The Spelunker Potion is a buff potion which grants the Spelunker buff when consumed. The buff illuminates valuable nearby objects and highlights them with a yellow tint. This lasts for 5 minutes, but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (Desktop version), by selecting the icon using Cycle Next/Previous Buff and then pressing Remove Buff (Console version), or by double-tapping the buff icon (Mobile version).

The Spelunker buff illuminates the following:

Treasure colors

Ore and other treasures are displayed with a yellow tint, which somewhat alters the color of the highlighted treasure. For instance, Cobalt is displayed turquoise and Orichalcum red. Some ores are not affected, these being Crimtane (unlike its counterpart Demonite), Meteorite, Obsidian, and Hellstone. Meteorite and Crimtane, however, do provide their own light.

Notes

  • The sparkling effect seems to be greatest with the "Retro" lighting setting.
  • Ruby can often be mistaken for Amethyst while using a Spelunker Potion.

Tips

  • The Metal Detector informs the player of the most valuable treasure if there is any nearby, which can help determine whether it is worth finding and spending a Spelunker Potion.
  • The effect of the Spelunker Glowstick is similar to that of a Spelunker Potion, but the potion has the advantage of pinpointing the exact location of treasures within the player's screen, unlike the Spelunker Glowstick, which places sparkles over a treasure's general location and requires that it be held or thrown for the effect to activate.
  • Spelunker Potions are best used while playing in high-resolution displays.
  • Spelunker Potions are generally useful throughout the game's progression due to their ability to locate any valuable object regardless of visibility.
