I&#8217;ve gotten around 50-60 clay chunks for clearing out one deposit, which isn&#8217;t much when you&#8217;re making potions for multiple people. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"make-a-pickaxe-to-harvest-clay\">Make a pickaxe to harvest clay<\/h3>\n<p>The type of pickaxe doesn&#8217;t matter, but you will need one for gathering clay. I stuck with my boring ol&#8217; Stone Pickaxe for a while before making the first copper tool upgrade, and it served me just fine for harvesting my first several batches of clay. <\/p>\n<p>For quick reference, here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need at the workbench to make a pickaxe: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Recipe:<\/strong> Stone Pickaxe &#8211; (3) Stone, (3) Wood<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recipe: <\/strong>Copper Pickaxe &#8211; (1) Bronze Ingot, (5) Wood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As far as I can tell, upgrading your tools doesn&#8217;t impact yield (but does make the process faster), so I suggest setting your base up near a clay deposit or two and regularly stopping by when it respawns. Nodes seem to refresh at random intervals, but I can at least confirm they respawn every few in-game days, so you aren&#8217;t out of luck after stripping one source clean. Just wait. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s only one chunk of clay per clay bottle, but you don&#8217;t get those bottles back\u2014pirates aren&#8217;t into recycling, I guess\u2014and resources quickly run dry when you&#8217;re taking a beating from wild boars. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/windrose-clay\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clay is your starting point for several Windrose crafts, and you&#8217;ll need plenty of it if you want to start making clay bottles for potions.
