Prospector increases the chance to find gems by 0.02% per action while mining. Unlike Root Digging and Refining gems can be obtained without the enchantment.

Formula

The chance to find a random gem per action while mining is calculated using this formula:

Level Zone Base Time Buff - Gem Chance Buff 6 - Average Gems per Day
