Ivory Tower

Continent: Laenor

Description:

  • A "high level newbie/midbie" area. Good for practicing how to run a party.
  • All the creatures here are of the "good alignment" making this a good place for evil characters to strengthen their reputation.
  • Many of the creatures in this area poison. It really helps to have someone in your party that can cure it.
Quests:
  • None that I know of. 
Equipment:
  • Steel Studded Gauntlets [Link]
    • +2% Stun
    • Obtained from Puff the Dragon
  • A Dragonscale Tail Guard
    • +2 Hit, -1 STR, +1% Brawling
    • Obtained from Puff the Dragon
Open Questions:
  • Still haven't killed Puff yet...

Notes:

Entrance (Tower):
  • Going up the tower, you will encounter a guard dressed in white armour that will block your progress.
    • The guard will still block you if you are invisible or sneaking
    • Luckily the guard is pretty easy to kill
  • Further up the tower, an elven warrior will also block your progress
    • You can't sneak by them either
  • Near the top you will encounter a Winged Warrior who also blocks you.
    • Kill them as well to get by
  • At the top of the tower, you can go east to jump on a small cloud
    • This is a one way path. Once you get on the cloud you can't go back to the tower the way you came.
Clouds:
  • There are wandering giants in the clouds. They have a lot of hitpoints but don't do a ton of damage.
    • They will cast the "Mage's Bane" poison which will drain your spellpoints over an extended period of time, making them difficult for magic users to kill.
    • Sometimes they will instead cast the "Heart Breaker" poison which is a weak poison but does HP damage over time, so you'll need to make sure to cure it either via a spell or run back to town to a sauna.
  • Each of the "ups" will lead to places you can't go back down to where you came from
    • The first up (to the room with the two winged warriors), if you go down you will find yourself on a lonely cloud. If you "jump" from it, you will end up somewhere in the outerworld near the base of the tower.
    • Once you go up past the two winged walkers, you will not be able to go back down again the way you came.
  • The winged walkers (basically cloud squirrels) will poison you if you attack them as well.
  • Two avenging angels will block you from going further up and seeing Puff the Magic Dragon
    • If you exit down where the two avenging angels are, it will take you on a one way trip back to where the cloud giants were. (Basically this forms a one way circular path).
    • The angels don't give much exp but hit like 15k monsters and will cast levin bolt.
  • Be warned: If you go up from the avenging angels you will encounter Puff the Magic Dragon, and they are pissed off! They will attack you the second you enter the room and they hit like a ton of bricks.
    • I've been told Puff will cast banish as well, so make sure all your party has heavy weight cast on them (or are wearing lead rings).

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...

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...
