Shovel That Can Instantly Dig in Roblox Dig Guide & How to Get!

In Roblox Dig, players are constantly looking for ways to increase their digging power, find shinier loot, and dominate boss fights. Among all the tools available, one shovel stands out for its sheer digging strength — the Solstice Shovel. This isn’t just a rare item; it’s essential for progressing toward the best gear in the game, including the legendary Starfire Shovel. This guide will break down exactly how to get the Solstice Shovel, what makes it so powerful, and what you need to prepare before unlocking it.

What Is the Solstice Shovel?

The Solstice Shovel is a high-strength digging tool that deals massive digging power, allowing you to two-shot (and sometimes even one-shot) tough dig sites when paired with strength charms and buffs. It comes with added shiny item bonus and venomous chances, making it a great utility shovel as well. Key Stats:

• +26 Strength
• +1 Shiny Chance
• +10% Chance at Venomous

While not the fastest or luckiest shovel in the game, its raw strength makes it essential for specific quests, particularly when working toward the Starfire Shovel, one of the best items in Dig.

How to Unlock the Solstice Shovel

Getting this shovel isn’t as simple as buying it from a merchant — it requires grinding, boss farming, and specific conditions to be met.

Step 1: Reach Level 50

Before you can even attempt the quest to get Starfire (which requires the Solstice Shovel), you need to be at least Level 50. Most players reach this after 15–20 hours of gameplay, depending on efficiency.

Step 2: Complete Key Quest Requirements

To begin the journey toward Starfire (and gain access to the Solstice Shovel), here’s what you need to have completed:

• Reach Level 50
• Defeat 10 Bosses
• Collect 30 Shiny Items
• Accumulate 1,000 Digs
• Own 3 Basilisks

The Basilisks drop is the biggest bottleneck here. You’ll need to defeat this Cinder Island boss multiple times until you collect three of them — and with only a 30% drop rate, it may take dozens of runs.

Step 3: Get to Cinder Island

Cinder Island is only accessible once you’ve completed 50% of the journals from the main islands. You also need:

• 3,000 Cash for a ferry ticket
• At least 50% journal completion on every major area (excluding Copper Mesa, Alona Jungle, and the third hidden area)

Once that’s done, take the ferry and begin your adventure in Cinder Island.

Buying the Solstice Shovel

To obtain the Solstice Shovel:

1. Head to Cinder Caverns, located between Fox Town and Rooftop Woodlands.
2. Locate the elevator entrance and pay 1,000 cash to access the lower level.
3. Navigate the cave system (watch for multiple forks in the road).
4. Find the Solstice Shrine hidden behind a final right turn after several splits.
5. Place 3 Basilisks on the shrine pedestals.
6. You’ll unlock the ability to purchase the shovel for 190,000 cash.

You’ll also receive the Solar Flare achievement and unlock the Sunny title.

Why the Solstice Shovel Is So Good

Despite not having high luck or haste like other popular shovels, the Solstice Shovel shines with its powerful strength stat. With the right gear and buffs — especially during the Blue Moon event, which doubles all strength — you can literally one-shot dig nodes. Combine it with:

• Cauldron Hat (S Strength, SS Haste)
• Tenacity Braces (survivability)
• Energy Apparatus (double strength boost)

This setup makes digging incredibly efficient, especially when farming mythicals or progressing through journals.

How It Compares to Other Shovels

While it doesn’t replace shovels like the Prismatic, which excels in luck and utility, the Solstice is a combat dig tool. It’s ideal when you’re doing fast runs, boss fights, or progressing specific quests. Other notable shovel comparisons:

• Prismatic Shovel: 20 Luck, Iridescent Mutation Bonus
• Jam Shovel: Now buffed again, great all-around with +2 Haste and +3 Strength when paired with a jar of jam
• Frigid Shovel: Recently buffed, useful for quick icy digs

The Solstice Shovel isn’t just an overpowered tool — it’s a milestone in your Dig journey. If you’re aiming to unlock the Starfire Shovel, or just want to blast through tough terrain without wasting time, this is a shovel worth grinding for. Remember, you’ll need patience for the basilisk drops and a bit of cash saving, but the payoff is huge — especially when events like Blue Moon roll around. If you’re already deep into the questline, this shovel might be your next big upgrade. And once you get it, don’t forget to show off that Sunny title — you’ve earned it.
