Salty crablets can only be found on Uncharted Isles in the Arc region in groups of 6 crablets. Despite being a creature, the crystal deposit on the crablets back acts as a mining resource. Mining the deposit requires level 90 Mining, and yields sea salt, sought after as an ingredient in arc gumbo. The sea salt may also be sold for 4 chimes each to Yin Yan at the Salty Goods shop in the Waiko market.

When a player begins mining a crablet, it becomes "relaxed" and ceases movement until the deposit on its back has been depleted, indicated by a timer. A crablet will remain relaxed until 34 sea salt has been obtained. These crablets will replenish their deposits when relogging or hopping worlds.

Players have a chance to harvest salt from the crablet's back on average every four swings (less with critical swings). At level 99 Mining a player can expect approximately 80,000-90,000 Mining experience and around 350 sea salt per hour.

Boosts

• Mining boosts such as the Quarrymaster aura, Gemstone golem outfits, Invention perks, and the Asciatops perk will affect the amount of salt per hour mined from the crablets.
• A dwarven ramhammer can be used to gain either double damage or double experience.
• The perfect juju mining potion and normal juju mining potion effects do not activate while mining crablets.

Trivia

• When depleting a salty crablet of its sea salt, a filterable message says "You have removed all the salt crystals from this crablet."
• Salty crablets are not true crabs as they only have 3 pairs of walking legs, "true crabs" have 4 pairs.
