Prospecting Guide Best Candy Farming Method!

Candy is one of the most valuable event currencies in Prospecting, especially during the Halloween update. Players have been finding new and faster ways to earn it, but one method stands above the rest — the Cauldron Method in the new Haunted Creek area. With the right setup, you can earn hundreds of candies per hour, even as a free-to-play player. Here’s a full breakdown of how this works.

The Haunted Creek & Cauldron System

The Haunted Creek area was introduced in the latest update, bringing a new feature called the Cauldron. This magical cauldron lets you convert Spooky and Ghostly modified ores into candies and other rare items.

To use it, simply place modified ores inside the cauldron. Once the brewing process completes (which takes about 30 minutes), you’ll receive rewards based on the quality score of the items you added. Higher-quality items give you more candies and better loot.

• Spooky ores: Highest quality bonus (best for candy gain)
• Ghostly ores: Slightly lower quality, but still very effective

If you want maximum efficiency, prioritize Spooky items whenever possible — they give double the quality compared to Ghostly ones.

Step-by-Step Candy Farming Method

1. Farm Legendary Items

Legendaries are the key to this method. Focus on farming them in Haunted Creek, since this area drops plenty of high-tier ores. With one dig, you can collect dozens of legendary ores, and many of them can roll Spooky or Ghostly modifiers.

2. Watch for the Hallow’s Eve Event

Every so often, a Hallow’s Eve global event will trigger. You’ll see a message like “The night has come, my servants!” appear in chat. During this event, your chance of finding Spooky-modified ores increases drastically — up to 10× higher.

Farm heavily during this period; it’s the fastest way to stockpile Spooky ores for your cauldron.

3. Use Solar Tokens or Magnifiers

Solar Tokens and Solar Magnifiers create glowing circles on the ground that give a modifier chance boost. Standing inside these circles significantly increases your odds of obtaining Ghostly and Spooky modifiers.

• Solar Tokens: Temporary modifier chance boost areas
• Solar Magnifiers: Create your own Solar Token circle for 10 minutes

You can buy Solar Magnifiers for 150 candy or earn them from Excavation Sites A & B. Always stay inside these circles when farming ores.

4. Deposit Spooky & Ghostly Ores in the Cauldron

Once you have enough ores, go to the Cauldron and deposit them. Each brewing cycle takes 30 minutes, but you can spend 39 Robux to finish it instantly (optional). The average rewards per cycle:

• 10 Spooky Legendaries: 60–100 Candy
• 10 Ghostly Legendaries: 40–50 Candy

You’ll also receive items like Totems, Solar Tokens, and Candy Corn, all valuable for crafting and upgrades.

Bonus Tips for Maximizing Candy

• Keep your Modifier Boost above 100% in your stats — this improves your odds of rolling Spooky and Ghostly modifiers.
• Use builds that enhance your dig speed and modifier chance.
• Spooky Mask can be used once every 24 hours to scare NPCs for 1–4 candy per interaction, but this method is minor compared to the cauldron.
• Farm actively during Hallow’s Eve events — they make a massive difference in efficiency.

The Cauldron Method is hands down the best candy farming strategy in Prospecting. With just a few hours of focused farming in Haunted Creek, you can easily earn hundreds to thousands of candies, enough to buy every event blueprint and item.

Whether you go fully free-to-play or speed things up with Robux, this method remains the most efficient and rewarding in the game. Keep an eye out for Hallow’s Eve events, use your Solar Tokens wisely, and you’ll be topping the candy leaderboards in no time.
