Prospecting Mineral Pricing Explained
If you see the mineral above, you will notice a huge selling price difference as you go down the list. That’s because each mineral follows a different pricing tier. So, here’s a quick breakdown of how mineral prices work in Prospecting:
- Rarity: Rarity plays the major role in making a mineral more valuable. The higher the tier of a mineral is, it sells for more price. To improve your chances of finding better minerals, you must use better Prospecting pans.
- Weight: The weight of a dug-up mineral is important for its final selling price. Every mineral in Prospecting has a defined cash/kg rate, which means the heavier the find, the more money you make.
- Modifiers: Minerals have a chance to be modified when dug up, which increases their selling price by a huge margin. Higher-tier pans such as Meteoric, Aurora, and Diamond offer a much better shot at finding Modified minerals. Enchanting pans can give special abilities that help find better modifiers.
