Prospecting requires you to grind for both level and money. While this can be done by sifting through the sand and collecting minerals, you can also adopt another way to gain some cash and XP quickly. To do so, you must talk to various NPCs across the game and complete their quests. However, some of them are easy to miss. Hence, this article provides the complete Prospecting NPC Quests guide to help you out.
