Spade

[Fljotsdale]

How do you know where to dig? Only place I found was a grave at Orchard Farm. Every other likely-looking place I have tried has yielded nothing. The Manual just says 'keep your eyes open'.

[Fljotsdale]

ahhh... yes... I thought as much. This place is deader'n a doornail. Oh well... I guess I'll figure it out eventually...

Sorry, as far as I can recall, the spade just shows up in the context sensitive part of the interface in the few places where you can dig.

Thanks, but... the first place I found where digging worked - a grave on Orchard farm that I dug on spec - there was nothing showing in the context sensitive interfaces. I was thinking something should sshow somewhere so I always keep my eyes open for it show up, but nothing ever has, so far. I dug all over the left hand side of the beach for the pirate's treasure before I finaly found it just by trial and error. Nothing showed I'd found the right place. I guess my game has a glitch.

Graves are usually good places to die and leave something behind. Other really good places to dig are in circles of flowers. Always nice stuff in there. Really any spot that seems to stand out is usually a good place to dig, there are a few places, like in Witchwood, right in front of the statue, which is not so obvious. These you will have to depend on upon the Spade Icon popping up when you run over it.

This is an interesting problem, on my game whenever I walk over a spot that has something to dig for the icon shows up in the action thing.

[Kristobal]

I think that it is supposed to do that. Unless you mean it doesnt come up in the action que.

Thanks, people!

It didn't show up at all. I kept looking and nothing showed up in the interactive ring. But then, nothing showed up, initially, for the fishing rod, either - not until I got GIVEN another rod at the Fisher Lake. Then the hook showed up in the interactive ring, but not when I had the rod I bought from a trader.

So... I'm wondering... is there some special person I have to get the spade from before it shows up? I just bought one from some trader, and I don't remember where. I think it may have been after taking the Merchants through Darkwood, so it would have been from the tradepost at the end.

Probably a bug then, because I have always bought my spade from the first person I can and it has always showed up for me.

Thanks, Kristobal. Yup, must be a bug in that case. Oh, well... Maybe it'll decide to show up one day. Meantime, I'll just carry on diggind anywhere that looks possible.

01. buy spade 02. walk SLOWLY over circles with flowers round it, graves, edges of the map and any place that has dirt with no grass. 03. DIG

Thanks, HeroPaladine. But actually, it shows up now, in my 4th restart! I think there was a problem with the game, but it's sorted itself in this run, I'm glad to say.
