There’s a crimson glow creeping over the Cinder Seas, and you know what that means—the Blood Moon event is live in DIG, and it’s not pulling any punches. This limited-time update (wrapping up on July 12) brings a whole wave of creepy-cool features, game-wide polish, and yes, one very angry three-headed wolf. Let’s dive in.
Mythical Monsters & a Mysterious Merchant
Every six hours, that eerie red moon rises, bringing with it mythical creatures, a shady merchant, and enough dark vibes to give even seasoned diggers the chills. The merchant? Now you can reroll their inventory—finally! And they’ve stocked up on eight brand-new charms and a shiny new shovel that’s just begging to be tested out.
New Gear, Guilds & Glimmer
A whole new Prismatic rarity has landed, with seven powerful prismatic items scattered across the world. You’ll also find a Combat Guild and Observation Building waiting in Copper Mesa. (Pro tip: take a moment to admire the moon from there—it’s oddly peaceful.)
Other gear drops include:
- A new shovel hidden deep in the Cinder Caverns
- Five new magnets in the Magnet Crate
- A Level 0 vehicle and a Level 90 vehicle for the overachievers
- More entries and secrets added to Alona Jungle’s journal
Plus, there’s a Highest Dig Streak tracker now—though it won’t reflect past streaks. Fair warning.
Mobile & Console Players Get Some Love
If you’re digging on the go, you’re in luck. DIG’s mobile and console experience just got a serious glow-up:
- A dedicated DIG button for mobile
- Bigger backpack and material menus
- Better driving controls for vehicles
- Streamlined digging for smoother play
Buffs, Nerfs & Balance Fixes Galore
This update is stacked with balance tweaks. Some prices went up (RIP to cheap Haste Coils), but other items got sweet buffs. Here’s a quick taste:
- Ninja Headband is now pricier—but has shovel synergy
- Energy Apparatus bumped from Scarce to Legendary
- Vision Goggles are cheaper now
- Certain rare items are easier to find (finally!)
- Prismatic Domino Crown’s passive got buffed
There’s also a new server-wide cooldown on Boss Horns to curb overpowered money farming. Plus, a bunch of little fixes: grammar touch-ups, stat reordering, UI improvements, and even a shoutout to Vanni’s roommate, who apparently really doesn’t like gold nugget inflation. Fair enough.
Whether you’re here for the story, the gear, or just to stay away from a big-three headed wolf under a red sky, this update has stuff for every seeker. Just keep in mind—you’ve got until July 12 to take in all the Blood Moon crazy.
Oh, and Don’t Forget the Codes
Yes, DIG still has working codes! They’re a great way to score some extra resources, especially with pricey gear like Prismatic items or late-game vehicles now in play. Keep an eye on the game’s socials and community pages to stay updated on active codes—you never know when a freebie might help you snag your next big item.
