Tips

  • Since only one helmet can be worn at a time, the player must choose between the Prospector Helmet and Ultrabright Helmet when upgrading their Mining Helmet. The Prospector Helmet offers 6 more defense (10 vs. 4, or 33 vs. 27 for the entire set with Prospector Shirt/Pants), but does not provide the visibility-increasing effects of the Night Vision Helmet. Even with the Ultrabright Helmet, the set's defense is still comparable with Mythril armor. It is also worth noting that the Ultrabright Helmet is available sooner, since the enemies that drop the Night Vision Helmet spawn in pre-Hardmode.
