Clam: location, bait and collection notes

Find Clams as Lighthouse ground pickups, understand why no rod is required, and keep their unknown sale value separate from the crab fishing budget.

Entity facts retain the guide’s Patch 1.0.10 snapshot (2026-08-28); the newly written notes are not a current-build playtest. Fixed values are raw bases, not guaranteed sale offers.

Start with a pickup

The Clam entry belongs to the Lighthouse ground-pickup group. Look around the shore before spending money on a fishing setup: the record lists neither a rod nor an attached bait for this creature.

This makes Clams a useful first collection check while you are still learning where the shops and quest characters are. Fishing longer with the Crab Fishing Rod is a different activity and does not substitute for checking the ground.

Do not budget an invented price

The reviewed table does not establish a fixed Clam base value. Check the offer shown in your own game before treating a handful of Clams as enough money for a purchase.

For a numerical comparison at the same island, Brown Crab has a recorded base of 3 coins and Shrimp 5. Those numbers belong to rod catches; they should not be assigned to Clams just because all three appear near the start.
