The Mythical Valley

Continent: Desolathya

Description:

  • An interesting area, with a mixture of newbie and highbie bits. Lots of secrets and exploring to do here.

Quests: 

  • Level Quest 29: King
  • Side quest: Kill the drake, get the blackblade
  • Side quest: Kill the hermit, get Mythiko (Hard, monster will destroy equipment) 

Equipment:

  • Mythiko
    • A longsword that converts corpses to a tiny amount of EXP.
Open Questions:
  • No idea what happens when you defeat the prince of darkness
  • I'd like to better understand Qlui. What are they looking for? Why do they drop musical equipment? I have so many questions about Qlui!

Map:

Notes:

Entrance and Cave:

  • When entering the valley you will encounter an old man, but unlike most old men at the entrance of areas, he doesn't give you any helpful information.
    • Despite his description, he isn't that hard to kill and provides some good exp.
  • Going into the mythical cave, you'll encounter a servant shining shields and complaining that they aren't allowed to look at the crystal which tells the future...
  • At the end of the cave is a glowing green crystal. If you look at the crystal it'll give you some flowery text about the various areas in the mythical valley.
    • It talks about a knight inspired by an angel fighting their master. But then it says "nah maybe this is just a commercial"
    • It talks about you going down into a cave to look at a crystal...
    • It talks about a hermit in an oasis guarding something dangerous.
      • This is the hermit who has the Mythiko blade (and will totally destroy your equipment if you attack them)
    • It talks about the huntress tracking down the drake which burned her village
      • This area will be covered in the forest section of this guide
    • It talks about the hanging man and the message he bears
      • This area will be covered in the forest section of the guide
    • It talks about a guard carrying an "alive corpse" inside a tall building
      • This is a hint about how to enter the castle if you are doing the level quest.
    • It talks about a battle against a witch and a speaking statue that comes alive
      • This is the paladin in the tower
The Forest/Woods and Mountain:
  • When going into the forest, it's helpful to know that it's a bit of a maze, so you can go off track very easily.
    • For the most part this isn't a problem, but there is one aggressive troll in the forest that might give you a hard time if you run into them.
    • The map shows you "one" way to go through the forest. If you stick to it, you'll be ok, but if you go off the map you'll end up in a "woods seems to last forever" room that the only real exit is "south" which takes you to the troll room.
  • In the southern part of the forest you will find Flick the Thief.
    • Not much to do with him besides kill him though.

Word of power:

  1. Go into the citadel.
  2. Note: you can 'enter hole' in the southern stairs area to visit a hidden area.
  3. Going up the tower in the hidden area you can enounter Max the magician. If you kill him and wear his gloves, they give you a poor 'consider' skill if you wave at someone. Not that helpful but may help you get an idea about a monster's strength if using consider would agro them.
  4. Go to the norther stairs and go down. Kill witch to get ring
  5. Go to statue with ring. Say SHAZAM backwards. Aka MAZAHS
  6. Comments by Sonny/Palidan

Sonny says: I remember so little...Something about young guard,

           who is only one that knows, how to get to the tower...

Sonny ponders: I was doing something important before the witch got me.

Sonny whispers: Yes, and I found out who has the soul of the King.

            The ones in the mine...demons, I recall. 

Going up the tower:

  1. In the castle, there is a stairway that is blocked off. If you try to break it, a message will be displayed that it would be easier if you had a pick.
    • Luckily there are some dwarfs in the well further north....
    • Thadd is the dwarf with the pick. Kill them and you can get it.
    • With the pick "break wall"
    • Now you can "enter hole"

Deadman's Note:

  1. Go to forest.
  2. In the place with the hanging body 'climb tree'
  3. Look at body
  4. Go down and collect note
  5. Go back to the ruin (northeast of forest)
  6. "enter ruin"
  7. go to graves
  8. "comfort fightress"

Fightress looks at you and says: If you really want to comfort me, slay that beast which is responsible for myparents' death. That would satisfy me a lot more than those stupid compliments. Bring me the proof the beast is dead and I reward you well. You'll find it at that mountain in north. Just go north in the woods, there's a path though you don't see it

Kill Monster:

  1. From huntress, go north. Don't worry if it doesn't show up. Just go north
  2.  Kill the drake. It is hard and the drake casts firebolts
  3. Take the skull
  4. Note, there is a monster qlui searching for something. Not sure how to help him.
  5. Give the skull to the Fightress. She drops a longsword (Blackblade) on the ground and leaves

Meet the Dwarfs:
  1. Go to the tower and head east until you hit the desert
  2. 'enter well'
  3. Kill the blocking dwarf
  4. blow horn
  5. demons are summoned. They are *tough* and will agro if you use any skill/spell
  6. Still need to kill the demons

