*1.0 prospecting skill gives you Prospecting is the ability to see where veins are and see where you can mine locating of [[flintore]]veins in rock.*20.0 To start prospecting skill gives you the ability to see the quality of the ore vein.*40.0 prospecting skill gives you the ability to prospect , activate a [[saltpickaxe]].*60.0 prospecting skill gives you the ability to see when and right-click a vein will be depleted.* You cannot prospect gems. * All ores are regional. This means that when you prospect for example copper ore in a certain spotrock tile, there is a large chance that there will only be copper ore in a large area, and no other types of ore. * Ores on the home server are capped at 50qlselect Mining -> Prospect.

==Types of prospect quality==*Pretty bad: 1 - 30 At 20 skill you can estimate the qualityof a vein. <br> You can also detect the presence of [[flint]].*Normal: 30 - 50 qualityAt 40 skill you can detect the presence of [[salt]].*Good: 50 - At 60 quality*Very good: 60 - 70 quality*Utmost: 70 - 99 qualityskill you can estimate the remaining amount of ore in a vein.

==Messages for tile depletion==In descending orderAll ores are regional. Thus , 4 has plenty leftif you locate a vein of ore, 1 it is almost gone:highly likely there will be other veins of the same ore type nearby. Finding other ore types is unlikely, although exceptions exist.

'''3:''' "The All ore is starting veins have a maximum quality level. Ore veins on the [[home server]] are limited to deplete"50 QL (normal).

'''2* Pretty bad:''' "The ore will run out soon"1-30 QL* Normal: 30-50 QL* Good: 50-60 QL* Very good: 60-70 QL* Utmost: 70-99 QL

'''1== Vein depletion == Ordered by decreasing ore supply:'''  * "only a few weeks mining remain here"* "The ore is starting to deplete"* "The ore will run out soon"* "you should start to prospect for another vein of this ore"

<br> <br>When you prospect e.g. iron ore on the surface that means that somewhere within a range of 3 tiles around you (including the tiles behind you) an iron vein is located. You then try to find the tiles where you can no longer prospect the ore. You need to find one North or Side edge, and one East or West edge. <br><br> 

You will have to reveal all the tiles in a 7x7 area to find the vein. * ‘O’ the tile you prospected* ‘X’ tiles that need to be mined out* ‘#’ you Note that I left 2 rows of tiles unmined between mined rows. This increases your chances of finding a 2nd vein that is beyond the reach of prospect. As you expand your mine, this pattern should be continued and expanded reveal all the tiles in your mines area.<br>
