Dowsing Guide

Overview

To dowse, you must know the Dowsing tech and 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.

Stat Timers

Using the dowsing skill sets off the FOCUS timer.

Perception Table

The following table indicates which ore are recognizable at what perception level. Remember that you can spot some ore but not recognize it, in which case it will be the ore with the immediately higher perception level required. The highest perception required to dowse any metal is 28. ( See Dowsing Discussion Page. )

Perception	Ore	Perception	Ore
0	Copper	15	Tungsten
1		16	Magnesium
2	Iron	17
3	Tin	18	Antimony
4		19	Silver (someone get a correct reading for this please... it's not going to be 19)
5	Aluminum	20
6	Zinc	21
7	Lead	22
8		23	Strontium?
9		24
10	Titanium	25
11		26
12		27
13		28	Platinum?
14

Notes

• Teppy has indicated in ENN on Feb14 that only Platinum and Gold require perception above 20 to detect (Platinum at 28)
• In this same chat, Teppy also suggested that Platinum could be inferred at perception 0 just by following iron veins
• 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 9. Visable at 10.
• Antimony is not unrecognizable or seen at 10. Antimony dowsed as sand at 14, unrecognizable at 17, and as Antimony at 20.
• Aluminum ore identifies as such with a perception of 4
• Magnesium ore identifies as such with a perception of 16, unrecognizable at 15.
• Silver identifies as unrecognizable with a perception of 18.
• 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).
• Tungsten identified as is at Per 17.
