Description

Used to disarm traps and to dig up dirt, sand, clay, peat, and tar. 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 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 slabs. 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 cannot 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 acquiring a new one.
