Perrin's

Continent: Furnachia

Description:
  • There are a number of area quests for higher level players along with the level quest for level 28
  • This is the LQ that breaks newbies. It's really tough, and it helps to have a  party that knows what they are doing.
Quests:
  • LQ28: Robes of Time
    • You need to collect 3 robes
      • One is hidden in the mole area
      • One is dropped by killing the lichen monster in the drider caves
      • One is dropped by killing the beautiful woman in the castle dungeon
    • You will need a lead ring or the heavy weight spell to prevent getting banished
    • You will also likely need a party to complete this.
  • Area Quest: Shrouds of Darkness
Equipment:
  • None that I know of.
Special Explore Rooms:
  • There is a special explore room in the final room of completing the level quest.
Open Questions:
  • This is a real "Get in, get the LQ done, get out" guide at this point. There is a ton of content for higher level parties, but that will have to wait until I'm higher level to participate in them :)
  • Therefore there is a lot of content not covered in this area guide.
  • Also, I'm still working on LQ 28 so things like the map of the castle are woefully incomplete.

Notes:

Maze (Plains of Perrin's):
  • Going north from the arch is a maze that is very tricky
  • When in doubt, you can "reset" the maze by going west three time (3 w)
  • Here are the following directions for areas specified by Dryad's website:
    • Arch (Entrance to Perrin's): 4 nw;n;ne;n;ne;n
    • North Base of Citadel (Psionic and Feral Man): 4 nw;n;ne;n;ne;sw
      • Place to get key to the castle entrance
    • Plains End: 4 nw;n;ne;n;se
      • There doesn't seem to be anything to do in this area
    • Castle Entrance: 4 nw;n;ne;n;2 ne;n
      • Go here to get one of the robes of time.
    • Trapdoor: 3 w,4 nw,n,ne,n,se
      • Unrelated to the LQ. There is a big monster at the bottom of it
North Base of Citadel:
  • There is a psionic man and a feral man here.
    • They are pretty obviously modeled after Professor X and Wolverine of the X-Men
    • Wolverine says they have a key to the citadel.
    • Professor X is the one who actually has the key
    • You can attack Professor X and Wolverine does not turn aggressive
      • Kill them to get the key. This is needed for the level quest, (and exploring the castle)
Castle Entrance (LQ Run Tour):
  • The castle is much bigger and there is a second backdoor way into it via the trapdoor, but this guide is only going to cover the parts of it relevant to the level quest.
  • As a heads up, there are multiple aggressive guards in the castle that range from 10k to 18k monsters. If you are doing the level quest you'll need a party.
    • Also, some of the guards block, and they will block you even if you are invisible. So the stealth option does not work.
    • The guards all drop random pieces of equipment. So if you have a floating disc or mount you can earn some decent money killing them.
  • There is a deathtrap room to the north of the castle with multiple aggressive monsters.
    • The party I was in with two highbies wanted no part of that room and said they've never really explored it much.
  • The gate in the prison office can be unlocked with the key dropped by Professor X. (See North Base of Citadel)
  • The goal is to find the beautiful grey woman who is a prisoner, and then "free" her by killing her as she drops one of the robes for the LQ.
    • I don't know of any non-violent way to free the woman, but if anyone knows of an alternate method please let me know.
    • The woman is a 20k exp monster, so she hits hard
    • She also casts a mean nuke spell, so I'd recommend only spending a few rounds of combat at a time attacking her before retreating.
Mole Cave:
  • From the archway, go east, then up
  • A mole guard will block your progress into the cave. Kill them.
  • This is actually a pretty good place for Lowbie's to kill monsters and get explore experience
  • In the eastern passage there is a room titled "dead end". If you "search artwork" you will discover a passage to the east. Long story short, if you don't see an exit, "look at artwork"
  • Keep going along this passage and you will come to the white temple
    • Kill the priest there. They drop the Robes of Tomorrow's Dawn for the LQ
  • The rest of the cave is good for explore EXP and killing monsters. In the south it intersects with the drider caverns below it.
    • There are some tougher aggressive driders wandering to the south FYI.
Drider's Cave:
  • You can either enter this from the cliff entrance, or come down from the Mole cave
    • Both approaches end up in the same entrance to the Driver Cave
  • If you have invisability, I'd highly recommend it for this section.
    • There are a lot of wandering tough aggressive monsters. You can quickly find yourself in a bad spot when exploring these caves
    • If you don't have invisability, take things slow
  • Note, if you search the lichen in any of the rooms but the special lichen room you will become poisoned.
    • It seems to be the fast spell point draining poison vs. the long term kill you without a sauna type.
  • Take the East/NE/N path until it turns SW
    • In this room "search lichen" to reveal a secret path
    • Just a warning, once you reveal this room Dryders will start wandering into it. So if you are taking your time with the Lichen Monster some "friends" might join you.
      • What's even worse, the Lichen Monster seems to block the driders from leaving, so after a bit "ALL" the driders will be in that room.
      • If someone else opened this path, you might want to put off doing this quest this boot.
  • At the end of the path is a Lichen Monster that has one of the robes for the quest
    • Kill the monster to get the Robe of
    • Warning: This monster blocks the way out so you have to kill them in one go
    • Warning: Ok, there is a way out. This monster banishes so if you don't have a lead ring or heavyweight cast on you, it can get annoyed and teleport you out of the room and to a random location in the outerworld.
    • If you can have a party member cast Dimension Door to provide an escape if you need it, that is super nice
Finishing the Quest:
  • Go to the entrance and then go one west
  • Type "enter glade" to enter the rings. You can only do this if you have all three robes.
    • This is also a special explore room!
  • You will be at a statue of Saint Dumas. You need to give him the robes in the correct order.
    • THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you give the robes in the wrong order you will not complete the quest
    • The order is "1) Yesterday's robe, 2) Today's robe, 3) Tomorrow's robe"
    • Their colors are: "Grey, Black, White"
  • When you complete the quest you'll get the following message:
    • Saint Dumas glows with magical light, for the final time.
    • He reaches out and touches your cheek.  He ends with, 'for
    • what will be.  For some of you there will be a dawn to
    • follow the night.  For me the dawn never came!  Live for the 
    • future, but never forget my lessons.'  A tear swells in his eye.
    • Saint Dumas wipes away the tear.  The liquid stone glows.  He 
    • reaches out.  The tear drips from his finger onto your exposed
    • forehead.  It burns your flesh and your soul.  Saint Dumas
    • tells you, 'With this tear I mark you.  I give you the final
    • gift that I have to give.' The glow fades, then dies out forever.
    • Congratulations! You have just completed Robes of time!
    • You receive 1242 gold as a reward for completing the quest.

    You have seen drider, that means you are close to spider queen's followers, drows.

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 "T...
