It is located in “The Plains” region of Vanaheim realm. This is part of the crater area in the very north of Vanaheim, you get there by completing Favor: Scent of Survival. The Wishing Well can then by accessed through either The Jungle or The Sinkholes. If you go through The Jungle you must first do Favor: Return of the River to flood the area, then defeat two ogres that are throwing stones, then you can interact with the chains of a gate. If going through The Sinkholes you must defeat a drake boss, follow the path behind it to reach the Wishing Well.

You can use this chain to quickly climb back there from the Mystic Gateway.
