Help: Saving items
Reboot, or 'boot' as it is commonly called is when the mud
shut downs for a moment, restarts and during this most of
the areas are reset; objects on the ground disappear
and so on.
All items you are carrying (that save) save over reboot!
Carried cash (money) saves over reboot. Note that there is
a limit to how many carried items will save and if you
exceed that limit you may lose items. Although the limit
in practice may be higher, a good rule of thumb is that
if you can safely 'rest' at an inn then you are not carrying
too many items.
You can do 'tell damogran boot' for info on next reboot.
BatMUD reboots every day at noon EET (Eastern European).
To save your stuff you can put it into a chest or a rentroom
for when you do not want to or can not carry it.
Rentrooms can be found in Arelium in Laenor and Shadowkeep
in Rothikgen, they cost 3000/2400 gold per day respectively.
Remember that they store up to ten items for 24 hours only.
If you do not pick up your stuff before then or prolong the
rent, your items are lost. Gone.
Alternatively you can find an inn and rent a lodging
there. For a small fee all your items and location are saved
until the next time you log in.
NEW PLAYERS: If you can access Pleasantville, you can stay
for 1(one) gold in the Trusted Lockers of Pleasantville,
located directly to the north from the Central Square.
There is also the Last Keg Inn in Dortlewall that offers
accommodation to adventurers.
You need a safe place to store your chest in so nobody
can steal your stuff. While rentrooms provide you with total
protection from thieves, they are quite expensive. If you
store your belongings in a chest, you need to provide the
protection yourself.
Chests can be stored either in playercity rooms, or they can
be dug into the ground somewhere in the outworld. The latter
is not commonly used since it is quite unsafe.
Chests can be bought from merchants, and their cost varies
according to how many items they can store. Look at the carts
around the major cities, like Arelium, to see if there are
any chests for sale, or ask for one on the 'wanted' channel.
You can rent or buy a room in a playercity and store your
chest there. Playercity costs can vary a lot as they are
defined by players. Usually you can find a room for a little
above 10k gold per RL month. If you want to buy it, it can
cost over ten times as much.
If you want to buy a room, make sure to check if the room
comes with a guard. You will probably want a guard that can
block possible intruders from invading. Guards come in
various shapes and forms, and they can be bought from the
recruitment office of the playercity.
