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 * Dredge [[quality]] and [[digging]] skill affect the maximum depth you can dredge.* You cannot dredge at a depth greater than 180 dirt below sea level.* A dredge can 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 dredge [[rock tile|stone]].* Be careful when dredging while swimming, as you will quickly run out of [[stamina]] and drown.* A [[rowboat]] is determined by the best boat to dredge from, as it is easier to see the tiles below you than on other boats. == Notes == * 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 skill, 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 very near. This limit * On bigger ships, you may have to embark as a passenger to get the option to dredge, because as the commander you might technically be different when dredging too far away from the boat to use it.* It is also a good idea to [[mooring anchor|moor]] your ship or boatbefore 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.
