Dr. Livingstone Hunting Quests (LQ 47: Master Hunter)

Description:

  • A standing quest to hunt outerworld animals and monsters across Batmud and bring them back to Dr. Livingstone in Esiris for fame and money.
    • You will have a time limit to kill one of three different targets and bring their corpse back to Dr. Livingstone for a reward.
  • To complete Level Quest 47, you need to earn 250 hunting points across a single reincarnation
    • Aka no maxing yourself to level 100, getting the points, and then collecting them on your next reincarnation.
  • The reason I'm writing this guide is I want to highlight some of the various activities you can do when playing Batmud that aren't just grinding the same area over and over again for EXP and money.

Interacting with Dr. Livingstone:

  • You can use the command "tell livingstone help" to get more information about the quest
  • To find Dr. Livingstone go to Esiris, and then "tell livingstone where".
    • He will then tell you what part of Esiris he is in
    • You can identify him on the mini-map as a 'H'

  • You can use the command "tell livingstone status" to get a list of which monsters/animals are the current target and for how long
  • Use the following command(s) to turn in your reward to Dr. Livingstone
    • "present corpse": If this is just you turning in the corpse for a reward
    • "present party": If you are a member of a party and want all your members to get credit for the reward.
  • You can use the "list" command to buy potions of corpse preservation for 2000 gold
    • Each potion has four charges so it's a pretty reasonable price
    • You can "throw potion at corpse" to preserve it so it doesn't rot away as you are trying to bring it back.
Where to Find Outerworld Creatures:
  • Dryad's website has an amazing list of outerworld creatures and where to find them. [Link]
    • Note: It seems like some creatures occur more often on a specific continent. So Dryad's website is a good place to start looking, but you may need to do some additional hunting learning as you go along.
Rewards:
  • Very Easy Targets:
    • 2 to 10 hunt points, and around 2k gold
    • Example Monsters:
      • a small and cute chipmunk (200 EXP monster)
      • a grumpy old ram (1k EXP monster)
      • a white, long-winged seagull with a dark back (1k EXP monster)
      • a stately king crab (3k EXP monster)
  • Easy Targets:
    • 12 to 15 hunt points, and around 6k gold
    • Example Monsters:
      • a majestic albatross soars here (8k EXP monster)
      • a wriggling electric eel (22k EXP monster. STUNS!!!)
      • a wriggling moray eel  (28k EXP monster. Lots of HP)
  • TBD: I'll fill in more as I kill more advanced monsters
General Comments and Tips:
  • Make sure you turn off your rip_action before going hunting!!!
  • Also, make sure you use the potion of preserve corpse on your kills
    • Corpses disintegrate on random intervals. So I've tried to be stingy a couple of times and had a corpse disappear within two minutes so I was unable to complete the bounty.
  • Monster targets seemed to be active for around 40 minutes, with the harder monsters being active for longer. So I'd recommend checking every once in a while when you are doing other things.
    • You can also "tell livingstone notify on" to be alerted when new targets become available
  • If you are only going after easy targets for the level quest, expect to need to kill around 21 targets.
    • This quest is going to take a while on your own....
    • On the plus side, you'll also make over 125k gold!
  • Sometimes the corpses are too heavy to carry...
    • The potion of preserve corpse will temporarily give you super strength to pick up corpses
      • You may need to try to pick up the corpse a couple of times after throwing the potion at it.
    • If you can, cast feather weight at the corpse to make them lighter
    • You can take off equipment and put it in your frame to make it lighter, then pick up the corpse.
    • Put all your coins in your coin purse, or drop less valuable coins.
    • Ask for help from somebody on the newbie or wanted channels.

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...
