dousing rods are really lame rn. you make and use them once at the very beginning of the world to scout for a high spot near your starting area if you dont already have a nearby water source, and in 99% of the situations that water source will be getting used for all of a week because its Q20 water and you already know of the local/market q50 well that's been dug and is getting XP dumped into
how about we add a new use to them
equip the dousing rod and cast a spell from hearth magic, hunters sense or smth larpy like that. combine that with some other trinket you craft that acts as a taglock to hone in on what you want to seek out specifically- bears, moose, boars, orcas, whales, etc. Q of the dousing rod and your trinket give you a tighter dowsing slice to seek with. make the spell cheap to cast bc since itd probably use the same type of cone tracking that scents use youd have to cast it at least a few times to get a better reference area of where to go.
