Ever since Roblox DIG launched on June 28, 2025, I’ve been absolutely hooked on this treasure-hunting masterpiece from the creators of Fisch. After spending countless hours digging through every island and testing every single shovel, I’m excited to share this complete guide covering all 33 shovels currently available in the game!
Unlike other simulator games where you mindlessly click, DIG rewards skill and strategy. Your choice of shovel can make the difference between struggling for hours or striking it rich with legendary treasures. That’s why understanding each shovel’s unique stats and abilities is crucial for your success.
How to Get Shovels in DIG Roblox?
Before diving into the complete list, let me explain the different ways you can obtain shovels in DIG:
1. Shop Purchases
Most shovels are bought from merchants scattered across different islands. Each area has its own shop with unique shovels tailored to that zone’s difficulty.
2. Boss Drops
Some of the best shovels come from defeating bosses. These require teamwork but offer powerful rewards without spending Doolars.
3. Quest Rewards
Special NPCs like Old Tom and the Pizza Penguin offer exclusive shovels for completing their quests.
4. Gamepass Shovels
The Bejeweled Shovel is available through the Shovel Club gamepass for players wanting an early advantage.

The mysterious Traveling Merchant appears randomly with rare shovels like the Gold Digger and Prismatic.

Best DIG Shovels by Category
After extensive testing, here are my top picks for different playstyles:
Best Early Game Shovel
???? Ruby Shovel – At just $6,500, this shovel offers excellent control and strength that’ll carry you through mid-game. Skip the overpriced Lucky Shovel and go straight for this gem.
Best Free Shovel
???? Candlelight Shovel – Superior to the Abyssal Shovel in every way except raw strength. The balanced stats make it perfect for players who haven’t mastered the digging minigame yet.
Best Money-Making Shovel
???? Gold Digger Shovel – The 25% Golden mutation chance is a game-changer. I went from 50k to 2 million Doolars in my first week using this shovel.
Best Boss Fighting Shovel
???? Slayers Shovel – With 80 Boss Damage, this Combat Guild exclusive melts bosses. Essential for farming boss drops and guild points.
Best End-Game Shovel
???? Prismatic Shovel – Better value than Starfire at less than half the price. The Iridescent modifier combined with perfect stats makes this my daily driver.
Most Underrated Shovel
???? Jam Shovel – Don’t sleep on this $20,000 powerhouse. The haste boost passive stacks with the Jar of Jam charm for insane digging speed.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Your Shovels in DIG
After mastering every shovel in the game, here are my top strategies:
1. Enchantment Priority
Start enchanting once you get the Jam Shovel. Even basic enchantments boost efficiency by 20-30%. Focus on:
- Haste enchantments for speed
- Strength for fewer digs
- Luck for rare items
2. Charm Synergies
Always match your shovel with the right charm:
- Jam Shovel + Jar of Jam = Insane haste
- Gold Digger + Wealth Charm = Maximum profits
- Slayers + Combat Charm = Boss melting power
3. Skip These Shovel Traps
- Training Shovel – The -20 luck destroys early game profits
- Lucky Shovel – Overpriced for minimal luck boost
- Obsidian Shovel – High haste but terrible control makes it frustrating
4. Platform-Specific Tips
- Mobile Players: Prioritize high control shovels
- PC Players: You can handle lower control for better stats
- Console Players: Mid-range control works best
5. Weather Event Strategies
Different shovels excel during specific weather:
- Lucky Event: Use high luck shovels (Bell, Frigid)
- Speed Storm: Jam Shovel dominates
- Golden Rain: Gold Digger is mandatory
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best shovel for beginners in Roblox DIG?
The Toy Shovel at $350 offers the best balance for new players. Its 5.5 control makes the digging minigame manageable while you learn the mechanics.
Should I buy every shovel as I progress?
Absolutely not! Follow my progression guide and skip unnecessary shovels. You only need 6-7 key shovels to reach end-game efficiently.
Is the Starfire Shovel worth 600k?
In my opinion, no. The Prismatic Shovel at 250k offers 90% of Starfire’s effectiveness at less than half the price. Save your Doolars for enchantments instead.
How do I unlock boss shovels?
Join servers with active players and participate in every boss fight. Even with low damage, you’ll get rewards. The Candlelight Shovel is easiest to obtain.
What’s the fastest way to get the Gold Digger Shovel?
Grind with the Jam Shovel in Verdant Vale, always dig glowing spots, and sell everything. You can earn 120k in about 5-6 hours of focused play.
Do gamepass shovels give unfair advantages?
The Bejeweled Shovel is decent but not game-breaking. Free players can easily surpass it by level 10 with the Ruby Shovel.
Which shovel has the highest luck stat?
The Bell Shovel boasts 25 luck, but remember – consistent digging with good control often beats high luck gambling.
Can I trade shovels with other players?
Currently, DIG doesn’t support shovel trading. Each player must purchase or earn their own shovels.
Conclusion
Mastering Roblox DIG’s shovel system is the key to becoming a legendary treasure hunter. Whether you’re grinding for that perfect Prismatic Shovel or just starting with your trusty Wooden Shovel, remember that skill matters more than equipment.
The beauty of DIG lies in its balance – expensive doesn’t always mean better. I’ve seen skilled players with Jam Shovels outperform those wielding Starfire Shovels simply through better timing and strategy.
