Gripper Salve

Gripper Salve is a strong-smelling grey paste made by the Jalis people. It is the only effective treatment for Gripper wounds.

Return to Del
After being injured by Grippers while trying to avoid the notice of Grey Guards, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine are brought to Withick Mire by Steven. There, Glock tells them that bandages alone will not heal their wounds, and brings out a jar of Gripper Salve. When asked what it is, he replies that the people who made it are long dead, but that his tribe used it in the old days for those who blundered into the Gripper fields.

Secrets of Deltora
Doran notes that in order to safely travel through Diamond territory, it is recommended to have at least one jar of Gripper Salve. He mentions that all farmhouses keep a good supply of it, and that it can be bought at any store, tavern, or dwelling. According to him, a place called Milly's Chowder House sells two jars for one gold coin, which Doran calls a good value.
