Aardwolf Quests, Task, Goal Guide

For the MUD Aardwolf.


Why? Couldn't find a dedicated help site on this topic and Aardwolf wiki does not seem to allow editing. If someone searches enough, hopefully this will be helpful to someone in the future.

Who am I? Played MUDs long ago. Got back into it recently. Just beginning with Aardwolf.

How can I help? Further development may come if people actually use this. Please comment if you have anything to contribute! This is one of the few sources available, and it would be nice to expand it! Just leave a comment below.

What? Left out details to keep the game fun. you'll still need to figure out some parts yourself (story, actions, etc).

Quest / Task / Goal research resources:
Item / Equipment finder

1) listen [npc]
2) say key words -- names, items, 'yes'
3) nod
4) check 'task' for hints
5) find items in the room to read or examine
6) whenever you see "other" as an exit, type exits to see the custom exit command

Listen to ___. say laporta

go to brewington fountain, open door west. then go east again to find laporta.

go west to brewing vats. go up to find jod the brewmaster. say "THE STRONG STUFF" in caps (took my friend and I forever to find out via a nice respondee).

Find binky the ogre in northern woods - his name's not in the description when you first walk in. say "the strong stuff".

get yeast, hops, blood and something else in the area below where you found jod. after you kill mobs, sometimes an object appears in the room. type "gather [the object]" for a chance to find one of each of the required items.

return to binky. he'll want money and a keg. go back to area below jod to find a keg. give keg 1000 gold and he will accept the keg at the same time and give you your bottle.

[trivia: after this point, if you go to jod, as long as you do not have a bottle of "the strong stuff" in your inventory, jod will give you another bottle]

return to laporta. challenge him again. if you pass out and fail, get another bottle and try again.
