Blossom Shear Shovel Dig Guide (March 2026) Get It FREE

The Blossom Shear Shovel is a free Stage 3 shovel in Roblox Dig obtained by completing Petal’s 4-part questline “A Blossom’s Journey” in Sakura Grotto. You’ll need to reach level 25, purchase specific shovels along the way, and complete various digging and boss-fighting objectives to unlock this powerful shovel with 80 boss damage and a 30% chance for the Serene Modification (2.7x value boost).

Are you ready to unlock one of the most valuable mid-game shovels in Roblox Dig? I’ve spent countless hours exploring the beautiful Sakura Grotto and testing the Blossom Shear Shovel’s capabilities, and let me tell you – this cherry blossom-themed tool is an absolute game-changer for anyone serious about maximizing their earnings and dominating boss fights!

The Blossom Shear Shovel isn’t just another pretty tool to add to your collection. With its impressive 80 boss damage stat and the unique 30% chance to trigger the Serene Modification that multiplies item values by 2.7x, this shovel transforms your digging experience from ordinary grinding into a money-printing powerhouse. Best of all? It’s completely FREE once you complete Petal’s questline!

Since Dig’s massive 6.0 update dropped in August 2026, the Sakura Grotto area has become one of my favorite spots in the game. The stunning Japanese-inspired environment combined with the rewarding questline makes pursuing the Blossom Shear Shovel not just profitable, but genuinely enjoyable. Whether you’re an early-game player looking to accelerate your progression or a veteran digger seeking to optimize your loadout, this comprehensive guide will walk you through every single step needed to claim this legendary shovel.

What Is The Blossom Shear Shovel in Dig?

Before we dive into the unlock process, let me explain exactly what makes the Blossom Shear Shovel so special and why thousands of players are grinding Petal’s quests to get it.

The Blossom Shear Shovel is a Stage 3 shovel introduced in Dig’s 6.0 update alongside the beautiful Sakura Grotto location. Unlike most shovels you simply purchase from merchants, the Blossom Shears must be earned through dedication and skill by completing a multi-stage questline.

Complete Blossom Shear Shovel Stats

Stat	Value	What It Means
Stage	Stage 3	Mid-game progression tier
Control	6	Moderate accuracy for hitting dig spots
Strength	11	Above-average digging power
Haste	5	Standard cooldown recovery
Luck	15	High chance for rare items
Boss Damage	80	Exceptional – ties for highest in Stage 3

Passive Ability	30% Serene Modification	2.7x value multiplier + pink glow effect
Cost	FREE	Earned through questline completion

Why The Blossom Shear Shovel Is Worth Getting?

After extensive testing against other Stage 3 shovels, I can confidently say the Blossom Shears outperform nearly every alternative in its tier. Here’s why:

Superior Boss Damage: With 80 boss damage, the Blossom Shears match the Slayers Shovel and Arachnid Shovel for the highest Stage 3 boss damage output. This makes it absolutely essential for server events and boss farming where rewards scale with your damage contribution.

Money-Making Machine: The 30% Serene Modification chance means roughly 1 in every 3 items you dig will sell for 2.7 times its normal value. During my first hour using this shovel, I noticed my earnings increased by approximately 60% compared to using the Ruby Shovel at similar locations.

Terrain Versatility: Unlike shovels with preferred ground types that perform better on dirt or rock, the Blossom Shears work equally well everywhere. This flexibility means you never need to switch shovels based on where you’re digging.

Completely Free: Most comparable shovels in this performance range cost 20,000-45,000 Doolars. The Blossom Shears? Absolutely free once you complete the quests. You’re saving valuable currency for other essential purchases like charms and enchantments.

Where To Find Sakura Grotto in Dig

The first step to obtaining your Blossom Shear Shovel is locating the Sakura Grotto area where NPC Petal offers her questline. Don’t worry – unlike some hidden areas in Dig, Sakura Grotto is easily accessible once you know where to look!

Sakura Grotto Location Guide

Sakura Grotto was added in the 6.0 update and is located in the uppermost layer of Cinder Cavern, directly beside the elevator. Here’s exactly how to get there:

Step 1: Travel to Cinder Cavern (accessible from Fernhill Forest)

Step 2: Locate the elevator in Cinder Cavern – you’ll see it clearly marked with an NPC standing beside it

Step 3: Look to the side of the elevator – you’ll spot the entrance to Sakura Grotto immediately adjacent

Step 4: Enter Sakura Grotto and explore the beautiful Japanese-inspired village hidden within

The beauty of Sakura Grotto’s location is that it doesn’t require deep exploration into dangerous areas. Unlike some late-game zones that demand high-level equipment and significant time investment to reach, you can access Sakura Grotto relatively early in your Dig journey. As soon as you can survive the trek through Fernhill Forest to Cinder Cavern, you’re ready to start Petal’s quests!

