Notes From BatMud

  Continent: Lucetium Description: Important: This is an "instanced" area. Basically a new version of the area is created for every player that enters it, so multiple people can attempt to complete the quests here without getting in each others ways. You can not enter with a party. You must be solo. A number of the  Efiilas  continent quests can be done here These tasks fall under the "ultra hard work" FYI Also the source of magical water that can "cure" player afflictions. This is super helpful!!! Are you a toad? Do you have a gambling addiction? Then come on down to the Dwarf Warehouse! Quests: Some of the "Ultra Hard Work" Efiilas Continent Quests can be completed here Equipment: N one that I know of.  Open Questions: What is up with the empty boxes you can force open? How about the vents? Can you fix them? Why would you want to fix them? Map: Notes: Entrance: In the very first room is a button If you "push button" it lowers the por...

Continent:   Laenor Description: The town of Oakvale is known for their faerie merchants in the south You can buy herbs, gnome gadgets, clothing, and some weird specialty items here. A mid-level area but there are no aggressive monsters so it is safe to explore There are some secrets for players who want to delve into the backstory and help the townsfolk. Quests: Get rid of the ghost in the stable Not a tracked area quest, but it is something to do. Equipment: Brown gardening gloves +5% Plant Lore Can be bought from Kia-kai Stormwind for 30k gold A green and brown rubber frogsuit Will transform you into a frog. This is *not* a buff.

Continent:  Lucetium Description: Treetop village with a lot of locked doors, each with a unique key that changes per boot. Basically, expect to do a lot of searching to unlock all the doors. There's some "secrets" in the locked rooms, but mostly this just opens up more areas to find creatures to kill. In the "non-secret" areas, there is only on aggressive creature (a racist old catfolk) that will attack non-catfolk players on sight. This makes the area fairly safe to explore for newbies. The locked rooms do not grant explore EXP though, so feel free to skip them unless you are trying to solve the mini-quests here. The bridge guards WILL become aggressive if you start to attack townsfolk though. So be careful about that. Tons of secrets to discover and it is linked to several other areas E.g. Orc Samurai Some of the creatures will block you if you attack them and try to flee, so this is a good area to come with a party so you can ensure you kill things without n...

Continent:  Furnachia Description: Large area with lots of rooms and secrets to explore Seems like a great mid-level party area. If you are learning how to lead a party this is a great place to do that. I'd recommend bringing a couple of ropes if you want to explore some of the secrets.

Everyone who enters it gets their own private instance Location of the "Ultra Hard Work" Feldspar continent quests Quests: Location of the "Ultra Hard Work" Feldspar continent quests I've been told you can start a farm here, but I'm not sure if that is true or not.

Map: Notes: Entrance and Plaza: At the entrance is a switch that you can flip to lock the entrance of meadowshire if you want Not sure why you would want to do that... In the Plaza are a ton of characters that move from r...

Continent:  Laenor Description: An ancient and abandoned castle, taken over by dragons, ghosts, and (worst of all) musicians Decent place for newbies to explore and gain EXP, as long as they avoid the two big aggressive monsters. Great place for midbie EQ parties to get experience taking down bigger monsters. Quests: N one that I know of.  Equipment: An ancient Dragon's amulet +2 SPR, +Light Obtained by killing the  Piers Dragon (75k monster)   A small jeweled belt +2 SPR Obtained by killing Blur (100k monster) Open Questions: As a general point, there obviously are secret areas in this castle I haven't discovered how to access yet. I feel like I just scraped the surface of exploring this area. How do you get past the huge stone in the basement? There's also three scary ghosts (all named dread) throughout the castle that drop semi-unique items like brilliant gem. Is this related to getting past the stone in the basement? What is up with the armchair, and the "an...

Continent:  Laenor Description: One of the newer areas of Batmud.  Contains a Batmud story quest with some a m a z i n g 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.
