Enhancing productivity and rewards in DIG involves strategic use of multiplayer-boosting items. Totems serve as area-effect tools that temporarily amplify benefits for nearby players, elevating ordinary excavation sessions into lucrative ventures. Discover their acquisition methods and optimal application strategies below.
Acquiring Totems in DIG
Three acquisition pathways exist for obtaining these power boosters. Merchant inventory offers region-specific options requiring in-game currency, with advanced zones like Meteor and Alona Jungle unlocking stronger variants. Narrative missions provide complimentary versions, while certain equipment like the Spore Spade Shovel yields rare variants through random drops during excavation.

Totem Activation Mechanics




Activation occurs through inventory deployment at excavation zones, generating an aura that enhances all participants within range. Coordinate placements to create multi-Totem configurations – three simultaneous effects maximize efficiency. Remember that duration counts down post-activation, requiring continuous digging to maintain benefits, with level 10 being the minimum requirement for usage.
