Depending on what you are looking to craft during your time in Stardew Valley<\/strong><\/em>, Clay<\/strong> could end up very high on your priority list when it comes to resources. That doesn\u2019t mean getting enough Clay to actually do anything will be easy, however.\u00a0<\/p>
Clay is not a specifically rare resource but it is only found in select areas<\/strong> within your Stardew Valley<\/em><\/a> <\/em>farm, depending on which one you selected at the start<\/a>, or from outside sources. You won\u2019t actually need Clay for early-game crafting, though you will want to start stockpiling it early because it takes a lot of energy to get this resource rolling\u2014so here is a look at how you can get Clay and what it is used for.<\/p>
How to find Clay in Stardew Valley<\/em><\/h2> ![\"Stone,](\"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/stardew-hilltop-farm.jpg?w=640\")
You can find Clay on just about every farm. Screenshot by Dot Esports.<\/figcaption><\/figure> Finding Clay is actually easier than you think since all you need to do is use a hoe on specific spots on the ground<\/strong>. These spots, sometimes known as Dirt Patches<\/strong>, have a distinct look when you see them in any part of Stardew Valley<\/em>, making them easy to locate and dig up when you are looking for Clay or other resources.\u00a0<\/p>
If you see worms popping out of the ground too, make sure you dig up those spots because they tend to net you a good amount of Clay. These discolored patches can be found on your farm, at the beach, and in mines if you are looking closely\u2014all of which can net you at least a few Clay for digging them up. Geodes and Artifact Spots can also contain the resource, though you should probably find better ways to farm Clay quickly<\/a>.<\/p>
What is Clay used for in Stardew Valley<\/em>?<\/h2> Not only is Clay annoying to find in large quantities but it is also used as an ingredient in several items and buildings<\/strong> you will need to improve your farm. Thankfully, none of the recipes need that much Clay<\/strong> but you should start storing it in your Big Chests<\/a> early to avoid needing to actively farm it when you do end up needing it.\u00a0<\/p>
