Rust Wells

Red qudzu vines take as their trellises chrome wells bored into the earth.

Perfect

The Rust Wells are a collection of regions that share the same rusty desert canyon terrain. In the center zone of each parasang, there will be several wire strands lying on the ground, which are required for the completion of Weirdwire Conduit.. Eureka!. For a guide of this quest, see Weirdwire Conduit.. Eureka!/Guide.

Layout

This article has information that is missing or not up to par.
Reason: Looking for the spawn table for rustwell rewards.
An example generation of the rust well surface.

Each Rust Wells uses the same generation: It will be one parasang, with the outer zones flat with nothing other than dogthorn trees and witchwood trees, with the occasional baboon and goat.

The most striking feature of the center zone will be the large circular "well" leading all the way down to the bottom of the rust well, with circles of fulcrete radiating outwards. The holes are one tile smaller than the hole above it, such that jumping down from the side will only go down one strata, preventing fall damage. It is possible to drop two or more floors at once using Jump or by flying. There are stairs down to reach the lower levels without falling.

Underground, the screens are generated similar to the surface. There will be a large hole in the center of the zone, with circles of fulcrete enbedded into the natural cave generation of shale.

An example generation of the lowest floor, with chest.

Each rust well is 3 strata deep. Each strata's center zone, including the surface and 3 strata deep, contain at least one wire strand that is 50' long. All other lengths have a 25% chance of spawning 1-4 of each.

At the very bottom of the well will contain either a chest or a pile of items(two 50' wires and one low tier trinket).

Creatures

The spawn tables are very similar to that of the Desert Canyons and Red Rock. However, there are always qudzu. On the lower levels of the rust wells, rustaceans.
