Gathering Clay ?

Postby Gustyboy » Mon Apr 04, 2011 8:19 pm

Hello.

I am new tu the game, and I don't understand how the clay gathering works.
I managed to gather 3 Acre Clay and 3 Ball Clay in 1 day of playing... I don't know how to do to gather the 45 clay needed for the kiln for example...

I tried to understand how it works, but it seems I failed.
Does someone can explain me how it works please ?

Thanks a lot.

PS : My english is not very good, I'm french.

Most areas only have 1 piece of clay. You should explore with a boat, and check for clay frequently. If you find clay that is better than "quality 10", you will be able to get a lot of clay from that one area. (All clay will regenerate after time passes. I don't remember how much time is needed.)

This page describes clay, but is a little weird. Try to read the "How to Acquire" section, but take your time.

Clay appears in "nodes" It's a location of high quality, surrounded in rings by diminishing quality of clay. As you dig, you lower the quality of whatever clay you're sitting on. If there is no node, you get 1 piece and then you dry up the clay in the area. If there is a node, you dig until you reduce the quality to 10 and then the node dries up.

Cheap way to look for clay: Troll around rivers until you see kilns near the river. Typically that means there's a clay deposit nearby. Only more settled places (usually with palisades) will be willing to travel for clay if it's not right outside their doors.

I might make tutorial for gathering clay if you like.
Also I've found out that there is high chance of finding clay close to a tree near river.

The information for gathering clay is around if people would do a bit of reading first. I don't think it's necessary, but do what you want.

The tree thing is just you're imagination. Clay comes in nodes and is present with or without the trees there. Last world I knew of a quality node on a mudflat that was close to a river so you could get both acre and ball clay out of it.
