Clay rocks are Mining rocks that can be mined at level 1 Mining to produce 1 clay and 5 Mining experience. When a bracelet of clay is equipped, the rocks produce soft clay instead. Clay can be used with water to make soft clay, which is in turn used to train Crafting and Construction, or to make magic tablets.

Clay is not recommended to train Mining, as copper and tin rocks give more experience. However, clay is sometimes used as a money making method for free-to-play players, yielding 75 each rock, or 2,100 per inventory, with each inventory taking roughly one minute to fill.

Pre-roll

The mining gem drop table has a 1/256 chance to roll on every mining attempt;[1] if the player is wearing a charged amulet of glory, amulet of glory (t), or amulet of eternal glory, the probability increases to 1/64.2.[2][3] If the table successfully rolls, the player may receive an uncut gem or nothing, and in either case can not receive an ore.[4] This neither depletes the rock nor grants Mining experience. The rates shown are for every mining attempt.
