Desert Town of Dozo

Here's a quick post about a few areas of interest if you've never played on BadLands RPG before. Dozo is the main town/starting point in the server, the screen captures below are in no specific order either so don't think of this as a walk through. You can only add +1 to your gear in Dozo, but eventaully when you get to Newport and the Underdark you'll be able to upgrade your gear even further.


This friendly fellow sells gloves if you so happen to be playing a monk, then you can add enhancements to them if so desired, assuming you have enough money and the required character level.



The dye guy is fairly obvious, he sells dye. But you don't need to buy any, BadLands RPG has an excellent crafting system that allows you to fully change the color and apperance of your weapons/armor.



Here is Ekko's Arena, this is where you and 1 other person battle each other to see who reigns supreme. But be warned! DO NOT ENTER ALONE, there is a slight bug and you will be trapped in the arena until a DM can port you out. So if you decide to try the arena MAKE SURE you have somebody join it with you.



The Dozo Bindstone allows you to port to where you previously died if you choose to respawn in Dozo, it's a fairly simple concept so I won't go into detail.



This is first place you want to visit after leaving the Oasis Restort after character creation. The Armory is where you get your weapons and armor, AW YEAH. Make sure to talk to everyone inside so you whats going on. "Shorty" will be your friend in the future, he also lets you "re-level" ONE level if you make a mistake.



The magic shop is where you get your belt, boots, cloak, rings, amulet. Make sure to buy all this stuff and add enhancements to them as soon as you can afford it. Things get tough quick around here so make sure your gear is maxed out when you can.



Wanted Dead or Alive. Reading this will explain all the PvP rules on BadLands RPG, and display your PK points if you've aquired any (I think)



The Server Lady is cool, she knows all about the server and such, so make sure to check her out. But don't let her catch you looking :)



Soppi is who you want to talk to when your inventory gets clogged up with items that other shops won't buy. It's worth it clean out your junk and get the money in return, item crafting gets very expensive and you'll need all the money you can scrounge up. Plus I think you can get some thief stuff, but I forgot. der.



This bad-boy is the character deleter. So you've managed to make the crappiest character ever seen, one quick conversation with this shark and you'll be a thing of the past. I don't know if it got fixed, try not to re-make a character with the same name as one previously deleted, you can come back and the whole town will think you're hostil and they will attack you on site. Not a good place to be at level 1.



Well, thats the short version for now. Hopefully this helps out a bit and keeps you from bugging our friendly DM's to much. :) Happy Hunting.

Nice topic. Like the old one about the oasis resort.
Too bad you weren't using the map for exact locations of each fella you were visiting. Not that would take long to find them all.. lol
Once again, good tutorial-post there!

Very nice!

I took all the dyes away from the Dye Guy several months ago when I added all 256 colors to the Radial Crafting Menu. The color names are not finished but all possible colors are there.

Wanted Dead or Alive: will list Wanted Characters, but only if that char is logged on. It will show you your own PK points. PK (Player Killer) are permanant (forever) and givin out for killing other chars that are more than 5 levels less than you. Get enough PK Points and you might end up in jail. The server will release you after 20 minutes. Logging out before the 20 minutes is up will reset the counter and start you over at next logon. Hunting players at your own level will NOT get you PK Points. Being in a guild and hunting enemy guild members of ANY level will NOT get you PK Points.

I am still having problems with the Dozo Shark. I fixed the "hostile" problem, but, now new chars with the exact name as the deleted will not get processed correctly. #@%&* If it's not one thing it's another.

Currently +5 gear is the best you can buy. (+6, +7 and +8 can be found) I am working (slowly) on a new +6 shop for strength based melee builds. I am putting it in the empty castle on Sheelo Mountain. That's a level 50 area.

Thanks for the Update Quildurn. Is the enpty castle on Sheelo Mountain Helm's Hold ?........or another place ?......I shall have to explore :)

Looking forward to making the +6 weapons for my Melee Chars, should get the balance right this time :)

All the Best ........Blade

You mean the castle on top of Sheelo, surrounded with archers and an assassin? No, that one is the one Q mentioned about putting the +6 lvl shop inside it.

Helm's Hold is through south sheelo, or going west through lonely slopes, past the dev spiders.

Blade said...

Ok ty Deimonos :)

It would be cool if the Melee Martial weapons included Bows :)

I have a nice Arcane Archer & i am planning 2 different zen archery builds :)

All the Best .........Blade :)

Melee is Swords.
Missile is Bow and Arrow.

Helms Hold is a cave, not a Castle.

Yes the Castle surrounded with archers and assassins.

Will be more than just an upgrade shop there.
