Newbie Playground

Continent: Laenor

Description:
  • This area represents a newbie playground which has been taken over by a gang of highbies
  • The level quest provides a good piece of equipment for newbie melee characters.
  • No aggressive monsters make this an easy area to explore.
  • The area itself has some easy characters to kill, but it probably won't make your frequent EXP grinding rotation.
Quests:
  • LQ23: Liberate Newbies
    • Search the sandbox to find a magazine. Give the magazine to Arnold to get past him.
    • Go to the top of the slide and kill the Highbie second in command to get a key
    • "Climb tree" and unlock the door to kill the leader of the Highbies. Grab the gavel he drops.
    • At the seesaw, search the seesaw to get a newbie badge.
    • Go to the swingsets and "swing". Give the gavel to the Newbie leader to complete the LQ.
Equipment:
  • A racoon tail hat
    • Reward for completing LQ23
    • Gives +4 str, but at the expense of -5 charisma
    • Great piece of equipment for newbie melee characters
Open Questions:
  • Is there a way to repair the tire swing?
Map:
Map of Newbie Playground
Notes:

Entrance and Playground:
  • To enter the Newbie Playground use the command "climb gate".
    • I don't think there exists a key to actually unlock the gate
  • In the sandbox if you "search sand" you will find a dirty magazine
    • You may need to give this to Arnold to get past him and climb the slide.
  • In the room with the see-saw "search see-saw" to find a newbie badge
    • This is needed for the level quest
  • Do not attack Arnold at the slides. He is crazy strong.
  • At the top of the slide, Marcus Highberry will block you from going down the slide
    • When you kill him, he drops a small wooden key, which is needed for the quest
  • In the swings, you can "swing". This will transport you to the newbie leader in the trees
    • Give your newbie badge to Lorne, and they will tell you about the quest.
      • He says to get the key from the second in command on the slide
      • He also says to get the newbie gavel from Nelson and bring it back
  • By the large tree in the park, "climb tree" to go up it.
Treehouse:
  • Once you climb the tree, to get into the treehouse you will need to unlock the door using the wooden key that Marcus Highberry gave you.
  • In the treehouse you will find Nelson, the Highbe Leader cowering under a desk...
  • Kill Nelson, take the gavel he drops, and return it to the Newbie leader Lorne. This will complete the LQ. Here is the reward text:
    • Lorne says 'Thank you so much for saving us from those mean and nasty highbies. Please make yourself at home here, and have some fun on our rides.'    
    • Lorne asks 'Um.. my father gave me this hat, but I think I look kind of stupid in it, why don't you have it?'
    • Lorne gives you a hat.
    • Congratulations! You have just completed Liberate newbies!
    • You receive 1468 gold as a reward for completing the quest.
    • You give a small, wooden gavel to Lorne.
  • The hat is pretty nice as it provides +str but it does lower your charisma a lot
Kill Tracker:
  • A newbie is here, {{ Doing Stuff }}
    • 340 - 450 exp
  • A highbie is here, {{ Doing Stuff }}
    • 800 - 1100 exp
    • Drops a steel knife
  • Marcus Highberry, the highbie second in command
    • 2900 exp
    • Drops an iron knife
    • Drops a small wooden key
  • Nelson, the highbie leader cowers under the desk
    • 6900 exp
    • drops a small, wooden gavel (item for the LQ)

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
