Beastlands

Continent: Laenor

Description:
  • Popular place to earn EXP killing monsters
Quests:
Equipment:
  • Pelt of the silverback Guardian
    • The final boss of the LQ drops this
    • It provides +1 damage (which is actually pretty nice)
Special Explore Rooms:
  • The very top of the tower is a special explore room
Special Thanks:
  • Credit to Josim for pointing out the cave at the start of the river, and the fact that you can climb the statue in the town for an extra explore room.
Open Questions:
  • Is there any secrets in the village? It seems kind of boring and out of place.
    • Turns out you can climb the statue which I guess is a secret. I didn't know it anyways until Josim pointed this out to me :)
Map:
Map of Beastlands


Notes:

Outerworld(ish) Area:
  • This map is going to be different since a lot of it looks like the outerworld and it is very large
  • The "outerworld" areas of it do not grant explore experience
  • There are a ton of creatures here to farm EXP off of, which is part of why this area is so popular
  • If you see a burrow, you can "enter burrow" to kill things
  • If you see a boulder, you can "climb boulder" to kill the aggressive tiger leech on top of it.
  • If you see a tree, you can "climb tree" to kill things
  • In the cave to the very north (marked on map) there are a lot of bears. If you attack one, they will all turn aggressive.
    • The mamma bear here is part of the quest so you may want to hold off killing her
Liezeb's Treehouse:
  • Liezeb's Treehouse is the northernmost '?' on the outerworld(ish) map
  • You can get into it by using the command 'climb ladder'
  • When you meet Liezeb he is talking about several tasks that he needs help with. He will also talk about the quests if you "ask liezeb about quest"
    • Task 1: He wants you to find some honey in his treehouse and bring it to the bear mother
      • Go north into the "small cottage room" and "search pots" to find the honey
      • Go to the bear cave and make sure you give the honey to "a brown cave bear" and not the cubs.
      • Text when you complete this:
        • The bear beams happily at you and starts eating some honey.
        • The bear cubs finish up the honey happily. The smallest one cuddles against you.
        • You give jar full of honey to A brown cave bear.
    • Task 2: He wants his pipe which he lost in the tower
      • Go to the tower and "search lump" on the second floor to find the pipe
      • Bring the pipe back to Liezeb
      • Text when you complete this:
        • Liezeb says: Well well. My old pipe. Thank you very much for returning it. You are most kind. You seem to be a decent chap. Ask me for more quests if you want.
        • Liezeb says 'The sprite family needs Rubuwak weed. I think i have some tucked away in my rooms somewhere. If you would be so kind as to deliver some for them?'
        • You give a long curved pipe (cold) to Liezeb.
    • Task 3: He wants to collect Rubuwak weed. He says the sprite grandmother keeps some for her sore throat
      • Go 1 west into the green house and "search pots" to find the Rubuwak weed
      • Finding the sprite grandmother is tough. To save you time, she is 2 south, 2 southwest from the treehouse. Take the ladder up to her and give her the weed.
      • Text when give the sprite the weed:
        • The sprite jumps up to your neck and kisses you at least twenty times in one second and says 'You are so very kind! Liezeb's best rubuwak weed. Now grandmother can breathe easier again!
        • The male sprite begings stuffing a pipe with rubuwak weed.
        • You give some rubuwak weed to Grandmother.
    • Task 4: He wants you to go into the cave by the waterfall and kill the bat queen. Then bring her head back to him.
      • Pretty self explanatory: Go to the waterfall in the south, kill the bat queen, take her head, and bring it back to Liezeb
      • Text when you give Liezeb the head:
        • Once you kill the bat queen, pick up her head and take it back to Liezeb
          • Liezeb says: OH! You have slain the queen bat i see. Thank you so very much. They have been pestering these forests long enough!
          • Liezeb looks at you and says: 'I am happy I have met so brave adventurers as you. Now, with this key you can visit the top floor of the tower. I know not what lies within, I only know it is a great beast of some sort. This beast is maybe the reason for the evil things rising up in the forest  from time to time. Good luck!'
          • You give the bat queens head to Liezeb.
    • Task 5: Kill the beast in the tower
      • Go back to the tower
The Mage Tower:
  • In the second floor of the tower, "search lump" to find the pipe
  • The way to the third level of the tower is blocked by a locked door
  • Go into the chamber and "search garbage" to find the key to unlock the way up
  • In the next room is the seneschal of the beastlords, and a very strong locked door going up
    • The seneschal casts mirror image to make killing them harder
    • If you have completed the other four tasks for Liezeb you will have a key to unlock the stairway to the attic.
    • The seneschal will block you though so you need to either sneak by them (with invisibility) or kill them
  • The area above is a no-skill/spell zone
    • Also my rift entity refused to follow me into it which was annoying. So I had to command it to stay "gem cmd stay"
  • The next room up is a study which you can use skills/spells.
    • I was then able to beckon my rift entity to me
    • Looking at the room description, you can see the skeleton of a mage who was locked in this study
    • You can also "read book" to lean the backstory of this area!
      • I wonder what happened to the beastmaster?
    • Anyways, the pet (a giant gorilla) that the beastmaster left behind is wicked tough. You will run into it above the study.
  • The top room has the final monster for this quest. It is wicked hard just to warn you, but I was able to solo it as a riftwalker
    • Also, this room is a special explore room!
      • Text: Hey! This was a special explore room! You recieve 58091 exp!
    • Once you kill it, you will complete the level quest
    • Text from killing the guardian beast:
      • You utter the magic words 'idel claeppetung'
      • Your hands tingle and glow for a second.
      • You watch with self-pride as your rift pulse hits Guardian.
      • Congratulations! You have just completed Help liezeb!
      • You receive 4650 gold as a reward for completing the quest.
      • Kill count is 1 of 30!
      • You have a new TOP solo kill!
      • Guardian's skull splits wide open, revealing some mushy-green substance.
      • Guardian is DEAD, R.I.P.
Bat Filled Waterfall:
  • The waterfall is the 'w' in the southern part of the outerworld(ish) map
  • You must approach the waterfall from the west to enter it
  • Type "enter waterfall" to go into the cave behind the waterfall
    • Go up and into the cave. Going east you'll eventually hit several aggressive bats. I'd recommend using the "target" command to focus on one bat at a time to kill them.
  • Going into the lair are two big bats and the bat queen
    • The bat queen is not aggressive so kill the two big bats first (and be careful about your targeting)
    • Take the bat queen's head and return it to Liezeb
Cave at the Mouth of the River:
  • To the east, where the river starts in the Beastlands, you can "swim tunnel" to enter an underground cave.
  • This is not part of the LQ. It's just a neat side area.
  • There's no much her of note beyond some cave fishers worth around 2k each.
    • There is an aggressive one in the northern most part of it and it's friends will sometimes join the fight so be careful.
Hobbit Town:
  • There is a town full of hobbits that you can enter. It has all the normal amenities of a town (armourer, weaponstore, bank).
  • You can "climb statue" to climb on top of a statue in the town center. The room counts for your explore total so it's worth checking out.
Kill Tracker:
  • Tiger Leech
    • 400 exp
  • A mischievous brownie
    • 700 exp
  • A small bear cub
    • 3100 exp
  • A large white mare
    • 900 exp
  • A grey baboon
    • 1000 exp
  • A brown cave bear

    • 1200 - 1400 exp
  • The bat queen hands in the ceiling
    • 5100 exp
  • The Seneschal of the Beastlord

  • The Silverback Guardian Beast
    • 12300 exp

    • 1200 exp

    • 1800 - 2800 exp
  • A male hobbit is running around here
    • 1900 - 2400 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

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
