Mini World Changes

Mini World Changes were in the Winter Update 2011. Just as World Changes do, they allow for a more dynamic shaping of the Tibian world but unlike them, these cannot be triggered through actions made by Players. These changes happen somewhat rarely and do not come with warnings. They last a few hours. NPC Towncryer tells you about these mini changes, by shouting a message.

Bank Robbery
Towncryer: Hear me! Hear me! Stand and deliver! That's what they shout, robbing banks in main's coastal towns and then hide out. Catch the thieves and make us proud, bring back the gold to please the crowd!

This change affects one of the banks of Ab'Dendriel, Carlin, Thais and Venore.

From time to time thieves will rob one of the Banks of Tibia and the bankers will ask you for help. In order to restore the Bank's functionality you will have to find and fight the thieves and bring back the bags of stolen money for a small reward. This Mini World Change will end when the thief is caught, unlike other Mini World Changes which keep running a whole day.


 * For the bankers of Thais, Naji and Suzy, you need to find Jesse the Wicked, here.
 * For the banker of Ab'Dendriel, Finarfin, you need to find Elvira Hammerthrust.
 * For the banker of Carlin, Eva, you need to find Robby the Reckless.
 * For the banker of Venore, Rokyn, you need to find Mornenion.

If you bring back the stolen goods you will get the achievement.

 * For Naji


 * Delivering the Bag With Stolen Gold.

Bored
Towncryer: Hear me! Hear me! The witch Wyda seems to be bored. Pay her a visit but sharpen your sword. She might come up with a terrible surprise, are you brave enough to believe your eyes?

This change happens in the Green Claw Swamp.

When Wyda is bored she will react different to keywords. If after saying "quest" she tells you that she's bored, you can bring her Blood Herbs and you have the chance to get a Torn Teddy and the achievement. It's also possible to earn the achievement by killing one of the fake Giant Spiders wich spawns around Wyda's house.

Down the Drain
Towncryer: Hear me! Hear me! A river is flooding, south of the outlaw base. Explore a new isle, an unknown place. Don't be afraid, but ready your blade.

This change is to the south of Outlaw Camp.

A new island becomes accessible containing a spawn of 11 Water Elementals. Kill 50 of them to receive the achievement.

Fire from the Earth
Towncryer: Hear me! Hear me! The volcano on Goroma is spitting fire. Creatures are spawning, strong and dire. Lava is heading up the land. Adventurer, be careful or it will be your last stand!

Noodles is Gone
Towncryer: Hear me! Hear me! Noodles is gone, the King in despair! Find the little rascal, look everywhere. Bring him back to get rewarded for your care!

Noodles, who lives in the King's throneroom some times disappears. Go to King Tibianus in the Rain Castle and ask him about Noodles. He will then hand you a Dog Collar to bring his dog back (Note: You can help with Noodles once every 2 weeks).

Note that Noodles has a very large walking area that stretches over all of the Thaian peninsula. The quicker you go look for him after server save, the more likely you are to find him. Known places where he spawns at server save are:

 * East of Thais, here.

When you find Noodles, use the Dog Collar on him to earn 1,000 experience points and the achievement. Return to King Tibianus and ask him for a reward to receive 500 gp, a Fan Doll of Queen Eloise (rare) or a basket of puppies (very-rare?).

or for Fan Doll of Queen Eloise:

If you are lucky a Dog Lady might appear on Rain Castle after the next Server Save. It is rumored that the basket of puppies is only obtainable when the Dog Lady is visiting the castle. Further information about this NPC is unknown.

Nomads
Towncryer: Hear me! Hear me! Ankrahmun's desert is the nomads' land. Find their camp in the golden sand, and a treasure may be close at hand!

The glacier north of Svargrond will begin to melt uncovering grass and other plants.

There will be 15 Ice Flowers which when used have a small chance of giving Ice Flower Seeds.

After succesfully harvesting 10 of them you will get the achievement.

Statistics
Through some empirical research it became very likely not every Mini World Change has the same chance of occurring. Therefore statistics have been gathered and can be seen below, it is a working project since more statistics need to be added to get accurate data. To gather this data a character needs to listen to Towncryer for a few minutes once per 24 hours, this can be done on multiple worlds. A total varying between zero and six MWC at the same time have been encountered.
