The world of BatMUD is vast and always expanding. The area quests are numerous and their official BatMUD difficulty tag relative to the level of the players their creators were targeting. A quest might be Not Very Hard (''for a Highbie''), and as such IMPOSSIBLE (''for a newbie''). Even the Easy (''for Newbies in a party'') quest might be Challenging (''for a Newbie Solo''). It must also be noted that some quests, although classified as easy, require a specific spell or item which might not be as easily attainable for every character build. If you find that you are stuck, it might be time to party up or put it aside for a future Reinc.

Message for the Newbie Questers

The world of BatMUD is vast and always expanding. The area quests are numerous and their official BatMUD difficulty tag relative to the level of the players their creators were targeting. A quest might be Not Very Hard (for a Highbie), and as such IMPOSSIBLE (for a newbie). Even the Easy (for Newbies in a party) quest might be Challenging (for a Newbie Solo). It must also be noted that some quests, although classified as easy, require a specific spell or item which might not be as easily attainable for every character build. If you find that you are stuck, it might be time to party up or put it aside for a future Reinc.

What follows is an attempt to reclassify the area quests into those intended for Newbies, Midbies and Highbies, based on the difficulty set by the quest author, the amount of brain/knowledge/power it takes, and the area it takes place in. Of course, the separation is not strict and a party of determined Newbie might well take on Midbie Quests if they so desire!

In short, have fun questing and don't forget BatMUD is a game to play for a looong time, no need to rush!
- Anks the Newbie Quester

Quests for Newbies

(Or regainers)

Definition of newbie is apparently anything from Lvl 1 noob to a Lvl 80 mortal. So, please exercise caution when entering a new area, even if the quest is listed as Easy. It might be easy because it is very straight-forward.

Quest Name Official Difficulty Notes
A day at the circus Easy End mob is kinda hard, easy if you Party Up!
Alchemist's dilemma Easy
Balloon Ride Easy
City tour Easy
Coffee time Easy Area is Level locked to 55, but quest can still be done if you relo in.
Competing architects Easy No fighting needed, look/search AllTheThings(tm)
Ferry Easy
Gemcutter Easy
Harbormaster Easy
Help atriel Easy Quest syntax is hard-locked to max level 40!
Intrigue at dark castle Easy One slightly bigger mob, easy if you party up, or if you are a big bad newbie fighter.
Kitty Easy
The lost love Easy There is a tricky bit, but doable :P
Miller Easy
Paladin stronghold Easy
Quest room Easy
Rescue the bunny Easy
Robbery in moonlight Easy
Save the farmers Easy Party or leveling needed for ~60-85k end mob.
The lost troglodyte rod Easy
View artwork Easy
Visit Easy
Dortlewall town patrol Not Very Hard Come on, it was made part of the tutorial... Should have been classified 'Easy' :)
It's a drill Not Very Hard Level-locked to level 40. If trying to do it as non-fighter or first reinc, you might want to party up.
Necromancer's dream Not Very Hard
The ant hill Not Very Hard Will most probably need a party if trying to do it as fresh newbie :)

Quests for Midbies

What even is a Midbie? Level 70-100 mortal that has reinc'ed a few times and been there for a few years? Couple Rebirths? For the purpose of this classification, it's for players for whom it's almost insulting to think that they would find the above-listed quests hard to do, unlike Newbies that have to really work or party up for the Not Very Hard ones.

Quest Name Official Difficulty Notes
Caves of orac Easy Some tougher mobs and wandering aggros. Easy for a super-fighter Midbie, or party of low/midbies.
Restoring albert's honor Easy For midbie parties.
Amulet (quest) Not Very Hard Area is not so very newbie friendly, so, if it's meant to be not very hard, it must be for at least Midbies!
Folklorist road trip Not Very Hard Need some world knowledge and the ability to move around in higher level areas without dying.
Help loretta Not Very Hard Bigger kill at the end, strong newbie big party, or midbie small party/solo
It's dog Not Very Hard Newbie-me found Pennywise before finding the Dog, ran like hell. Midbie party recommanded for the one bigger fight.
White Pudding Not Very Hard Need to be either in the right build, or with a party, to do that one. Requires some fighting skills and battle-knowledge, at least!
Tears of laesa Challenging Newbie-me got half by partying, so I'll say Midbie. Although, apparently Vampire is Highbie level, so...
The lost staff Challenging Newbie-me found the start and the way to end, but only managed to finish it as midbie.

Quests for Highbies

Honestly, all the IMPOSSIBLE quests just got put here in the Highbie section. Feel free to move some to Midbies if needed... or to grab some quests from the Midbies if you feel like having some not-impossible ones.

Quest Name Official Difficulty Notes
Conquer the known world IMPOSSIBLE
Solo the haunted mansion IMPOSSIBLE
Treasuries of the nocilis valley IMPOSSIBLE
When all hope is lost IMPOSSIBLE


Un classified yet

If you are the quest maker and want to specify what 'bie you had in mind, feel free! Otherwise, if some new/mid/highbies would like to give their input, the page author is kinda newbie-ish and has no idea where these should be because they haven't poked their nose in there yet.
