In the Roblox mining experience called Prospecting, a roaming vendor periodically arrives across different zones, offering rare upgrades and luck modifiers for limited durations. His inventory varies per server, so strategic timing is crucial for securing exclusive enhancements. This overview explores key mechanics around locating and trading with this ephemeral shopkeeper.
