Vendace Shore

Continent: Laenor

Description:

  • One of the newer areas of Batmud. 
  • Contains a Batmud story quest with some amazing rewards
  • The quest is going to cost you a lot of money, and I suspect it will be quite involved
  • Note; I've only just barely scratched the surface of this area.
Quests:
  • Area Quest: Vendance Shore
    • This is a Batmud Stories quest, so it has multiple parts and uses the new stories mechanism
    • Batmud Stories Name: Laesa's Blessing
Equipment:
  • A silver amulet of Laesa
    • +5 Wis, +2% bolt of knowledge, +2 cold res
  • An old leather sleeve
    • +3 Wis, +3 Int, Bound to Character
  • A rotten wooden staff
    • +3 Int, +10% magic missile, +dam to magic missile
  • A dark leather bound tome
    • +4 Wis, +10% reanimation
  • A talisman decorated with symbols of Draen-Dalar
    • +3 Wis, +5% aura of irreverence
  • A white shin guard
    • +3 Str, +3 Dex, +light, Bound to Character
  • A beaver fur coat
    • +1 Dam, +1 Avoid
  • A light grey armour suit

  • A damned amethyst sabre
    • +5 Int, +magical dam, +permanent damned armament
Open Questions:
  • I got up to the part where I needed to purchase a lot of lumber from player merchants and decided that I probably should focus on some less involved areas first.
  • I'm posting this very incomplete guide since it may be a bit before I get back to exploring this area.

Notes:

Town Streets:
  • When you first enter Vendace Shore, you'll notice it looks like a normal town like the city of Arelium or Dortlewall
  • All the room descriptions talk about how it's weird you don't see villages walking about. The only creatures you'll encounter on the streets are some seagulls.

Starting the Batmud Stories Quest:

  • Go to the back of the Merson's house to meet Matthew Merson.
    • This will make the Batmuds story available for you to accept
  • To start the story use the command "story accept Laesa's Blessing"
    • Next use the command "story choose Laesa's Blessing"
    • Note: You can view all the Batmud stories you have available using the command "story list"
    • At any time you can just type "story" to see the next step of your quest
  • Next, "listen to Matthew". This will update your story.
    • He will ask for a beer from the Murky Minnow to continue his story.
  • Go to Murky's Minnow and go into the bar (one west), and buy a beer
    • I like that the bartender puts a minnow in the beer. That made me smile.
    • Now bring it back to Matthew and give him the beer
    • You can now read the next entry of the Story.
  • The next part of the story is you need to talk to Hollie Strange in the chapel
    • Go to the chapel and "ask strange about Laesa's Blessing" to advance the story
  • Mrs. Strange wants help to perform funerals. For this she needs two items:
    • 200 kg of wood
      • You can buy this wood from the material exchange in Arelium, or you could ask on the sales channel for merchant players to help you out
      • This is a lot of wood, and your character may not be able to carry it all at one time.
      • Once you have the wood, you can go to the funeral pyre in the graveyard of Vendace Shore, and "toss nugget" to toss the wooden nuggets into the fire.
    • Two ceremonial coffins
      • Go to Corra in the boathouse and "ask cora about coffins"
        • You need to do this to advance the story.
      • You need really good wood for the coffin.
        • 50 kg of wood of at least good refinement
        • Also it needs to be either in one block of 50 kg or two blocks of 25 kg each
  • That's as far as I've gotten!

Kill Tracker:

  • A seagull circling above the square
    • 2000 exp
  • a small bat flies around the belfry 
    • 500 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...
