Reeds vary in how long they'll last between brands. In any case, buy yourself a good reed case (or holder) that keeps the reeds flat while not in use. If you live in a very dry or very humid area, get a case that has some form of humidity control.
Also, keep a good number of reed in use by using a different one every day and cycling them. You'll get better life out of each and if one gets damaged you wont't have to go a day or two breaking a new one in just when you really need a good one (which is so often the case!). And by keeping a number of reeds cycling like this you'll learn to discern which ones are really good and which are mediocre.

Why won't my new clarinet reeds work?
There may be a couple of reasons. The reeds may be either too thin or too thick for you to play with. Or, it's common to find "bad reeds" in a new box of reeds, yes I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Even when the box of reeds is the same thickness there are little variations in the cut that can make one reed play better than another. It's customary for clarinet players to either throw away some of the "new reeds", fix them or simply use them only to study.
How do you do Harmony's New Clarinet quest on horseisle?
Start by talking to Harmony. She will ask you to make her a new clarinet. To make it, go and see Xamba on Jungle Isle. He will need molds for the keys and 5 logs of ebony wood, but he tells you that he can make the molds and so you just need to get him the wood. When you have the logs, return to him and he will tell you to go and see Sandy Flint, the rock shop owner in Appleton to take the molds and ask him for reeds and keys. Go to Sandy, he will tell you to get him 25 silver ore to fill in the keys. When you have the ores, bring them back to him and he will then tell you to go and see Barrett on Tail Isle for the reeds. Barrett will give you a box of reeds for 1k. Then, when your done talking to Barrett, travel back to Sandy Flint. He will give you the molds and the bag of clarinet keys to take back to Xamba. When you get back to Xamba, he will make the clarinet and give it to you. Then, take it back to Harmony.
What is a woodwind musical instrument?
The term "woodwind" comes from the original make of all woodwind instruments. They all traditionally require the use of one or more vibrating wooden reeds to make their sound. While the flute is no longer a wooden instrument, it is still included amidst woodwinds as it has evolved from one. Other woodwinds are all still reed instruments; they require contact with a vibrating reed to make a sound. Examples of common woodwind instruments include the clarinet, the oboe, the bassoon, the flute, and the saxophone.
Why is Strength 3 synthetic reed for clarinet too hard to play on?
Everyone has their own preferred strength of reeds. If you are used to 2.5 strength reeds, 3 may give you sore lips, and 3.5 might even make you faint. It also depends on what brand of synthetic reed you use. For example, the Bari Synthetic Reeds are said to be very hard to play on. While Legere Synthetic Reeds tend to be softer and easier to play on(also quite expensive). If you are used to playing softer reeds, it will take 1-3 weeks of practising to get used to it.

Why cant they make a clarinet that works without a reed?
Something has to to start the column of air vibrating, and it's the reed that does that. Some other mechanism might be used but it probably wouldn't sound much like a clarinet. I know that reeds are a pain for inexperienced players, but for those of us who have been playing for a long time, it's second nature. I'm always breaking in new reeds, and it's work, but it's routine.
