Notes From BatMud

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. Stefan, the Gravelingas will cast heal spells on himself Gaward the hunter drops a +1

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 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 retrospect, I should have given them some money Update: Giving money doesn't seem to do anyt

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 cyan key if you

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
