Mountain Dwarves

 Continent: Laenor

Description:
  • One of the oldest areas of batmud. Recoded in 1998
  • Good (but risky) mid-level experience area
  • All guards will turn aggressive if ANYONE attacks one. So another player going through here can really mess up your day.
Quests:
  • Save the king's son from Duegar dwarves
Equipment:
  • None that I know of. 
Open Questions:
  • How do you get a key to open the jail cell?
    • Also, what/who is in the jail cell?
  • How do you get a key to open the northern gate?
    • Also what is past the northern gate?
  • Where do you find the Duegar dwarves and the King's son?
Map:
Map of Mountain Dwarves


Notes:

Entrance (And Dwarf Village):
  • The dwarves can wander outside into the outerworld. So you may encounter mountain dwarfs picking berries in the valley around the area.
  • If you attack the dwarf guard, they send out an alarm that turns other guards agressive
    • Text:
      • The Dwarf guard manages to alert the city guards!
      • An alarm sounds in the town, and the residents begin to panic! You hear
      • guards yelling 'Get those foreigners!
    • The alarm will end after 10 minutes-ish
    • If any guards had attacked you previously they will re-agro on you and start the whole alarm thing again.
    • I would recommend not annoying the guards.
  • There's a lot of wandering guards in this city, and pretty much every room has a standing guard. So if they turn aggressive things can get really interesting really quickly
  • In the Guard HQ there is a locked cell. I don't know where the key is for it, but my guess is the Dwarf Captain has it.
  • Along Main Street there is a general store
    • The store doesn't have anything to sell but they will buy your equipment which is nice
  • Along South Street there is an armour store and a weapon store.
    • Like the general store, it doesn't sell anything but they will buy equipment
  • To the north, on North Street, and to the south, on South Street, there are a number of dwarf residences.
    • These are good places to kill dwarves (or hide out) without worrying too much about guards
  • To the north, there is a Northern Passage, and at the end of it is a locked gate
    • I do not know where to get the key for this gate. Maybe the gate guard?
  • In the castle at the throne room there are a dwarf counselor and king asking for help
    • If you "ask king about help" they will respond saying that their son was kidnapped by Duergar dwarves in the caves. They are offering a reward to bring their son back and to kill the Duergars.
Dwarven Mines:
  • Occasionally when wandering through he mines the roof will collapse dropping boulders on you. This does around 150 damage.

Kill Tracker:
  • A mountain dwarf picking berries
    • 3880 - 4440 exp
  • A dwarf guard standing guard
    • 7537 exp
  • A Dwarf Miner
    • 6100 - 6957 exp
    • Drops an iron pick (sells for around 14 gold)
    • Drops a gold nugget (sells for around 75 gold)

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

Shadow Sabres Notes

Image
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

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'm only level 12 in the guild. 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 trade-off is that Riftwalkers underperform in parties
