Whirlpool

Continent: Lucetium

Description:
  • A newbie/midbie area with lots of monsters to kill.
  • There aren't very many aggressive monsters so a fairly safe area to explore.
  • Only the entrance rooms (and the northern part of the caverns) have water in them, so if your character has a water allergy, (such as a Troll), you can still explore this area.
  • You can not leave the way you enter this area. The exit is at the end, so be prepared to explore this area before you enter the whirlpool.
  • Area is *very* loosely based on the Deryni series of historical fantasy novels by Katherine Kurtz
Quests:
  • None that I know of. 
Equipment:
  • None that I know of. 
Open Questions:
  • Can you interact with the Camberian more than just asking them about graves?
Map:
Map of the Whirlpool Area


Notes:

Entrance and Underground Cavern:
  • When you enter the whirlpool room the first thing you need to do is "dive" to enter the caverns below it.
    • You will leave mounts and companions behind when you do this
    • Also, there isn't an easy way back, so be prepared to adventure a bit before you enter this area.
  • Except for a river that runs along the northern most of the cavern, there isn't a lot of water in these caves.
  • There's only one aggressive slime in the caves, and it's pretty easy to kill, so this is a (mostly) safe area to explore and kill monsters.
  • In the southernmost part of the cave is a "false wall". You can go through it by using the command "bash wall" to create a hole, and then exit using "hole"
Catacombs + Room of the Camberians:
  • The ghosts vary a lot in their strength and exp they award.
    • It goes from a few hundred EXP to a few thousand EXP
  • You can smash pottery to find items inside them.
    • Usually it is bread in case you are hungry
    • Or ... it might open up a secret room!
  • In the left-hand side of the caacombs, if you smash the pottery it will reveal the entrance to a hidden room
    • If you go south in the hidden room you will find an aggressive ghost.
    • If you keep going south, the map will glitch and you'll end up on the right-hand side of the catacombs.
  • You can open caskets to find items inside them.
    • It might be an old bottle of wine or it might be nothing
    • Or ... it might open up a secret room!
  • In the right-hand side of the catacombs, if you open the casket it'll reveal a hidden entrance to a room to the east.
    • There is an aggressive ghost in the room, but otherwise it seems like any other catacomb room here.
  • At the south of the catecombs is a tougher ghost than the rest (around 15k exp), that can be the target of the Efiilas faction continent quest. It has a lot of hitpoints but hits like a wet noodle, so is pretty easy to solo.
  • Further south you run into the Camberians who are understandably a bit upset about you running around in their tombs.
    • You can ask one of them about "graves" and they reply that yes these are their sacred graves.
    • I couldn't figure out any other prompts to ask them that they would reply to.
  • Eventually if you go south far enough, you will find yourself back at the whirlpool entrance.
Kill Tracker:
  • A fish with no eyes swims quietly here
    • 2500 - 4000 exp
  • A small bat swoops around here
    • 1000 - 4500 exp
  • A large spider quietly spins his web here 
    • 5800 exp
  • A small slime
    • 12000 exp
  • Some fungus
    • 1500 exp
  • A large snake slithers here
    • 8000 exp
  • A ghost hovers here
    • 200 - 15000 exp
  • A Camberian regards you suspiciously
    • 5000 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...

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...
