advanced prospecting skills
Prospecting is the locating of [[:Category:Resources | ore]] veins in rock. To start prospecting, activate a [[Pickaxe]] and right-click a rocktile, select Mining -> Prospect.
*20.0 prospecting skill gives you the ability to see the quality of the ore vein.*30.0 prospecting skill gives you the ability to see when a tile contains [[flint]] or [[salt]] (i.e. "You will find a flint here!").*60.0 prospecting skill gives you the ability to see when a vein will be depleted.
==Types of prospect quality==
''Note: * means results may vary by 5 or 10more ql. ** means the ql can vary to asmuch as 15ql, raising the max ql to 85''
==Messages for tile depletion==
In decending order, 4 has plenty left, 1 is almost gone:
'''4:''' "only a few weeks mining remain here"
'''3:''' "The ore is starting to deplete"
'''2:''' "The ore will run out soon"
'''1:''' "you should start to prospect for another vein of this ore"

You will have to reveal all the tiles in a 7x7 area to find the vein.<br>‘’’O’’’ ‘O’ the tile you prospected<br>‘’’X’’’ ‘X’ tiles that need to be mined out<br>'''‘#''' ’ you<br>
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>
