Arelium Clock Tower

Continent: Laenor

Description:
  • Very small newbie area in the center of Arelium.
  • Represents the underlying code that runs Batmud
  • Go to the center of town. The clock tower is surrounded by fountains with a door to it on the west side
  • This area is a holdover from when true newbies (level 1-5) had to grind EXP. The monsters are trivial and don't reward much. The area is worth going through once for the explore EXP but you probably won't spend much time here.
Quests:
  • None that I know of. 
Equipment:
  • You can pick up a pocket watch, a baby lag monster claws, and a horrible looking kludge. Which are novel, but not worth much.
Open Questions:
  • Where is the parent lag monster?
  • Are there any other hidden areas or secrets beyond the closet?
Map:
Map of the Arelium Clock Tower


Notes:

General Notes:
  • If you go north to the storage room and "look at boxes" you will reveal a secret room!
    • There are five aggressive small errors in the next room. Pretty easy to kill though.
  • In the dead player room there is a bat carrying messages between wizards :)
  • In the mass of machinery is a maze that you can wander around. It isn't a maze you can really map though. 
    • There are two main "paths" through it. One to a newbie wizard, and the other to a baby lag monster.
    • The baby lag monster drops a watch which ... isn't that helpful since you can set alarms in real life ... but is neat from a roleplaying perspective.
Kill Tracker:
  • Orphan Process
    • 30 exp
  • Strange Object
    • 20 exp
    • Drops a random piece of armour
  • A small error
    • 180 - 220 exp
  • A Bat, carrying messages
    • 200 exp
  • A Big Error
    • 120 exp
  • Baby Lag Monster, gumming up the works
    • 380 exp
    • Drops a Lag Baby's Claws
    • Also drops a watch
  • A newbie wizard
    • 690 exp
    • Drops a horrible looking kludge (classified as a hammer)

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
