Clay is a core ingredient for Pottery. The quality of the products made by the clay is based upon the quality of the clay, the kiln used, and the branches provided to fuel the kiln; the quality is also soft- capped by the dexterity of the pottery craftier. The only way to get higher quality clay is to find certain shallow areas that produce higher quality clays. For more information on finding high quality clay, go to this link.
As of the May 30th Clay update, clay has been diversified into multiple 'species' of clay, though like String, they all serve the same purpose and all existing recipes that call for clay will accept any form of clay.
Clay forms are as follows:
- Acre Clay - Dug up on Mudflats
- Ball Clay - Dug up in the shallow water of rivers or lakes
- Bone Clay - Must be crafted
- Cave Clay - Appears in shallow water in caves
- Gray Clay - Appears in any shallow surface water
Also, the clay update made the Nature/Industry personal belief slider influence the success rate of gathering clay. With full nature, success rate is 0.5x the normal, and with full industry, the success rate is 2x the normal- you can gather two clay from each Gray clay and Cave clay node.
How to Acquire
Ball clay is obtained by digging in shallow water, whilst Acre clay is obtained by digging on mudflats. Simply digging on either terrain type will not yield clay unless there is a clay node present. However, on occasion it is possible to receive a single piece of 10 quality clay even when not digging on a node. A node can be identified if you receive multiple units of quality 10 clay, or a unit of clay over 10 quality.
For more tips on finding clay, view the Finding high quality water, clay, and soil page.
Digging from a clay deposit can slowly reduce the quality of the point also. Once the quality drops to 10, further digging will exhaust that part of the deposit.
It takes approximately 3.5 seconds to dig up one unit of clay.
Gray clay and Cave clay are not dug up like conventional Ball and Acre clay, but instead appear as nodes in the same manner Mussels and other do. To gather them, you have to "Pick" them, as you would with plants.
Bone clay is crafted, from five units of Bone ash (produced from bones fired in a kiln), one Cave clay and a single Feldspar. The quality of the produced Bone clay is influenced by your Intelligence and Perception, and appears to be affected by the quality of the Feldspar more than the quality of the other ingredients.
There are quality points for clay in caves as well, so it is possible to find cave clay of quality higher than 10
