New Gameplay Mechanic - Prospecting
You can think of prospecting as a mini treasure hunt to find a special resource. On its surface it's simple but it's very versatile for being used in many profession and skill gameplay. With the addition of this mechanic we'll be adding content for it to several professions, for example:
Prospecting for argent ore (Mining)
Searching for rare berserker mushrooms (Foraging)
Hunting for ancient relics (Scholar)
This content becomes accessible through the abilities window once the level requirement is reached. But don’t worry, we’ll also be adding one with no level requirements as a part of the holiday content!
Prospecting was designed with cooperation in mind, and can benefit slightly from doing it in a group. The resources found through prospecting can only be interacted with by those who participated in the hunt.
We’re planning to add more quality of life and visual polish to this in the future so let us know what you think.
