Even though dowsing machine is convenient to use now, I have to agree with the guy above... there's just no point in "hidden" items anymore; they were supposed to be hard to find, not easy to find. ;)I think it makes finding hidden items too easy now. The point of hidden items is that they're hard to find, and that's utterly negated by the Dowsing Machine now. It could at least have had a shorter range to try to balance this out, but no, the whole screen is covered (and then some, I believe!). It could also have been intermittent (e.g. scan just once per couple of seconds to make you actually concentrate on finding the items), but again, nope.
