Salty crabletines are young crablets, and despite being a creature, the crystal deposit on their back acts as a mining resource. Mining the deposit requires level 90 Mining, and yields sea salt; an ingredient required in making arc gumbo. Ten salty crabletines can be found on the north-west shore of Cyclosis.

When clicking on a crablet to mine, they will become stationary. Salty crabletines may be mined randomly between 4-5.5 minutes before exhausting the salt crystals on their back. Each crablet has a unique timer, which does not stop even if the player stops mining a crablet, or begins to mine another. The following message is shown when their salt crystals have depleted: "The salt crystals on the nearby crablet have disappeared."

Experience rates[]

Mining salty crabletines gives approximately 78,000 Mining experience and 705 chimes an hour at level 99 Mining. Using a golden mining suit, magic golem outfit and a pickaxe with the Honed 5 and Furnace 3 perks gives around 108,000 experience and 867 chimes an hour.

Boosts[]

Mining boosts such as the Quarrymaster aura, Golem outfits, and Invention Perks do affect the number of salts mined from the crablet; the effects of the Perfect juju mining potion and normal Juju mining potion will not activate from mining the crablet however.
