    • Here is more info (note: it now works over armor): link
    • To use "apply stethoscope to <name>
    • To stop using it: "unapply stethoscope". Note this didn't seem to work for me but it works for others.

Notes:

Starting Out (First Floor):

  • There are a lot of wandering creatures here
    • The dwarf guards are very annoying since they don't stop an fight which makes it hard to get skills off. They go in a predictable loop though, so you can ambush them.
    • The Weirdo also wanders, so if you get in a fight, it's probably best to retreat out of the prison completely.
  • Killing the weirdo, he drops Franz's "butt" and some gizmos, and a pervertsword
    • Pervertsword sold for around 3k gold at the weaponsmith
    • According to the sign, Franz was one of the original coders of this prison.
    • Looking at it, it says "kissing it" may help.
    • Kissing it gives the message "You did the right thing! Your noble gesture will be rewarded."
    • Looking at the gizmo it says "use gizmo"
    • Using the gizmo it just says "surrrurrrurrr"
  • The platypus has "toilet candy". Eating it says it helps you but it didn't seem to have a big impact
  • Conman asks you to kill the guardian mutants at "south, down, south, east all the way, up"
  • If you attack the "Bulging Dwarf", a quick reaction dwarf will show up and agro.
Level 1 Basement:
  • The lavatory seems to be a popular place given all the signs about it.
    • If you "move mirror" multiple times, it will break, but you can find a stethoscope. You can also now pick up broken glass.
    • If you 'sit on seat', it will prompt you to do a "normal process"
    • If you now "sh*t", you will poop
    • take "roll" of toilet-paper that has now appeared
    • "wipe"
    • I'd recommend that you now "wash hands"
    • Having this, you will now have a "toilet-candy" in your inventory
    • If you try to use the toilet again, it won't work, and you will be attacked by a rat
  • To the west is the staff rooms
    • In one of them there is an anti-depression pill. This is very important as it lets you get out of one of the rooms!
  • The other staff room has a junior prison guard
    • The guard drops a prison key which is important
    • The guard also drops some other items.
  • To the south, a mini beholder Azekian blocks you from the warden office
    • I was unable to get past them. 
    • Peering south I can see more rooms of mist though
  • Still in the west wing, there is a watchdog that is guarding a storage room
    • If you try to pet the dog they will bite your hand.
      • If you pet the dog again, it will attack you
    • To the east, the dog is guarding is for storing confiscated items.
    • I this room there is an aggressive guardian lich and the sword Widowmaker <red glow>
    • If you attempt to pick up the sword, it slides back into the ground and the lich attacks you.
  • To the East is Chunkster's Trophy Chunks store.
    • You can sell trophies and compare them to what others have sold
    • Not sure about what exactly is a trophy. It's not a corpse (checked)
  • There is a wandering magician who has a super scary consider message. Passed on killing it...
    • My guess is that the magician has something to do with the astonishing gizmos since they are constantly fiddling with their devices.
  • To the east is a cell block. The key you got from the junior prison guard will unlock the south cell (Cellblock two)
    • There is a fallen wizard (as in a Batmud wizard) in the cell along with a bowl of cabbage soup
    • The wizard was pretty easy to kill and worth a lot of exp
  • Cellblock one has a door but it wasn't locked. Nothing interesting behind it beyond explore experience.
Prison Yard:
  • There are a lot of wandering aggressive prisoners in the yard worth around 10k exp each. So be careful!
  • The prison yard is guarded by a guardian mutant
    • This is the person that the con man asked you to kill!
    • The guard seems nice... Maybe the con man isn't being on the up and up with you? ;p
Prison Cellar:
  • One thing to be mindful of: If you go back up the stairs your character will run past the main level and end up in the prison yard, where there may be some aggressive prisoners.
    • Be ready to type "in" to go back down to the prison.


Kill Tracker:
  • Weirdo the no novice (not nice)
    • 6331 exp
    • Drops PervertSword
    • Drops an astonishing gizmo
    • drops Franz's ass
  • A huge cockroach

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 "The Rog
