Prospector

 is one of the many subclasses of Elder Tale.

Overview
As a primary Production subclass, the Prospector’s job is to find veins and ore deposits in mines or caves and to extract ore and gems. You naturally have the skills to search for mining points and to obtain material items from them, with the quality and ease increasing with the level: where a non-skilled Prospector would only dig out stone, a high-level one can mine pure ore.

It’s among the most well-known and ancient subclasses of Theldesia, being implemented from the beginning of Elder Tale. Depending on the existence of mines in a zone, their number can go from 40% of the population in a mining town to almost none otherwise. It is difficult and dangerous for People of the Earth to mine in monster-infested zones, without considering the fact that their level seldom exceeds 20, so they mostly mine iron and low-purity silver.

Its subclass-changing quest is simple and easy and because ore and gems are essential material for the Production subclasses like Blacksmiths or Jewelers, many players become Prospectors to earn money. Because the value of the material is often proportional to the danger of the exploration, those who search for precious material like mithril or adamantite must train their main class as well as their subclass.
