Lunar salt impossible?

[Ynk]

So, I'm at day 80 or 90 and trying to make the lunar salt to go forward but I can't do the tilted potion because I need the lunar salt for that... How the heck do I proceed??

Which potion are you having trouble with?

[SciFiGuy]

whatever potion it is you're making will be available on the water map as well which won't require rotation. Once you make it there you can make lunar salt then use lunar salt to make a new recipe using the oil map.

You do not need to use Moon Salt to make Moon Salt. That would be silly. In order to have access to the Moon Salt recipe, you must already have bought something else from the alchemist, but it sounds like you never look at at it, read it or examined what it does... Specifically, you must have already bought the Oil base and completed that chapter in the Path before the Moon Salt recipe becomes available... If you bought it without looking at what it was or what it does, do that now; it has the answer you're looking for.

Use that oil baby

[SciFiGuy]

Well, OP which potion are you trying to make?

You basically need to switch maps depending on if the potion you're trying to rotate is on the water map or the oil map.

For your first moon salt craft, fire and ice protection should be made on the oil map and all other potions should be made on the water map.

Once you've made moon salt you can rotate the potions and mix match either map

Despite being relatively "easy" to pass on until now, you should most definitely continue discovering more paths and potions on the oil map. Then, you'll be able to do it.
Yeah, oil it up. ¯\_( ° ᵜ ° )_/¯

lol everyone keeps saying to use the oil map, when by what the OP said, it's entirely possible they're on the oil map already trying to make lightning or something =\ like, way more nodes on the oil map are rotated than the water map

I'll say it again, frost and fire protection should be made on the oil map for lunar salt, all the others on the water map.

"I can't do a tilted potion without the salt" makes it pretty clear what they need...

[SciFiGuy]

Situation 1: They are on the water map and found fire or ice protection tilted and don't know about the oil map with untilted ones

situation 2: they are on the oil map and are trying to make light potion which is tilted

I agree situation 1 is probably more likely XD, but everyone just saying "UsE The OiL MAp" isn't really as accurate or as helpful as it seems. Maybe they do know about the oil map, but think that all the potions have to be made in oil. My point is, you don't actually know what they need just based off of "i can't do a tilted potion without the salt". You can guess, but the information is not provided

As I already said twice, actual helpful advice here is to say that Fire and Frost protection should be made on the oil map, and all the others on the water map, at least for your first lunar salt recipe

There's no Fear on oil map. You need either water map with Moon/Sun Salt, or wine map.

I'm not sure when wine can show up, but Fear 3 is first needed for Rubedo, and by that point you definitely can make Moon Salt.
