Understanding the Crafting System
Before embarking on crafting your gear, it’s essential to comprehend how the crafting system functions within Prospecting. Crafting is relatively straightforward: players only need a selection of minerals and some in-game currency. However, there are crucial factors to consider.
Utilizing heavier or modified minerals can significantly enhance your chances of producing higher-quality gear. In essence, superior ingredients lead to better star ratings, which in turn elevate the statistics of your crafted equipment. The star-based rating is influenced by the quality of the raw materials and their weight. By prioritizing high-quality minerals, you can increase your ‘quality‘ meter stars, thus improving your end product’s potential.
For instance, when crafting a Gold Ring, aim to use the heavier gold mineral or modified types such as Pure Gold or Scorching Gold. The better modifier selected boosts the star rating of the crafted item, so it’s beneficial to use upgraded pans to acquire superior minerals.
Steps to Craft Equipment
Now that you’re acquainted with the required materials and their costs, follow these steps to craft your equipment in Prospecting:
- Visit the hut housing the Blacksmith NPC located in either Rubble Creek Sands or Rubble Creek Deposit islands.
- Look for a small iron anvil adjacent to the Blacksmith, marked with the word Crafting.
- Press the ‘E‘ key to interact with the anvil, opening the crafting catalog.
- Select the desired crafting recipe from the options available and click the View button located at the bottom right.
- Choose the necessary minerals from the left sidebar, then hit the Craft button to start crafting.
Equipping Your Crafted Gear
Prospecting supports three equipment slots: neck, charm, and ring slots. While players can craft multiple items, you are limited to one neck item and one charm item in use at any given time, along with a maximum of eight ring slots.
To equip items, select your Prospector Kit from the hotbar. Navigate to the Equipment tab and click the ‘Equip‘ button on your chosen item. You can unequip items anytime via the Equipped items section.
To access additional rings, players will need to unlock finger slots using Meteor shards. After six slots, unlocking the remaining two requires a payment of 239 Robux.
Rerolling Equipment Stats
Crafting products does not always guarantee optimal stats. If you find that your items haven’t performed as expected, you have the option to reroll their statistics by spending in-game cash earned during gameplay or utilizing Prospecting codes.
It’s important to note that the reroll cost varies based on the equipment’s rarity.Higher-tier items demand a greater investment to reforge. Additionally, repeating the reroll process for the same item will progressively raise the costs. To reforge equipment, follow these steps:
- Approach the Blacksmith NPC near the crafting area and press the ‘E‘ key to interact.
- Hold the equipment you intend to reroll, and select the dialogue option, ‘Can you reforge this?‘
- Spend cash based on your equipment’s rarity to reroll the stats.
- Alternatively, players can opt to use Robux for a chance at optimal stats.
This concludes our comprehensive guide on crafting recipes in Prospecting. What has been your most valuable crafted gear so far? If the results didn’t meet your expectations, remember to consider reforging your equipment for improved stats.
