Prospecting allows one to find the location of ore hidden underground.
How to Prospect
To use, equip either a Woo-Woo-Wand or Dowsing Rods and toggle the skill in the Adventure Menu (V), Prospect (P). While active, a floating arrow appears above the characters head and will bounce around much like a compass needle trying to point north. It can go from bouncing randomly around to more stabilized direction. Direction is merely orientational, and once we walk close to an ore spot it will be marked as brown circular patch of ground with black lines covering it.
