How to get Clay in Enshrouded

Before you go trekking across the map we recommend you craft a pickaxe, Glider, Grappling Hook, and store all of your materials in a few chests in case you die while travelling.

Once you've done this, head directly north from the starting area to the surrounding area of Willow Crush and Ancient Vault - Farmer, far north of Braelyn Bridge. This is the first place that we came across where you can get Clay in Enshrouded (specific locations are detailed in the section below).

After Willow Crush, we recommend heading further north to the Ancient Spire - Revelwood landmark, as the surrounding area here is the best place to find Clay in Enshrouded. We also highly recommend completing this spire's trial so that you can unlock Ancient Spire - Revelwood as a Fast Travel spot at its peak. This allows you to use the glider to quickly reach the nearby Clay locations.

We've listed some of the best places to find clay below, along with map pictures.

Enshrouded Clay locations

The best places to get Clay in Enshrouded are near the Ancient Spire - Revelwood landmark and surrounding Willow Crush and Ancient Vault - Farmer. Once you complete the trials in the Revelwood spire a fast travel spot will unlock at its peak, which makes farming Clay here a lot easier than at Willow Crush.

Clay is found outside of the Shroud, so no need to worry about a timer - do keep an eye out for regular enemies in the area, however, especially those pesky boar roaming around the Revelwood forests.

We've got more details below, but at a glance here's a map of Clay locations in Enshrouded:

Enshrouded Clay location 3

Directly under the Ancient Spire - Revelwood landmark. We had to complete the spire to unlock the fast travel point at the top to reach the clay on top of this large boulder.

The best place to find Clay is directly west of the Ancient Spire - Revelwood landmark. You can get to all three locations in just a few seconds by gliding from the top of the spire after unlocking it as a fast travel point.

Enshrouded Clay location 9

This one is a little risky to get to unless you've placed a Flame Altar close to it, as you need to Glide a long way east from the Ancient Spire - Revelwood landmark, and it's very easy to miss the landing spot and fall into the Shroud below.

How to farm Clay in Enshrouded

There are two main ways to farm Clay in Enshrouded:

  • Get to Clay locations quickly by gliding from the Ancient Spire - Revelwood landmark.
  • Get to Clay locations quickly by placing a Flame Altar next to them.

Whatever method you choose, remember that when you exit Enshrouded and re-enter a world, all of its resources will reset. Meaning you can farm a Clay area until it runs dry, then restart your game and the Clay will be back - creating an infinite Clay farming loop.

If this ever gets patched, we recommend farming the multiple Clay locations near the Ancient Spire - Revelwood landmark, as they're very easy to get to from the spire's fast travel point.

It takes about two days in-game for Clay to respawn if you're not using the restarting trick.
