Dig It Lunar New Year Event guide – Destructoid

If you liked the Meteors update Dig it, The Lunar New Year event will be the perfect content to prepare for.

The update, released over the weekend, focuses on a completely new island that is now available in the game. This also marks the introduction of magnets, which will be extremely important if you’re trying to find high-ranking loot. Let’s take a look at how to complete this event and what rewards you can get.

How to get to New Year’s Island in Dig It

Lunar New Year Island can be easily found near Mole Island. It can be reached from Noobville, the starting island. Almost the entire island can be excavated, making it useful for mining valuable treasures.

There are 24 new items to find on the island. Three of these items are legendary, and two are mythical. To improve your chances, you can use magnets in your setup. The New Year’s event also featured legendary and mythical magnets. If you couldn’t tell from their names, these Magnets guarantee that you’ll end up with an item of the same rarity.

Lunar New Year Island is available in Dig it until January 31, 2025as this is a venue exclusively for events.

Lunar New Year features three unique gifts as part of the celebration. Like the 24 new treasures, these three items are also hidden in the area. To get them you will have to dig them up. However, these three items have different dates on when you can open them.
