Batter barriers

Batter barriers is a Warrior Guild skill that allows warriors to open locked doors or boxes from the treasure system.

Battering

When battering things, the amount of damage is affected by both your training in batter and the weight of your weapon. Damage weighting will also add more damage to your successful strikes.

Some especially effective weapons are glaes clubs, or any of granite weapons in the Warrior Guild shop. The granite mattocks weigh on the order of 90 lbs, so inflict damage quite well. They cost 7500 silver.

Tasks Assigned

Each of these tasks requires you to go to an area and find things to batter. You will be assigned a location and thing to batter. Each time you do an amount of damage specified by the taskmaster you get a rep.

NOTE: If you do not GET BOARD, you will not be able to BATTER BOARD.

Batter boxes

The task of battering boxes is different in that you need to supply your own fodder. One interesting thing about this task is that if you find a strong box, such as mithril or silver, and batter it enough to get a rep without breaking it, then put it aside for some amount of time, the box will regenerate. Later, you can retrieve that box again and get another rep off of it without it breaking it. This method allows you to get all the box battering tasks done with minimal danger and effort.
