Prospecting enchants: How to get them, and their effects

In Prospecting, enchants are similar to power-ups for your pan. They affect your pan's base stats, such as luck, capacity, and shake strength, as well as provide diverse modifiers. Notably, a few of them can also reduce your pan's stats in exchange for boosting others. This makes it vital for players to know each enchant's bestowed effects.

This guide details the availability and effects of each enchant in Prospecting.

All enchants in Roblox Prospecting

Some enchants are obtainable exclusively via the Traveling Merchant (Image via Roblox)

A pan can possess a single enchant at a time. However, it is always possible to re-enchant the equipment to get better effects.

The primary way to get enchants is by using Aetherite or Aurorite at the Mysterious Altar. When either of the minerals is placed on the altar, the user gets an enchant on their equipped pan, determined by the game's RNG system.

Another way to get enchants is via Enchant Books. Such items are sold by the Traveling Merchant, who spawns every hour at random locations. It must be noted that some enchants can be applied only via Enchant Books and cannot be obtained from the Mysterious Altar.

The following table features all enchants, their availability, and their stat effects:

What is the best enchant?

According to the general consensus, Prismatic is the best enchant in Prospecting. It boosts every stat of your pan and also gives a 10% Modifier Boost.

Squarely an end-game item, you'll need $20,000,000,000 or 5000 Meteor Shards to purchase the Prismatic Enchant Book from the Traveling Merchant. What makes it more difficult to obtain is its low chance of appearing in the merchant's stock.

Before getting the Prismatic enchant, consider using Titanic, Midas, or Unstable on your pan. They offer great modifiers and help you earn more Money by selling minerals.
