How to get Luminum in Prospecting

Need to know where to find Luminum in Prospecting? The new, rare, and very versatile material is the talk of every Prospecting town across its many rivers. Manage to snag some and you'll be positioned to make a lot of cash, progress to end-game areas, or craft some of the most powerful equipment.

If you're looking for Luminum for some quick cash, you've likely been sent on a fool's errand. You're better off farming for Prospecting Gold for some quests or using Prospecting codes in the Roblox game. Some can get you 100,000 bucks just for typing in a few letters. And if you're struggling to make enough for your next pan, learn how to enchant your Prospecting pan to make it last just a little longer.

Where to find Luminum in Prospecting

You can find Luminum in three different places in Prospecting: the Sunset Beach by the lighthouse, Crystal Caverns in the Rubble Town, and Azuralite Oasis further afield.

With astronomically low loot chances across the board, the best place is technically the Sunset Beach, though you should still expect to be there a while. At least it's right by the Lighthouse.

If you're looking to earn money toward your next pan, shovel, or need materials for a related craft, you're better off searching in the highest Luminum Toughness zone your shovel can handle. This is the Azuralite Oasis for Toughness 5, the Sunset Beach at Toughness 3, or the Crystal Caverns at level 15.

Why? With such low drop rates of Luminum at all three major locations, it's best to focus on making as much money as possible while you sift through the sands in the search for the ultra-rare material.

What is Luminum for in Prospecting?

Luminum is needed to repair the Lighthouse, which allows the Ferryman at the Rubble Town docks to resume sending boats down the river. This, in turn, unlocks the ability to travel downstream to new locations, making a Luminum find needed to progress through the game.

Can Prospecting Luminum be used in crafting recipes?

Aside from a necessary material to repair the Lighthouse and unlock the Ferry Skipper rides, Luminum is used in small quantities to craft two of the best accessories in the game—the legendary-grade Lightkeeper's Ring, and the Mythic-grade Prismatic Star.

The former only needs two Opals to complete the craft, while the latter requires a long list of gems on top of the tall asking price of Luminum.

If you happen to dig up more Luminum than you need, selling it can net you a whopping 1,500,000 per kilogram.
