![]() ![]() He was 23 years old, the privileged son of New York Gov. © The Metropolitan Museum of Art / Art Resource, NY Rockefeller was most impressed by the Asmat people’s ancestor poles, or bisj-elaborate, sexually suggestive signs that a death had yet to be avenged. If Michael Rockefeller had had a radio when his catamaran overturned in this exact spot in 1961, he never would have disappeared. I hadn’t wanted to bring the phone, but at the last minute I’d thought how stupid it would be to die for want of a call. I crawled forward, reached under a plastic tarp and fumbled blindly in my duffel for the Ziploc bag holding my satellite phone, and slipped it into my pocket. We were crossing the mouth of the Betsj River, a turbulent place of incoming tide and outrushing water, when the waves slammed and our 30-foot longboat rolled. It is a world of satiny, knee-deep mud and mangrove swamps stretching inland, a great hydroponic terrarium. Here it’s hard to know where the water begins and the land ends, as the Arafura Sea’s 15-foot tides inundate the coast of southwest New Guinea, an invisible swelling that daily slides into this flat swamp and pushes hard against great outflowing rivers. In its 10,000 square miles, there is but one airstrip, and outside of the main “city” of Agats, there isn’t a single cell tower. There’s still not a single road or automobile. Until 50 years ago, there were no wheels here. Hornbills with five-inch beaks and blue necks.Īnd secrets, spirits, laws and customs, born of men and women who have been walled off by ocean, mountains, mud and jungle for longer than anyone knows. There are flocks of brilliant red-and-green parrots. Crocodiles 15 feet long prowl their banks, and jet-black iguanas sun on uprooted trees. And sago palm, whose pith can be pounded into a white starch and which hosts the larvae of the Capricorn beetle, both key sources of nutrition. In the jungle there are wild pig, the furry, opossumlike cuscus, and the ostrichlike cassowary. It’s teeming with shrimp and crabs and fish and clams. Everything you could possibly need is here. But let’s focus on his Apprentice for a while.Asmat is, in its way, a perfect place. The mystery of how to get to the Minotaur Mage and what exactly he is doing there lives on. You have probably heard of Minotaur Mage dwelling in the undergrounds of Rookgaard, in a place called Mino Hell and Sheng – his apprentice. It’s kinda sad that the raid was removed, but at least I’m here to tell you the tale and confirm that such thing happened in the past.Īpprentice Sheng – so mysterious that even his name hides something All I can tell you is that the only raid including wild warriors and hunters nowadays appears north of Edron …Kind regards, Manina“ “ I’m afraid it’s impossible to reconstruct when this raid has been removed. User Shawtay provided a very interesting answer, which she got right from the source, as she asked Cipsoft directly. I asked about it on TibiaQA, as I wondered if it still occurs. Later on, I’ve tried to find some more screenshots or maybe videos of players clearing this raid, but never succeed to find any. What you can see below is the only screenshot I have taken. There were wild warriors and hunters roaming around – 7 in total. I stumbled across this raid only once, in 2006 and I was really surprised when I saw a dead player’s body in such an unusual place. It took place on the east of Femor Hills, near the place where Bibby Bloodbath sometimes settles her camp. Once upon a time, there was a raid in Tibia and it was so rare that really barely anyone ever heard of it. One of the rarest Tibian raids – now removed It’s all because of Clyde’s side-smuggling business. So, if you wonder why there are so many phoenix eggs being sold on the market – now you have all the background. ![]() I haven’t found any other screenshots of this bug across the web. The bug got fixed very quickly – in like 2 hours, but many people managed to buy hundreds and thousands of phoenix eggs. Clyde was selling them like they were typical Tibian eggs – 2 gp each. Phoenix eggs looked like normal eggs back in 2008. Just after server save, I visited NPC Clyde, the innkeeper in Port Hope and to my astonishment, his assortment of wares got enriched by phoenix eggs! Phoenix eggs are actually quite hard to come by, as you can only get them from the Paradox Tower Quest or surprise nests (which didn’t exist then). ![]() Many years ago, in July 2008, I have been able to witness the occurrence of such bug. Some of them were really serious, some minor, but there were also bugs which were very interesting or even funny and got fixed so quickly that the news didn’t spread and the community wasn’t even aware of what happened. Was NPC Clyde a smuggler? – Forgotten bug ![]()
