Wells

[Kiwi]

So, are wells pre placed or are they in random spots, like will they change spots from time to time, or is it set in stone when the map is made?

Get Hearth Magic skill, build a Drowsing Rod. Equip Drowsing Rod and stand still for a bit, a Pie 'radar' will appear, follow the slice until you see what seems to be a puddle on the ground, this is where a Well goes...
Unequipping Rod will make the 'Well spot' vanish... (last I checked...)

[Zamte]

That's not what he asked. He asked if the spots you see when dowsing are set spots and never change. I don't believe they do. I saw the same spots in the last world when I was building a well for a new plot over a month after we first set up the town there.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they are at fixed spots and are generated when creating the maps, just like quality nodes.
