I would not call it over powered, and it is exactly why I made this suggestion, so that you can re-roll catacombs when hunting for a Well. It doesn't matter if you find out there is a Well in the Catacomb, you may fall in a TD before encountering it (I know, you have a Rogue/Monk or Ninja in your group, still, doesn't help if you are solo'ing it).

Also ... so you find a Well... you throw in your item... "boom", the Well breaks ... dang, have to start hunting again.

I forgot to mention also... if you keep re-creating a group too fast, you won't be able to enter the catacomb, you get locked out, I came across many times just because I re-rolled my group after falling in a TD. Oh, I have been re-rolling my character from level 1-15 hunting for Wells and +X Well maps for Days if not weeks (playing time) and have only encountered 5 catacombs with a Well in it, and only one(1) +1 Well map. I am not sure how many catacombs I fully explored, but I would say that it would have been over 500 ... oh, and 4 of the catacombs with a Well in it, is just from playing yesterday, including the Map with +1 Well.

To late to edit previous post that I made.

I have been hunting Wells since my last Master Quest Attempt:

And yup, I have been re-rolling my character from level 1-15 (sometimes 20) and fully exploring to only come across like 5 (maybe 1 or 2 more) catacombs with a Well in it, oh, the last Event that had +2 Wells, in 2 of the catacombs, I only came across 1 Well, this has happened before in past events, so I think there is something wrong with the Events or the coding is based on the Catacomb size. Well, just speculation, but it isn't just a one off thing, the previous +2 Well event, I never found any wells in any of my catacomb runs.

Detecting a well within 5 steps is arguably better than knowing if there's a well in a maze.
The smaller mazes would require only a couple of steps to check most of them, so almost no difference.
Knowing there's a well somewhere in a maze 20x20 tiles is very little help, most of them do.

I vote yes

I'm not even sure they need to be fragile tbh, but that ship has sailed.

Really wouldn't hurt if they lasted at least twice as long and/or if they were easier to find ( like in this suggestion )

Crazy how a feature that is universally hated by everyone is just how the game works

Thank you, this is great advice, and I am not disputing it with the following.

The statement of 20x20 tiles and saying "most of them do" is actually false, and I can confirm it with my own testing (still incomplete) and from recollection not even finding a Well in the dimensions of 26w X 17h starting the catacomb at level 46 and completing it by level 67 as shown in this thread:

Dang, this means I have to my other test thread
