You’ll need to find clay in Enshrouded a lot, but it’s a difficult resource to locate. In fact, if you haven’t done much exploration, there’s a good chance you haven’t come across any Enshrouded clay yet. As lumps of clay are used in many crafting recipes, such as the kiln and the explosive powder grenade, it’s important to change that.
Here’s how to find clay in Enshrouded, including the best clay farming spot.
How to find clay in Enshrouded
The world of Enshrouded is full of clay, but you need to know where to look for - it can’t be found in the Springlands, the first region in the game, but it’s a common resource in the Revelwood area. So, likeEnshrouded metal scraps, say, it’s not obvious where to get it when you first start to look out of it. And compared to that,shroud woodorEnshrouded resin, you won’t find any by chance until you reach the right place.
The Revelwood region is located north of the Springlands, with the border being near the Farmer’s Ancient Vault. From the game’s first spawn point at the Cinder Vault, cross Braelyn Bridge, walk past the Ancient Spire in the Springlands, and keep going further north to find it. The first chunks of clay can be found northeast of the Farmer’s Ancient Fault; look out for rock formations with lots of small red lumps of clay on the side, as shown in the picture above.
The best farming location for clay is around the Revelwood Ancient Spire building (large red dot in the picture). The Ancient Spire functions as a teleport waypoint, so it’s a good idea to unlock that first and then fast-travel back whenever you need more clay.
Beware, however, that a large part of Revelwood is cut off by a deadly red shroud at the start of the game, including the Ancient Spire. You need to upgrade your Flame Level to level 3 to access this area (this can be done at a Flame Altar at one of your bases). If you can’t level up your Flame just yet, you can instead look for some clay near the Ancient Vault of the Farmer (small red dot on the map above). Starting from there, walk to the northeast and look for an old tavern, as shown on the right side of the picture. The rock formation with the lumps of clay is behind it.
Clay is used in many Enshrouded crafting recipes. To give you an idea of how much you’ll need, here are the most important clay crafting recipes at the start of the game:
