Disney Dreamlight Valley is home to an absolutely staggering amount of ingredients that you’ll need to find if you want to make every meal in the base game and its two expansions. And speaking of expansions, The Storybook Vale hasn’t shied away from adding a wide variety of new meals and new ingredients to make them. One of these ingredients—Salt Crystals— can seem a bit elusive at first, but it’s really not that hard to find.
That being said, obtaining a full stack of Salt Crystals can be a bit time-consuming, so we’ll tell you where to find this ingredient in The Storybook Vale and how to stock up on it faster.
Where to find Salt Crystals in The Storybook Vale
If you’ve glanced at Salt Crystals in your collection menu, you’ve no doubt seen that it lists all four sections from the Everafter as locations to obtain the ingredient. However, clearing the way to all of these areas doesn’t reveal anything to harvest or purchase to grant you Salt Crystals. That’s because this ingredient is, strangely, only obtained via fishing.
Salt Crystals are caught by fishing in the Everafter biome. But before you go casting your lure into the colorful pools scattered through this darkly magical section of The Storybook Vale, it’s important to remember that Salt Crystals can only be obtained by fishing outside of pools.
Unfortunately, this ingredient shares a spawn with fish, so not every cast will earn you a Salt Crystal. But make sure that you bring along a fishing friend so that you’ll earn a second Salt Crystal each time you fish one up. Keep at it long enough and you’ll have yourself a full stack of this spice.
