If you want to reach peak power in Prospecting, crafting the ultimate equipment build is key. In this guide, we’ll walk through the exact gear setup, crafting process, reforging tips, and gameplay testing that will get you ready for the endgame grind. This build balances all important stats and maximizes your digging efficiency.
Current Gear Setup Overview
Before the final upgrade, the setup included:
- Phoenix Heart
- Fossilized Crown
- Four Apocalypse Bringer rings
- Two Prismatic Star rings
- Two Solar rings
The goal? Upgrade to the best build in the game by crafting two additional Prismatic Stars to complete the ideal ring combination.
Crafting the Last Two Prismatic Stars
Materials Required
To craft a Prismatic Star ring, you need:
- Diamond
- Prismara (a rare, hard-to-find item)
- Pink Diamond
- Balite
- Aluminum
- Starshine
With all materials gathered, crafting begins.
Crafting Process
- Both rings are crafted as guaranteed 5-star quality items.
- Initial quality ratings were 70% and 65%, which meant reforging was necessary.
Reforging to Maximize Stats
Reforging is crucial to push ring quality above 80%, ensuring optimal performance. Here’s the reforging summary:
- First ring reforged up to 92% quality — an outstanding result.
- Second ring reforged up to 86% quality — also very strong.
Both reforged rings replaced the lower quality Apocalypse Bringer rings in the setup.
Final Build Breakdown
The ultimate ring combination now is:
- 2 Solar Rings
- 4 Prismatic Star Rings
- 2 Apocalypse Bringer Rings
Together with the Phoenix Heart and Fossilized Crown, this forms the best all-around build.
How the Stats Changed
After equipping the new rings, here’s what happened to the player’s stats:
| Stat | Change | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Luck | Slight decrease | A trade-off for other powerful boosts |
| Strength | Slight decrease | Balanced for overall efficiency |
| Capacity | +70 increase | More inventory space for digging |
| Dig Speed | +40% increase | Faster digging improves overall output |
| Shake Strength | -4 decrease | Slightly less shake power but manageable |
| Shake Speed | +40% increase | Quicker shaking to clear nodes |
| Sell Boost | Decreased | Less focus on money, more on digging |
| Size Boost | +40% increase | Larger pans for better item collection |
| Modifier Boost | +30% increase | Boosts rewards from items dug up |
This setup balances all critical stats without sacrificing any single aspect too much, making it the best all-around build.

Final Thoughts & Tips
