Uses
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.
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.
