what to do with clams?

[failsafe]

I cant eat them... Early in the game, so not sure whether stock or sell them ;-P

[lcx]

sell，It doesn't feel useful

[Buffmania]

They're pretty useful late game for crafting and cooking, but you're probably better off selling them early on.

[Seftak]

Never!!! Never sell anything! Throw everything in chests. Make HUGE stockpiles of everything. Become a hoarding dragon sitting on your massive pile of resource which might POTENTIALY be useful someday...

[failsafe]

Well... hoarding sounds okay, though at this point I still struggle with food since most of the things I can eat is not really efficient ;-P. Not to mention that backpack is pricey a bit... so I guess I might need to sell something ;-D

[ChrillBill]

Yes, hoarding is the new... Something. And a farm without a chest full of clams wouldn't be a real farm. Grandpa is watching, and he likes... You guessed it - CLAMS!

[failsafe]

So it is all about clams... I knew it! I guess I will skip love thing and focus on finding more clams, so that I will become a clam tycoon ;-D

If you can get the wood to repair the bridge at the beach then you should have access to a ready supply of coral and urchins. That can help with early game income - especially if you're not very good with the fishing minigame yet.

Good luck, and have fun!

Well, I would say clams and Starfruit Wine! Having an entire basement full of starfruit wine is how it is supposed to be... But you are on the right track, gramps will be proud!

This guy is joking but it's not entirely wrong advice - unless you have a means of easily replacing stuff or producing it yourself, you generally want to keep a couple copies of whatever it is, for the community center (prior to being able to check with the inventory menu button at least), for crafting recipes you may not have yet, for fish pond quests, etc. It actually makes things run more smoothly than just getting a couple of coins for selling it.

Yup. I was not exactly joking. If you find something you don't know what to do with YET, better keep it around until you can confirm it is either useless or not needed. Better take a couple more days to get that gold than regret 2 years in selling that prismatic shard...

I always stick no-star clams in my crafting mats chest next to the workbench. You can't craft with them early game, but they don't sell for enough to justify the annoyance of not having them when you need them. I do sell the starred ones.

Once you've got 5 or so you can start just selling them all until the point where you're using them, then you can see how fast you churn through them.

Good luck making sashimi out of clam shells... You are thinking about snails and periwinkles.
