Main / Water Divining

Description

Divining for water allows the detection of water sources beneath the surface using a pendulum. No skills seem to be required.

Method

Stand on a tile and right-click the pendulum in your inventory, then select use. One of the outcomes below will result depending on how far you are from water. Placing a fountain on the spot where water is detected will result in the fountain being filled automatically. With a low quality pendulum, the pendulum will "seem dead" frequently on tiles where it should detect the presence of water nearby. Higher quality pendulums will be more accurate for detecting water.

Outcomes

The pendulum seems dead. 
There is no water nearby (or a false-negative)
The pendulum is starting to move, indicating a flow of energy somewhere near. 
There is water nearby
You think you detect some faint tugs in the pendulum. 
There is water nearby
The pendulum is swinging in a circle, there is probably a water source in the ground nearby. 
There is water very close
The pendulum swings back and forth! You are close to a water source! 
You are within approximately one tile of water
The pendulum swings frantically! There is something here! 
You are standing on a water source
