- I tried trading 5 Lufet salts, regular rock salt, and HQ rock salts. Only the lufet salt got any reaction out of her. Whether it is a dud and have to trade her more until she accepts one, or its another item, idk. Will try farming items in the zone, like the sand sweeper pop item, and see if the "sand" makes a decent salt substitute. --Dracko 11:30, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
- Finished this quest once now. I went fishing at the pond at G-7 so I wouldn't hafta worry about nearby mobs. Used a Composite Rod and Fly Lure. Mostly got "You didn't catch anything." messages, along with several item catches (Rusty Caps, Rusty Leggings, and something that was too small for my rod). Fished up 3 Badlands Crabs, with the first 2 dropping nothing, and the 3rd dropping a Badlands Salt. This was with no TH (SAM90/DNC45). I forgot to check them, but I figure they were DC. I also fished up a Sand Pugil, which was EM. --Kyrie 04:05, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
- I did this for a little while the other day, it has just as horrible of a rate on getting any seal as any other quest I suppose, you would think with all the time spend getting the salts they could have made the drop rate slightly higher with this quest. I started out on Blm trying it and not only was the bite rate horrible on catching a crab but the drop rate on the badland's salt was horrible too, so I went back as 90thf/45dnc and the drop rate was significantly better i think i averaged 2 salt for every 3 crabs fished but still in 90 minutes only managed to get about 9 salts on this run. This quest is definitely not for those who are low on stones, as by far this is the most time consuming one that I have done yet. --Bis-Killertaru 04:12, January 22, 2011 (UTC)
The bite rate for mobs sucks ---- dibble 12:04, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

I tried it with my Halcyon Rod and Insect paste, and it really did not seem to work that well. Then I switched to a Fly Lure, and got it within 3 tries! So take that into consideration :)
