Engineering sight and wire interface controls

Purchased from the Mechanic for 10 gold coins once she is liberated from the Dungeon. Equipping the lens grants clear visibility of all placed wires and actuators across the screen, even without holding a wiring tool in hand. It also adds toggles to the upper-left inventory interface, allowing players to independently adjust the visibility and brightness of red, blue, green, and yellow wire lines across the world.

Hazard detection and grand design assembly

The lens is a handy utility device for safely disarming subterranean traps, such as dart mechanisms and explosive detonators, before they trigger. It serves as a core component when crafting The Grand Design alongside a Multicolor Wrench, Mechanical Ruler, and 60 Wire at a Tinkerer's Workshop. Carrying wire cutters alongside the lens allows immediate harvesting of valuable wire lines across the world. Because it functions from vanity slots or inventory storage, combat reforges like Warding or Menacing are rarely required.

Trivia

  • Wire visibility remains functional when placed in vanity accessory slots or held in inventory storage.
  • Permits rapid identification of hidden pressure plates connected to subterranean boulder traps.
