Okay, so you want to stack up millions of coins in Roblox DIG, without boosts, without Robux, and without getting stuck farming less than 100k at a time. Trust me, I’ve been there. Starting off broke, missing shovel upgrades, and painfully walking back to sell after every full bag. But after a lot (and I mean a lot) of grinding, I managed to buy the 250k Prismatic Shovel, completely free-to-play. This guide is the exact blueprint I followed. These are the tools, charms, routes, enchants, and sneaky tricks that turned my less than 100k coin runs into 150k+ hauls, all without spending a cent.
Best Methods to Farm Money (Easiest Way To Make Millions)
Let’s get one thing straight: just digging randomly won’t get you rich. If you want those big coin stacks, you need to dig smart. Here’s what really makes coins in DIG:
- Charm synergy
- Modifier stacking (Plasm, Tasty, Celestial)
- Farming in the right zones
- Timing weather events
- Appraising smart
Every dig has coin potential, but the way you dig and where you dig makes all the difference.
Let’s break it all down:
Start with the Right Shovel
Shortcake Shovel – Best Early Game Tool
This thing is a literal money printer.
- 25% chance to apply Tasty = 2x sell value
- Cheap and perfect for early-game money farming
- Grab this ASAP. It’ll carry you to 30k+ in no time.
The Shortcake Shovel is a Stage 3 upgrade you can grab from Tom’s Bakery for $45,000, but you’ll need to complete 5 of his bakery quests first. Totally worth it, though. This thing prints money thanks to its passive (Tasty = 2x sell value), and it’s one of the best bang-for-your-buck shovels before going full Prismatic. Plus, those quests are pretty easy if you’re already farming around Foxtown or Rooftop.
Quick Advice: Shortcake to Prismatic is All You Need (F2P Route)
Alright, real talk, skip the Spore Spade. Go straight from Shortcake to Prismatic. Trust me on this one. I used the Shortcake Shovel and hit 250k for Prismatic in just one day, fully free-to-play.
You’re only missing 1 point in Control and Haste compared to Spore, and the Tasty modifier makes your items sell for double. That’s where the real money’s at.
Tip: The exact farming location doesn’t matter as much as people think. The real trick? Enjoy the game, explore everything and do the quests (seriously, they unlock charms, areas, and passive buffs faster than grinding alone).
Charms = Your Passive Money Makers
Charms might seem like small bonuses, but they’re literally the reason you go from 10k per run to 50k+. They add modifiers, boost value, and multiply your coin haul with zero extra effort.
These three alone are enough to make most of your inventory sell for 2x–3x normal value when stacked right. If you’re tight on slots, Plasm + Blueshroom is the F2P king combo.
While you’re at it, check out my full Charm Progression Guide for Roblox DIG, I break down exactly which charms are worth running, how to get the best value out of them, and which ones are just a total waste of a slot. If you wanna squeeze every coin from your digs, that guide’s a must-read.
Plasm Charm (Ectoplasm Sleeve)
- Rooftop Woodlands → Graveyard → Talk to Sam Kobe
- Dig up 3 Legendary Ghosts (RNG, takes ~1 hour)
- Effect: 20% chance for items to turn into Plasm, which increases their sell value.
Honestly, this charm alone gave me a fat coin boost early on. Anything that passively upgrades your loot is worth equipping.
Blueshroom Cap
- Azure Hollow (above Fernhill Forest)
- Complete the “Blueshroom Outfitting” quest
- Effect: 25% chance to add the Blurple modifier = more value per dig
If you’re already in Cinder Cavern, you might as well grab this. It stacks with shiny + plasm for ridiculous value boosts.
Cauldron Hat
- Traveling Merchant – costs $45,000
- Merchant only appears for 10 minutes, then vanishes for another 10. Keep your eyes peeled for pop-ups.
- Effect: Boosts all Strength-based enchants and charms by 20%
This charm is cracked for late-game. Once you’re stacking Sparkled or digging with strength-boosted shovels, this just sends your speed and profits flying.
Charm Chisel Stats (Your Coin Multiplier)
Spend 25k on a Charm Chisel at the Appraiser and reroll charm stats until you get:
- Endurance – More consistent streaks
- Haste – Faster digs = faster coins
- Strength – More digging power
- Luck – Optional for shiny/event farming
Even one well-rolled charm setup can triple your coin income.
