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 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 piles of dirt or 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 stone.
- Be careful when dredging while swimming, as you will quickly run out of stamina and drown.
- A rowboat is 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, 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.
- 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 from the boat to use it.
- It is also a good idea to moor your ship or boat before dredging.
- You can dredge all kinds of materials, including clay, peat, tar, gems, and valrei items.
- It is much easier to see the bottom if you turn off water reflections in the game's video settings.
