''A wooden bucket on a long shaft. Holes have been made in the bottom and the interior is lined with cloth to keep the dirt.''
The cloth determines success rate, the rope determines inital QL. A '''dredge holds 36 liters, ''' is a tool used to gather materials from underwater tiles and to dig below the depth that can contain liquidsnormally be reached with a [[shovel]]. == Usage ==
Improving * The dredge's main use is digging from below [[water]] level, since digging with a [[shovel]] can only be done down to 7 dirt below water level.* 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 uses carpentry tools [[rock tile|stone]].* Be careful when dredging while swimming, as you will quickly run out of [[stamina]] and logsdrown.* A [[rowboat]] is the best boat to dredge from, but improves blacksmithing skillas it is easier to see the tiles below you than on other boats.
To use a * 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, while in though you can be embarked on a boat such as a Small Rowing boat, you simply float or ship to dredge. Move on top of the tile corner you want to dredgedig at, and right -click the tiles below boat or ship you are on, and select "''Dredge"''. Dredging will also make The dredged material appears inside the boat.* In order to level a tile to flat, you dredged steeper, just like normal diggingmust be over an already-flat tile that is next to the nearby tile that is to be flattened. There is no specific The ''Level'' option will only appear on tiles outside of the boat and very near.* 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 too far away fromthe boat to use it. There * It is no such also a good idea to [[mooring anchor|moor]] your ship or boat as a "Dredger"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.
Dredging is for most purposes identical to digging on land. Thus dredging on dirt or sand lowers the terrain, while dredging on clay does not. The dredged items appear inside the dredge. The dredge can only hold two dirt or sand, so make sure you have access to the ship hold. Tar, peat and clay take less space, and the dredge does not need to be emptied as often.[[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 ==
== Dredging Notes ==A dredge is used to dig dirt from under the water level. Maximum depth is determined by your digging skill. You need a boat to dredge. When not in a boat you can only dredge to the same depth as you could dig with a shovel (2 dirt deep).
