Getting Clay: Other

Learn the best ways to farm Clay in No Rest for the Wicked. Discover efficient digging routes and vendor tips to gather this essential resource.

Alright, so you need Clay, huh? It's one of those resources that you'll always need more of, especially early on. Don't worry, it's not too bad once you know where to look. The main way to get Clay is by digging up those little burial sites you find scattered around the world. You'll need a shovel, of course!

When you dig these spots, you might get roots, coins, charcoal, or other goodies, but Clay is a bit rare. They did buff the drop rate a little in a hotfix, so it's better than it was, but still, be prepared to do some digging.

Here's a solid route to try for finding those burial spots:

Start in Sacrament and head out into the Orban Glades. Follow the main path down, and keep an eye out for a big hill to your left. There's usually a burial spot right there. If you want more dig spots, you can climb up the vines near that hill – just be ready for a few guards. You'll also find a mushroom circle and a chest up there, and it's a good way to get back down. You might even spot some copper ore nearby.

After that, make your way into Mariner’s Keep. There are several digging spots around the castle itself and in the lake area to the north. Once you're done exploring the castle, head over to the Shallows from the Keep's main gate.

In the Shallows, you'll find a dig spot right along the road near the ruined tower that has a Cerim Whisper. Keep going, and you'll find another burial spot on the beach, pretty close to where you first wake up after the tutorial. It's a nice little loop!

Pro-Tip: Don't forget about the general goods trader back in Sacrament! They can sell you 1-2 Clay each day. It's a small amount, but it adds up over time, so make sure to check in with them daily.

Another Tactic for Farming: If you're really desperate or just want to reset resource spots, you can start a new realm. This respawns all the basic enemies and resource nodes. You can then run through the early game areas like the Shallows and Mariner's Keep again. If you get good at it, you can even rush to the first boss, pop into Sacrament to buy vendor Clay if needed, then reset the realm and go back to your main world. It's a bit of a grind, but it works!

Where to Avoid: Honestly, try to skip the really rocky or built-up areas. Places like The Nameless Pass have a few dig spots, but they're often in awkward places and just not worth the hassle. Some other built areas don't seem to have any Clay spots at all. Stick to the routes mentioned above for the best results.

So, that's the lowdown on getting Clay. Happy digging!
