Where To Find Clay In Romestead

Clay is found as an orange pool in random locations in the world. The material is not limited to one biome, since players are more likely to stumble upon a clay pool than apple trees while exploring.

If players have walked around for a while and found nothing, you might have missed it. Open the map and look for any orange shape, as it’s the indicator of a clay pool location.

Make sure to search thoroughly as the clay pools can sometimes be hidden behind a big tree or rock.

Clay pools are usually surrounded by a couple of barrels and a wagon. To extract clay from the pool as a material and use it in building or crafting, grab a barrel and approach the pool to fill it up. Once you have used it, you will receive the empty barrel again for another use. However, if a construct requires more barrels than you own, you need to craft the missing ones to be able to build.