Meet the King:

  1. Go north to the tower
  2. 'play dead' This guard will take you in the tower
  3.  give gem to king. This completes the LQ
You give a black gem to Skeleton.
The skeleton looks at you with utter surprise in its eyes.
The skeleton starts to regain its human form...
You gasp in astonishment.
The skeleton has changed back to the King he was...
You see tears of happiness in his eyes...
...but now he begins to age...
Skeleton sighs: Oh, you don't know how much I want to die...
The King is getting older and older...
but he is smiling.
King says with fainted voice:
At last I reach the death that I have wished and waited all
these years...
I thank you, pilgrimm.
You have a new party kill option for top10!
King staggers for a moment, then drops to the ground, lifeless.
King is DEAD, R.I.P.

Prince of Darkness:

  1. After saving the king, sit on throne. This telports you.to hell
  2. Not sure what to do here. There is a prince of darkness I probably need to kill, but I'm too weak. May just suicide by demon..
  3. If I try to 'pray': "You kneel and whisper a prayer Prince shouts: No prayer for the dying!! Do you really think that They will hear you when I am present? But you still hear distant voice in your head telling you something about dreaming..."
  4. Turns out it was 'wake up'

Obtaining the sword Mythiko:
  1. Go to the tower and head east until you hit the desert
  2. 'enter desert'
  3. you need to drop coins to see if you are making progress
  4. kill mewt (Is there a better way? He seems nice)
  5. go 'e' into the shed
  6. kill the hermit. Note, he cast disintegrate and is wicked hard. Haven't actually done this, but I read the warnings.
  7. Obtain Mythiko. Will supposedly convert corpses to a small amount of exp

Kill Tracker:

  • Old man standing here, minding his own business
    • 7000 exp
    • Drops a grey cloak
  • A servant shining shilds here
    • 2000 exp
    • Drops a dirty shield
  • An old oracle
    • 10000 exp
    • Drops a silvery ring
  • Squirrel
    • 200 exp
  • An ugly troll looking for trouble
    • 13000 exp
    • Drops an Iron Battleaxe

New Player Guide

Image
Introduction: Intended Audience: The goal of this guide is to help new players get started in BatMud. This guide is roughly divided into advice for newbies (levels 1-15) and lowbies (levels 16-30) I'm going to assume that people reading this have some familiarity with other text based MUDs (Multi User Dungeons). I wish there was a good "true new player guide for MUDs" that I could link to here, but I don't know of one. So I feel bad about this assumption, but if I dive down into that level in this guide then I'll never get around to publishing anything. This guide does not take the place of Batmud's official tutorial. I strongly recommend taking the time to run through it when you create a new character. What to Expect and How to Use this Guide: I'm going to make this guide largely spoiler free so if people want to explore and learn on their own they can. That being said, there are many spoiler filled area-guides in this blog! I will link to some of thes...

Riftwalker Guide

Image
Guild Location: Continent : Rothikgen World Location: Randomly moves but can be found in the lake in north-west Rothikgen north of the Riftwalker cave. Look for the 'O' in the lake, and once on it "touch sphere" to enter the guild. Warning: There are a large number of vampire bats (they show up as 'B' on the map) that roam around the guild and will absolutely murder you when you are full of EXP and trying to get to the guild to spend it. Guild Requirements: Magical Background Disclaimer: I haven't earned the Magic entity yet or done any end game content like rift raids. So there are huge gaps in my knowledge about being a Riftwalker. I'm writing this guide to document what I'm learning as I learn it. My Overview of the Guild: Riftwalkers have the ability to summon an elemental entity to tank for you. This provides some of the best Newbie solo abilities in Batmud as you can cast damaging spells while letting your rift entity take the hits. The tr...

Dortlewall Crystite Mine

Image
Continent:  Laenor Description: Located in the newbie town of Dortlewall Area for newbies to grind EXP and to obtain a currency called crystite to purchase newbie equipment The equipment is *very* good, but will only work until you are level 60 Level Limit: There is a hard level limit of 40. Aka players level 41 and greater can not enter the mines Quests: Area Quest: It's a Drill You need to fix a broken drill on the second level of the mine To do this you need to find three machine parts. I'm told the machine parts can spawn differently for different players.  Aka where you get the parts will be different, as well as what parts show up where.  For example, one person searching the junk in the abandoned food store will find a Stone Pin, and another person might find a Ring with Ball Bearings.  Also one person might need to scavenge the broken drill while that drill might be empty for another person. You will briefly visit here if you are following the Batmud Story "T...
