Prospecting

Prospecting is a job where you try your luck at metal detecting. See what treasures lay below! Prospecting will give you both Strength and Mining XP and you may also dig up items that increase your luck at Fishing.

Getting Started

2. Head over to the current prospecting area indicated on the map by
3. Press E to start prospecting.
4. Roam the 200m prospecting circle hunting for treasure. Prospecting works like a game of hot and cold, when you get close to something beneath the ground a green circle will appear, it will transition from Green to Yellow to Red and the beeping frequency will increase as you get closer.
5. When you have located the treasure you will be prompted to dig, hit left click to do so.
6. Once dug up you will be rewarded with your treasure along with Strength and Mining XP.
   Keep in mind that digging up the same spot that's already being dug by another player will only reward the first person to dig.
