4xp to get +2 once per turn and an option to remove all doom and not just 1 seems way too pricey. If it gave an additional clue then it could be good in doom decks, but this way it is too much xp for almost no payoff.

I agree. Pretty much all 4xp clue alternatives give you at least 2, sometimes 3 clues. The fact this card doesn't have a any more action compression compared to the level 0 one is a travesty! This looks more like the 2xp version of this card. — Nenananas · 242
Moreover, movement is not optional. I have no idea to use this Dowsing Rod.... — elkeinkrad · 468
Can I use the second option even if it's not the last clue? — Tharzax · 1
Yes, you can — Jota · 6
So let's compare it with the obvious alternative sixth sense (4): a slightly less contester slot compared to the arcane. You can choose the ability, which is only a possible option for Norman. You get a smaller bonus for usual tests and a bigger one for the prize of doom. Sixth sense gives you the chance for a second clue and some fancy scrying mechanic, while the rod give only some move action. I think the effect of sixt sense is in the worst case redundant and the rest of the time better. So I will take sixth sense every time except i don't know what to do with excess xp and I can pass it to someone who plays Monterey Jack or Ursula. — Tharzax · 1
