AI Generated Art of a Lizardman Offering You A Job

Map:

Overview:

Imagine a bunch of unorganized reavers and Vikings that showed up on your shores looking to loot and pillage. That pretty much describes the Syggax Offensive. No logistics, no planning, somewhat jerkish. That being said, they have some amazing equipment for evil religious melee characters, so depending on your background they may be worth checking out.
  • One of the least newbie friendly factions
    • Most of the quests have some chance of death, or require knowing a player who can make you ammunition.
  • Great selection of equipment for certain guilds (Barbarian, Evil Religious)

Unique Quartermaster Equipment:

  •  Set of standard Syggax scout gear (100 Favor)
  •  Set of standard Syggax soldier gear (100 Favor)
  •  Set of gear the Syggax would give a duergar (100 Favor)

Work/Quest Tips:

A listing of most of the work tasks can be found at: [link]

Easy Work:

Bring tribute to the demon racial shrine
  • (Difficulty) Very Hard
    • The finding of different races is a pain
    • Actually getting to the Demon shrine is an even bigger pain
      • It's behind a mountain range
      • You probably need to cross a lot of water
      • The last part requires walking over LAVA
  • Quest Solution: 
    • You need to kill 4 different races of monsters and then use the command "fill box with corpse"
      • The races have to match races available to player characters. Aka no "smurfs"
      • You need four different types. For example, dwarf, brownie, human, and orc
    • Next, visit the Demon shrine on Furnachia (which requires a ferry ride), and "present box"
      • The Demon shrine is on the opposite side of a huge mountain range. So it's easiest to find a Navigator Tree that transports you to a "nearby" location like the "Ndoki Forests"
      • Make sure you cast floating or water walking before trying to walk on the lava or you will die.
      • Even if you cast those spells, a random gout of lava may fly up and insta-kill you
      • Don't linger on the lava. Move on through and take your chances.
    • Finally, make you way back to Kortax (the quest-giver) and "ask Kortax about finish'
  • Example places to kill monsters:
    • I killed a brownie messenger at ShadowKeep
    • I killed a dwarf guard in the ShadowKeep Prison
    • I killed a human guard in the ShadowKeep Prison
    • I killed an Orc Scout in the Orc scout tree in Laenor (that was mean)
    • There are a lot of different race creatures in the city of Rilynt'tar in Furnachia, and you need to go there anyway to visit the Demon shrine...

Get 50 iron sling bullets
  • (Difficulty) Very, Very Hard
    • This is one quest where it may be worth it to abandon it and try to do a different one
    • The exception is if you can make bullets, in which case this quest becomes a lot easier
  • Quest Solution: 
    • You need to collect 50 sling bullets made out of iron (lead, copper, etc will not count)
    • You can sometimes buy bullets from weapon shops, but it is very rare to find iron ones
    • Some players can make the bullets, but buying them on the trade channel is difficult
    • One you have 50 IRON bullets, return to Kortax (the quest-giver) and give them the bullets
Kill 3 Dwarf Shadowkeep prison guards
  • (Difficulty) Medium
    • The dwarf guards move even when fighting, and if you are not careful you can agro other creatures that can  destroy lower level players.
  • Quest Solution: 
    • Go to the shadowkeep prison: [link]
    • Kill the wandering dwarf guards on the first level. DO NOT go after the guard in the middle as they are much, much tougher to kill and will summon reinforcements.
    • Return to Kortax (the quest-giver) and "ask Kortax about finish'
Kill 5 Tiaga game animals
  • (Difficulty) Medium
    • The creatures are around 4k - 8k and pretty easy to kill, but getting to Tiaga can be challenging
  • Quest Solution: 
    • Go to Tiaga. I'd recommend looking around Shadowkeep for a Navigator Tree that will teleport you there.
    • Near the entrance there are a lot of animals you can kill.
      • The Tarpans and Squirrels count for this quest.
      • The lynxes, and sabretooth cats do not count
    • Return to Kortax (the quest-giver) and "ask Kortax about finish'

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
