Dowsing

QuestPlaytest

Playtest. In the game’s public beta, not in the live game yet; it can still change.

Unplayable.
After entering 5 more ? rooms, transforms into an Abundance.
  • Unplayable: a quest card, not upgradable, added to your deck by Dowsing Rod.
  • Counting: while it is in your deck, every ? node you enter on the map counts, whatever the room turns out to be, event, fight, merchant or treasure.
  • Rule: only the first room of a node counts, so a fight that starts inside an event is not a second tick.
  • Abundance: at 5 it transforms into it in your deck.
  • Availability: for now it exists only in the public beta, not the live game.

When to take Dowsing

Until it finishes it is a dead draw in every combat, so finish it fast. Check the map first, since a path with many early unknown nodes converts it much sooner.
