Notes From BatMud

Continent:  Laenor Description: A decent place to earn some EXP and money The difficulty level varies widely for this area The werbies are trivial to kill The big maggot heals wicked fast, so you really need to be able to kill it the first go-around The golems really require a lowbie/midbie party to tackle Quests: No real quests that I know of Equipment: Shining Sword Retrieved from the maggot cave and cleaned of slime in the town Provides +2 hit. Not a great weapon as it doesn't do much damage but it is a decent piece of starting equipment. Sells for 8725 gold It has a sacrifice value of 130k making it a very popular item for highbies to sacrifice at shrines or use during Rixx equipment events. Items to sell Breastplate covered in slime 1500 gold Will reduce your stats if you wear it, so it is only good for selling Tiny spear 250 gold Stone weapons Worth only 50 to 150 gold Open Questions: I haven't explored the golem tower much Map: Notes: Entrance: In the second room there i...

Continent:  Laenor Quests: None that I know of. This is purely a (low) lowbie exp area. If you are under level 30, you can get ruby slippers here which let you teleport back to your starting location. Open Questions: There may be a special explore room here , but not sure where. Curious what happens if you kill Mumbaba Map: Notes: Entrance: Note: Once you enter here, you can't leave the way you came You need to go into the wibble village and "enter balloon" to leave. Right after the entrance you can "climb well" to go down into the well At the bottom of the well there is a frog If you "kiss frog" he will give you  a golden ball Killing Bambi gives you a set of antlers. Not sure if these can be used for anything. Blort Village: They also have a well you can climb down At the bottom of the well there is an ugly toad If you kiss this toad, you turn into a frog The chief Blort can turn you into a frog and is aggressive I really don't recommend messing ...

Continent:   Laenor Quests: LQ 24: Zoy's Inn Need to retrieve an old paperweight, a silver disc, and a saucer Requires a rope. While the quest text recommends buying one from the Arelium Tinker store, there is one you can find on the pirate ship. Open Questions: I've been told there is an alternate solution if you don't bring a rope and that it is very cool. I don't know what that is though. Map: Notes: Entrance (Inn, River Bank, and Pirate Ship): I'm going to wander a bit since I did the level quest around 15 years ago. So this isn't a quest focused write-up. In Zoy's Inn, if you ask the captain about the quest he says that he's looking for his three possessions that were stolen by bandits, but that the bandits were found killed by a bear and did not have the items on them. Another cool trick, you can 'pay' inkeeper 100 gold for a room You can then unlock the doors and go into them You can also "sleep" in the room to quickly regen if y...

Continent :  Rothikgen Description: Area for higher level newbies to grind experience and earn some money Based on the descriptions, this area seems based off the Smurf comics and not the TV shows. The location near shadowkeep makes things very convenient to players that find themselves exploring in Rothikgen Most mobs drop equipment, so you can make some money hauling and selling everything at Shadowkeep Quests: None that I'm awa re of. Just a low level experience grinding area Equipment: None special equipment of note. There's a few unique items like "the cloak of Gargamel", but it's not worth much Open Questions: None really. If you find anything interesting please let me know, but this area doesn't seem to have any quests or secrets built into it. Map: Notes: Entrance and Forest: When entering Smurville, there is a small pile of gold coins (around 60 coins) in the shadowgate. This respawns fairly regularly. The forest contains some super easy traveling ani...

Continent : Laenore Quests:   Get cubeman his pet (Reward: Rainbow sword) Really just an experience area Prime place for player killing (Freezer) Map: Notes: In the upper NW corner of the map, you can "move rocks" to open up a passage to the troll's room In the upper NE corner of the map, past the swamp there is a cube. You can "touch cube" to enter it. The cubic man inside is saying they miss their pet. But he will not answer any of your questions or interact with you. If you kill the turtle it drops a tiny turtleshell If you give the turtleshell to the cubic man, he rewards you with a rainbow sword!!! If you kill a guard to the gatehouse, they drop the "key to the castle" In the kitchen, you can "search pile" to find the key to the freezer The cook is asking for salt, but I don't know if there is anything to do for that In the freezer you can kill an ice cube Note: This freezer used to be a very popular player killing area back in the d...

Continent:   Laenor Quests: AQ: A Day at the Circus Special Explore Room: There is a special explore room on top of the big tent. You can get there by shooting yourself out of the cannon Open Questions: What is the text when you complete the area quest? I haven't actually killed the lion yet. Map: Notes: First goal: Get two pins Entrance (Going West): It costs money to get past the ticket seller. I'm not sure how much, and it may increase with your levels. Asking a woman about the circus she mentions there is a lion on the loose At the fortune teller, Monica is missing her crystal ball, which somebody stole. If you 'ask monica about tip' she gives a lot of good newbie tips though You can also "search table" to find random gems (which might be nice if you are a newbie druid) At the beggar, I put 15 silver in his hat, and then he would answer questions He confirms that a lion is on the loose If you ask him about children, he mentions them disappearing in the bus...

Continent: Laenor Quests: Help the Baron (LQ 35) Map: Notes: Entrance: The first thing I notice is there are guards keeping me out of the castle, and guards keeping me out of the religious compound. Going to do some exploring first before I attempt to force my way through. The guards at the religious compound are praising Beldarus the builder. To the west, there is a stable. In the stable there is a broken cart for the church, and an abandoned ladder, though I couldn't interact with either one of them Far to the west side, there is a door that requires a key to unlock. Going around the garden of the castle I encountered a nervous man with a crowbar trying to open the back door. The description implies he is a burglar. If you kill him, he drops a crowbar If you wield the crowbar, you supposedly can use it to force the door to gain access to the castle I may not be strong enough for this. Aka I just scrape the lock. It's not opening for me. Someone luckily already opened up the ...