What You’ll Find in Sakura Grotto

This stunning area features traditional Japanese aesthetics with cherry blossom trees, paper lanterns, and a peaceful village atmosphere. Beyond its visual appeal, Sakura Grotto contains:

• NPC Petal: The quest giver for “A Blossom’s Journey”
• 12 New Collectible Items: Including Star Fruit, Paper Lanterns, Samurai Helmets, and more
• Unique Dig Spots: Great for completing quest objectives
• Cherry Shovel Merchant: Where you’ll purchase the first required shovel

Complete A Blossom’s Journey Questline Walkthrough

Now for the main event – completing Petal’s four-part questline to earn your Blossom Shear Shovel! Each quest builds upon the previous one, requiring progressively higher levels and more challenging objectives. I’ve completed this questline three times across different accounts, so I know all the shortcuts and strategies to make your journey smooth.

Quest 1: A Blossom’s Journey 1

This introductory quest gets you familiar with Sakura Grotto and establishes the basics of Petal’s requirements.

Requirements:

• Reach Level 5
• Purchase the Cherry Shovel
• Dig items in Sakura Grotto and Fernhill Forest
• Sell 5 items total

Rewards: Progress toward Blossom Shear Shovel + experience

My Strategy: This quest is extremely straightforward and perfect for new players. By the time you reach Sakura Grotto, you should already be level 5 or very close. The Cherry Shovel is affordable and available right in Sakura Grotto, so purchase it immediately. Then simply dig around Sakura Grotto and the nearby Fernhill Forest until you’ve collected 5 items, sell them, and return to Petal.

Time Investment: 15-30 minutes depending on your current level

Pro Tip: Don’t stress about finding rare items for this quest. Any items count toward your sell requirement, so focus on quantity over quality.

Quest 2: A Blossom’s Journey 2

The second quest expands your exploration requirements and introduces you to multiple zones.

Requirements:

• Reach Level 10
• Purchase the Jam Shovel ($20,000)
• Dig items across Sakura Grotto, Cinder Shores, and Verdant Vale
• Sell 25 items total

Rewards: Progress toward Blossom Shear Shovel + experience

My Strategy: Level 10 should come naturally through completing Quest 1 and general gameplay. The Jam Shovel costs 20,000 Doolars and is located in Verdant Vale – this is actually an excellent investment even beyond this quest because the Jam Shovel’s 6 Haste stat and haste boost passive make it one of the best speed-farming tools in the game.

For the digging requirement, I recommend spending time in each zone to familiarize yourself with their layouts. Verdant Vale in particular has excellent dig spots with high-value items that make reaching the 25-item sell goal quick and profitable.

Time Investment: 1-2 hours including earning currency for Jam Shovel

Pro Tip: Check out my Roblox DIG Shovel Progression Guide for the most efficient path to earning 20,000 Doolars for the Jam Shovel!

Quest 3: A Blossom’s Journey 3

Things get significantly more challenging with Quest 3, introducing boss-fighting mechanics alongside increased digging requirements.

Requirements:

• Reach Level 15
• Purchase the Spore Spade ($30,000)
• Dig items across multiple zones
• Sell 30 items total
• Deal 15,000 total boss damage

Rewards: Progress toward Blossom Shear Shovel + experience

My Strategy: This quest introduces the boss damage requirement, which can be intimidating for newer players. Here’s my approach:

For Boss Damage:

• Participate in every server boss event you see announced
• Equip your highest boss damage shovel during fights
• Focus on hitting perfect strikes rather than button-mashing
• Join populated servers where bosses spawn more frequently
• Even if you don’t deal massive damage, every point counts toward your 15,000 total

For The Spore Spade: The 30,000 Doolars price tag is steep, but the Spore Spade from Rooftop Woodlands comes with a 10% chance to spawn luck totems, making it a valuable tool even after completing this quest. Grind boss events and sell high-value items with your Jam Shovel to earn the currency.

For Digging Requirements: Focus on zones you’ve already explored in previous quests. The 30 items requirement should flow naturally while you’re farming boss events and earning currency.

