Take a white (non-magical) item, throw it in the well, then prepare for a FIGHT!
Tip: Do not try to well anything at or above your character's level, best bet is to do stuff 10-15 lvls lower than you. Also have some way of healing, whether it's a heal charm, fish, some comfreys (if fish or comfrey, put in the quick slots 1/2/3/4/5)
Couldnt have said it better. I will add that for me welling with a mele char I have a very good success rate from 30 - 50 due to my gear. At 30 I have decent armor and good sword, 35 i get 184 ee armor, 40 I get 153 ee chain mail and 45 I get good heal charm. I usualy do exactly what Jesse said and go 10 lvls below my lvl but I did do a few wells of lvl 25 items at lvl 32 and was successful every time. A heal charm is a must even if you can only heal yourself a few times. If you have fg buy comfreys but imo they are for the rich in fg. Fish are easy enough to catch and can be stacked (I didnt know about that for about 4 months) and put them where Jesse said.
Be prepared for a big fight as they are much harder than the arena and are more like the evil presences you find in cata. For high lvl items it is recommended that you use a casting mage wtih damn good heals at lvl 64. That way you can get side drops of lvl 55 items. I have heard of mele chars doing welling but my high end mq sword was shrined by some noob and my current sword just doesnt kill quick enough to do high lvl welling on a mele char. Just my 2 cents and i hope it helps.
Tonights plans are still up in the air and once I get stuff done I will post up what char I am going to play. Most likely gear up the mage for healing as I am lvl 25.
