Mage Apprentice Training Area

Continent: Laenor

Location:
  • You can find this area by going to the Mage training tower in the city of Arelium.
    • Go up to the second floor of the tower and then enter the portal
Description:
  • An amazing place for midbies to earn experience and money after they have graduated from the Dorttlewall Crystite Mines.
  • There's only a few aggressive monsters, and most monsters drop money and random pieces of equipment you can sell.
  • Also most of the roaming monsters give between 2k and 8k experience when you kill them.
Quests:
  • None that I know of, but there are a lot of suspicious locked doors....
Equipment:
  • Monsters drop a ton of random equipment you can sell
Open Questions:
  • There's a lot of locked doors which I don't know how to open
    • The acid tower is the only elemental tower without a door... Super suspicious...
Map:
Map of Mage Training Area


Notes:

Entrance:
  • Almost all of the monsters wander over the training area. So I didn't bother to draw them in the maps.
  • Players will often collect dropped equipment and leave it in the starting room for other players to sell if they want to.
    • This can be a real quick way to earn a couple thousand gold coins
  • Most of the monsters are resistant to a single type of elemental or magical damage
    • I'll leave it up to you to figure out most of the resistances but in general it's pretty easy to guess.
  • Mage apprentices are some of the tougher roaming monsters.
    • They will cast an offensive spell which can hit back-row party members
    • They will also cast Mirror Image repeatedly so make sure you have someone or something doing lots of attacks against them to dispel the images
    • They can also cast cure critical wounds to heal themselves.
    • You can tell the resistances the Mages have by the color of their clothes:
      • Bland Green: Poison
      • Golden: Magic
      • Painfully Orange: Psychic? Maybe?
      • Canary Yellow: Acid
      • Fiery Red: Fire
      • Fuzzy Purple: Air
  • At the end of the acid tower if you wait in the room long enough an acid blob will appear and attack you.
    • It will periodically cast acid rain which is an area attack
    • It also casts cure critical wounds which is really annoying
Kill Tracker:
  • An apprentice wearing (color) clothing
    • 8000 exp
    • The clothing color tells you what element they are resistant to.
    • Drops a random weapon
  • A puff of black smoke hovers here

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...
