Butterfly Farm

Continent: Laenor

Quests:
  1. Collect butterfly extract (2 mithril reward)
  2. 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:
Map of the butterfly farm


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 the branches, (and continue to go up), you'll encounter more butterflies and animals but they don't drop anything.
  • Eventually if you keep going up you'll hit a platform with nothing there. The room description says the tree keeps going up, but there is no ladder. I couldn't figure out how to keep climbing.
  • If you go in the tree, there is a butterfly farmer Juniper
    • If you say "hello" she will say she is worried about "oak"
    • If you ask Juniper about oak, she will say he's her husband and he went missing. She's worried he ran away to Taniular looking for prettier girls.
    • If you ask about butterflies, she says she needs help with harvesting their extracts
  • (Mini Quest): Collecting the butterfly extracts
    • Juniper needs five different colors
    • If you ask Juniper about colours, she will tell you what you've given her so far.
    • For every set of colours, Juniper will give you 2 mithril coins (1000 gold).
    • She will continue to do this for every set of 5 extracts. You can submit multiple of the same color at the same time and it will "cache" across runs.
  • In the back room there is an opened book on the desk.
    • You can "look at opened book" to find a note in the pages of the book
    • You can "look at note" to identify a word. In my case it was "satomalum"
    • This means "harvest waste" in Finnish
    • If you ask Juniper about the word, she'll say that oak was working on a secret project, maybe to do with a wedding gift.
  • If you look at the bookcase in the back room you notice that two of the books are missing.
    • One of the books is the one with the note in it...
  • You can find the other book if you "search under bed"
    • If you do this, you should find a moldy tome
    • The search syntax is not fun. Searching bed doesn't give you anything so you just need to guess to "search under bed"
  • Hidden staircase
    • When I picked up the tome, and then "put tome in bookcase" the door down opened up.
    • You can't "put tome into bookcase" until it is in your inventory
    • The bookcase will remain in your inventory, so you may want to drop it for the next person
Secret Chamber and Underground:
  • There is a lever in the secret chamber that closes the stairway/door if you don't want people following you, (or if you need to get back up).
  • This leads you to an underground "outerworld" area where you can see all the creatures wandering around.
  • There is a flower covered zombie standing over a hole/crater.
    • It is an elf zombie wearing a wedding ring
    • I think we figured out what happened to Oak
    • I suspect if you kill it an return Oak's ring to Juniper that it will advance/finish some sort of quest
    • The zombie is also blocking access to the hole/crater below it.

Kill Tracker:
  • Butterflies (entrance area)
    • 2000-5000 exp
    • drop butterfly extract
  • Butterflies (Tree)
    • 800-1500 exp
  • A red squirrel, watching the butterflies
    • 3530 exp
  • A Giant Earthworm
    • 2000-5000 exp

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
