Learning

The Dowsing tech, learned at a University of Body, gives you the ability to assemble a Dowsing Rod and requires a minimum level of 4. Dowsing may be taught to another player in 4 lessons. Peasants can learn the tech in this fashion.

Dowsing

To dowse, you must have a Dowsing Rod in your inventory. This gives you a new action icon in upper portion of the screen.

Dowsing results are reported in your main chat if you have the "Utility -> Interface -> Use console..." option checked. If you have your chats minimized the result will not be posted in the main chat.

The following table indicates which ore are recognisable at what perception level. Remember that you can spot some ore but not recognise it, in which case it will be the ore with the immediately higher perception level required.

Apophis confirmed in IRC:

  • Copper ore identifies as such even with a Perception of 0.
  • Iron ore identifies as such with a perception of 1, unrecognizable at 0.
  • Tin Ore identifies as Unrecognized with perception of 2.
  • Zinc Ore identifies as such with a perception of 6.
  • Lead ore identifies as such with a perception of 7, unrecognizable at 6.
  • Titanium is unrecognizable at 8.
  • Aluminum ore identifies as such with a perception of 12
  • Magnesium ore identifies as such with a perception of 16, unrecognizable at 15.
  • With a perception of at least 22 (may be less) when near a vein of Tungsten or Magnesium it will state you detect a vein of Magensium Ore nearby (or tungsten).
  • Strontium ore identifies as such with a perception of 23. Identify as Sand at 15.
  • Platinum ore identifies as such with a perception of 32 (Sand at 22).
