Enchanting your shovel in Dig can significantly amplify its power, granting higher stats, improved mutation chances, and unlockable special effects. In our comprehensive guide, you’ll learn how to enchant your tools effectively, what necessary items you’ll need, and discover the full array of enchantments available within the game.
What You Need to Enchant Shovels
To enchant shovels in Dig, the key item you need is the Enchantment Tome. You can get the Enchantment Tome through two primary methods:
- By digging up loot with various items.
- Purchasing Tomes from the Dark Wizard.
Finding an Enchantment Tome while digging is a matter of persistence, as players have a roughly 1 in 250 chance of unearthing one alongside other items. To enhance your digging efficiency, consider using the Magnet Shovel to increase loot chances or the Abundant enchant.
Alternatively, you can purchase an Enchantment Tome for $15,000 (approximately €14,000) from the Dark Wizard located at the Odd Tower in Rooftop Woodlands (coordinates: 4401, 226, -628). To access him, find the tree with a wooden door, and knock during the Summer at night. Note that you need to be at least level 30 to use this method, making it less suitable for beginners. Also, keep an eye on special weather or admin events when playing Dig.
Where to Enchant Shovel in Dig
To enchant your shovel, travel to the Enchantment pedestal located in Azure Hollow (coordinates: 4141, -673, 2548).
To find this enchanting area, head to Cinder Cavern and pay $1000 (about €940) at the elevator. Once on Layer One, navigate straight through the maze until you spot blue mushrooms appearing along the path. Following these mushrooms will lead you right to Azure Hollow. For your convenience, below is a video showcasing the entire Azure Hollow maze.
How to Enchant Shovel in Dig
Unlike some other games, you can enchant shovels in Dig at any time of day, whether during daylight or nighttime.
Follow these simple steps to enchant your shovel:
- Walk over to the enchant pedestal with your shovel already equipped.
- Open your backpack and locate the Enchantment Tome.
- Equip the tome in your hand and hold the E button to enchant your shovel.
An exciting feature of the enchantment process in Dig is that each enchant gives you a blessing buff providing +0.5 Luck for 10 minutes.
