In-game description

Prospector is an enchantment that can be found within the various weapons and armor of Minecraft Dungeons.

Tiers

Tier Effect Cost
I +100% increased chance 1 Enchantment Point
II +200% increased chance 2 Enchantment Points
III +300% increased chance 3 Enchantment Points

Usage

Any melee weapon, ranged weapon, or armor enchanted with Prospector increases the chance that a mob drops emeralds when killed. The chance increases with each tier, with the highest tier granting a +300% chance for mobs to drop emeralds. Prospector triggers upon any kill source, not just when a mob is defeated by the gear piece prospector is enchanted on.

Stacking

Prospector is stackable, meaning it can appear in multiple enchantment slots on an item, although there are exceptions. If Prospector is the built-in unique enchantment of an item, it can never appear in the gilded slot or other enchantment slots by any means. If Prospector appears in the gilded slot of an item, it never appears in the other three enchantment slots; however, by rerolling the item's enchantments using the enchantsmith, Prospector has the chance to appear even if it appears in the gilded slot.

When stacked, each extra Prospector effect is added onto the last. For example, two tier three Prospectors would grant a 600% increased chance to find emeralds, because the two 300% increased chances that a single tier three Prospector grants have been added together.

Built-into

Prospector tier I is built-into the following weapons:
