Digger

A mega taiga biome

**Digger** is one of the seven available jobs on Vulengate. It focuses around digging blocks such as sand, grass, clay etc.

Due to its limited range of payment options and low income rates it's a difficult job to grind for money. Often times it's used as a form of passive income while gathering materials like sand that are in high demand.

Players who reach level 200 in the Digger job are given a commemorative [Digger] Tag for the accomplishment.

## Job Info

*All job information is shown at level 1. The increase of income and experience is by 0.1% of its value every level.*

## Getting Started

### Essentials

Any diamond shovel with efficiency V or above will be enough to auto break every block in the digger job, arguably the lowest entry requirement tool for grinding any job. An efficiency 7 shovel with the Haste II Custom Enchant applied is capable of breaking most digger job blocks mid-air which can significantly increase the payment speed with the proper method.

Access to /feed from Brigadier rank or above is helpful due to the rapid depletion of hunger from breaking so many blocks quickly.

## Strategies

### Mega Taigas

The most common method of grinding Digger job is by digging the podzol and coarse dirt that spawns naturally on the ground of mega taiga biomes. These biomes, although rare, contain the best sources of income and experience within the Digger job and are often cleared out in the resource world each month by players working in the job.

#### Biome Prep

In preparation for a jobs income or jobs EXP boost many players will prepare the mega taiga biome beforehand, chopping down the spruce trees and clearing the mossy cobble rocks to leave a flat surface layer of podzol and coarse dirt. After the boost is redeemed the flattened ground can be quickly mined without needing to navigate obstacles, speeding up the process significantly. The more time spent preparing a biome the more effective this method becomes.

### Clay Deposits

As of Minecraft 1.18, the clay deposits that spawn in lush cave biomes also provide an excellent source of digger income and experience, though they are more limited in resources than mega taiga biomes.

### Desert Clearing

Despite sand's relatively low income and experience rates, the economy value of it is often much higher on most colors, leading many players to gather it in huge quantities and selling for profit as an extension of the Digger job payments. This method results in poor experience yield though can be the most profitable, depending on the color.
