All Prospecting Minerals Listed
Below you'll find a full list of all Minerals in Prospecting as well as where to find them and their values. Note that besides selling, Materials also have a high value for crafting so check the Blacksmith anvil for crafting recipes and what materials you need. Don't sell these materials and you can lock them to make them unsellable by right-clicking on them in your inventory. Also note that you should keep Aurorite and Aetherite for Enchanting and some early-game items like Ruby or Emerald for Quests.
Tip: The higher your Luck the greater your chances for higher rarity Minerals so boosting Luck is your gateway to Legendaries and Mythics. I'll explain how Luck works mathematically in detail below the Mineral list as well as all the methods to boost it.

All Modifiers in Prospecting
In addition to digging out Minerals you can also sometimes find Minerals with special modifiers. These modifiers increase the base sell value of a Mineral so that they yield more cash. The rarer the modifier the bigger the % value increase. Here are all the modifiers so far:
- Shiny
- Glowing
- Iridescent
- Scorching
- Irradioactive
Modifier Tip: The Unstable Enchant (2% Chance Roll) increases the sell value of all modifiers by +25% with its modifier boost.
How Luck Works in Prospecting
Here's everything you need to know about the Luck stat in Prospecting and how it works:
- Rarity Mechanic: Each time you get a Mineral in Prospecting the game rolls a number for that Mineral in the background. The lower the number the higher rarity that Mineral will be.
- What Does Luck Do: Each point of Luck you have is the amount of times the game rolls Mineral rarity for a Mineral keeping the best/lowest value as we explained above. For example if you have Luck 4 and you get a Mineral the game will roll let's say (4,2,3,4) with the final roll being 2 since it's the lowest/best rarity value. So the higher Luck you have the more chances you have for the Mineral to be of a higher rarity.
- Luck Modifiers: Luck also has a set chance to either be weakened or not apply for individual item rolls. This is so that Common rarity items don't become unobtainable at high Luck stats. This is why you might get 3 or 4 Common Minerals even if you have 500 Luck.
- All in All: Luck just increases your opportunities to get higher rarity items and doesn't guarantee them. You can still get unlucky with high luck or get lucky with low luck.
All Ways to Boost Luck in Prospecting
Here are all the ways you can increase your Luck stat for the rarest Minerals possible:
- Get the Best Pan You Can: Pan stats include Luck so try to get the best Luck on a Pan that you can.
- Enchants: The Lucky (+5 Luck) or Blessed (+10 Luck) Pan Enchants boost Luck.
- Items: Craft items that boost Luck.
- Potions: Buying Luck potions boosts Luck. Note that potion effects are time-sensitive and activate immediately after you buy them so be ready.
- Luck Totem: You can boost Luck by x2 by placing a Luck Totem and standing near it. Buy Luck totems at the Shard Merchant in Fortune River Town. They last a limited time the same as potions.
- Friend Bonus: If you have friends playing in the same server as you you'll get a small Luck boost for each friend.
- Codes: Check out our Prospecting Codes and you'll find some that grant a Luck bonus for a limited time when claimed. Note that Luck bonuses from codes stack in value and not time so if you claim two Luck codes that last half an hour and grant 10 Luck, they'll both last half an hour (not 1 hour) and grant 20 Luck.
That's it for my guide on All Minerals in Prospecting. Be sure to check out our codes above to claim free goodies.
