'''Prospecting''' is a skill used for locating [[ore vein]]s, [[flint]], and [[salt]] in [[rock tile|rock]] when on the surface, and for doing getting estimations of vein contents while inside a mine. To prospect, activate a [[pickaxe]], right-click a [[rock tile]] or vein, and select "Mining > Prospect".
== Layout for surface prospecting ==
</pre>
The area in which prospecting works is a 7x7 with the player in the middle (the "o" represents the player).
==Notes==
* Ore veins can't be searched for by means of prospecting when being inside a [[cave]]; the player has to be on the surface. Surface prospecting of flint and salt is only for the single tile prospected; nearby flint/salt tiles can't be prospected. For finding veins inside a cave, check out the [[Analyse|analysing]] page.* [[Gem]]s appear randomly during all mining, and cannot be prospected.
* All ores are slightly regional. Thus, if an ore vein is located, it is likely there will be other veins of the same ore type nearby.
* You can use a [[tuning fork of metal detection]] to determine the exact quality and mining operations left on a vein.
* Currently there is a bug where after you transmute a rock tile into a vein, it still gives you turns the resulting vein the quality of the rock tile you transmuted. Not the proper quality, which is 99ql, or utmost.
* Prospecting can be done while moving, so long as you do not move too far away (two tiles) from the tile you are currently working on.
==Notes==
* Wind of Ages and Stamina stamina have no effect on the Prospecting Timerprospecting timer.* Ceilings, Walls walls and Floors floors all give the same Skill Gainskill gain.* Quality of Pickaxe pickaxe ( and rarity ) are the only qualities which change the Prospecting Timerprospecting timer, and thus Skillgain skill gain (excl Sleep Bonusexcluding sleep bonus).