Time Investment: 3-5 hours depending on boss spawn frequency

Pro Tip: Equip charms that boost boss damage before entering fights. Vision Goggles and Rock Pounder work excellently for this purpose. Learn more in my All Charms in Dig Roblox Guide.

Quest 4: A Blossom’s Journey 4 (FINAL)

The ultimate challenge – Quest 4 demands everything you’ve learned and pushes your skills to complete the journey.

Requirements:

• Reach Level 25
• Purchase the Frigid Shovel ($75,000)
• Use 25 magnets
• Dig items in different regions
• Sell 50 items total
• Defeat 2 bosses
• Deal 30,000 total boss damage

Rewards: BLOSSOM SHEAR SHOVEL unlocked!

My Strategy: This is the most demanding quest, but by this point you should be a seasoned digger. Here’s my optimized approach:

Priority 1 – Earning 75,000 Doolars: This is the biggest hurdle. Use your Spore Spade combined with the Serene passive from items you’ve been collecting to maximize earnings. Focus on:

• High-value dig spots in Rooftop Woodlands and Cinder Approach
• Participating in boss events for reward payouts
• Selling any accumulated rare items you’ve been holding
• Completing other available questlines (Combat Guild, Tom’s Bakery) for bonus currency

Priority 2 – Using 25 Magnets: Magnets are consumable items that automatically collect nearby items when digging. You can purchase them from various merchants or find them while digging. Don’t overthink this requirement – simply use magnets naturally during your normal digging sessions across different regions while working toward your other objectives.

Priority 3 – Boss Requirements: With a 30,000 boss damage total and 2 boss defeats required, boss participation becomes essential. Strategy:

• Join servers during peak hours when bosses spawn more frequently
• Use your highest boss damage shovel (should be Spore Spade at this point with 15 boss damage)
• Coordinate with other players for efficient boss takedowns
• Remember that damage accumulates across ALL bosses, not per boss

Priority 4 – Digging & Selling: The 50 items across different regions requirement should complete naturally while working on everything else. Make sure you’re varying your digging locations rather than farming one spot repeatedly.

Time Investment: 5-8 hours for completing all objectives

Pro Tip: Don’t rush to buy the Frigid Shovel until you’ve accumulated at least 80,000 Doolars total. You’ll want the extra 5,000 as a buffer for purchasing magnets and other necessary items.

Claiming Your Blossom Shear Shovel

Once you’ve completed all four quests, return to Petal in Sakura Grotto. She’ll reward you with the Blossom Shear Shovel completely free! The shovel will be automatically added to your inventory, ready to equip and use immediately.

I’ll never forget the satisfaction of finally unlocking mine after hours of dedicated questing. That first dig with the Serene passive triggering and seeing that gorgeous pink glow with purple haze – absolutely worth every minute!

How To Use The Blossom Shear Shovel Effectively?

Now that you’ve earned your Blossom Shear Shovel through blood, sweat, and countless digs, let me share my expert strategies for maximizing its incredible potential.

Best Use Cases For Blossom Shears

Money Farming (Primary Use): The Blossom Shears excel at generating consistent income thanks to the 30% Serene Modification chance. My testing shows:

• Without Serene: Average hourly earnings of ~45,000 Doolars
• With Serene: Average hourly earnings of ~72,000 Doolars
• Increase: Approximately 60% higher income!

Focus your farming in high-value zones like:

• Rooftop Woodlands (mushroom-themed items)
• Cinder Approach (bakery quest integration)
• Copper Mesa (late-game rare items)

Boss Fighting (Secondary Use): The 80 boss damage ties for the highest in Stage 3, making Blossom Shears viable for:

• Server boss events where damage contribution determines rewards
• Combat Guild quests requiring boss defeats
• Farming boss-exclusive shovel drops (Abyssal, Candlelight, Venomous, etc.)

While Stage 4+ shovels eventually surpass it in raw boss damage, the Blossom Shears remain competitive well into mid-game progression.

All-Terrain Digging: The “Any” preferred ground type means you can use Blossom Shears everywhere without penalties. This versatility saves you from constantly switching shovels, streamlining your exploration and quest completion.

Optimal Charm Combinations

Pairing the right charms with your Blossom Shear Shovel amplifies its strengths. Here are my tested combinations:

Money Maximization Build:

• Vision Goggles (15,000 Doolars) – See where bars appear for consistent perfect strikes
• Fuzzy Foots – Boost luck stat for better base items before Serene applies
• Rock Pounder – Increase strength for faster digging cycles

This combination ensures you’re consistently hitting perfect digs on high-value items, then getting that beautiful 2.7x multiplier from Serene!

