- "This shovel's been added to the "living" tool series. You only need half the digging power compared to other shovels. It's a must for any serious developers."
- — Atelier Meruru description
The Living Shovel is a synthesized item in Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland.
It is part of the living tools set. All of the recipes in this set are given to you by Rorona after your alchemy level reaches 20.
Meruru will need to make and deliver several of these for development at Handel Forest during the Handel Forest III development quest. In Year 4, Peter may ask Meruru to bring him a shovel during Peter's Dream I.
