Where to find clay in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Clay description and location in Disney Dreamlight Valley
You can find clay in three different locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Clay is available to find in the following three regions in Disney Dreamlight Valley:

  • Glade of Trust
  • Sunlit Plateau
  • Forgotten Lands

It’s worth opting for the Glade of Trust if you don’t have any other regions unlocked, as that is the cheapest one to get to, costing 5,000 Dreamlight to unlock.

If you want to get to Sunlit Plateau, you’ll need to unlock the Forgotten Lands first.

How to get clay in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Once you’ve unlocked your chosen location, all you will need to do is grab your Royal Shovel and dig into the ground. You don’t need to dig anywhere special, the clay is not found in the sparkling mounds.

It’s not the only resource you can get from digging, so don’t expect clay to appear on the first try. However, it will appear regularly, so it’s not as elusive as Dreamlight Shards or Hardwood.

How to quickly farm clay in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There’s not really a trick to guarantee a multitude of clay in one go, but there are a few ways you can grab some quickly and easily.

Perhaps the most effective way to farm clay in Disney Dreamlight Valley is to head over to the Glade of Trust or the Sunlit Plateau with some high-energy meals or a stack of lemons. Simply grab your shovel and dig until you run out of energy, then eat and repeat.

Alternatively, if you want to farm clay without digging, it does occasionally spawn on the surface of the Sunlit Plateau. However, this is not the quickest way to farm clay in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
