How to Reach the Volcano in Prospecting Roblox
To reach the Volcano Island (Caldera Island) in Prospecting, you'll need to talk to the Ferryman NPC at the docks near the Fortune River. Once you talk to him, choose the option to teleport to the island, and you'll warp there. The teleport is free of charge, and once you unlock the waypoint, you don't have to use the Ferryman NPC anymore.
How to Enter the Volcano in Prospecting
The entrance to The Magma Furnace (volcano) is located on the left side of the island, looking from the Caldera Island waypoint. There is a hole, and the Flame Priest NPC that you need to talk to in order to enter the volcano. He will give you a quest to find one Fire Opal. Once you deliver it to him, he will cast a spell, and the path ahead will be unlocked.
Where to Find Fire Opal for the Flame Priest
Fire Opal is a Legendary rarity ore that you can find most easily in the Volcanic Sands areas. It doesn't have a lot of competition regarding other Legendary ores, so getting it shouldn't be that much of a problem. If you can, use totems and other bonuses to increase your Luck and the chance of finding it.
