Dig Essential Items – Roblox

We can't play without all of these.

As you progress in Roblox Dig, you’ll likely run into a lot of things that might get in your way. Walking and driving can take forever, basic movement is slow, finding specific items can be a pain, and worst of all, when you do find these items, you may just fail to dig them out. What if we told you that you can solve all of these problems with a few amazing items? We’ll tell you all about them in Dig Essential Items – Roblox.

Best Items in Roblox Dig

This list won’t include the best Shovels or the best consumable items. For the most part, these are permanent items that you can use whenever, which can significantly improve your experience in Roblox Dig. We highly recommend obtaining these items (especially the last one), as they will make things significantly easier for you. Without further ado, here they are:

Item Detector / Metal Detector

The Item Detector can pinpoint the exact location of specific items, making it easier for you to find them. Not all items can be detected, but those that can will be marked on your screen. It works the same as the Radar from Fisch, but the scanned areas will only stay on your screen for a few seconds. You don’t even need to equip it, as you can bring it out almost every type by pressing the “Q” button on your keyboard to equip/unequip it. You can buy this in the Fox Town main shop, and it’s worth every penny of those $10,000.

Glider

Another item taken straight from Roblox Fisch (well, they are the same development team, so it makes sense). The glider lets you slowly glide from a higher altitude and makes you fall in style. This can come in handy if you’re trying to cross a huge gap or even if you just want to get to places faster. Gliding is a lot faster than moving, so we often find ourselves using this. We recommend you put this on your hotbar and just mess around with it whenever you’re walking somewhere. You can buy the Glider at the Mount Cinder for only $3,000. Well worth every penny.

Emergency Flare

While you’re at Mount Cinder, go a bit further into the snowy area and find a crashed helicopter. Next to it, you’ll find an NPC with an Emergency Flare for sale. It costs $30,000, but it’s absolutely worth it. The Emergency Flare will teleport you to Fox Town no matter where you are. Before you ask, YES, it can also teleport you from the Enchant Cave. There is only a one-minute cooldown, so you can absolutely abuse this teleportation. It’s pretty much an essential item, no matter what you might be doing in the game.

Vision Goggles

An absolute game changer. Vision Goggles are the most expensive charm in the little Charm Shop in Fox Town. Their description may be a bit vague, so you may not even want to buy them, but let us assure you, we can’t go back to playing Roblox Dig without these babies.

What the Vision Goggles do is mark where the next digging bar will appear during the digging minigame. This means that you can better predict when and where you need to click. While it may seem like a minor change, this has improved our digging SO MUCH. Not only are we failing the digging minigame much less, but we’ve even perfected the art of double-clicking, because we know if the next dig location is going to be on the same spot. Seriously, even if you can only afford one item from this list, just go with the Vision Goggles and bring your digging to the next level.

And there you have it. Four essential items we can’t live without in Roblox Dig. Now stop saving for that new Shovel and go get these things first; you’ll thank us later. If you are having trouble with bosses, check out our Roblox Dig Boss Guide.
