In Dig It, shovels are the most important digging and collection tool. Your adventure will begin with the Basic Shovel, which is designed for tutorial tasks. As you advance, upgrading your shovel becomes a necessity to increase digging efficiency, loot collection, and precision. You can upgrade shovels from NPCs from different locations and islands; some shovels require certain levels or are tied to special events. Except for this, rare shovels occasionally appear in the case of Benson from Nookville. So exploration as well as time need to come into play while playing the game.
How to Get All Shovels
When you start Dig It, you will begin with the Basic Shovel, which is only suitable for completing the tutorial. After that, you will want to upgrade to better tools by exploring different islands and visiting NPCs that sell shovels. Keep in mind that some shovels have level requirements in addition to their cost, for instance, the Seer Shovel requires you to be level 25. You can also visit Benson in the Nookville location, where his stock occasionally includes random tools, even special event ones.
