Prospecting Pan Tier List
Let’s get right into the rankings! Be sure to bookmark this page and check back after game updates so you don’t miss out on the new rankings.
S-TIER
You’ll truly be panning for profits with these exceptional bowls! These elite tier few are the best around, with high stats, great capacity, and plenty of luck to exploit. They have no notable flaws and help any Prospector complete their journal.
- Galactic Pan
- Frostbite Pan
- Fossilized Pan
- Dragonflame Pan
- Worldshaker Pan
A-TIER
Held back by mere stat changes, these secondary pans are great alternatives to the top tier if you can’t afford them, or fancy trying something new. They’re overall exceptional choices, which can be enhanced with an Enchant if you’re keen on them.
- Aurora Pan
- Diamond Pan
- Meteoric Pan
B-TIER
Wrestling in the middle tier, these pans are neither excellent nor weak. They bridge the gap between the early and late-game, helping players build profits to afford the expensive pans in the higher tiers. Their stats have a long way to go, but these pans are comfortable to use.
- Magnetic Pan
- Golden Pan
- Silver Pan
C-TIER
Not the worst, but these pans don’t do you many favours either. They’re solid for the early game until you reach the Town Store at least.
- Metal Pan
- Plastic Pan
D-TIER
This lonely tier reserves itself for the first equipment that new prospectors inherit. It has weak stats all around, visually a bit grim, and is easily replaceable after the tutorial.
- Rusty Pan
