Notes From BatMud

Continent:  Rothikgen Quests: LQ 39: Enchanted Cloak This level quest is almost impossible to complete on your own. You'll need friends to kill the final boss. There are a lot of items to collect for this level quest. They are detailed in this blog post below, and they are spread over the entire map. The items seem to save over reboot. You should be able to collect many of them yourself so that way when you are in a party to complete it you can speed things up for your team members. Equipment: Enchanted Dagger  Dropped by Mean Looking Man in the secret breakroom He's pretty easy to kill. The dagger is "ok" and does electrical damage A smooth pair of gloves (+avoid):  Dropped by the LQ mage. Worth around 7k if you sell it. It might be useful to some players though A good luck amulet (+1 sp):  Dropped by the LQ mage It is held and does not go in the amulet slot, despite its name. Worth around 3k. Less useful for players unless you really need spell power restore...

Continent:  Laenor Quests: N one that I know of.  Equipment: N one that I know of.  Open Questions: What are the bodies used for on the first level of Woodhelvin? Apparently merchants can "cannibalize" them for flesh, but I'm curious if there are other uses of them. I haven't explored past the first level due to a wandering strong aggressive monster Map: Notes: Entrance (Trunk and First Landing): Things don't seem to be going well for the woodhelvin people... On the first landing there are two bodies that you can pick up if you want The bodies are not edible if you have "eat corpse" Not sure what they are there for... There are cavewights wandering around the first level, so be careful about a monster joining the fun if you are attacking something else. There is also an aggressive "Strong" guard wandering around which was more than I could handle as a level 36 player. I'm going to hold off on further exploration for a while. Kill Tracker: p...

Continent:  Laenor Description: A very popular place for midbie players to earn EXP and money Players will often make a circuit of Revelstone, Mithril Stonedown, and the Urvill Tree There are lots of creatures here to kill, and it's a fairly safe place to kill them (not a lot of wandering monsters). The first half of LQ 40 is also available here. Quests: LQ 40: Sacrifice Staff Note: This is the first part of the quest. A very important note:  You have to be in the party that kills Lord Elena to get credit for the LQ. If you find the staff on the ground because someone else killed her, you can not use it. To complete the quest you will need to take the staff to Lord Foul's Creche to sacrifice it.  Link Equipment: N one that I know of.  Open Questions: Biggest questions revolve around the hall of gifts and the unfettered one: Even though you need the staff to open up the hall of gifts, this isn't required for the Level Quest. What's the point of the map in the Unfetter...

  Continent:  Laenor Quests: None th at I know of.  Equipment : Shield of ages : 2-3 magical resistance, 2-3 fire resistance Open Questions: How can you get out of earthroot? What happens if you kill Lord Kevin? Is there more to this area? Map: Notes: WARNING: There is a no exit room here where you can summon an aggressive monster that is very strong. Not a good place to explore. Entrance: It's a small area, no monsters that I saw until the last one Once you get on the boat, there is no way back that I could see. The only thing I could interact with was the "earth blood" in the earth root room Once I drank the blood, Lord Kevin showed up and absolutely destroyed me. Don't expect this entry to get updated anytime soon Kill Tracker: Yeah, no, it'll be a while before I update this High Lord Kevin (Not verified. Info from batwiki ) 149k - 168k exp Drops shield of ages

Continent:  Laenor Quests: Collect butterfly extract (2 mithril reward) Help find Oak for Juniper This is the main quest chain for this area, but it does not reward any area or level quests. Open Questions: There may be a special explore room here , but not sure where. What is below the flower zombie? Is there any way to interact with the plants in the butterfly valley? Can you keep climbing up the tree after you get to the top of the ladder? Map: Notes: Entrance (butterfly valley and treehouse): The entrance is guarded by a HUGE red squirrel who will block anyone over level 40 I know it may seem like a simple squirrel. DO NOT ATTACK IT! Lots of butterflies swarming around the entrance way, and there is a nice map to find them They drop a butterfly extract that you will want to collect Lots of plants around here too, but I couldn't figure out how to interact with them "Climb Ladder" when standing before the (_) part of the map to climb up into the tree If you go around th...

Continent:  Laenor Quests: Area  Quest: Help Atriel Note you will need an axe and a hammer to complete this quest A warhammer counted as a hammer when I did it A hand-axe counted as an axe when I did it. It rewards a weak weapon, and more importantly, 2 training points. Equipment: The only item of note is the weapon you can receive from the area quest. This weapon is randomly generated. The stats are pretty poor, and you can't even sell it which is annoying. Open Questions: Is this area linked/related to Domgroth's mansion ? There's a number of things, (river bits, big trees), which seem like they are highlighted but I can't figure out if I can interact with them or not. There are locked drawers in the NE and SW towers that I do not know where to get the key for it. Map: Notes: Entrance (Forest, Plains, River, Tower Entrances): If you are doing the level quest, in the very first room use the command "put hands in crack" to find a tadium weapon. The exact weapo...

