Trivia[]

  • Clay is the fastest Link to Spawning respawning rock as it respawns in just one Link to RuneScape clock game tick.
  • Since clay is rarely fought over, beginners will find it an easy way to get a small start on Skill icon of Mining, File:Mining icon Mining. However, it is very inefficient and anyone who wish to train Mining should move on to Item image of %7B%7B%3ACopper+ore%7D%7D, File:Copper ore copper, Link to tin tin, or Link to iron iron.
  • The closest mining spot to Link to bank bank for clay in Link to Free-to-play F2P is at Link to South-west Varrock mine West Varrock Mine, except for the Link to Crafting Guild Crafting Guild (however, it does require a Skill icon of Crafting, File:Crafting icon Crafting level of 40).
  • Players can get 200M Link to experience experience by mining exactly 40,000,000 clay.
  • Link to Mining training Training Mining with clay from level 1 to 99 would require a total of 2,606,887 pieces of clay be mined, which would turn a profit of 344,109,084 if sold at 132 each. It takes about 1 minute to mine 28 clay using a Item image of %7B%7B%3ARune+pickaxe%7D%7D, File:Rune pickaxe Rune pickaxe and about 1 minute to Link to bank bank and return, so this means about 840 clay per hour for a total of 3,104 hours of work.
