How do you increase the chances of finding clay?

[Lydia]

So I have just started a new character, and I was wondering if there is some way I can increase the chances of finding Acre Clay. I currently find around 1 clay per, around 10 minutes. Does it fall under survival? Or exploration? Or is it even changeable at all?

Clay is based on the map. If you can't find clay at one location then move farther along the map and try again.

Clay is found in nodes around the world. You just have to move to a new area to find more. It's not tied to any skills.

forget about acre clay, ball clay is easier to find/harvest/transport.

Doesn't really matter where you find it. Take what you can get. If you find an acre clay spot, then set up next to it so you can do most of your processing there. Don't move a large bunch of clay. Make what you want on the spot. That is unless you're making bricks for a wall (and then it's a decision to process on the spot or haul the clay back chests at a time).

If transport is a pain for you, then set yourself up a claim where the clay is and build a small wall and put your hearth fire there. FYI, this only works if your part of a village (with a village totem). You can then travel back and forth quickly. It'll take a good bit of wine, beer and tobacco, though, as you need to have your travel weariness low enough.

Old thread, but is there any way to see the potential quality besides just digging?

never can you find quality without testing.