Continent:   Laenor Quests: LQ 57:  Rescue patrol I really haven't seen any description of this area anywhere else, so exploring it is super exciting Open Questions: Ok, the first monster I encountered absolutely destroyed me so I am holding off exploration until I earn 10 or ... 50 more levels. I'm posting this entry to remind future me not to explore here. Map:    Notes: Entrance: Looking at the description of the undergrowth, this does not seem to be a healthy forest... A wandering war troll wandered in and absolutly destroyed me. I didn't even scratch it It then chased me into the outerword and killed me Kill Tracker Hahaha, nope

Continent:   Laenor Quests: None that I'm aware of, though this is a pretty good exp area. Also the monsters drop money which is nice. This is also a safe place for newbies to explore for exp Notable Equipment: Gaward drops a Russian autumn cloak (+1 avoid) Open Questions: Does the Pixie dust do anything? Map:    Notes: Getting There: It's quite a long hike off the main roads to get here There are a bunch of areas around here based on the "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" series of books. This is the "lowbie" area of the set. Entrance (Village and area north): The villages will not initially turn aggressive if you attack another of them in the room, but they will occasionally turn aggressive based on offensive skill/spell usage Yerquin and Quirrel are much tougher than the other residents on this side of the town Triock is also more powerful than a lot of the residents. They will cast anti-magic field which is a real pain when trying to kill them. Killing...

Continent:  Furnachia Quests: Level Quest 38: Vulcan Note: This is also a great area to make money as the blacksmith bracers sell for around 5800 gold each Equipment: Lightning Bolt of Zeus <Red Glow> This says it is a cudgel but is classified as a javelin +Electric damage. Sells for around 6k gold Blacksmith Gloves +Chest Creation Yup, really random. Sells for around 350 gold Map:    Notes: Getting to the Volcano: Be sure to pack something to drink. Traveling in the badlands will really dehydrate you. Be careful to stay on the trails since there is flowing lava all over this continent. As you approach the volcano, it is mostly surrounded by hot lava which will hurt a lot (400 dmg) if you step on it. There is one path that avoids the lava 1 nw of the entrance. Aka you can hug the mountain and then enter the volcano by going se and then up. Entrance: I couldn't interact with the beggar, but their description seemed to imply they were wise and knew something On retros...

Continent:  Laenor Quests: None that I know of. Good lowbie area, and a decent place to make money  Map:     Notes: Entrance: The room text says you can pick apples in the fall I am unable to verify this because I'm exploring in the spring A butt ugly girl says a lot of "plot" related items but you can't ask her questions "How can I deceive my father?" "Have you seen my Brother? Don't listen to him" A rugged boy is the brother. You can not ask him questions either "Have you seen my sister? Watch out." "I will have an Orchard like this some day" Newbies should be careful at the crossroads. Two of the paths lead to rooms full of aggressive animals. Individually they are easy but all at once they can cause problems. Kill Tracker: * Girl being very manipulative Roughly 300 exp * Boy is helping his dad pick apples Between 900 and 500 exp Plump Pig 1000 - 1900 exp Fat Pig 700 exp Thelma 851 exp Bob 1143 exp

Continent:  Rothikgen Quests:  ???: Might be part of a larger quest chain Map: Notes: Entrance (Campsite): It looks pretty boring and empty, but if you decide to camp or lounge, five agressive monsters show up and they hit quite hard Not sure what happens after that. I fled when I encountered them.

Continent:  Laenor Quests: None that I know of. But according to the batwiki area guide this was planned to be part of a multi-area quest chain. Not sure what the status of this is. There certainly are a lot of secrets in this area to explore Map:   Notes: Entrance (Field and Hole into Airship): Entering the storage room, (and the following room as well) there is a white box labeled Gnome Improvements. You can open them. They contain: A lever A screw A rivet A nut A bolt A gizmo Not sure what any of them are for, but there is probably a secret surrounding them If you kill the gnomish technician, they drop a blue key which unlocks the door If you keep going west into the other storage rooms, a worker in the fetal position drops an aqua key A technician wanders around so you can kill them in a different room to avoid having to fight two creatures at once Note, the gnomes also drop other items that may be helpful Gnomish tongs gnomish pencil monocle The pilot will drop a c...

Continent:   Rothikgen Quests: Save the princess daisy (LQ 37) Map: Notes: Entrance (Forest): At the entrance there is a sign warning that animals in the forest are enchanted so may be harder to kill than you would normally expect It seems like aggressive monsters move so it is hard to map and avoid them. I would recommend resting in the outerworld or in "safe" rooms Animals may agro if you use offensive actions This can cause one aggressive ant to cause you all sorts of problems! A wild boar actually chased me to the outerworld when I ran away!!! This is useful if you get attacked by a boar in a room with a lot of other animals you don't want to agro with your skills. Run away to an empty room and then kill it when it follows you. In the NW corner of the forest, you can "climb wall" to enter another area Caution, there is a goat that agros on you when you climb the wall. This leads to a field area where there are deer and a king's warden Note, there is one ...
