Divining Rod

The Divining Rod is a Science item used for locating the Things, and Maxwell's Door  It requires 1 Twigs, 4 Nightmare Fuel, and 1 Gears to craft and an Alchemy Engine to prototype. The sound the Rod gives off changes pitch and speed depending how close a Thing is. It also radiates rings of different colors, again depending on how far away a teleportato piece is. In Sandbox Mode, it may take some time to locate Maxwell's Door, as the Rod may find a Thing first.

In Adventure Mode, the Divining Rod is in a Divining Rod Holder directly next to where the character spawns. Once the character picks the Rod, the Holder will disappear a few seconds later. It also acts as a key to unlock a complete Wooden Thing and Nightmare Lock.

The is also an item that Krampus will not steal and is not potatable.
