wells and mobs

[garfunkal]

quick question regaurding wells. Does the quality of the well affect the quality of the water source? If so does the quality of all building materials affect the quality of the well built and what stats affect it?

Also is there anyway of finding out the level of mobs without engaging them, and do creatures kill you or just knock you unconcious?
(hehe i'm to scared to die and lose my hard earned farming and cooking stats )

EDIT: Just curious, what colour are dirt barrens on the mini map/ view. ( trying to find some wild tea for my farming )

Quality well doesn't effect water inside.

I don't know, but the creatures knock you unconscious.

Tan-brown, almost like wet sand ;p

Quick question to add:

How/where do I build wells?

[garfunkal]

Construct a dowsing rod, equip it to show available water sources, build well on water source, components rock, wood, rope and bucket hth

Construct a dowsing rod, equip it to show available water sources, build well on water source, components rock, wood, rope and bucket hth

Adding on that: Every 30-ish seconds a red pie will appear beneath your feet: the smaller piece points towards the nearest unbuilt well. Components:
-30/40 rocks (can't remember exactly)
-1 plank
-2 logs
-1 bucket
-1 rope
Requires stonemaking, found in construct->stonemaking->well.

Once you have the sign on top of the water you don't need the dowsing rod to place more components inside.