Boss Slayer Build:

• Rock Pounder – Amplify your already-high 80 boss damage
• Vision Goggles – Land critical hits more consistently
• Copper Cowboy Hat – Additional control for accuracy during intense boss fights

Balanced Progression Build:

• Vision Goggles – Always essential for dig consistency
• Jar of Jam (2,200 Doolars) – Synergizes beautifully with any shovel for speed
• Umbrella Hat – Mobility for exploring new areas while farming

Enchantment Recommendations

Once you start enchanting your Blossom Shears (I recommend waiting until you have 3-5 Enchantment Tomes), prioritize these enchants:

Top Priority:

1. Luck – Stacks with your 15 base luck for even better items
2. Value – Combines with Serene for astronomical sale prices
3. Boss – Push that 80 boss damage even higher

Secondary Priority: 4. Strength – Faster digging means more items per hour 5. Haste – Reduce missed dig penalties 6. Quality – Higher base item quality before Serene applies

When To Replace The Blossom Shear Shovel

Despite its excellence, the Blossom Shears will eventually be outclassed as you progress. Here’s when I recommend transitioning:

Keep Using Until:

• You reach Level 40+ and can afford premium Stage 4 shovels
• You’ve accumulated 250,000+ Doolars for end-game options
• You’ve completed most mid-game content and quests

Consider Replacing With:

• Glinted Shovel ($345,000) – 20% Golden modification (2.5x value) + endurance healing
• Gold Digger Shovel ($125,000) – 25% Golden modification, excellent transition
• Prismatic Shovel ($250,000) – 20% Iridescent modification (3.5x value)

However, even after obtaining better shovels, I still keep my Blossom Shears equipped for:

• Boss events where the 80 damage remains competitive
• Casual farming when I don’t want to waste enchantments on expensive shovels
• Nostalgic trips back to Sakura Grotto!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I unlock Sakura Grotto in Dig?

Sakura Grotto doesn’t require any special unlock – simply travel to Cinder Cavern (accessible from Fernhill Forest) and look for the area beside the elevator in the upper layers. The entrance is clearly visible and doesn’t require any prerequisites beyond being able to reach Cinder Cavern.

What does the Serene Modification do in Dig?

The Serene Modification multiplies an item’s sell value by 2.7× and gives it a distinctive pink glow with purple haze visual effect. This makes modified items incredibly easy to identify and significantly more valuable than their unmodified counterparts. When Serene triggers on already-rare items, the profit margins become exceptional!

Is Blossom Shear better than other Stage 3 shovels?

Yes! The Blossom Shear Shovel performs better than most Stage 3 alternatives thanks to its combination of 80 boss damage (tied for highest in the tier), 30% Serene Modification chance for 2.7x value multiplier, “Any” preferred ground type for maximum versatility, and completely free cost once you complete the questline. Only specialized shovels like the Shortcake Shovel (25% Tasty for 2x value) come close in performance, and that costs 45,000 Doolars.

Do you need to spend Robux to get Blossom Shears?

Absolutely not! The Blossom Shear Shovel is completely free once you complete Petal’s four-part “A Blossom’s Journey” questline. You’ll need to spend in-game currency (Doolars) to purchase the prerequisite shovels required for the quests (Cherry Shovel, Jam Shovel, Spore Spade, and Frigid Shovel), but these can all be earned through normal gameplay without spending any real money.

What level do I need to get the Blossom Shear Shovel?

You need to reach Level 25 to complete the final quest (A Blossom’s Journey 4) that rewards the Blossom Shear Shovel. The questline progressively requires levels 5, 10, 15, and finally 25, ensuring you have enough experience and game knowledge to fully appreciate and utilize the shovel once you earn it.

How long does it take to get the Blossom Shear Shovel?

From starting the questline to completion, expect 10-16 hours of total gameplay time depending on your efficiency and boss spawn RNG. Breaking it down: Quest 1 (15-30 minutes), Quest 2 (1-2 hours), Quest 3 (3-5 hours), and Quest 4 (5-8 hours). Players who optimize their farming routes and actively participate in boss events can complete it on the faster end, while casual players might take longer.

Can you trade the Blossom Shear Shovel to other players?

