Shovels are an integral part of the popular Roblox RPG, Dig It. Shovels, apart from adding flair to your character, are also the essential item that determines the loot you can acquire from digging. But, with over 15 different Shovels available in the game, it can be tough to find the right way to unlock them if you don’t know their locations. So, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide on the exact location for every Shovel in Dig It.
Every Shovel Location in Dig It
There are currently 20 Shovels available in Dig It, with some of them being limited times ones, while others can be bought with Doolars. But, even if you can buy them, you’ll need to know their exact location to purchase them. So, below we’ve listed each Shovel in Dig It alongside their location and other relevant details.
While finding the best Shovel can take you a long while, you can check out our Shovel Tier List for Dig It to find the best shovels which are worth saving your Doolars (in-game currency) for.
