How to Use the Silver Spade

Unearth Mystery Seeds With the Silver Spade

The Silver Spade allows you to collect resources from shining digging spots you encounter in each region. To gather, simply walk next to the digging spot and press the Interact button to start digging.

We also recommend unlocking the Reagent Sensing incantation so you do not miss out on these ore deposits after a battle!

How to Equip the Silver Spade

Interact With the Silver Pool to Equip

Once you have crafted the Silver Spade, you can equip it by locating it in Silver Pool.

Afterwards, press the Interact button on the Silver Spade, and it will be equipped by Melinoe.

Can Only Bring One Tool per Run

Similar to Weapons, however, you can only bring one Tool with you per run. Thus, you cannot collect resources that are associated with another Gathering Tool.

Before heading out, select which Tool and Resource you would like to focus on for the run. Your currently equipped Tool will be displayed on the lower right hand corner of the screen.
