Some Tips of Getting Clay in Stardew Valley
So, there are actually quite a few ways that you can get clay in Stardew Valley but know that none of them are quite 100% so you won’t get clay every time you do these.
Digging Artifacts Spots to get Clay in Stardew Valley
The first way to get claims is by digging up artifact’s spots with your hoe. Those are the patches of worms that you see on the ground every so often. Every time you take one of these up there’s the possibility that you might get some clay and you might even get more than one piece. But even if you don’t get clay, you can still get some pretty cool stuff from these spots.
Getting Clay from the Geodes in Stardew Valley
Another way to get clay is from geodes you mainly get geodes from breaking open rocks in the mines. You then take your geodes to the blacksmith who will break them open for you and you have a chance of getting clay from them, but you don’t get clay all that often.
Digging Sand and Dirt to Get Clay in Stardew Valley
You can also get clay by digging up sand and dirt but it’s not exactly the best way to find clay because this one is kind of random and you can find yourself using them quite a bit of energy before you find any clay this way.
Tip: It may be worth considering digging for clay in the Mines, as this will additionally produce Cave Carrots. Bombs or other explosives can be used to dig the dirt faster.
