Guide/Dowsing
English | français |
General
First, you need to assemble a Dowsing Rod.
- It is used to locate veins of metal Ore.
- When carrying one, a Dowsing Icon will allow the checking of the coordinate you are on.
- Dowsing starts a Focus timer.
Tips n Tricks
- Sometimes the absence of an ore is as important as its presence. If you find a gap in a vein of ore, it's quite probable that you have an intersection of rare ore!
- Focus helps you dowse more often
- Constitution helps you detect a larger area
COPIED FROM T7, PLEASE UPDATE AS DISCOVERED
Perception Required
THIS INFO BELOW IS NOT CORRECT IN TELLING 8, Take it whit a grain of salt. a dash (-) next to a number means that number or possibly lower, and needs to be updated as discovered
Metal/Ore Type | Unrecognized At | Recognized At | Vein Shape | Other Metals Nearby |
Copper | N/A | 0 | Line approx 10 co-ords wide | Tin, Zinc, Lead, Iron |
Iron | 1 | 2 | Line | |
Tin | 2 | 4 | Blob | on end of copper, found solo, found ironxcopper |
Aluminum | 2 | 5 | Line 2 to 5 co-ords wide with blobs | On the end of iron, solo |
Zinc | 3 | 6 | Ring | Lead |
Lead | 3 | 7 | Spot and Blob | Zinc |
Tungsten | 4 | (8) | ||
Titanium | 5 | (10) | ||
Lithium | (7-) | (13-) | Square-ish, 50*55 coords | |
Antimony | (7) | (13-) | ||
Strontium | (7-) | (14) | ||
Silver | (7) | (15) | Line 2-3 co-ords wide. | plat at end |
Magnesium | (8-) | (16-) | ||
Platinum | (13-) | (24) | Blob | cap on silver end |
Gold | (13-) | (24) | Blob | cap on Aluminum end |
Ore Shapes
- Copper - Curved not always capped with another ore, but frequently is.
- Iron - Straight diagonal line, 2 coords wide.
- Lead - Blob with a ring of Zinc surrounding it
- Platinum - Intersection of Aluminium and Iron, forms a small 10 co-ord wide blob (found one blob that's 20'ish across -Tut)
- Strontium - 4 Point Diamond 50-55 co-ordinates NSEW
- Not all points are always present
- I now think its an offset grid, not a diamond
- Zinc - Ring around a central lead blob (T8- 1 sample @65 coord radius from lead)
