NewRanch:Old Well

The Old Well is an abandoned well in the middle zone (The Withered Roots) of the Dried Fields. There are four to six per world. Each stands on a bricked shaft that drops into the chambers below, and you can climb in. Old Wells cannot be crafted or carried away.

Repairing

Right-click the well while carrying an Irrigation Part. The part is used up and the well starts running:

• its shaft floods six tiles deep,
• it fills a Watering Can on right-click and feeds a Sprinkler within 8 tiles, like a built Well,
• it keeps raising nearby field soil one stage at a time (about 9 tiles to each side and down to 9 tiles below).

The rubble at the bottom gives 1–2 Ancient Grain Seeds, a 50% chance of another Irrigation Part, a 50% chance of an Empty Bucket and a 1 in 3 chance of 1–3 gold coins.

The well does not get around Skeletron: before he is defeated, the ground around it stops at the Moist stage.

The ghosts

Repairing a well calls up the ghost of the farmer who dug it. He says one line and is gone.
