am i doing wells right?

i find a well when my character is lvl 51. i proceed to buy a bunch of normal items off market lvl 20-45 and drop them in well...

when the monster is close to dead i swap from my ee gear to my magic luck dagger(+7)/charm(+4)/armor(+5)

am i doing this right? or do i need to kill the monster the entire way with my magic luck gear on to get the magic luck boost? Thanks

also, should i only be welling certain lvl items when i find a well at lvl 51? at lvl 25? etc...

the main well drop is determined as soon as you throw in the item. so have our magic luck on when you put the item into the well. and switch to your damage gear when the monster appears.

also welling items closer to your character level produces more side drops.

Dont forget welling below the lvl of the item will help immensely too!

Yes. But don’t well on your main character if you do this. It’s risky, and any EE on the item will cause the mob to hit extremely hard. I died twice on the same lvl 55 well a few seasons back as a tank barbarian. Cause the lvl 55 ice had 228ee. Deaths were worth it though.

So, hypothetically, the most idea welling scenario is what?

a lvl 1, with unspawnable Magic luck gear to drop it in, and then run back to town, and then 4 more higher levels that are the exact level of the item dropping it in to kill it?

Dying includes going to town to heal, and Juston clearly got to keep teh 228 EE ice....

These check out together actually. the item was already 'rolled' as the initial item. By going to town or whatnot you reduce the additional drops as side drops, but the initial item is already welled.
