Constructing durable excavation body armor
Forged by infusing a Mining Shirt with 10 ingots of Adamantite Bar or Titanium Bar at an advanced anvil, this heavy work shirt yields 12 defense. It provides an innate 10% bonus to mining speed, enabling rapid demolition of underground obstacles. Crafting the entire three-piece prospector outfit requires 30 bars in total across all gear slots when upgrading from pre-Hardmode.
Efficiency gains for hellevator and arena construction
Worn with Prospector Helmet and Prospector Pants, the full suit activates the Mining set bonus, reaching 30% pickaxe acceleration. The resulting excavation rate allows players to rapidly dig hellevators, isolate spreading world evil biomes, and sculpt cavern arenas while shrugging off hits that would flatten unarmored miners. This utility makes cavern terraforming and ore gathering far less tedious in early Hardmode.
Trivia
- The shirt possesses the highest protective rating within the three-piece Prospector outfit.
- It retains the appearance of a rugged explorer flannel with reinforced metallic lining.
