One material players will consistently need during their adventure in Disney Dreamlight Valley is Clay, a soft and fine-grained form of soil used in crafting, Friendship Quests, Dreamlight Milestones, and Pixar Fest Duties. Finding Clay in Dreamlight Valley is thankfully fairly straightforward, but does involve some RNG. To get Clay in Dreamlight Valley, players need to be in one of three areas:

Clay Locations

Glade of Trust

Sunlit Plateau

Forgotten Lands

The discovery rate of Clay in these three biomes does not differ, so adventurers do not need to be concerned if they have yet to unlock one or the other. Regardless, players need to travel to one of them (preferably with their favorite Dreamlight Valley villager in tow), equip their Shovels, and begin digging, unearthing the soil in random spots across the area's map. The Sunlit Plateau is one of the best places to find Clay in Dreamlight Valley, since it is quite spacious with few trees, giving players more room to farm without navigating other objects.

Starting at any spot in one of the three aforementioned areas, begin digging up the dirt in an organized layout, much like when starting any nice Disney Dreamlight Valley farm. Having a companion with the Digging Skill will make the process of getting Clay in Dreamlight Valley much more efficient, allowing players to collect multiple Clay stacks at a single node. Continue digging until a wide area has been covered.

When it comes to finding Clay, it doesn't matter whether players have upgraded to the Improved Shovel in Dreamlight Valley or not! A normal shovel will work fine as long as players are in the Glade of Trust, Sunlit Plateau, and Forgotten Lands.

Getting Clay in Dreamlight Valley using the method described above should only take players between 5-10 minutes to complete. If a Villager with the Digging Skill is present, players can potentially increase their Clay yield by a hefty amount, along with leveling up the Villager's Friendship level in the process. However, these dug-up plots of dirt will not simply clear themselves; players must go back and cover every one of the holes they have created to get more Clay for the same area.

Such a tedious process in Disney Dreamlight Valley is a substantial investment of time and Energy and will likely cause boredom among players. Fortunately, YouTube content creator Kuriie has suggested using the exploitative yet helpful method of placing Furniture atop the holes to remove them instantly without effort. Check out that method in the video below:

As described in the video above, to get rid of all the holes made while trying to find Clay in Dreamlight Valley players can simply enter the Furniture/Build Mode menu and place a large piece of Furniture, such as a Bed or Sofa, over the plots of soil. Save before exiting, and then re-enter Build Mode to remove the Furniture. The holes from farming should have disappeared now, leaving players free to re-dig to get even more clay in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
