== Description =='''Prospecting ''' is the a skill used for locating of [[:Category:Resources | orevein]]s, [[flint]], and [[salt]] veins in [[rock tile|rock]] when on the surface, and for getting estimations of vein contents while inside a mine. To start prospectingprospect, activate a [[Pickaxepickaxe]] and , right-click a rocktile[[rock tile]] or vein, and select "Mining -> Prospect". 20.0 prospecting skill gives you the ability to see the quality of the ore vein. == Wolfdog's Guide Layout for surface prospecting ==

X The area in which prospecting works is 7x7 with the player in the middle (the "o" represents the player). = no prospect =Notes==* Ore veins can't be searched for by prospecting when inside a [[cave]]; the player has to be on the surface. Surface prospecting of that ore <br><-- = last flint and salt is only for the single tile you did get prospected; nearby flint/salt tiles can't be prospected. For finding veins inside a prospect <br>cave, check out the [[Analyse|analysing]] page.3 = I recomend you start * [[Gem]]s appear randomly during all mining here <br>and cannot be prospected.<br>Prospect* All ores are slightly regional. Thus, if an ore vein is located, find 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. move East until * Prospecting can be done while moving, so long as you do not prospect that ore any more, move too far away (two tiles) from the last prospect that tile you didare currently working on. ==Skill levels ==Anyone can detect veins within 3 tiles on the surface. At higher skill levels, is additional abilities are unlocked (currently affected by the East edge[[The_curve|curve]] on [[Epic cluster|Epic]]): * 20 (10. Count 3 tiles west56 on Epic): Estimate the [[quality]] of a vein or rock tile, that is your N-S row where and detect flint when present** ''Note : Free to play seem to not get get this bonus either when prospecting on a rock surface outside or inside the mines.''* 40 (22.54 on Epic): Detect salt when present* 60 (36.75 on Epic): Estimate the remaining amount of ore isin a vein* 80 (55.28 on Epic) Exact quality when prospecting a tile underground (overrides prospecting 20 message)* 90 (68. If you do not have an East side 38 on Epic) Exact remaining hits (overrides prospecting 60 message) The same abilities are available, use when prospecting the vein inside the West sidemine. Repeat for the North or south side == Vein quality ==Rock tiles and ore veins have a maximum quality level. <br><br>This * Poor: 20-29 (can also prospect as "pretty bad")* Acceptable: 30-39* Normal: 40-59* Good: 60-79* Very good: 80-94* Utmost: 95-99 == Vein depletion ==If your prospecting skill is over 60 (36.75 on Epic), prospecting an ore vein will give you an estimate of how much ore is left there. Having over 90 skill will tell you the exact location number left. * "There is plenty of your ore. Ignore up left" ''(more than 10000)''* "Only a few weeks mining remain here" ''(between 5000 and 10000)''* "The ore is starting to deplete" ''(between 3000 and down on the sides 5000)''* "You should start to prospect for another vein of mountains when prospecting, only Nthis ore" ''(between 1000 and 3000)''* "The ore will run out soon" ''(between 100 and 1000)''* "The ore will run out any hour" ''(1-S100)'' == Player-E-W mattermade Tools =={{External}} * http://www.pvv.org/~magnusrk/wurm/prospect.html * https://www.wurmnode. <br>com/tool/shard_analyse<br>Sometimes grass==Notes==* Ceilings, clay walls and floors all give the same skill gain.* Quality of pickaxe (and sand can impede this process, rarity) are the only qualities which change the prospecting timer. ==Skills & Characteristics==* Prospecting == [[Titles]] ==* Prospector at 50 skill* Geologist at 70 skill* Goldsniffer at 90 skill* I am so it is best to find large surfaces Vein at 100 skill== See also ==* [[Mining]]* [[Tuning fork of rock to mine on. <br>metal detection]]* [[Analyse|Analysing]]
