the correct Dungeon Seal and placing it on the Dungeon Pedestal on each level has a great benefit. It lets you teleport to any floor of your choice whenever you want. You will not have to progress through each floor to get to a certain level with the resources that you want.
Note: To make Dungeon Seals, you will first need to build a Seal Crafting Station on your Homestead.
| Dungeon Seal | Resources Needed |
| Copper Seal | • 4 Copper Ore |
| Hammered Copper Seal | • 1 Copper Seal • 8 Rough Citrine |
| Engraved Copper Seal | • 1 Copper Seal • 12 Rough Peridot |
| Iron Seal | • 4 Iron Ore |
| Hammered Iron Seal | • 1 Iron Seal • 8 Rough Aquamarine |
| Engraved Iron Seal | • 1 Iron Seal • 12 Rough Topaz |
With all of the above information, you will be able to get the most out of your time in Saltwater Mines! Which is important when the in-game clock never stops ticking. If you are ready to tackle the Floating Ruins, now is the perfect time to do so!
