Notes From BatMud

Continent:  Desolathya Description: A mid-level area with a lot of secrets Has some high-level monsters to kill for equipment Make sure you have the ability to see invisible since many of the monsters are hidden. The *generic* weapons monsters drop sell for around 1k gold each which can be nice for mid level characters trying to make some money Quests: You might need to show up here as part of LQ33: Norther Raiders [ Link to Northrend Guide ] Equipment: The Robes of Haliban the Archmage +1 SPR Obtained by killing Haliban the Mongrelman Batwiki Entry: [ Link ] Tattered Yellow Robes +2-7 WIS, +2 Mastery of Protection Obtained by killing the old man (100k monster) Batwiki Entry: [ Link ] The Bloody Tail Spike of the Wreched +2 avoid Obtained by killing the Wretched (300k monster) Batwiki Entry: [ Link ] Black Skeletal Plates -10 charisma (yup, this is an item to sell or sacrifice) Obtained by killing the Wretched Batwiki Entry: [ Link ] Open Questions: Is there a way to enter the fron...

Continent:  Lucetium Level Limit: Max Player Level: 55 Enforcement Mechanism: 100k Blocking Monster Description: Another of the more "modern" Batmud areas with several outerworld components, much like bunny valley. A good place for mid level characters to earn experience. There are a ton of monsters to kill here. There's also a fun area quest to do. Finally, there are some equipment pieces you can collect, either for your starter set, to sell, or to use in a Rixx event. Quests: Area Quest: Coffee Time Fun quest. Lots of secrets to discover. Some of the syntax is non-intuitive. The biggest monster you need to kill is around 20k EXP. There are multiple rewards to this quest. Only one of which gives you credit for completing the quest. Equipment: A pure white loincloth +1 CHA, +1 SPR Obtained from the cherub-like homunculus (40k monster) Batwiki Entry: [ Link ] A white apron +1-2 HPR Obtained from Dr. Oso Batwiki Entry: [ Link ] Halo of Flames +5 DEX, -3 cold res, +damage on...

Continent:  Desolathya Description: N one that I know of.  Quests: LQ 49: Ivory Blades Warning: I've been told this is one of the more difficult level quests and requires a high level party and a lot of time to complete.  Area Quest: Mastery of Magic Equipment: N one that I know of.  Open Questions: I'm focusing on doing the level quest I will be exploring the castle, but will largely be skipping the tower I quickly got in over my head in the castle. So I explored what I could without killing, but hit a wall as I need to start murdering shapeshifters to advance farther. Map: Notes: Entrance: The big thing about the entrance is that the valley of silence seems to lead to three distinct areas, a tower, a castle and a mountain Since I'm doing the level quest, I'm primarily going to explore the castle. Castle (1st floor): In the entry hall you will encounter a comfortable looking couch When I first tried to search the couch I didn't find anything When I sat on the couc...

Continent:  Lucetium Description: A great newbie area with lots of areas to explore, many of secrets to learn, and easy to kill monsters that are not aggressive (until you go into the woods that is). Also you can become a beekeeper to earn some extra money which is always nice! Warning: Beekeeping is an investment (both time and money) and might not be a great newbie money activity Quests: Area Quest: Alchemist's Dilemma I won't spoil much here but this is an easy area quest that anyone can do That being said, one part of the quest can only be completed at night (as in nighttime inside of Batmud). You can check the time using the "time" command. Equipment: N one that I know of.  Open Questions: I need to look into the caravan side quests. See "help caravan" in batmud In the brewery cellar is there anyway to drink from the barrels (or for that matter do anything cool down there)? Seems like a lot of work to get somewhere so boring. I keep earning reputation w...

Continent:  Furnachia Description: I absolutely love this area. It was really well coded and the quest is a ton of fun to solve. Easily in the top 10 areas of Batmud. One of the more Newbie/Midbie friendly areas in Furnachia. Feel free to explore since there aren't any aggressive monsters that I'm aware of.... Update/Warning:  If you wear any red clothing one of the monsters will turn aggressive and attack you. They are a "beefy" fella so it'll be a pretty quick death. Quests: LQ 48: Successor of Province This is a real fun level quest. No fighting and all exploring. So anyone can complete this! Spoilers can be found below, but I strongly recommend exploring this area and figuring things out yourself and only referring to this guide if you get stuck. Go to the manor to get things started... Equipment: A shimmering blue necklace with a silver plaque +4 WIS 'squeeze necklace' for water walking (one time a boot) This is the reward for completing the level que...
