Improving * The [[quality]] of the [[rope]] affects your success chance.* The quality of the [[square piece of cloth]] affects the initial quality of the dredge .* Failure damages both the [[rope]] and the [[square piece of cloth]].* Improvement uses [[blacksmithing]] skill but [[carpentry ]] tools : [[mallet]], [[file]], [[carving knife]], [[pelt]], and [[log]].* Dredging works similar to digging, though you can be embarked on a boat or ship to dredge. Move on top of the corner you want to dig at, right-click the boat or ship you are on, and select ''Dredge''. The dredged material appears inside the boat.* In order to level a tile to flat, you must be over an already-flat tile that is next to the nearby tile that is to be flattened. The ''Level'' option will only appear on tiles outside of the boat and logsvery near.* On bigger ships, but improves blacksmithing skillyou may have to embark as a passenger to get the option to dredge, because as the commander you might technically be too far away from the boat to use it.* It is also a good idea to [[mooring anchor|moor]] your ship or boat before dredging.* You can dredge all kinds of materials, including [[clay]], [[peat]], [[tar]], [[gems]], and [[valrei item|valrei items]].* It is much easier to see the bottom if you turn off water reflections in the game's video settings.
To use a dredge, while in a boat such as a Small Rowing boat, you simply float on top of the tile you want to dredge, and right click the tiles below and select "Dredge". Dredging will also make the tile you dredged steeper, just like normal digging. There is no specific boat to dredge from. There is no such boat as a "Dredger".[[Category:Tools]][[Category:Babel/D]]
Updated the Dredge page to follow the new examine-text format by moving the in-game examine text into the itemBox with |examine=. Added a practical Description section, cleaned up Usage and Notes formatting, improved wording, and added links for related terms such as shovel, water, quality, clay, stamina, rowboat, and rock tile.

== Description ==
A '''dredge ''' is a tool used to gather materials from underwater tiles and to dig below the depth that can normally be reached with a [[shovel]]. == Usage == * The dredge's main use is digging from below [[water]] level, since digging with a [[shovel]] can only be done down to 7 dirt from under the below water level. Maximum depth is determined by your * Dredge [[quality]] and [[digging ]] skillaffect the maximum depth you can dredge. * You need cannot dredge at a boat to depth greater than 180 dirt below sea level.* A dredgecan hold 2 [[pile of dirt|piles of dirt]] or [[heap of sand|heaps of sand]] (40 kg), or 36 [[clay]] (72 kg), before it requires emptying. ** When dredging, there must be space in the dredge and in the ship for the materials you would acquire.* You may not in a dredge [[rock tile|stone]].* Be careful when dredging while swimming, as you will quickly run out of [[stamina]] and drown.* A [[rowboat]] is the best boat you can only to dredge from, as it is easier to see the same depth as tiles below you could dig with a shovel (2 dirt deep)than on other boats. == Notes ==
