The way to get clay might be confusing and possibly tedious to some gamers, and there will be some hustling involved. However, this kind of grind is most likely expected for experiencedAnimal Crossingplayers. So, for fans who want to let their imagination fly with the material, here is how they can get some extra clay.
The best place to get the most clay is from rocks on theMystery Island Tours inAnimal Crossing.On the gamer’s home island, they can only get clay materials from rocks daily, but Mystery Island Tours allows for new materials each time the player goes, so the drop rate is higher. Just verify to save up on Nook Miles tickets to get as many materials as possible.
There are three different types of rocks on these islands instead of the two on the player’s island, further increasing their odds. If gamers bring a shovel or an axe and use it against the rocks, the clay can potentially drop beside the player. A big tip for gamers is to dig holes behind them when they hit the rock, so they aren’t flown back too far. This way, they will be able to gather as many materials from rocks as they can. Fans can then use the clay tocraft DIY items inAnimal Crossing, such as a brick oven, a cherry blossom bonsai, a brick fence, and even an ocarina.
The only other option for players is to find clay inBalloon Presents, but it will be a much lower drop rate for clay. If gamers are not interested in crafting with clay, they could always sell it. Clay can stack up to 30 pieces and sells for 100 bells a pop. Either way, this can hopefully help players grind for clay at a much faster rate.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
