# Chapter 14: Salt Awakening

📅 **May 2026 – August 2026** | 🎟️ Chapter token: **Salt Rock**

An ancient force awakened beneath the shores — **Salt** became the farm's newest treasure.

### 🧂 Salt Farming

Rake **Salt** from charge-accumulating salt nodes along your coast, and upgrade your **Salt Farm** and **Salt Sculpture** to boost production.

### 🐟 The Aging Shed

The chapter's signature building — **age your fish** to multiply their XP value, with a chance at rare **Prime Aged** results. Aging mastery even earned its own [skill tree](/player-guides/skills.md).

### 🫙 Preservation Crafts

A whole preservation kitchen arrived: **pickling**, **fermentation**, and the 6-slot **Spice Rack** turned everyday produce into valuable preserved goods.

👉 Salt farming, aging and preservation are now permanent systems for coastal farmers.
