How to Enchant Pans: What I Went through to Waste My First Aurorite

Last updated on September 28th, 2026 at 12:40 pm

Well, I will tell you-I had the first week of my stay in Prospecting, where I thought enchanting was an after-game business I did not have to bother myself about. Then I beheld one who thus Divinely summoned Of rare minerals made naught, And Thou hast been overstraining Thy part So hard unneeded.

Here is all I learned after too many unsuccessful attempts.

What Even Is Pan Enchanting?

Here’s the thing: enchanting is a purely statistical power-up for your pan. We are discussing an increase in luck, an increase in capacity, an increase in the speed of shaking- all the things that can make panning really profitable rather than simply dull.

Each pan has one enchantment. Want to switch? You will have to enchant again and change what’s there; no stacking, and no backups on the same pan.

How To Pan Enchantment in Reality.

Before I could locate the Mysterious Altar at Rubble Creek Deposits, I spent too long searching. In the archaeologists’ quarters- you should find the square hole with four stone kneeling pillars with runic characters.

Here’s what you need:

Episcop regards GT only a bit less than GInfer: Aurorite ( Epic-tier gem) for the standard enchants.
Aetherite (Gem of legend) for high-level enchants only.

Once you have either material, prepare your pan, go to the altar, choose E, then choose to enchant your pan. That’s it. The first time you complete it will reward you with 250k, 10,000 EXP, and 250 Meteor Shards if you take the Archaeologist quest first.

The Things That Are Worth (And the Things That Aren’t).

Three Aurorites I spent before I knew which enchants were worth it. Here’s my take:

S-Tier (Actually Worth It):

Titanic: 20% size boost + 30% capacity. Best all-around choice
Divine: 30 luck + 20% size boost. Breakeven in rare mineral exploration.
Midas: 50% sell boost. Pure profit mode
Blessed: 25 capacity + 10 luck. Solid early-to-mid-game pick

A-Tier (Pretty Good):

Infernal: 20 luck + 25% size boost
Destructive: 5 shake power to pan in a shorter period of time.
Greedy: 20% sell boost

Skip These:
Any C-tier or lower (Boosting, Strong, etc.) isn’t worth your materials. Trust me.

Part that no one speaks about: Materials procurement.

Discovery of Aurorite and Aetherite is barbaric. I fussed for hours at Rubble Creek Sands and Fortune River Beach before I worked out the trick of luck-stacking.

Here’s what actually works:

Use high-luck pans (Magnetic or Golden Pan).
Invite friends online; each one brings a 1.1x bonus.
Tidharah Street from the Alchemist ( += Greater; both stack)
Drop Luck Totems (300 Meteor Shards from the Shard Merchant)
During a Waiting event, a Meteor Shower gives a lucky bonus to all servers.

In September 2025, the traveling Merchant was brought as Enchant Books (spawns hourly at XX:45). They require 50M-200M in-game money yet promise certain enchants, no further gacha gambling.

My Top Worst Mistakes (So You Can learn not to make them again).

Don’t enchant low-tier pans. Then I blessed a Silver Pan and immediately repented. Enchanting should only be done on Magnetic and Golden pans, Diamond, Aurora, or Dragonflame pans; these are your long-term investments.

TEAM people can match your playstyle. I ran at full capacity until I discovered how much luck those rares offered. Some might as well use Phoenix Heart and Phoenix Wings accessories and ambid with extra Phoenix multipliers.

Save your Aetherite. It’s way rarer than Aurorite. On one hand, you can use it to get high-level enchants guaranteed, or you can save up towards Enchant Books with the Traveling Merchant.

FAQ’s

Can I have multiple enchantments on one pan?

Nope. One pan, one enchant. What is there is replaced by re-enchanting.

What’s better – Aurorite or Aetherite?

Aetherite opens exclusive higher-level enchants, such as Prismatic or Cosmic; however, it is much rarer. Train with Aurorite and save Aetherite for last.

Best enchant for beginners?

The easiest to obtain are Lucky (roll 10% +5 luck) and Forceful (shake 2 incr), which makes for good early progression.

Is this worth it for free-to-play?

Absolutely. Even simple charms have a difference. S-tier stuff takes patience, but there are no paywalls.

Final Take

The message I want to hear on my first day is this: don’t worry about being perfect in enchants at the very beginning. Begin with what you roll (whatever you roll, provided that it is B-tier or better), develop with luck modifiers on the farm, and slowly acquire S-tier enchants as you level up.

Goldmines are the Prospecting Wiki and Prospecting Discord that contain active codes and real-time advice. Periodically check them – a certain code such as 200KLIKES adds an hour of luck, which is just what one will need on a magical session.

Enchanting became more confusing, then very necessary, as you got to know the system. You will get there yourself–but do not lose your first Aurorite.
