Clay


 * This article is about clay as it is mined. For the form of clay used mainly in Crafting, see Soft clay. For the rock that clay comes from, see Clay rock. For the clay used in Stealing Creation, see Sacred clay.

Clay (sometimes called Hard clay to distinguish it from soft clay) is a material that players can obtain with level 1 mining, to gain 5 Mining experience points. Players can mine clay rockst the Crafting Guild, the Dwarven Mine, the Grand Tree Mine, the Fight Arena mining site, Rimmington, Rellekka, south-west Varrock, south of Barbarian Village, and north-east of Draynor Village.

If a player uses water on clay, soft clay is created. As of 15th February 2011, players no longer need a container for the water, meaning soft clay can be made directly at a water source. This is used to make pottery in Crafting, Urns, furniture in Construction and Magic tablets.

If a bracelet of clay is worn while mining, soft clay is mined instead of clay for 28 uses per bracelet.

It is rare to find a gem in a clay rock; about 1 in 350 rocks mined.
