Prospecting Volcano Update Guide, All Gears Stats, Quest Info & More!

The latest Prospecting update has brought a wave of fiery new content with the arrival of Magma Island, and at the center of it all is the Dragonflame Pan — a game-changing tool with massive potential for high-luck farming. From brand-new areas and mythic gear to powerful ores and modifiers, there’s a lot to unpack in this update. Here’s your full breakdown of what’s new and why the Dragonflame Pan might be the best pan in the game right now. Also check out the new Prospecting codes for more redeemable rewards.

How to Access Magma Island

To get started:

• Talk to the Ferryman NPC near the main island to travel to Calura Island.
• Unlock Waypoints as you explore to make fast-traveling easier.
• Increase your Toughness stat to at least 5 to access deeper regions like the Magma Furnace.

Before entering the volcano, you’ll need a Fire Opal to protect yourself from the intense heat. Bring one to the Flame Priest NPC, who will cast a fire resistance spell on you.

Dragonflame Gear Breakdown

Once you’re deep inside the Magma Furnace, you’ll find the new shop containing some of the best tools in the game — including the highly anticipated Dragonflame Pan and Shovel.

Dragonflame Pan – Stats & Overview

• Luck: 140
• Capacity: 180
• Shake Strength: 10
• Shake Speed: 110
• Size Boost: -25% (reduced ore size)
• Cost: 400 million

Despite the reduced ore size, this pan is a top-tier tool for high-luck grinding, especially if you’re farming rare materials. The shake speed is incredibly fast, and paired with the right enchants like Bless, you can push your luck stats well beyond 150.

Dragonflame Shovel

• Dig Strength: 50
• Dig Speed: 60
• Toughness Required: 5
• Cost: 400 million

Works especially well in flare zones, where modifier and size chances are boosted. It fills pans quickly — about as efficiently as using a 2x strength totem with older tools like the World Breaker.

Dragonflame Sluice

• Luck: 1,500
• Capacity: 125
• Efficiency: 2
• Toughness Required: 5
• Cost: 1.5 billion

A serious upgrade if you’re chasing rare drops and don’t mind the steep price tag. Can only be placed in moving water.

Quests and Exploration

You’ll find NPCs offering quests that reward large payouts:

• Volcano Monitoring NPC: Collect volcanic minerals like Zircon, Peridot, Pyronium, and Cinnabar for 10 million Sheckles.
• Paleontologist NPC (Windswept Beach): Investigate unique fossils like Dragon Bones and Ammonite Fossils for 3 million.

The environment here also features flare zones, which increase your chances of finding larger and more valuable deposits.

Enchanting and Crafting Upgrades

Head to the Crafting Area to enhance your gear. The Dragonflame Pan can be enchanted with powerful perks — Bless is particularly useful, giving:

• +10 Luck
• +25 Capacity

This effectively pushes your pan’s total luck to 150, which is double the luck of previous high-end pans like the World Shaker.

New Equipment: Phoenix Wings

You’ll also find new equipment in the crafting area: Phoenix Wings that comes with High luck boost! The item is going to reduces capacity instead of size (ideal for players focusing on rare drop farming). This gear complements the Dragonflame set well, offering alternate stat spreads for different playstyles.

Is the Dragonflame Gear Worth It?

If your goal is farming rare ores, mythic materials, or just boosting your loot yield, yes — the Dragonflame Gear is absolutely worth the investment. Its speed, luck, and synergy with new modifiers and flare zones make it a standout pick in this update. Just keep in mind:

• You’ll need 400 million Sheckles
• A Fire Opal to unlock the inner volcano
• Toughness 5 to access Magma Furnace

With proper setup and enchants, this pan becomes a powerhouse for late-game progression and loot farming. Whether you’re here for the high-tier loot or just want to explore the fiery new biome, this update offers some of the best content Prospecting has delivered. Gear up, enchant wisely, and start digging.
