Prospecting Divine and Cosmic Guide

A recent prospecting update added two powerful new enchants—Divine and Cosmic—that can only be applied using Aetherite. These enchants boost your tool stats beyond anything available through traditional ores. This guide shows you how to farm Aetherite, apply the new enchants, and decide which one best fits your playstyle. Also check out our Prospecting Codes and Beginner Guide for new players!

What Is Aetherite and Where to Find It

Aetherite is a rare resource found along the Fortune River and Fortune River Delta. To collect it:

1. Travel to river rapids in the Fortune River region.
2. Dig along the riverbanks using a high-strength shovel.
3. Look for faintly glowing nodes—these yield Aetherite shards when mined.

You can expect to gather one or two shards per node. For sustained farming, bring potions or pets that boost luck and dig speed.

Divine and Cosmic Enchant Stat Info:

Once you’ve collected enough Aetherite, head to the Enchantment Table in the Caldera Island workshop. Each enchant attempt consumes one shard:

Divine Enchant (1% chance per shard)

• +20 Luck
• +40 Capacity

Cosmic Enchant (5% chance per shard)

• +50 Capacity
• +3 Shake Strength

These odds exclude lower-tier results—every Aetherite shard guarantees at least a 5% benefit, making the process more efficient than using standard ores.

Step-by-Step Enchantment Process

1. Select your tool, such as the Fossilized Pan.
2. Insert Aetherite shards one at a time.
3. Monitor the result: If you see “Divine,” you gain the top-tier boost. If you get “Cosmic,” assess whether its higher capacity and shake strength suit your needs.
4. Repeat until you secure your desired enchant or exhaust your shards.

Aetherite enchants unlock the highest possible boosts for your prospecting tools. By farming shards at the Fortune River, using luck potions, and choosing between Divine or Cosmic effects, you can tailor your equipment for maximum efficiency. Gather your Aetherite, head to the Enchantment Table, and upgrade your gear before the next event cycle begins. Good luck on your Prospecting adventures!
