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.

Klidel rubs her chin thoughtfully, then continues, "We've got a need for some kindlin'. Funny, but you need something tougher than those rotten boards. Head out to the wood shed and break some branches down for kindlin. You will need to do 50 hit points of damage for each repetition." Klidel also adds, "Repeat this 6 times."
