A dredge is used to dig dirt from under the water level. Maximum depth is determined by your digging skill. You need a boat to dredge. When not in a boat you can only dredge to the same depth as you could dig with a shovel (2 dirt deep).

To use a dredge, while in a boat such as a Small Rowing boat, you simply float on top of the tile you want to dredge, and right click the tiles below and select "Dredge".

Dredging is for most purposes identical to digging on land. Thus dredging on dirt or sand lowers the terrain, while dredging on clay does not. The dredged items appear inside the dredge. The dredge can only hold two dirt or sand, so make sure you have access to the ship hold. Tar, peat and clay take less space, and the dredge does not need to be emptied as often.

Description

A dredge is a tool used to gather materials from underwater tiles and to dig below the depth that can normally be reached with a shovel.

Usage

  • The dredge's main use is digging from below water level, since digging with a shovel can only be done down to 7 dirt below water level.
  • Dredge quality and digging skill affect the maximum depth you can dredge.
  • You cannot dredge at a depth greater than 180 dirt below sea level.
  • A dredge can hold 2 piles of dirt or heaps of sand (40 kg), or 36 clay (72 kg), before it requires emptying.
    • When dredging, there must be space in the dredge and in the ship for the materials you would acquire.
  • You may not dredge stone.
  • Be careful when dredging while swimming, as you will quickly run out of stamina and drown.
  • A rowboat is the best boat to dredge from, as it is easier to see the tiles below you than on other boats.

Notes

  • The quality of the rope affects your success chance.
  • The quality of the square piece of cloth affects the initial quality of the dredge.
  • Failure damages both the rope and the square piece of cloth.
  • Improvement uses blacksmithing skill but carpentry tools: mallet, file, carving knife, pelt, and log.
  • Dredging works similar to digging, though you can be embarked on a boat or ship to dredge. Move on top of the corner you want to dig at, right-click the boat or ship you are on, and select Dredge. The dredged material appears inside the boat.
  • In order to level a tile to flat, you must be over an already-flat tile that is next to the nearby tile that is to be flattened. The Level option will only appear on tiles outside of the boat and very near.
  • On bigger ships, you may have to embark as a passenger to get the option to dredge, because as the commander you might technically be too far away from the boat to use it.
  • It is also a good idea to moor your ship or boat before dredging.
  • You can dredge all kinds of materials, including clay, peat, tar, gems, and valrei items.
  • It is much easier to see the bottom if you turn off water reflections in the game's video settings.
