The Super Absorbant Sponge is an item that can be used to "absorb" water from the environment. When used on a tile occupied with water, it will delete the tile. The Super Absorbant Sponge can be used an unlimited amount of times. It works on water and shimmer, and has no effect on other liquids.

It has a 1/70 chance to be awarded by the Angler as a Fishing quest reward after the tenth quest.

The Super Absorbant Sponge can also drain water at a slightly faster speed than a standard empty bucket (especially when moving the cursor around while draining).

Tips

• Using the Super Absorbant Sponge below the surface of a water body briefly creates a pocket of air before the surrounding water can fill it in. If used over the player's head, the breath meter will be replenished, as the player's head will momentarily be considered to be out of the water.
• It can help keep the player from drowning when creating tunnels or exploring underground.
