Want to dig up the rarest ores and rake in the biggest payouts? Luck is your most important stat in Prospecting. Follow this straightforward guide to stack every buff, potion, and piece of gear so you can reach—and maybe even break—the 1,500‑luck mark. Also check out our Volcano UPD Guide, and Codes for Prospecting for easier beginning or early games.


1. Claim Your Free +5 Luck Bonus

Log in for five days in a row to unlock the “Ancient Blessing” bonus. This permanent +5 Luck shows up in your bottom‑left HUD as soon as you hit Day 5.

2. Upgrade Your Pan (and Shovel)

Every tier of pan adds Luck:

  • Diamond Pan grants around +35 Luck
  • World Shaker Pan jumps you to +70 Luck
    Unlock the Earth Breaker shovel and World Shaker pan (hidden behind a secret cave door) to get those big boosts.

3. Stack All Your Potions

Head to the Alchemist Shop and buy both Basic and Greater versions of:

  • Luck Potions
  • Capacity Potions

These four potions stack with each other—and with everything else—so grab at least an hour of each before you start farming.

4. Buy Totems from the Shard Merchant

  • Luck Totem (300 Shards)
  • Strength Totem (optional for faster digging)

Place your Luck Totem before a big run. It won’t disappear until you pick it up again, and it adds a hefty flat Luck bonus.

5. Gear Up: Rings, Necklaces & Charms

Visit the Crafting Table and prioritize easy‑to‑make gear that boosts Luck, Dig Speed, and Shake Speed all at once. The Moon Ring is a solid start—you only need Moonstones and Iridium to craft it. As you gather more mythic ores, work toward higher‑tier accessories.

6. Reforge for Even Better Stats

Take your newly crafted ring or necklace to the Blacksmith and reforge it. This rerolls your item’s Luck (and other stats) for a chance at higher minimums. Expect to spend some currency here, but the payoff is huge.

7. Time It with Meteor Showers

Meteors double your Luck for 20 minutes. They spawn randomly, but you can also trigger them instantly for 150 Robux if you’re impatient. Wait for a meteor (or buy one) before placing your potions and Totem, then start digging immediately.

8. Crunch the Numbers

  • Base Luck from pan, blessings, and gear
  • +Potion Luck from Basic & Greater Luck Potions
  • +Totem Luck from Luck Totem
  • ×2 during Meteor Shower

With all buffs active, you should see your Luck climb well into the 1,200–1,500 range. That’s where the legendary and mythic ores start falling consistently.

9. Keep Your Inventory Organized

Use your hotbar’s search function after each full backpack to favorite any high‑value items (legendaries and mythics). That way you never accidentally sell something you’ll need later for crafting.


Stack everything—login bonuses, pan upgrades, potions, totems, craftables, reforges, and meteors—and you’ll hit that sweet spot of 1,500 Luck. With these tips, you’ll be clearing pans in two hits and pulling mythics in no time. Good digging in Prospecting.
