Used to dig up [[Pile_of_dirt|dirt]], [[clay]], and [[peat]]. Can also be used to flatten land or pack dirt for faster travel. Shovels can cut down trees and bushes, albeit more slowly than a proper axe or hatchet. Shovels are the primary tool for [[Digging | terraforming]], landscaping and building [[roads]] and paths. If your character has 21 body strength, you may use a shovel to destroy pavement such as [[cobblestone]], [[gravel]], or [[stone slab]]s. It is a terrible implement for fighting, and is not recommended for such purposes. The shovel provided for you as part of the set of beginner gear from the guide <b>cannot</b> be improved. You must make a new shovel from scratch to obtain one over QL10.
'''WARNING:''' The shovel given with the beginner set is made out of birchwood and is burnable. Take care as to not accidentally put it into a campfire, forge or oven! If you lose it in this way, you will have to either make a new one from scratch or ask other players for help in aquiring acquiring a new one.
