Soft clay rocks

Soft clay rocks are found in various locations throughout the world of Gielinor, primarily in the vicinity of the town of Varrock and near the crafting guild. These rocks are unique as they provide players with soft clay, which is an essential material used in various crafting activities such as pottery, which is extensively employed in creating items like urns and pottery items.

Players can identify soft clay rocks by their distinct appearance; they are slightly darker and softer-looking than typical-shaped rocks. When you approach a soft clay rock, a prompt will appear that indicates the option to mine it. Unlike regular mining, when players mine a soft clay rock, they receive a lump of soft clay instead of a traditional ore. This quantity can vary, but players typically gain five to fifteen pieces of soft clay from each rock.

To effectively mine soft clay, players should equip a pickaxe. However, unlike other ores, there is no requirement for a specific level of mining skills to extract soft clay from these rocks. This accessibility makes soft clay an appealing resource for everyone, including beginners just starting on their crafting journey.

Once mined, the soft clay can be used in conjunction with a potter’s wheel to create various pottery items. Additionally, soft clay can be used with a kiln to produce clay items like bowls or urns, which can be essential for training the Crafting skill. Players also use soft clay in quests and to fulfill various crafting requirements in the game.

Soft clay rocks respawn rather quickly after being mined, allowing players to continually gather this resource without long wait times. Be aware, however, that other players may also be mining these rocks, so competition might occasionally arise.

Common locations for soft clay rocks include:

• Varrock South-East Mine: This area has a few soft clay rocks easily accessible through the east gate of Varrock.
• Crafting Guild: Once players reach level 40 Crafting, they can enter the Crafting Guild, where multiple soft clay rocks are found.
• Rimmington: On the western coast of Gielinor, there are also soft clay rocks located near the Rimmington area.

In conclusion, soft clay rocks present an excellent opportunity for players to gather resources essential for their crafting pursuits. The availability and utility of soft clay make it a staple resource for many players looking to develop their skills within Old School RuneScape.
