Dig Clean Item Rarity

Dig Clean item rarity only becomes trustworthy after cleaning. Dig & Clean hides the punchline under dirt on purpose. Update 1.0 added Omega as the top tier above Mythic / Rainbow-style highs players already chased.

Dig Clean rarity principles

• Rarity labels appear on cleaned items — never trust dirty inventory guesses.
• Higher rarity usually means stronger museum priority and tourist Gold.
• Omega is the post-Update 1 ceiling (Omega Items guide).
• Volume of detect→dig→clean cycles is how you see more high-rarity rolls.
• Luck stacking (detector + island + codes) shifts the table (Luck Stacking).

Dig Clean rarity ladder (player-facing)

Exact mid-tier names can vary by UI color, but the practical ladder after Update 1 looks like:

Band	Typical Dig Clean action
Common / junk	Sell for Gold
Uncommon	Sell or keep for themes
Rare+	Museum candidate
Mythic / Rainbow-tier highs	Strong keep; sell duplicates
Omega	Top keep; screenshot; display first

Named Omega examples players share include Crystal Skull and Sapphire Skull — lists change with patches, so chase the farm loop, not a frozen checklist.

Dig Clean rarity and tools

• Detectors add Luck — the permanent rarity lever (Detector tier list).
• Shovels finish hard high-tier digs (Shovels).
• Spray bottles reveal the label faster (Spray bottles).
• Codes like SECRET10 add temporary Luck (Active Codes).
• Sphinx Sands adds island Luck (Islands).

Better tools do not “guarantee Omega,” but they increase how many Dig Clean reveals you finish per hour on the right map.

Dig Clean rarity actions

Dig Clean rarity myths to ignore

• Myth: codes always mint Omega — they boost Luck timers; you still dig and wash.
• Myth: DIG glowing hole colors apply here — wrong game (vs DIG).
• Myth: never sell rares — duplicates fund Platinum detectors and Sphinx unlocks.
• Myth: shovel Luck is a hidden stat — gear Luck is detector-driven.

Rarity knowledge turns Dig Clean from random spraying into intentional collecting.

Dig Clean rarity label reading practice

During your next session, read aloud the rarity on every clean before selling. That habit trains fast judgment when Omega finally prints.

Dig Clean rarity and island tiers

Later islands skew toward higher average rarity, but commons still exist. Cleaning still separates junk from treasure — even on Sphinx.

Dig Clean rarity logging

Use the museum checklist to note first-of-type Omegas and Mythics. Memory fades; a ticked checklist beats guessing.

Dig Clean rarity journal habit

Note the first time you see each rarity tier in a phone memo. Over a week you learn how often each tier appears with your current detector and island — better than forum drop-rate guesses.
