Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find specific rare minerals like Diamond or Painite?
Diamond spawns in Rubble Creek Sands, Rubble Creek Deposits, Fortune River, Sunset Beach, and Fortune River Delta. For best results, focus farming with 1000+ luck. Painite is exclusive to Fortune River, Sunset Beach, and Fortune River Delta, requiring similar luck optimization.
What’s the best location for new players to start farming?
Fortune River offers the perfect balance for beginners. It consistently spawns valuable minerals like Gold, Ruby, and Sapphire while maintaining good accessibility. The area provides steady income for equipment upgrades while offering chances at rare finds.
Should I sell high-rarity minerals or save them for crafting?
Generally save all Legendary and Mythic minerals for crafting or Museum displays. Epic minerals can be sold unless needed for specific crafting recipes. Always check current crafting requirements before selling valuable materials.
How does the Luck system actually work in Prospecting?
Each mineral discovery rolls a random number. Higher numbers = common minerals, lower numbers = rare minerals. Each point of Luck makes the game roll multiple numbers and keeps the best (lowest) result. This means 500 Luck gives you 500 chances to roll the best possible outcome.
What are the most valuable Museum effects to prioritize?
Focus on Luck-boosting minerals first, as luck improvements compound all other gains. Then prioritize Dig Speed and Shake Strength for farming efficiency. Capacity and Size Boost provide utility but aren’t essential early game.
Can I remove minerals from Museum displays?
Yes! You can replace any displayed mineral at any time without penalties. This flexibility allows you to optimize your Museum setup as you acquire better specimens.
Are modified minerals always better for Museum displays?
Modified minerals receive both base mineral effects plus additional modifier bonuses, making them objectively superior for Museum placement. However, weight also affects boost strength, so a heavy unmodified mineral might outperform a light modified one.
