This is a guide to collecting clay, a DIY material in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch). Clay can be found in rocks and is used in crafting. To learn how to get clay and how to use clay on DIY recipes, read on!
List of Contents
The best way to get Clay is by hitting rocks on the islands you visit on Mystery Island Tours. Remember to bring axes or shovels to hit the rocks with.
The islands you go to on Mystery Tours will always have 3 rocks where you can get materials. Mystery Tour islands will give you fresh rocks every time you go, so you can get as many materials as you want in a day!
If you dig two holes behind you when you gather the various stones from rocks, you can avoid being bounced back too far, allowing you to hit the rock repeatedly to yield the maximum number of materials.
The next best way to get Clay is by hitting the stones in your own island with an axe or shovel.
You can find a variety of materials from hitting rocks, such as Clay, Stone and Gold Nuggets, but all of them have a random chance of dropping.
Clay is used as a DIY crafting item to create the item(s) shown above.
