Unlocking rare charms in Dig can be a real challenge, but some can be earned more easily through engaging quests. One standout is the Ghostbuster quest, where your goal is to dig up specific items to earn an incredible mythical charm—the Ectoplasm Sleeve. While it might seem daunting, especially for beginners due to the need for a luck-enhanced shovel, following this guide will help you successfully complete the quest.
How to Start the Ghostbuster Quest in Dig
To embark on the Ghostbuster quest, you need to find the NPC Sam Colby located at the Graveyard behind the merchant within the Rooftop Woodlands. Here’s how to track him down:
- Pass by Grant Thorn, the NPC at the entrance of Rooftop Woodlands, and head past the Spore Spade shovel.
- Continue onward until you spot the merchant and mechanic, then look behind them.
- You’ll find the graveyard there, with Sam Colby situated at the coordinates: 3718, 226, -651.
- Interact with Sam, and he’ll set you on a mission to find 3 Ghosts (Legendary items).
Once you initiate the Ghostbuster quest, your task is simple: dig up the 3 Ghosts and return to Sam to claim your rewards.
How to Find Ghosts Easily in Dig
Ghosts are the elusive legendary items you need to uncover, and your best bet is to dig around in the Rooftop Woodlands. Don’t be misled into thinking they can only be found in the graveyard—I’ve actually unearthed ghosts near the mechanic, thanks to using a quality shovel. Be sure to check out the list of Dig shovels to choose one with superior luck stats.
To boost your chances of finding Ghosts, dig during Summer and Foggy weather. You can also seek out dig beacons emitting golden light scattered throughout Rooftop Woodlands; these can guarantee legendary items upon excavation.
Additionally, using Legendary Magnets can slightly enhance your likelihood of digging up a Ghost. Take advantage of special weather events in Dig, like a Meteor shower or a Clover storm, to improve your chances. A Blue Moon event can also amplify your strength, allowing you to dig faster.
Remember: if you don’t kick off the quest, no number of digs will count toward your Ghostbuster progress, so be sure to engage with Sam first!
How to Reroll Ectoplasm Sleeve Stats
Once you have successfully found all 3 Ghosts, return to Sam at the Graveyard to receive the Ectoplasm Sleeve charm as your reward. Note that this is a one-time quest, meaning the stats you receive on this charm cannot be refreshed by revisiting Sam.
If you’re like many players who end up with unfavorable stats, worry not! You can use the Charm Chisel in Dig to reroll the Ectoplasm Sleeve’s pips. Here’s how:
- Buy the Charm Chisel from the Appraiser at Fox Town.
- Open your equipment bag and navigate to the Charms tab.
- Select the Ectoplasm Sleeve and click the pencil icon to initiate the reroll.
- Pay the necessary cash, and the stats will alter.
Ensure you’ve unequipped the charm beforehand; otherwise, the reroll won’t work. Keep at it until you achieve the desired stats!
