Newbie Enchanter Quests

 Description:

  • These are daily quests that allow players under level 61 to enchant "non-magical" equipment with magical attributes.
  • Players over level 61 can still complete the first half of the quests to collect gems. They can then use them the next time they reincarnate (and are under the level cap).
  • Considering there is a ton of non-magical equipment that you'll likely be using (aka rigs/backpacks, o-yoroi armour, and shields) these quests can be very valuable since buying similar equipment can cost you millions of gold.
    • This goes double for rigs/backpacks where the only other reliable source of stats for that equipment spot is through twice a year Rixx equipment events.
  • The quests will take you all over Batmud and introduce you to new areas and quests. So completing these quests can be a lot of fun and can help get you out of any ruts that you've been falling in.

Quick Summary of Workflow:

  • First, pick the level of difficulty you want to attempt.
    • The levels are Easy, Medium, and Hard, and correspond to more powerful enchantments.
    • There is a fourth "bonus" level of difficulty that requires a player of the Templar or Spider guild with the "Pray" skill/spell trained to 90%+ to help out with the crafting of the enchantment. This can be used to make even more powerful enchantments from the Hard quests.
  • The next step is to earn magical gems from the shady vendor, Pietro J. DeCrystato,  in the outerworld by Newberry park.
    • You'll need to complete five "tasks" that vary each boot.
    • You can only accept one job a day from the vendor. So if you are given a task you don't think you can complete you'll need to try again a different day.
  • After that, you'll need to talk to one of two different enchanters to take the gem and "empower it" so you can use it to enchant your items. They of course have their own quests as well.
    • The Drow enchanter will require that you bring them a specific corpse.
    • The Valar paladin enchanter will require that you have completed a level or area quest. This can be super easy if you've done a lot of quests, or super hard if you haven't.
    • You can obtain quests from both of them in the same boot (you don't have to only pick one). So I strongly recommend you first go to the Valar. If you are given a quest you haven't done before you can then accept a kill quest from the Drow instead.
  • Once you "empower" a gem you can use it to enchant a piece of equipment. The types of enchantments you can choose are dependent on the type of equipment you are enchanting.
    • You can also upgrade or replace existing newbie enchantments on your equipment if you change you mind later.

Outerworld Map of Locations:

Shady Vendor Tasks (Obtaining Gems):
  • Pietro J. DeCrystato, the shady vendor, can be found in the outerworld near the Newberry Park.
  • If you "ask vendor about items" Pietro will reply that he is looking for 'easy items', 'medium items', or 'hard items'.
  • If you ask about a level of items (such as "ask vendor about easy items"), Pietro will assign you a quest to collect five items.
    • You can only pick one quest per boot. The list changes each boot, so if you get a really tough list you can always just wait a day and ask again to get a new set of items.
    • When you first start out, I *highly* recommend picking "easy items" to get a hang of how the process works.
  • The items quests will fall into several different categories of tasks:
    • A general item purchased from a store or a player. These usually just require money, but it can be difficult to find them in a store sometimes so you may need to go out and hunt for it yourself.
    • A specific item from a particular area. For example, this may require retrieving a golden potato from the goblin farm area. The problem is that Pietro does not always tell you the area, (he just wants that golden potato), so these can require asking for advice from other players or really having a deep understanding of the game.
      • Note: The items requests from Pietro don't always match the actual item name. For example, he might ask for "a shovel from the caretaker of wane's mountain", but the actual item name is "a simple long-handled shovel".
    • A "Kill Required" item. These items must be obtained from a monster that you have personally killed. Being in a party that kills the creature counts as long as you were in the room when it was killed.
      • Note: You can use "help armour list" to see different types of armours for different slots which can be useful when obtaining "random" items for a specific location.
  • To turn in an item you simply "show {{ ITEM }} to pietro"

Easy Acquire Items Tasks:

Specific Items Obtained From Areas or Skills:

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...