Best Farming Spots to Get Rich
Here’s what I recommend based on how I leveled and stacked coins early:
- Level 1–15: Stick to the Shores. Solid XP and easy digging while you build streaks.
- Level 15+: Move to the Rooftop Graveyard in Woodlands. The Legendary ghosts here are cracked, tons of XP and they drop shiny + valuable loot.
After that, you can start heading into the better farming spots where the real money starts rolling in:
Snowy Mountaintop
- Unlocked early, just follow the path up (just very far)
- Legendaries drop fast (I got 3 in under 3 minutes)
- The polar bear loot (Polar Bear Abundance) up there is ridiculous. Easy Legendaries and way more value than early zones. It’s also peaceful to farm up there.
- Perfect midgame farming spot
Verdant Veil (Pig Pen in the Barn)
- This is where I made 90k to 250k.
- Combine with Luck or Haste totem for coin spikes
- Top-tier farming area on Island 1
- Pigs, goats, cows = Legendary loot central
- Use your detector and dig nonstop
Only downside? Gets crowded. If there’s too many players, hop servers.
Copper Mesa (Ferry Zone)
- Once you fill out 38% of your journal, go to Cinder Shores, pay 3,000 for a ferry ticket, and head to Copper Mesa.
- Dig near the Golden Nugget zone (Farm gold coins for the secret Buddha shrine) or Dino Spine (Great for Divines and Legendaries)
- Use your Item Detector and drop a Celestial Totem
- Bonus: Dig 125 items here = 55 free magnet crates from the NPC in the area
Tools & Enchants That Help You Print Coins
- Item Detector (10k; Rocky’s Shovel Store in Fox Town): Absolute must-buy. Shows rare dig spots = better loot = more coins.
- Magnets: Passive boosts that help with Rarity (Scarce, Transparent) and Value (Celestial, Plasm)
- Equip based on the area you’re farming.
- Top Enchantments to Use: Enchant your strongest shovel and prepare for juicy streaks.
- Sparkled – Boosts shiny chance
- Altered – Adds a random modifier
- Lucky – More rare drops
- Vision Goggles – 9k; Charm Shop in Fox Town(Seriously Try Them): They let you see where the next bar will appear in Divine digging, which is a game-changer. If the bar keeps spawning on one side and your rod is mid or slow? Yeah, you’re not getting that Divine.
- But with goggles? You just click early, prep the timing, and clear the bar instantly. It saves so much time and helps you nail Divine digs.
What NOT to Waste Coins On
- Tenacity Bracelet: It sounds nice, prevents streak breaks, but once you have decent stats and speed, it becomes useless. Use value-boosting charms instead.
- Backpack Full = Robux Trap: That slow walk when your bag is full? Yeah, total bait. Instead, grab an Emergency Flare (30k) to teleport to Foxtown and sell fast. Works every minute, saves you hundreds of coins in wasted time.
Bonus Coin Tricks (That Most Players Miss)
- Journal Rewards: Click new items in your journal, many give 100 to 1,000 coins just for logging them.
- Weather Events: Farm during these and your coin gains skyrocket.
- Meteor Shower = 2x Luck
- Sky Wind = 2x Dig Speed
- Genie in the Cavern: Feed him gold and he hands out rare items. Underrated coin trick if you’ve got extra ores.
Wrap-Up: My Free-to-Play Road to 250k+ Coins
So yeah, I didn’t spend Robux, didn’t buy boosts, and still reached the Prismatic Shovel with change to spare. If I can crawl from Shortcake to Prismatic with nothing but charm synergy and a dream, so can you.
Here’s what to remember:
- Start with Shortcake
- Stack Plasm, Tasty, and Blurple modifiers
- Farm smart in Verdant Veil, Fossil Spine, or Copper Mesa
- Reroll your charm stats and enchant wisely
- Use Flare, skip bad charms, and watch weather boosts
Up next, if you’re trying to squeeze even more coins out of every dig, you’ll want to start farming enchantment tomes. They’re key to unlocking the best shovel upgrades and boosting your profits with every swing.
