If you’re just starting in Dig Roblox and want to get rich fast, this guide breaks down everything you need to know. From the best shovel upgrades to the top money-making methods and useful tips, you’ll be digging like a pro in no time.

Understanding Shovel Stats and Progression

Before buying shovels, it’s important to know what each stat means:

• Endurance (not shown on shovels): Gives you more time to collect your item by slowing down the heart timer.
• Haste: Reduces cooldowns for non-strong or misted hits, letting you dig faster.
• Control: Makes the dig bar larger, so it’s easier to land hits.
• Strength: Increases damage per hit, helping break tougher blocks.
• Boss Damage: Increases damage dealt to bosses.

Best Shovels to Buy and When

1. Rock Shovel

• Location: Spawn area
• Price: 800 coins
• Why Buy It? Best value early-game shovel with solid stats, making it your first must-have shovel.

2. Ruby Shovel

• Location: Cinder Shores, in a merchant’s hut
• Price: 6,500 coins
• Why Buy It? Big upgrade from the Rock Shovel. After buying this, you can access the best money-making spot in the game.

3. Jam Shovel

• Location: Vdant Veil
• Price: Not specified, but a good mid-tier upgrade
• Why Buy It? Increases your chances of finding legendary items and has a passive that boosts your haste, especially when paired with the Jam Charm.

4. Frigid Shovel

• Location: Mount Cinder, inside a cave
• Price: 75,000 coins
• Why Buy It? Great for late early-game to endgame progression. While its control and haste are lower, it has much better luck and strength. Its passive gives a 20% chance to make items “frigid,” tripling their value. This means much more money per item than earlier shovels.

Pro tip: If you get a shovel from defeating a boss and it has similar stats to these, definitely use it—it can save you thousands of coins.

Best Money-Making Methods for Beginners

• Defeat Bosses and Complete Quests:
  Early on, bosses drop valuable items, and quests offer great rewards.

• Why Buy an ATV Early:
  This quest requires travel, and having an ATV saves time. It’s better to buy an ATV before upgrading shovels past the Rock Shovel.

Key Quests to Focus On:

• Lighthouse Quest: Talk to the woman on the cliff to defeat one boss and earn a legendary katana charm that greatly improves control.
• Combat Guild Quest: Talk to Cool Blood inside a hut; you’ll need to defeat King Crab, Candlelight Phantom, and three other bosses. Reward: 6,000 coins.
• Penguin’s Pizza Delivery Quest: Found at Penguin’s Pizza Place on the map. Just deliver a pizza and get 3,000 coins without digging.

The Best Money Spot in the Game

Follow your car from spawn, take a left after passing the village at Mount Cinder, and look for a red marker in the snow. Next to it is the Pine Tree Abundance—the best spot for making money, especially if you don’t have an item detector. Stay within the marked area for optimal farming.

Tips and Tricks

• Enchanting:
  Head to the cave near Mount Cinder to find the enchantment area. Follow the blue mushrooms inside the cave to get there. However, don’t enchant shovels until you have at least the Jam Shovel, or it might be a waste.
• Buy Totems:
  Totems can boost stats like luck (+15), XP gain (+50%), and boss damage (+25%). They’re affordable and worth picking up early.
• Explore the World:
  The game has many hidden locations and NPCs. Exploring can lead to discovering quests, rare items, and other bonuses you might miss otherwise.

This guide covers the essentials to get you started fast and efficient in Dig Roblox. Focus on upgrading the right shovels, complete key quests, farm at the best spots, and make use of enchanting and totems when ready. Most importantly, take your time to explore—the game has a lot to offer beyond just digging. Happy digging!
