Money making guide/Humidifying clay

Soft clay is often used by players training Crafting who wish to save the effort associated with wetting the clay themselves, putting soft clay in high demand. One can cast Humidify on an inventory of clay in the vicinity of a bank to wet high amounts of it quickly, but the process is highly click-intensive.

Use astral runes and equip a steam battlestaff to maximise profit and efficiency. Steam runes or water and fire runes can be used instead, but this will reduce earning rates.

To cast as effectively as possible, withdraw all astral runes from the bank and have one soft clay and the stack of normal clay in the bank. Fill the bank with bank fillers and move the normal clay next to deposit inventory button, this will allow for quicker banking overall. Also set the F-key hotkeys for inventory and spellbook to F1 and F2 respectively, this will help with efficiency. Don't forget to tick the option "Esc closes current interface" in the Keybinding menu.

Step 1: Withdraw 27 clay from the bank and press ESC.
Step 2: Cast Humidify.
Step 3: Quickly press F1 to see when the inventory is turned into soft clay.
Step 4: Simultaneously press F2 and the bank at the same time.
Step 5: Deposit inventory and withdraw another 27 clay.
Step 6: Repeat.

Alternate Method

Step 1: Withdraw 27 clay from the bank and press ESC.
Step 2: Cast Humidify.
Step 3: Spam-click bank. With 'XP drops' enabled, click the bank as soon as the magic XP number goes off the top of the screen to open quicker.
Step 4: Deposit inventory and withdraw another 27 clay.
Step 5: Repeat.

When playing at maximum efficiency, up to 815 spells can be cast per hour, for 22,005 soft clay.
