Additionally, the player can sell prisoners to the overseer, though earning only 15 penings regardless of the prisoners' normal value. The player is also able to purchase salt from the mine directly instead of searching for it in towns. The overseer will give the player a pickaxe that they can use to mine the salt, and are granted payment upon mining enough. For one, they can earn an 'honest' living by mining salt. In Viking Conquest, the Salt Mine can be of use to a player for several reasons. The location had two npcs - Barezan and Galeas - who offered the aforementioned services. In the core Mount and Blade games, the Salt Mine was a place where the player could either buy salt and ask about places where it was best to sell or buy certain goods hire low-level troops such as peasants (in some versions) or could sell off their prisoners (a feature present since Warrider). Seek adventure alone, or engage enemies with your army. Fight on foot or on horseback in epic battles. Use one of the most sophisticated and yet intuitive sword-fighting systems ever devised. The mine makes a comeback in Viking Conquest and several mods. Engage in combat against a variety of kingdoms, factions, and rogue warriors - both on foot and horseback. It can still be found in the game files of even the latest version of Warband, and can be activated via editing. It was first added in Warrider (version 0.202), and removed in version 0.894.

The Salt Mine was a neutral location found in older versions of Mount&Blade.
