Editing Guide:Prospecting and Valuable Items

== Pets can prospect while adventuring ==

Normal Hunt, [[Explore]], and Mine specialists build <strong>[[Familiarity]]</strong> while working their preferred [[Adventure]]. At 100%, a dig begins. The pet keeps collecting normal items; the energy it spends advances the dig. Running out of energy or going idle pauses it. Changing to a different job cancels the dig and resets Familiarity.

Completing a dig yields a Tiny Gem Bag, [[Small Gem Bag]], Gem Bag, or sometimes Coal. Open bags in inventory for [[Gemerald|gemerald]]s. Productive pets can earn better results, but large [[Prospecting|prospecting]] fleets build Familiarity more slowly per pet. Normal Fish specialists do not prospect.

== Gemeralds have several uses ==

[[Lapidist]] opens Tool Augmentation slots for ordinary coloured gemerald boosts. Gems also feed advanced [[Relay]] upgrades and [[Transmutation]] recipes. <strong>Pluperfect [[Gemeralds]] have real uses</strong> in late Relay progression and conversions; do not base-sell them because an older guide calls them useless.

== Common valuable items to understand ==

Rare discoveries from actions, shard openings, rewards, and player purchases are distinct sources. Luck boosts for actions do not change container odds. Static percentage lists and fixed market valuations age quickly; use the current item description, reward preview, and trade history instead.

An item's best use depends on your profile and bottleneck. A Main player can compare a sale with a purchase; a solo player may need to save the exact item for a future recipe.

See [[Guide:Gemerald Augments and Rare Ingredients|Gemerald Augments and Rare Ingredients]] for [[Lapidist]], Tool [[Augment]]s and rare crafting ingredients.
