New players in Roblox Prospecting can enchant their pan and simultaneously complete a quest. To start, head to the Rubble Creek Deposits area, turn right, and speak to the NPC Archaeologist. You'll find him beside a pillar marked with blue runic symbols.

If you agree to help the Archaeologist complete his research, he will give you the "Enchant your pan" quest. The rewards for completing it are $250,000, 10,000 EXP, and 250 Meteor Shards.

Get Aurorite or Aetherite

The Archaeologist will hint that Aurorite or Aetherite are catalysts for the enchanting process in Roblox Prospecting. You can find both minerals via the usual gameplay. However, since they are extremely rare, players often have to rely on luck boosters to obtain them.

There are three ways to improve your chances of finding Aurorite and Aetherite:

• Utilize Luck Potions: You can buy such potions from the Alchemist's shop with the in-game currency. When used, they improve your chances of finding rarer minerals.
• Capitalize on Luck Totems: Often, you'll find other players digging near Luck Totems. The said items drastically improve your chances of getting Aurorites and Aetherites. You can also buy them from the Robux Shop
• Dig during Meteor Shower event: The Meteor Shower is a rare event that improves the luck multiplier for all players in a server.

Only Aurorite and Aetherite can be used to enchant a pan. If you try to use some other material in the enchantment table, the game shows, "This isn't a valid enchantment material."

Interact with the enchantment table

Once you have obtained the required minerals, you can enchant a pan by following these steps:

• Equip either an Aurorite or Aetherite and head back to Rubble Creek Deposits.
• Interact with the enchantment table near the Archaeologist.
• Choose the “Use this to enchant my pan” option.
• Click on "Yes" to confirm that you want to enchant a pan.

Upon completing the final step, an on-screen message will notify you about the enchantment on your pan. For instance, if you received Midas, it will mention, "Enchanted with Midas."
