Clamming

Clamming is a mini-game form of gathering limited exclusively to Purgonorgo Isle, where players may procure certain types of shells, rocks, and mollusks.

Git Clammin'

• Speak with Toh Zonikki in Bibiki Bay - Purgonorgo Isle (H-7) to get started.
• Select "I was born to clam!" to receive the temporary key item Clamming Kit for 500 gil.
• Your bucket will initally only hold 50pz but its capacity may be increased (see below).
• Various "Clamming Point" targets are found all over the island. Clicking on one will place a random item into your bucket.
  • Having an item in your bucket does not mean it is in your inventory.
  • Each "Clamming Point" has its own 16-second cooldown before it can be dug again.
• Each item has a corresponding weight, which does not vary.
• To find the weight of any item, return to Toh Zonikki and select "I've still got a few clams in me" and she will tell you the total weight of your bucket.
• Exceeding your bucket's capacity will cause the bucket to break and all previously obtained items wil be lost.
• When you are finished, speak with Toh Zonikki and select "I'm all clammed out" to receive your items.

Upgrading Your Bucket

If you are able to gather enough items to come within 5pz of your bucket's capacity, return to Toh Zonikki and she will offer to upgrade your bucket by 50pz.

You can repeat this process, upgrading your bucket to a maximum capacity of 200pz.

Once your bucket reaches its maximum of 200pz, a black mandragora (Alraune) may jump in and break through the bottom, spilling all your clams back into the sea.

• This has about a 37% chance on each dig, reduced to ~32% with the "Reduces clamming incidents" gear.

When starting over, either by turning in a bucket of any capacity or after losing all your items, your bucket capacity will be reset to 50pz.

Clamming Equipment

During the Sunbreeze Festival summer event, HQ Swimsuit body and legs equipment available for sale enhance clamming abilities. Each race and gender has their own unique pieces, for example Taru. Maillot +1 and Taru. Trunks +1 for Male Tarutarus.

• Reduces clamming "incidents" lowers the chance an Alraune jumps into your bucket and breaks it from ~37% to ~32% per dig with a 200pz bucket.
• Improves clamming results lowers the Clamming Point cooldown from 16 seconds to 10 seconds.
