Here’s a full step-by-step guide on how to craft the new Vortex Ring in Prospecting (Roblox), based on the latest update and everything we have learned from the wiki and Discord.
How to Craft the Vortex Ring in Prospecting
How to Craft the Vortex Ring in Prospecting
- The Void Arena spawns every 3 hours and stays open for 30 minutes.
- Alternatively, you can sometimes buy a Void Fragment from the Traveling Merchant to spawn it manually.
- This area is essential since the Void Stone (Exotic) only drops here.
2. Getting the Void Stone (Exotic)
- The Void Stone is an Exotic rarity crystal introduced in this update.
- Requirements:
- Luck helps a lot – use Luck Totems and Meteor boosts whenever possible.
- Drop rates are very low, so expect long grinds unless you get lucky.
- The stone weighs 2.6 kg and is used as the core ingredient for crafting the Vortex Ring.
3. Collecting Prisaras (Mythical)
- You need 2 Prisaras for the recipe.
- They are mythical crystals found mostly in cave areas.
- However, they can also rarely drop in the Void itself (which may be easier during boosts).
- Farming tips:
- Spend time in caves with luck boosts active.
- Expect hours of grinding since Prisaras are rarer compared to other mythicals.
4. Additional Mythical Crystals
- Recipe also requires 3 other mythicals, which can be gathered across caves and the Void.
- These are more common than Prisaras and shouldn’t take too long to collect.
5. Crafting Requirements
To craft the Vortex Ring, you’ll need:
- 1 Void Stone (Exotic)
- 2 Prisaras (Mythical)
- 3 other Mythical Crystals
- 333 Million Coins
- Craft at the Crafting Station once you have all items.
6. Vortex Ring Stats
Upon crafting (5-star guaranteed):
- +113 Luck
- +72 Dig Strength
- +260 Capacity
- Stars can be reforged for different stat rolls, but keep in mind reforging can trade Luck for Capacity or vice versa.
7. Ring Slots & Strategy
- By default, you can equip 6 rings.
- If you buy the 2 extra slots with Robux, you can hold 8 rings total.
- Stacking multiple Vortex Rings massively boosts your capacity and luck, but it’s extremely grind-heavy since Void Stones are very rare.
8. Efficiency Tips for Farming
- Always farm Void during its 3-hour cycle reset.
- Keep Luck Totems and Meteor boosts active when grinding.
- Focus on Prisaras early since they are the bottleneck in the recipe.
- Prioritize balance: don’t fill all slots with capacity rings—maintain Luck and Dig Strength for smoother grinding.
The Vortex Ring is one of the strongest accessories in Prospecting, giving a huge balance of Luck, Dig Strength, and Capacity. It’s not easy to craft—mainly because of the Void Stone and Prisaras—but once made, it significantly boosts your mining power. If you plan to grind multiple, set aside an entire week of Void runs.
