Notes From BatMud

Guild Location: Continent : Rothikgen World Location: Shadowkeep Location of Guild: In the Imposing Conservatorium. Go down "stairway" Guild Requirements: Civilized Background Map of Shadow Sabres and Bard Guilds: Disclaimer: There's a lot of things I still don't know about the guild and the official documentation is pretty sketchy. Take everything with a healthy degree of skepticism as a lot of it could be wrong. That being said, I'm currently ranked #32 in the guild in style points, and have ran semi-repeatable tests, so I have tried to base my findings on logs/data vs. gut instinct when possible. If you see something wrong, please let me know in the comments so I can correct it! My Overview of the Guild: I love this guild, but I have a hard time recommending it. It's a melee class, but as a civilized background you don't have the hitpoints of nomad guilds. Sabres feels like a guild for highbies to reincarnate into, as I could see it pairing well with o...

Continent:  Laenor Description: A great area for high level newbies (or mid level players) to earn experience and money The knights of the castle drop equipment which you can often lug bat to Arelium and sell for a decent amount There's also a well written area quest! Quests:    Area Quest: Intrigue at Dark Castle Also known as "Let's make some cheesecake!!!" This is soloable by mid level players. Map: Notes: A much more poetic write-up of the quest I found after the fact is available here:  https://www.bat.org/community/library?str=1001 Entrance: Starting out going east. If you 'ask guide about map' they will hand you a map. It gives you a limited view around you in the castle. When I got to the chapel, I noticed that Father Salvatore was guarding the "curtain" and would not let me "open curtain". After killing Father Salvatore, was able to 'open curtain' to get into his distillery. 'search shelves': reveals one bottle of w...

Continent :   Desolathya Quests:   LQ 16: St atue Equipment:   Small Crystal Mallet Obtained by completing LQ:16 Not sure how good this is, but you can sell it for 430 gold (so probably not that great) Special Explore Room:   There is a special explore room in the Ochamo of Air's treasure room Open Questions: The altar in the fire realm appears to be important, but I don't know how to properly interact with it Map: Quest Notes: Starting out: There is a statue. Reading the plaque I need to collect the parts and then say the name "Ejocu" SW: Windy Plain: If you go east, it is a maze. It helps to drop mowlges to identify areas you have already been to. The map shows one way through it. Kill the king tornado and enter the portal Kill the warrior and then grab the arm from the next room This room is a special explore room ! Quote: "Reaching the treasury of the Ochimo of Air makes you feel more experienced.  Even though you have found the treasury, you feel like somet...

Continent :  Desolathya Quests: LQ 30 Rescue Dorian LQ 30 Rescue Dorian Look at the village men until you see one with something wield with their coat. Kill them, and search their coat for a key Go to the elder room and " search cupboard s" to get the garlic Just to be safe, go to the cleric and "ask help" to get a flask of holy water Go to Beryl, and find the shopkeeper. Buy necklace Go into the temple and "show necklace to guardian" to get past them Push altar and go down. Drink flask, drop garlic, and then "release dorian" Special Explore Room: If you climb the slope to the shepherd , this is a special explore room On checking this again, I'm not sure if it is an official special explore room. But it is neat. Open Questions: What is the deal with the broken fishing rod and the lake? Does the holy water do anything? Is there any reason to go past the smith (silver necklace?) or into Deverah's room where her kid is? I've been told th...

Continent :  Desolathya Description: An interesting area, with a mixture of newbie and highbie bits. Lots of secrets and exploring to do here. I don't adventure here often, but I really appreciate the level design. This is a fun area. Quests:  Level Quest 29: King You need to help the undead King die. This requires only two fights, but the second one is a tough one. I'd recommend having a higher level player help you out. There is a ton of optional backstory in this area for the level quest, but you don't need to explore it all to complete the main quest. Side quest: Kill the drake, get the blackblade Not a real quest, but a fun thing to do. The blackblade isn't a good weapon but it sells for around 3200 gold. Side quest: Kill the hermit, get Mythiko  This is a hard equipment monster to defeat. The hermit will destroy equipment. But the blade Mythiko is an interesting weapon to have. Equipment: A pair of nice looking gloves Provides a limited version of the consid...
