Water is a crucial resource in Caves of Qud and is used for survival as well as currency. Here’s how to get and manage water:

Method 1: Find Freshwater Sources

1. Springs and Ponds

   • Look for natural freshwater pools, often found in caves, jungles, or other biomes.

   • Stand near the water and use the Interaction Menu (press Spacebar) to collect it.

2. Settlements

   • Some villages have community wells or cisterns where you can fill your containers.

Method 2: Trade or Buy Water

1. Visit merchants in settlements like Joppa or Kyakukya.

   • Many merchants sell freshwater in flasks or waterskins.

2. Trade goods or currency to purchase water.

Method 3: Harvest Water From Rain

1. If it’s raining, use containers like waterskins or jugs to collect water.

   • Stand in the rain and open the Interaction Menu (press Spacebar) to gather water.

2. This method works best in areas with frequent rainfall.

Method 4: Convert Salty or Polluted Water

1. Use a desalinator or purifier to make salty or brackish water drinkable.

   • These devices can often be looted or purchased.

2. If you lack a purifier, avoid collecting saltwater or polluted water, as drinking it is harmful.

Method 5: Loot from Enemies or Containers

1. Many humanoid enemies, like snapjaws or bandits, carry waterskins or jugs.

   • Kill these enemies and loot their water supplies.

2. Check chests or other lootable containers for water storage items.

Tips for Managing Water

• Carry extra waterskins. This increases your capacity and helps you stock up for long journeys.

• Be careful in desert biomes. Water is scarce, so plan ahead and bring enough for your trip.

• Use water wisely. Avoid trading too much water unless necessary, as it’s critical for survival.

Water is life in Caves of Qud. Keep your supplies high, and you’ll be ready for anything the game throws at you.
