Is there any predictability to finding a well? I have a whole vault worth of whites I want to throw in. This is my first MQ run in five years so bear with me :)

Nope all random. Sometimes you will MQ and still not find one.

Well that's frustrating. Another question, does it matter what level you are when you well items? For instance is it better to well a lvl30 white when you're lvl30-35 or wait until 55+ when your gear is much better than the mob you're fighting? I completely forget some of these basic mechanics and can't find the answer. Trust me, I'd rather look them up than have to ask.

I did find a well @ lvl15 and welled a lvl15 club and had a hell of a time with the mob but then did a lvl5 club and it was cake.

try to stick at the same lvl of your white items. so best to well a lvl 20 items while you are lvl 15-25 yourself.. not much more or less. this will give you the most profs + most sidedrops

Was this always the case? I too have been away from d2jsp/LS for roughly 2 years? Something close to that anyways. It's hard enough to find a well as it is, but then trying to find one AND match your character level around your white item level...seems very difficult. Know what I'm saying?

Maybe my mind is a bit rusty here...or was something changed within one of the updates?

I remember people (and myself) would well any level white items preferably at character levels were at lvl55+. Let's say a group was going 1-71. If in the game and a well was needed, sometimes we'd just spin (or I guess now it's called whistling?) until lvl 71 and whoever needed the well was free to use it, and anyone who didn't need it just continued to attempt their MQ.

well it isnt too hard.. when i am starting a well session i mostly play solo.. i load my vault and go exploring.. when i find a well i whistle until the lvl that is high enough to get profs.. and then i well my stuff.

keep in mind that you just need to have a char at the desired lvl (for example 20) and find a well with any other char at any other lvl.. if you made the lvl bracket of the game high enough (+-70 for example) any other char can join your game.. so you can easily switch to your lvl 20 char.. even at a lvl 70 game

Hmmm, quite interesting. I see there's been quite some changes while I was away. Thanks for the explanation :)
I'll have to go read some of the update logs in more detail.

Wells are easier to find at low level (smaller map).
We use to have friends at low level hunt for a well from level 1-5 then when found, have a high level character join game and do wells.
Good luck with wells!
