Tailoring

Clay is used in the spool of the Sewing Machine to create a Shirt. It can be used in dyeing, serving as an orange dye at the dye pots, located in Emily's and Haley's house, 2 Willow Lane.

Quests

Two, three, or five Clay may be requested by several fish in Fish Pond quests.

Tips

• It may be worth considering digging for clay in the Mines, as this has a higher clay rate than outside of the mines, can easily be reset, and will additionally produce Cave Carrots and other items such as certain Artifacts depending on floor level. Bombs or other explosives can be used to dig the dirt faster.
