Notes From BatMud

  Introduction: Monks unlock the ability to plant an apple tree. This tree takes several Batmud years to grow, (equivalent to a couple of real life months), and provides a number of specialty quests to defend it as well as some bonuses. Apple Tree Bonuses: The very first apple you harvest from your tree will restore you to a "very young" youth. Which is amazing. Note: This apple can be given to other players and it works on them as well. If you don't want to reincarnate due to old age, this is a much better option than expensive youth scrolls that can sometimes fail (with horrible results). If you need another youth apple, you can always cut down your apple tree and grow another one. Apples harvested from the tree will provide your character an experience boost that lasts a couple of days. Eventually if your tree grows powerful enough, you will be granted a monk staff that you can wield when performing martial arts and provides additional bonuses. How to Improve Your Appl...

  Overview: After earning 20 levels in a martial arts guild (Warrior Monks or the "secret assassination guild") you can join a sect that will provide additional skills, bonuses, and will modify your martial arts attacks. Right now there are three sects to choose from, each of which provide different bonuses and quests. While you can switch between sects, the reputation/skills you earn from them is not shared and you can only make the switch once a week. Learning Sect Powers: Important Point: While sect powers are improved as your character gains EXP, they do not actually cost any real EXP beyond the initial cultivation cost. This is nice for newbies as they are essentially "free". That being said, you need to actively work at saving the bonus EXP through meditation, and high level players have it easier since they are probably earning more EXP than newer players.  Learning New Sect Powers: Sect powers will be revealed to you as you train them up, but you can't u...

Introduction: Monks unlock access to four different trainers once they have performed enough Iron Palm attacks (roughly 100 attacks). Each of these trainers will teach you three different attack skills of varying difficulty. These skills do not cost EXP to train and only increase in effectiveness through using them. These skills can also be chained into combos that speed up subsequent attacks and provide unique bonuses. To unlock these attack skills you will need to visit the trainers who are on different spots on four continents and then complete several challenges. General Overview of Skills: From each trainer you can learn three skills They are 2 round, 4 round, and 6 round skills Aka: Light, Medium, and Heavy From a base damage perspective (very rough estimate on a *good* hit): Light: 100 hitpoints of damage Medium: 200 hitpoints of damage Heavy: 300 hitpoints of damage Each skill will also provide a "special" bonus Furnachia: (Chance to) Apply +Dam Debuff to the target V...

Guild Location: Main Guild Location: Continent :  Lucetium World Location:  West of  Lorenchia City. To join the Monk Guild (Warriors of the Brotherhood) you'll need to go around the mountains to the west, and follow the river to the center island. If you are new player, take your time since you won't have swimming or water walking trained, so you'll swallow a lot of water and take damage Also there often are tough aggressive vampire bats (b) wandering around the lake so make sure you avoid them while going to the guild. An easier option is to look around the city of Lorenchia to see if there is a navigator tree (t) that will teleport you to the Monk guild location. Note:  This is also where your main Monk quests will be. Your statue room is also in this area but will need to be unlocked via guild quests. Additional Training Locations: There are other trainers on different continents that can teach you specific skills. A guide to these special trainers is available [...
