Prospecting Void Update Guide – New Area, Rewards, and Blueprints

The latest Prospecting update introduces the mysterious Void area, a limited-time event space filled with rare items, new blueprints, and some of the hardest challenges yet. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of it.

Prospecting Void Update Guide – New Area, Rewards, and Blueprints

How to Enter the Void

• A black portal will randomly appear in areas like Fortune River Beach.
• Entering the portal transports you into the Void, a warped dimension with unique rules and challenges.
• The Void event lasts 30 minutes per opening, similar to the Infernal Heart event. After the timer ends, you’re kicked back to the normal world.

Tip: Keep an eye on the event banner at the top of your screen. It will say “The Void has opened” when a portal is active.

Void Objectives & Rewards

Inside the Void, you’ll encounter the NPC and special tasks:

Void Torn Items Quest

• Collect 100 Void Torn Items to complete the main quest.
• Rewards for completing:
  • $50 million cash
  • 250,000 XP
  • 1 Blueprint (Vortex Ring)
  • 1,000 Shards

This can be finished quickly if you focus on gathering Void items immediately after entering.

The 15,000 Item Gate

• A massive gate blocks deeper access to the Void.
• Requires 15,000 total minerals/items panned and crafted to unlock.
• Likely rewards: new shovel and pan upgrades.
• Progress seems to count for the entire group, so working with multiple players speeds things up.

Note: Completing this solo is nearly impossible within the time limit; team up if you want the gate open.

New Blueprint – Vortex Ring

Completing the 100 Void Torn Item quest grants the Vortex Ring blueprint.

Crafting Requirements:

• 1 Void Stone (new exotic mineral only found in the Void)
• 2 Prisra Mythicals
• 1 Volcanic Core (mythical)

Stats:

• Dig Strength: 20 – 80
• Luck: 50 – 140
• Capacity: 100 – 300
• Shake Strength: 10 – 30

This ring is extremely powerful, offering huge capacity and luck boosts. Unlike necklaces, you can equip multiple rings (up to your max inventory).

New Exotic: Void Stone

• Exclusive to the Void area.
• Required for crafting the Vortex Ring.
• Hard to obtain due to limited time and rarity.
• Functions as the new event-exclusive exotic, similar to the Infernal Heart’s unique drops.

Strategy & Tips

1. Go in Prepared – Stock up before the Void event begins so you maximize the 30-minute window.
2. Focus First on 100 Torn Items – Secure the blueprint and rewards before worrying about the gate.
3. Team Up – The 15,000 item gate is far easier with multiple players contributing.
4. Chase Exotics – Prioritize mining/panning rare minerals like Void Stone for crafting the Vortex Ring.
5. Watch the Timer – Once 30 minutes are up, you’ll be kicked out, and the portal will eventually respawn in another area.

Final Thoughts

The Void Update in Prospecting is one of the biggest content drops yet, introducing:

• A new limited-time dimension (Void)
• Void Torn Item quest with big rewards
• Vortex Ring blueprint (a powerful new accessory)
• Void Stone exotic mineral
• A mysterious 15,000 item gate (likely tied to future pan and shovel upgrades)

This update rewards dedicated grinders and cooperative players. If you’re aiming for the Vortex Ring or future Void tools, make sure to jump into the event whenever the portal spawns.
