Then alchemy will be needed early on.
Manual site-search can be done. It is easiest for Death, because some Death sites can be recognized from the fact that they change the Death scale. Even if they aren't found with D1 or D2 sitesearcher, Dark Knowledge can be cast once even a single site has been found.
The death sites that increase death scale are all lv3 or above. Death does have proportionately the largest number of low-level high income sites, so the D1/D2 manual searches could very well pay off.
