- Dig faster in Dig For Eggs by upgrading your shovel before anything else
- Dig-speed pets like Magma Mole and Abyssal Reaper multiply your swing output
- Stack boosts from codes for short, high-efficiency digging sessions
- Manage stamina with wide tunnels instead of a single deep shaft
- Rebirth for permanent multipliers that speed up every future run
What Determines Dig Speed in Dig For Eggs
Your digging speed in Dig For Eggs is not just one stat — it is the combined result of four systems working together. Understanding how they stack is the first step to excavating eggs at a serious pace.
Dig For Eggs uses a stamina-based digging loop: each swing of your shovel breaks dirt blocks, consumes stamina, and regenerates stamina over time. Faster digging means more blocks broken per swing, lower stamina cost per swing, and quicker recovery between sessions.
Shovel Tier
- Biggest single impact on dig speed
- Higher tiers break more blocks per swing
- Reduces stamina cost per block
- Unlock via Coins in the upgrade shop
Pet Multipliers
- Passive dig-speed boosts while equipped
- Stack multiple equipped pets
- Trade duplicates for better dig-speed pets
- Magma Mole: x2 Dig Speed
Boosts & Codes
- Temporary dig-speed multipliers
- Redeem codes for free Dig Speed Boosts
- Activate before deep-layer farming
- Stack timing matters
Rebirth Multipliers
- Permanent speed gains per rebirth
- Resets progress, keeps multipliers
- Each run digs deeper, faster
- Long-term speed investment
If you have limited Coins, spend them in this order: shovel upgrades first, backpack second, pets third. Shovel upgrades pay for themselves fastest because they increase Coins earned per dig session immediately.
Dig Speed Comparison: Pets, Shovels, and Boosts
Not all speed sources are equal. This table breaks down how each layer of your setup contributes to total digging output.
| Speed Source | Effect | Cost / Source | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shovel Upgrade (each tier) | More blocks per swing, less stamina | Coins | ★★★★★ |
| Magma Mole | x2 Dig Speed, x1.5 Coins | 10% from Lava Egg (25,000 Coins) | ★★★★ |
| Abyssal Reaper | x4 Dig Speed, x5 Coins, x3 Luck | 15% from Void Egg | ★★★★★ |
| Dig Speed Boost code | Temporary x-speed boost | Free via Codes menu | ★★★★ |
| Dirt Dog | x1.1 Dig Speed | 75% from Dirt Egg | ★ |
| Rebirth multiplier | Permanent speed bonus per rebirth | Progress reset | ★★★★ |
Note that pet multipliers stack with shovel tiers, so a maxed shovel plus an Abyssal Reaper digs dramatically faster than either alone. The tier structure of eggs matters here too — deeper layers drop the eggs that hatch the best dig-speed pets.
Do not spend early Coins on cosmetic or low-tier eggs before your shovel is level 3 or higher. A stronger shovel gets you into mid-depth layers where Rare and Epic eggs spawn — that is where real speed pets come from.
Step-by-Step: Your Fast-Digging Setup
Follow this sequence to build a dig-speed setup that compounds over time.
Redeem every active code
Redeem all working codes through the Codes (Twitter bird) button for free Coins and Dig Speed Boosts. The RODARK code requires joining the RoDark Studios Roblox group first. Boosts apply instantly, so activate them right before a digging session.
Push your shovel to level 3+
Spend your starting Coins on shovel upgrades until you dig more blocks per swing. At level 3+, move from the surface layer into the mid-depth layer where Stone and Crystal eggs spawn.
Hatch every egg immediately
Never let eggs sit in your backpack. Place them in the hatchery right away so timers keep running — better pets take longer to hatch, so a full hatchery pipeline means a constant stream of new multipliers.
Equip dig-speed pets
Once you hatch a Magma Mole (Lava Egg) or better, equip it. Stack it alongside coin pets so every swing earns more and happens faster at the same time.
Rebirth when progression slows
When block health outpaces your upgrades, rebirth. You reset your gear but keep permanent multipliers, making every subsequent run reach deeper layers faster than the last.
A proven loop: redeem a Dig Speed Boost, dig a wide tunnel in the deepest layer your shovel handles, hatch everything immediately, sell duplicate pets, and reinvest Coins into the next shovel tier. Repeat until you can afford the next egg tier.
Tunnel Strategy: Where and How to Dig
Where you dig is just as important as how fast. Different layers hold different egg pools, so match your tunneling pattern to your goals.
| Layer | Main Eggs | Rarity Range | Best Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface | Dirt Egg | Common | Clear wide tunnels; high egg density |
| Mid-depth | Stone Egg | Uncommon | Wide tunnels once shovel is level 3+ |
| Deep | Crystal Egg | Rare | Balance width and depth |
| Bottom magma | Lava Egg | Epic | Needs strong shovel + speed pets |
| Event/deep finds | Golden / Void Egg | Legendary / Secret | Luck pets boost rare finds |
Wide tunnels consistently beat a single deep shaft for egg finds, because eggs spawn scattered throughout each layer rather than stacked vertically. A wide clearing pass at your highest reachable layer maximizes egg encounters per stamina spent.
Stamina management matters too: dig in focused bursts while stamina is full, then hatch and sell during regeneration windows instead of standing idle.
Luck pets like Royal Phoenix (x3 Luck) do not increase swing speed, but they increase rare egg finds per block dug — which means more value for the same digging time. Pair one luck pet with your dig-speed pets for the best results.

Fast Digging Milestones:
- Redeem all active codes for free Coins and boosts
- Upgrade shovel to level 3 or higher
- Hatch a Prism Dragon from a Crystal Egg for early luck
- Hatch a Magma Mole for x2 Dig Speed
- Reach the bottom magma layer with a tier-appropriate shovel
- Complete your first rebirth for permanent multipliers
FAQ
Q: How do I dig faster in Dig For Eggs?
Upgrade your shovel first — it breaks more blocks per swing and reduces stamina cost. Then equip dig-speed pets like Magma Mole (x2) or Abyssal Reaper (x4), redeem codes for temporary Dig Speed Boosts, and rebirth for permanent multipliers.
Q: Which pet gives the best dig speed boost?
The Abyssal Reaper from the Void Egg offers x4 Dig Speed plus x5 Coins and x3 Luck, making it the strongest all-around pet. The Magma Mole from the Lava Egg is a more accessible option with x2 Dig Speed.
Q: Should I dig one deep shaft or wide tunnels?
Wide tunnels. Eggs are scattered throughout each layer, so clearing a broad area at your deepest reachable layer finds more eggs per stamina than digging a single narrow shaft straight down.
Q: Do codes help with digging speed?
Yes. Some codes grant temporary Dig Speed Boosts — for example, HAPPYDIGGING includes a 10-minute Dig Speed Boost plus Coins. Redeem boosts right before a digging session for maximum value.
