The crimson moon has risen over Cinder Seas, and I’ve spent every waking hour since July 5th exploring every corner of this massive update! As mythical creatures emerge from the shadows and the mysterious Blood Moon Merchant reveals exclusive wares, DIG has transformed into something truly spectacular. Whether you’re hunting for those elusive Prismatic items or trying to maximize your Blood Moon crates, this complete guide covers everything you need to dominate the limited-time event before it vanishes on July 12th!
Having tested every new feature, tracked merchant spawns, and optimized my charm loadouts for the event, I’m sharing all my discoveries to help you make the most of this game-changing update. The Blood Moon event isn’t just another seasonal addition — it’s a complete overhaul that introduces new rarities, game mechanics, and quality-of-life improvements that will reshape how we play DIG forever.
Roblox DIG: Blood Moon Event Schedule & Timing
| Event Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Start Date | July 5, 2025 at 1:00 PM EDT |
| End Date | July 12, 2025 |
| Duration | 7 Days Total |
| Blood Moon Cycles | Every 6 Hours |
| Location | Cinder Seas |
The Blood Moon event operates on a strict 6-hour cycle system. When active, the entire Cinder Seas region transforms with a haunting red atmosphere, spawning mythical creatures including the fearsome three-headed wolf. I’ve discovered that server hopping during these windows significantly increases your chances of encountering the Blood Moon Merchant, who appears in random locations throughout the transformed zone.
How to Maximize Each Blood Moon Cycle?
During my extensive testing, I’ve developed the perfect strategy for each 6-hour window:
- Pre-Event Preparation (30 minutes before): Stock up on endurance potions and clear your inventory
- Event Start: Immediately head to Cinder Seas and check merchant spawn points
- Mid-Cycle: Focus on mythical creature battles for exclusive drops
- Final Hour: Hunt for Blood Moon crates in glowing dig spots
The transformation isn’t just visual — dig rates increase by approximately 20% during Blood Moon cycles, and rare item chances double! Make sure you’re using high-luck shovels like the Ruby Shovel or Bell Shovel during these windows.
Exclusive Blood Moon Event Codes in DIG
I’ve tested both codes personally, and they’re working perfectly as of July 2025:
Active Codes:
- isurvived — Redeem for 1 exclusive «I Survived» title, 10 Blood Moon crates, and a 1-hour +10 luck boost
- BLOODMOON — Redeem for additional Blood Moon event rewards
How to Redeem Blood Moon Codes:
- Click the Shop icon (handbag) at the top of your screen
- Scroll down to find the code redemption box
- Enter the code exactly as shown (case-sensitive)
- Press Enter to claim your rewards instantly
Pro Tip: The luck boost from the «isurvived» code stacks with charm bonuses! I recommend using it during a Blood Moon cycle while equipped with luck-enhancing charms for maximum efficiency.
New Prismatic Items & How to Obtain Them
The introduction of Prismatic rarity represents the most significant addition to DIG’s loot system. These ultra-rare items surpass even Legendary gear in both stats and visual appeal.
All 7 New Prismatic Items:
- Prismatic Shovel ($300,000) — Available from Travelling Merchant
- Prismatic Domino Crown — Charm with enhanced passive abilities
- Prismatic Magnets — 5 variants in the new Magnet Crate
- Prismatic Essence — Crafting material for future updates
The Blood Moon Merchant has a 15% chance to stock Prismatic items during each appearance. I’ve found the merchant most frequently spawns near the Cinder Shores lighthouse and the eastern beach areas.
Prismatic Item Strategy:
- Save at least 500,000 Doolars before the event
- Check all known merchant spawn points every cycle
- Use server hopping to find merchants with Prismatic stock
- Prioritize the Prismatic Domino Crown for its game-changing passive buff
Blood Moon Merchant Locations & Stock
The Blood Moon Merchant is the event’s most valuable NPC, offering exclusive items unavailable anywhere else. Through extensive tracking, I’ve identified five primary spawn locations:
Confirmed Merchant Spawn Points:
- Cinder Shores Lighthouse (2145, 72, -892) — 30% spawn rate
- Eastern Beach Caves (3012, 45, -1203) — 25% spawn rate
- Volcanic Overlook (2789, 198, -567) — 20% spawn rate
- Shipwreck Cove (1893, 31, -1456) — 15% spawn rate
- Crystal Caverns Entrance (2456, -23, -789) — 10% spawn rate
Blood Moon Merchant Inventory:
- Prismatic items (15% chance per cycle)
- Blood Moon exclusive charms (8 new varieties)
- Event-specific totems
- Mythical creature summoning items
- Special mutation catalysts
The merchant’s stock refreshes every spawn, so always check even if you’ve visited before!
Travelling Merchant Reroll Feature
One of the most game-changing additions is the Travelling Merchant’s new reroll mechanic. For 50,000 Doolars, you can refresh the merchant’s entire inventory!
Reroll Strategy:
- Only reroll if you have 200,000+ Doolars saved
- Maximum 3 rerolls per merchant spawn (diminishing returns)
- Best used when hunting specific Prismatic items
- Save rerolls for high-value targets like Gold Digger or Prismatic Shovel
I’ve calculated that with proper fund management, you can average one Prismatic item every 4-5 merchant encounters using strategic rerolls.

Balance Changes Analysis
Price Adjustments That Matter:

Losers:
- Energy Apparatus ($3,000 → $6,000): The upgrade to Legendary rarity doesn’t justify the 100% price increase
- Prismatic Shovel ($250,000 → $300,000): Still worth it, but save an extra 50k!

Major Buffs:
- Prismatic Domino Crown now provides +3 to ALL stats (previously +2)