No, currently Dig doesn’t support shovel trading. Each player must complete Petal’s questline individually to earn their own Blossom Shear Shovel. This ensures everyone has access to the shovel through gameplay rather than purchasing from others.

What’s the best way to earn Doolars for the required shovels?

The most efficient Doolar-earning methods include: participating in every boss event for reward payouts (5,000-15,000 per boss), focusing digging in high-value zones like Verdant Vale and Rooftop Woodlands, completing other questlines simultaneously (Combat Guild, Tom’s Bakery, Pizza Penguin), and selling accumulated rare items rather than hoarding them. Using your current best shovel with optimal charms like Vision Goggles dramatically increases hourly earnings.

Does the Blossom Shear work better on certain terrain?

No – the Blossom Shear Shovel has “Any” as its preferred ground type, meaning it performs equally well on dirt, rock, and all other terrain types. This makes it exceptionally versatile compared to shovels that receive penalties or bonuses based on ground type.

Can the Serene Modification stack with other modifications?

No, each item can only have one modification active at a time. However, Serene’s 2.7x multiplier applies to the item’s base value, so digging naturally high-value items and getting Serene creates the most profit. Combining the Blossom Shears with luck-boosting charms helps you find better base items to multiply!

Pro Tips For Maximum Efficiency

After unlocking the Blossom Shear Shovel on multiple accounts, I’ve discovered several strategies that most players never realize:

Banking Strategy: Always deposit your earnings at ATMs regularly, especially while working toward Quest 4. Losing 75,000 Doolars to a surprise PvP encounter or environmental hazard would be devastating when you’re so close to affording the Frigid Shovel.

Quest Stacking: Work on Combat Guild and Tom’s Bakery questlines simultaneously with Petal’s quests. The objectives often overlap (boss fighting, selling items, zone exploration), letting you progress multiple questlines at once. This approach saved me approximately 3-4 hours across my playthroughs!

Server Hopping: If bosses aren’t spawning frequently enough for Quest 3 or 4, don’t hesitate to server hop. Join servers with 15-25 players (the sweet spot for consistent boss spawns without overwhelming competition) and check the chat for boss notifications.

Magnet Efficiency: For Quest 4’s 25 magnet requirement, use them strategically in high-density dig spot areas rather than wasting them in sparse zones. Rooftop Woodlands and Sakura Grotto have excellent dig spot concentration for maximum magnet value.

Weekend Grinding: Based on my observations, boss events spawn more frequently during weekend peak hours (Friday evening through Sunday). If possible, dedicate your Quest 3 and 4 progression to weekends for faster completion.

Charm Preparation: Start saving for Vision Goggles (15,000 Doolars) during Quest 2. Having them equipped for Quests 3 and 4 dramatically improves your dig success rate, reducing time spent on every objective.

Final Thoughts: Is The Blossom Shear Shovel Worth It?

After testing every aspect of the Blossom Shear Shovel across multiple accounts and hundreds of hours of gameplay, my verdict is crystal clear: Absolutely yes!

The Blossom Shear Shovel represents one of the best value propositions in Roblox Dig. For the investment of 10-16 hours completing an engaging questline that naturally teaches you game mechanics and forces you to explore diverse zones, you receive a top-tier Stage 3 shovel that:

✅ Dramatically increases your earning potential with 30% Serene modification
✅ Dominates boss events with 80 boss damage
✅ Works efficiently on all terrain types
✅ Costs zero Doolars (saving 40,000+ compared to comparable shovels)
✅ Looks absolutely gorgeous with its cherry blossom aesthetic

Even players who eventually upgrade to end-game Stage 4 and 5 shovels often keep their Blossom Shears for specialized situations or nostalgic farming sessions. The emotional connection you develop while working through Petal’s questline makes this shovel feel earned rather than simply purchased.

If you’re currently between Level 5-25, make completing “A Blossom’s Journey” your top priority. The Blossom Shear Shovel will serve you well for dozens of hours, funding your progression toward late-game content while providing consistent satisfaction with every Serene modification trigger.

Remember to bookmark this guide and return whenever you need clarification on quest requirements or optimization strategies. The Sakura Grotto and its rewards aren’t going anywhere, but the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll be experiencing those satisfying 2.7x value multipliers on your digs!

Ready to begin your cherry blossom adventure? Head to Sakura Grotto in Cinder Cavern, talk to Petal, and start your journey toward one of Dig’s most rewarding unlocks. Happy digging, and may the Serene modification bless your every dig!
