So, you’re digging the new Roblox Dig It, huh? Well, you’re in the right place—where digging up treasure is serious business, but we keep the vibes light and fun! Whether you’re just starting out with a basic shovel or already hustling for legendary loot, this guide has your back. I’ll walk you through everything—from picking the best shovels and bags to navigating maps, events, and best grinding spots. Trust me, I’ve spent countless hours buried in this game (literally), so consider this your treasure map to success. Now grab your shovel, dust off your boots, and let’s start digging.

Complete Beginner and Advanced Guide (Best Shovels & More)

You start on the Nookville island with Benson, a chatty rat chilling on a wooden bench. He’ll give you a few beginner tasks to get you going:

  • Dig up a treasure (0/1)
  • Sell the treasure to Roderick (0/1)
  • Talk to Benson (0/1)

How to Dig and Sell Items

  1. Equip your shovel (Slot 1) and dig anywhere on the island.
  2. Balance the shovel cursor in the green bar—hold to move right, release to move left.
  3. Keep it balanced until you dig up treasure.

Once you have treasure, head to Roderick, the other rat running the wooden stall. Sell your items by selecting “I’d like to sell my inventory.” (Your starting backpack only holds 3 items—choose wisely!)

Pro Tip: Double-click to pin special items to save them from accidentally being sold. It’s a lifesaver when you score mythics or legendaries!

Shovels – The Real MVPs of the Game!

Your shovel defines your success in Roblox Dig It. Here’s the lowdown:

Beginner Shovels

  • Basic Shovel – It’s free, and that’s about it. Upgrade ASAP.
  • Rookie Shovel – Your first major upgrade. Worth grinding for better luck and efficiency.
  • Skip the Trusty Shovel – Costs $750 but isn’t worth it. Save up for the Toy Shovel instead.

Mid-Game Shovels

  • Superior Shovel – Essential for Beginner Island (Noville). Hit Level 15 and then head to Pirates Bay.
  • Lunar Shovel – Unlock it at Level 37 during Lunar Events. A must-have for stats and grind speed.

End-Game Shovels

  • Ionizing Shovel – The king of shovels. Requires Level 50 and $135,000 during the UFO Event. Perfect for mythics and legendaries.

Pro Tip: Enchant your best shovel! Visit Mole Island near Nookville and offer a mole for enchanting bonuses:

  • Precise – Boosts precision.
  • Lucky – Boosts loot luck.
  • Durable – Increases max weight.

Maps – Best Grinding Zones

Grinding smart saves time. Here’s where you should dig:

  • Noville (Starter Zone) – Stay until Level 15.
  • Pirates Bay – Best for farming legendaries and mythics. Use an Industrial Shovel or better.
  • Badlands – Low legendary rates. Skip it unless you’re desperate.
  • Permafrost – Tough digging, but great for specific events.
  • Lunar Island – XP bottles galore during Lunar Events.

Pro Tip: Lunar Events = XP heaven. If there’s no Lunar Event, stick to Pirates Bay for consistent loot.
