  • None that I know of. 
Open Questions:

Map:
Map of Hugoville

Notes:

Entrance:
  • Going in you have a choice. To the north is the Von Heber mansion which is for people level 50+. To the west is Hugoville for newbies.
Hugoville:
  • Immediately after getting into Hugoville you are confronted by two annoying gang members.
    • While it is tempting to kill them, they attack as a pair and are tougher than typical newbie creatures.
  • In the old grocery store, despite the grocer saying they have nothing to buy, you can purchase hugobars, hugosticks, and hugonuts from the food dispenser
  • There is a snake oil salesman who is selling snake oil and love potions for 1k gold each
    • Their real name is Count Xzwyski
    • They do not drop any of their wares if you kill them
  • In the sheriff's office you can "look at poster" to see the advert for the level quest
    • To get the reward, once you have Billy Bob Jack's sword type "show sword to sheriff"
  • In the mayor's office, if you "dig firepit" you will find a pair of studded leather gauntlets.
    • They only sell for 15 gold fyi.
  • Rusty Jack's Iron works will buy armor, weapons, and items from you so you don't have to haul them back to town.
    • He won't buy expensive items though like Utah Johnny's spiked knee guards
  • In One Stump Tommy's bar Utah Johnny is drinking
    • He drops a sword of bashing, spiked knee guards, and a big ugly grey key. The key unlocks the door to the secret lair
    • If you attack him, the other gang members won't do anything, which makes this fight more doable.
    • The spiked knee guards he drops are work around 2k gold!
  • In the dirty warehouse "push boxes" to uncover the way to Billy Bob Jack's secret lair.
    • Note: The door may be locked if nobody else has been this way before. If so, unlock it with the key you got from Utah Johnny
  • Kill Billy Bob Jack and return his sword to the sheriff by using the command "show sword to sheriff"
    • Note: You need to actually kill Billy Bob Jack. If you pick up the sword from someone else killing them, the sheriff will not accept it.
    • Billy Bob Jack is tough since he casts flaming arrow to damage you, and can heal himself as well. So you need to tank and do a lot of damage quickly.
    • He drops a box that is jammed shut so you need to "force box"
      • The box has a few gold coins in it. Nothing exciting.
    • Here is the text for completing the quest:
      • Congratulations! You have just completed Manhunt!
      • You receive 1464 gold as a reward for completing the quest.
      • You show the sword of the vanquished Billy Bob Jack to the sheriff and he congratulates you on a job well done.
      • Then, the sheriff gives you your reward, level quest 18.
  • In Annie's lonesome coffee shop Annie sits drinking coffee
    • She says if only she had someone to love she could tell them all sorts of secrets. Hmm. I seem to remember the snake oil salesman selling love potions
    • Giving Annie the potion didn't do anything.
    • Drinking the potion didn't do anything either.
    • If you "pour potion into cup" she will tell you about the leather gauntlets she buried in the fireplace.
      • It is Annie's favorite coffee cup.  It also looks like you could pour something into annie's cup and she would never notice.
      • You discreetly pour the love potion into Annie's drink.  She sips her drink unknowingly and then whispers in your ear:  I buried my dead fiance's favorite possession, his leather gauntlets, in the fire pit in town hall so that no one would find them.
    • Ahh, I feel sorry for Annie. No wonder she is sad.
      • Wait, was Annie's fiancé the Mayor's dead son? Did the Mayor have a son?
  • At the lake, the fisherman are asking what happened to the guy who caught all the fish
    • They say that Hugo the fishkiller drowned south by the thistles
  • In the lake, if you "search bottom" you will find a rusty breastplate that belonged to Hugo
    • It sells for 1540 gold at Rusty Jack's
  • In the wolf den/small cave, if you "move hay" you will find a pair of chewed up old boots
    • They sell for 167 gold at Rusty Jack's

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
