Shovel items.

The Necessary/Unnecessary is for DMs to decide, not I! I do not agree nor disagree. More "sandbox" items are always great.

Just a useless RP item "Shovel" like the length of rope would make me happy, tbh, Bonus if it's a quarterstaff so I can have a shovel weaponmaster.

This suggestion is.. non-specific about what exactly you want. Shovels, yes. Just simply something like a mundane rope item for RP purposes?

Yes, that would be good already! Shops could sell a 'Shovel', a useless item for RP purposes. I thought it could be a weapon, but then, not all classes would be able to use it. As for the implementation of a whole new system, well, of course it would be nice, but I have no idea of how that could be, so, I won't be suggesting this.

Every race and class in the game can use a Club. Just sell a Club with -1 AB and the name Shovel.

I'd much rather have a burying/digging system than a regular item, though that would just be more work for DMs for flavor.

Burying and digging are great in a lot of avenues of RP. Burying messages, digging/burying corpses to avoid them being raised, going treasure hunting, burying your own treasure (Armor, etc, from dead people until it stops being so well known and digging it up again to use), etc.

Free persistant hidden loot mounds via shovels please. Unlimited space. I'd fill mine with harvested citizen stones.

Yeah, Small shovel. That'd do.

I think an RP item would be good, yeah.

A burial system if limited to say 1-2 items would be great for dead drops and buried loot for non-dominion PC emergency caches. Space to leave an item and a note, or a letter with money for a deniable contact. I've always wanted to, for example, do shady deals by leaving the money at a location then picking up the items later, but the persistent chests are no good as everyone knows where they are, so they're never used really. All you can do is booby-trap them for security.

I'm sure it'd be a fair amount of work but the payoff would be interesting PC-driven plots and deals.

Reading this topic, I immediately had flashbacks to the Legend of Zelda games where you got a shovel and would dig up every single square of ground to find special treasures.
 
Anyway, I see absolutely no reason why this should be added to EfU other than flavor for RP.
 
Seriously, what exactly is wrong with just emoting that you have a shovel in your pack if the actual item does not exist? If you're that intent on getting an actual item for something like that, get the pickaxe that is already IG.
 
A complicated digging/burying system warrants more reason than 'it would be cool' IMO.

I don't feel comfortable RPing having something that I don't. Would you  RP that you have a rope even if you don't? I would instead go to the  shop and buy one, even if that mechanically does not do anything, then  RP I'm using it. The same thing with a shovel. And that is why I suggested this. A simple shovel available for sale, with no mechanical uses.

Can I learn how to use the mining pick first? I mean, is this thing only for Rp'ing. Stand in front of some rock and type /c efuss roll mining and waalaaa. Some earth is moved but only in my mind.
