## Uses

The Steel Spade is used for **Digging** — digging soil and uncovering buried finds.

A better tier spade works faster on the same nodes, so upgrade as soon as your Crafting level allows.

## Upgrade Path

> **Note:** Bronze, Iron and Steel use the **Crafting** skill. Arcane uses the **Arcane** skill — the levels below are not on the same track.

| Tier | Spade | Level |
|------|--------|-------|
| Bronze | [Bronze Spade](/Items/Tools/BronzeSpade) | 1 |
| Iron | [Iron Spade](/Items/Tools/IronSpade) | 6 |
| Steel | [Steel Spade](/Items/Tools/SteelSpade) **(this page)** | 9 |
| Arcane | [Basic Arcane Spade](/Items/Tools/BasicArcaneSpade) | 2 |
