Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]
Appearing in the remakes, Dig is learned by Merchants at level 12. It can only be used five times per area until the screen is changed and digging will normally excavate 1~5 coins, but there is a 1⁄128 chance to unearth 50% of the party's gold.
There is also a 1⁄8 chance to dig up an item as well, but only in areas where monsters are present. The item is randomly selected from the list of those carried by local enemies, meaning an item with a 1⁄256 chance to drop can theoretically be raised to an eighth. However, due to the hard limit imposed on the chance to excavate items in the first place this actually makes digging for items less efficient than stealing, and Dig only appears in versions of III where Thieves can join the party anyway.

Dig is learned by Merchants at level 12 if their wisdom exceeds 46 points. The skill as the same properties as it did in the 1996 remake.
