The best way to get spools in Don't Starve Together is by unraveling cosmetic items obtained from daily gifts or gameplay and using the Steam Marketplace to trade skins, especially heirloom ones. This guide shows various methods to efficiently gather spools, including daily logins, playing regularly, and utilizing Clay Points.

Basic Method of Getting Spools

The primary way to get spools is by unraveling cosmetic items. These items are typically obtained through daily gifts or by playing the game. To unravel an item, go to 'Item Collection', select a character, and choose items like legs, feet, hands, or body to unravel. Each item, when unraveled, converts into a certain number of spools.

Speeding Up the Process

To accumulate spools faster, consider creating a game world tailored for easy survival. When hosting a game, adjust the world settings to minimize survival challenges. For example, set the season to only autumn, eliminate night, and remove dangerous elements like killer bees. The goal is to survive longer, get presents, and unravel them for spools.

Utilizing Steam Marketplace

The Steam Marketplace offers another avenue for acquiring spools. Here, you can buy and sell skins. Focus on finding heirloom skins, as they can be unraveled for a higher number of spools. This method requires at least one purchase on Steam to access the marketplace's full features.

Daily Logins and Playing Regularly

Logging in daily rewards you with gifts, often containing rare cosmetics. Additionally, playing the game for an hour or two daily increases your chances of receiving 1-3 gifts. Open these gifts at a science machine and unravel them for spools.

Using Clay Points

Clay Points are a digital currency in Don't Starve Together. Accumulate these points by linking accounts, subscribing to newsletters, or clicking on specific links provided by Klei. You can convert Clay Points to spools or redeem them for specific items.
