Is this the most profitable farming method for clay?

[HaleyRocks]

Lucky or very lucky day -> 1x treasure totem at the beach -> generous hoe yield of ~30+ clay, reset day until success

Or there is another faster/more ludicrous way?

This sounds like @FilthyGorilla domain. He’s the speedrun champ here.

I don’t ev n understand what clayfarming is. I can barely find enough to craft with before GI let alone be able to put it in the bin. Hopefully They come and explain it to us mere mortals.

This is a good idea but I think it makes the process of the game tedious
I think random luck is also a part of the gane.

Whatever happened to going on a mining trip and taking your hoe with you and digging up all the sand in the mines?

 

[Fire_Fam3]

I need clay to build a silo I think - digging in the mine the best way?

I don't ever need clay

Yes, there is a slightly higher chance to get clay from the mine over elsewhere. It is not a big improvement, so if the mines are not your thing, you can just dig up any area you like. You don't need much for a silo. I usually get two clay just from digging in Robin's front yard. (I always forget and think I need eight, and I don't figure it out until I get there and I am short. But I always get enough just digging right there, so I never remember for the next time ...)

These things work really well if youve got an upgraded hoe. Can hit spots in the mine while you're running around, and it doesn't take that much energy to just scoop up a small patch of sand. I don't do it often, and there's also the chance of rarer drops from digging in the mines as well I believe, I forget what they are though
