A Dowsing Rod for Thingwalls

Postby Vesena » Wed Nov 13, 2024 2:59 am

Currently the only way to locate a Thingwall is to spend 500 experience. In previous worlds, where you could significantly narrow down a Thingwall's position if you knew one neighbouring Thingwall, and pinpoint it exactly if you knew two, this was probably fair. However now that's no longer possible and you need to search for each Thingwall individually, the cost is exorbitant. I don't think it would be unreasonable if there was a permanent craftable item that helps you scout them out.

Either this or just reduce the XP cost to 10-100 instead of the hilariously egregious 500.
Total misplay.

I wouldn't mind if the magic enchanted the dowsing rod to align it to thingwalls instead of water so one use of the spell allowed you to dowse for thingwalls instead.

Using mechanics that exist ingame for their intended purpose seems kinda logical to me.

I think the solution here is cheaper XP costs. The new thingwall border system has made them impossible to location predict compared to before.
