๐Ÿ”ฎ What Fire Opal Is Used For

Once youโ€™ve obtained the Fire Opal, find the Flame Priest near the volcano.

  • Speak to him while holding the Fire Opal.
  • Heโ€™ll ask, โ€œDid you find one?โ€ โ€” show it to him.
  • In return, he casts a protection spell on you.

Effect of the Spell:

  • You will no longer take damage from lava inside the volcano.
  • This unlocks access to the Magma Furnace digging area.

  • Shovel Requirement: At least Toughness 5

  • Best Option: Dragon Flame Shovel

    • Price: ~400M in-game currency
    • Extremely effective for Magma Furnace mining

Digging Method:

  1. Dig sand inside the volcano.
  2. Pan (shake) over the lava pools to uncover rare ores.
  3. With the right gear, two digs can fill an entire pan!
