Notes From BatMud

Description: TLDR: Merchant made mineshafts are a great place to explore for EXP and money when you get tired of farming the same old areas day after day. Merchants can make mines in Batmud's outerworld (often referred to as "Minecrafting") that players and player parties can adventure through and explore. These mines are created by merchants so they may appear somewhat random to adventurers. Merchants earn EXP when players explore their mines and kill monsters, giving them an incentive to build them up. Players on the other hand benefit because the monsters in these mines are "no-tunes" which means they always grant full EXP for killing them, regardless of how many mines your ran previously or what other players are doing. The monsters can also drop interesting equipment, and once you clear out a mine you can search it for additional items. Locations: Technically these mines show up in the outerworld where the merchant created them and will appear as a questio...

Description: Twice a year, in January and September, a special two-month event allows you to sacrifice equipment to create powerful Rixx Tec gear. Rixx Tec gear can be fully customized to fit *almost* any equipment slot, use any material, and have a wide variety of bonuses imbued into it. This makes it super useful for filling those awkward equipment slots where you haven't been able to find anything good. The bonuses on Rixx Tec gear scale with the amount of equipment you sacrifice to create it. This means the event is useful for everyone, from brand-new players all the way up to the top-tier players on the Mud. Unfortunately, the Rixx Tec quest line is very confusing. That's why this guide exists! Event Location:   ( South-Crossing South of Arellium ) Useful Links: Batmud Armour Material Information: [ Link ] Very helpful for deciding what to make your equipment out of! Information on "Rigs/Frames/Backpacks" Equipment: [ Link ] Rigs are super popular items for ne...

Continent: Laenor Description: A "high level newbie/midbie" area. Good for practicing how to run a party. All the creatures here are of the "good alignment" making this a good place for evil characters to strengthen their reputation. Many of the creatures in this area poison. It really helps to have someone in your party that can cure it. Quests: N one that I know of.  Equipment: Steel Studded Gauntlets [ Link ] +2% Stun Obtained from Puff the Dragon A Dragonscale Tail Guard +2 Hit, -1 STR, +1% Brawling Obtained from Puff the Dragon Open Questions: Still haven't killed Puff yet... Map: Notes: Entrance (Tower): Going up the tower, you will encounter a guard dressed in white armour that will block your progress. The guard will still block you if you are invisible or sneaking Luckily the guard is pretty easy to kill Further up the tower, an elven warrior will also block your progress You can't sneak by them either Near the top you will encounter a Winged Warri...

Continent: Lucetium Description: Inspired by the songs of the band Rush. A very storied area of Batmud history. While it has fallen out of favor with a lot of players, it used to be a very popular equipment run area for mid-level parties. Never fully completed, (there is a gate that doesn't go anywhere in the south), but contains a number of secrets and "sub-areas" Quests: N one that I know of.  Equipment: The Amulet of the Snow Dog (Paper) +3 SPR More info: [ Link ] The Amulet of the Snow Dog (Iron) (Fake) +1 General Protection A gnarled staff +1 Int Dropped by the Black Oak More info: [ Link ] Hunter's Cloak +1-3 Dex Ball of protection +1 General Protection Dropped by a nasty demon who wants your blood! It is held, making it great for martial arts characters! A magical, silk shirt +2 STR, +5 HPR, -5 WIS More info: [ Link ] Various Guitars You can get guitars from the Snow Dog and By-Tor Maybe they are good for Bards? It seems somewhat unique. You can play them to r...

  Continent: Lucetium Description: Important: This is an "instanced" area. Basically a new version of the area is created for every player that enters it, so multiple people can attempt to complete the quests here without getting in each others ways. You can not enter with a party. You must be solo. A number of the  Efiilas  continent quests can be done here These tasks fall under the "ultra hard work" FYI Also the source of magical water that can "cure" player afflictions. This is super helpful!!! Are you a toad? Do you have a gambling addiction? Then come on down to the Dwarf Warehouse! Quests: Some of the "Ultra Hard Work" Efiilas Continent Quests can be completed here Equipment: N one that I know of.  Open Questions: What is up with the empty boxes you can force open? How about the vents? Can you fix them? Why would you want to fix them? Map: Notes: Entrance: In the very first room is a button If you "push button" it lowers the por...

Continent: Lucetium Description: Home of a pretty easy area quest Would be a good place for newbies to earn EXP if it was easier to get to... These areas do NOT show up as question marks (?) in the outworld. I recommend using the realm map in the official Batmud client to find them Quests: Area Quest :   The lost troglodyte rod A pretty easy area quest for a mid level player (or a group of low level players) This quest has two parts: You need to return the rod of the ancestors to the altar You need to kill all of the renegade Troglodytes. Equipment: N one that I know of.  Open Questions: None. This seems like a pretty straightforward area. Map: Notes: Troglodyte Village Entrance: Note: The entrance is not marked as a question mark in the outerworld. So you will need to find it using the realm map in the batmud client or looking at the area map above. Troglodyte Village (Inside): The village itself is pretty boring, but there are a number of wandering villagers you can kill. ...
