To get a 100 ponzes bucket you need a weight of 45-50

To get a 150 ponzes bucket you need a weight of 95-100

To get a 200 ponzes bucket you need a weight of 145-150

To get a 250 ponzes bucket you need a weight of 195-200 (I think but have only managed to get a bucket for 200 ponzes)

Every item has a different weight so here is a list of their weights. You simply calculate what you find and stop if you get in range for a new bucket. You can also lose items if you overfill your bucket, so this is an art of luck.

If you have the ffxi gil let+1 and Trunks+1 you will have an edge because it has these two stats.

Trunks+1 = Improves clamming result.

Gillet + 1 = Reduces clamming �incidents�

The way to obtain +1 beach cloth is to do the quest for them in another city then the one you gained your normal trunks + gillet.

That�s my guide, you all have fun clamming. Below here you can find the list of items, it is not complete but feel free to add more in forum if you find it.
