Roblox Dig totems are powerful area-of-effect (AoE) items that grant valuable buffs to every player within their radius, making them essential for XP farming, rare loot grinding, and boss events. With unique effects and activation requirements, each totem can turn an ordinary dig into a lucrative, team-powered event. Here’s your complete guide to every totem in Roblox Dig, including how to unlock them, their effects, stacking strategy, and optimal use.
What Are Totems in Roblox Dig?
Totems in Roblox Dig provide timed buffs to all players within a specific area. Up to three totems can be stacked in the same spot, maintaining all active effects until each totem’s duration ends. Buffs include boosts to XP, item rarity, boss damage, and more. Totems are activated after a certain number of items are dug up nearby. Some can be bought with Sheckles, others require Robux, and a few are only obtainable from quest rewards or special skills.
