Talk:Silverwastes Shovel
The wording in the skills saying that the shovel may break seems odd to me. I've never had a shovel break while using the sonar skill, and I've never had a shovel not break using the dig skill. --★KOKUOU★ 04:29, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
After using about 25 shovels in a row the next 4 did not have a Sonar skill. The shovel would work if I found a mound, but that skill was not visible or available. Separ (talk) 14:26, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes I was also missing the sonar skill once out of about 70 shovels. I don't know what caused it to bug. Tyndel (talk) 14:30, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
- After using the sonar skill 4 or 5 times. it vanished and never did return. every subsequent shovel thereafter would not have the sonar skill. {12:30 Sat May 14, 2016} ~Raijjn~
Feedback 2020/01/25[edit]
The Sonar skill (2) is actually far better at revealing hidden mounds than the green pointers would indicate. You may have noticed that often, the revealed mound is a bit further from the end of the green pointer. My rudimentary testing indicates that using the shovel 2 skill will reveal mounds in a circle about twice the radius of the limit of the green lines. In fact many of the revealed mounds will have no green line pointing to them at all. This is why is is almost always a good idea to use the 2 skill even before using the 1 skill on a mound. Even if you don't see any green lines, you still may have revealed a new mound outside the radius of the green pointer lines. You can double the number of chest finds doing this.--70.181.161.36 07:16, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
Acquisition: Dropped By[edit]
Do shovels actually drop from killed creatures? I've only ever seen them as event rewards. BenLubar (talk) 16:46, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
