Mastering Roblox DIG’s Mutation mechanics is essential for optimizing earnings and curating unique items. These modifiers alter both value and aesthetics of unearthed objects, making strategic tool usage crucial. This guide explores mutation acquisition, types, and top-tier options available in the game.
Understanding DIG’s Mutation Mechanics
Modifications (commonly called Mutations) dynamically affect item worth in DIG through size variations, visual alterations, and event-based bonuses. Certain mutations significantly elevate an artifact’s market value when appraised.
Acquiring Modifications
Two primary modification categories exist with distinct acquisition methods:
- Physical Traits: Visible size/shine alterations (Titanic/Shiny) from enchanted tools like Wumbo. These display in item descriptions and impact appraisal outcomes.
- Event Modifiers: Exclusive effects tied to limited-time activities or specialized equipment, often yielding substantial value increases.
