Essential Pans for Prospecting
Pans serve as the core component of your setup in Prospecting. They determine foundational attributes like Luck, Capacity, Shake Strength, and Shake Speed, with some offering additional perks. Prioritize upgrading your pan before investing in other tools.
Understanding Pan Attributes
- Luck: Influences the likelihood of discovering rare materials, scaling directly with its value (e.g., 500 Luck offers 10x higher chances than 50 Luck).
- Capacity: Determines average ore quantity and size, calculated as the square root of the Capacity value (e.g., 400 Capacity ≈ 20 ores).
- Shake Strength: Affects progress per shake during the mini-game.
- Shake Speed: Reduces cooldown between shakes in the mini-game.
