Notes From BatMud

Continent:   Laenor Description: The town of Oakvale is known for their faerie merchants in the south You can buy herbs, gnome gadgets, clothing, and some weird specialty items here. A mid-level area but there are no aggressive monsters so it is safe to explore There are some secrets for players who want to delve into the backstory and help the townsfolk. Quests: Get rid of the ghost in the stable Not a tracked area quest, but it is something to do. Equipment: Brown gardening gloves +5% Plant Lore Can be bought from Kia-kai Stormwind for 30k gold A green and brown rubber frogsuit Will transform you into a frog. This is *not* a buff.

Continent:  Lucetium Description: Treetop village with a lot of locked doors, each with a unique key that changes per boot. Basically, expect to do a lot of searching to unlock all the doors. There's some "secrets" in the locked rooms, but mostly this just opens up more areas to find creatures to kill. In the "non-secret" areas, there is only on aggressive creature (a racist old catfolk) that will attack non-catfolk players on sight. This makes the area fairly safe to explore for newbies. The locked rooms do not grant explore EXP though, so feel free to skip them unless you are trying to solve the mini-quests here. The bridge guards WILL become aggressive if you start to attack townsfolk though. So be careful about that. Tons of secrets to discover and it is linked to several other areas E.g. Orc Samurai Some of the creatures will block you if you attack them and try to flee, so this is a good area to come with a party so you can ensure you kill things without n...

Continent:  Furnachia Description: Large area with lots of rooms and secrets to explore Seems like a great mid-level party area.

Continent:  Desolathya Description: One of the few instanced areas in Batmud. Everyone who enters it gets their own private instance Contains personalized quests and the chance to create your own farm Great place newbie players to earn money Quests: N o tracked quests that I know of. But I've been told you can start a farm in this area. There certainly are a ton of tasks to do in this area anyways!!! Equipment: Gleaming silver cleaver +1% butchering Long ebony--handled rake with stiff adamantium head +2% plant lore Obtained by killing Cobb Lettucepatch, farming coordinator Falcon plume quill pen with gold tip +1% law. +poison damage Open Questions: Still exploring this area. I've been told that eventually you can own a farm and make money in this area I have no idea if the "tasks" save over reboot or if you need to complete everything in a single go. I have a "shortcut" for one of the task givers, so I'm curious if there are shortcuts for the other two a...
