Hi there...so here are my facts :B

1. Did you know... GREAT AXE used to be a rare drop from Wyrms?
2. Did you know... there's actually wind in Tibia. We can confirm that just by looking at every flag, plus the wind always blows in the same direction according to the flags.
3. Did you know... everytime you take your soft boots off, they lose 7 seconds? You can confirm that by taking your soft boots on and off at least 9 times (as fast as you can). It may take you around 10-20 seconds to do that, but the soft boots "say" it has passed a minute already (63 seconds).
4. Did you know... a hellfire fighter's max hit is almost TWICE as high as a demon's eventhough demons are supposed to be way much more stronger?
5. Did you know... since 2013 until about a month ago, in the Demon's description in tibia wikia used to say "It's also said that demons skip leg day". (¿A troll playin' around?)
6. Did you know... when a player is on fire, and you set a fire field/wall/bomb under the player, the burning state on that player will last for way too much more minutes? It also applies on Optional-PVP Servers (maybe a way to kill a low lvl afk player?)
7. Did you know... if you use fireworks while swimming, you die? If you died without blessings, there's NO WAY to get back your loot !!
8. Did you know... pools are not just protection zones, but also "healing" zones? When you start swimming, every "state" heals, such as fire, poison, energy, curse, drunkness, etc.
9. Did you know... you need at least 3 parcels to go up to a higher lvl, but only need 2 of those to go down?
10. Did you know... you can throw a bag no matter how heavy it is for as many sqms as you want (lets say 8sqms away) but you can only throw away a body 2 sqms? (heavy bodies plx!)

1- Did you know--> You have to wait at least 10 seconds to move a LOOTABLE body after it dies? It doesnt apply to unlootable ones (like the Snake) which you can move right away when killed.
2- Did you know--> Some years ago Demons used to loot leather armor as a very-rare drop?
3- Did you know--> NONE OF THE WORDS IN ORC LANGUAGE HAS THE LETTER "E"?
4- Did you know--> Some guys in Rookgard have halberds, brass armors and brass legs? (Not sure if dwarven shield too)
5- Did you know--> There's a sign in Rookgard which says "Only the Humble May Touch the Sword of Fury"? (Does it means something? Maybe you have to be lvl 1 to get it before you become rich and "unhumble"? xD)
6- Did you know--> You can actually reach the roof in Edron's Magic Towers? Just use Exani Hur Up in a specific spot in the floor where the NPC Spectulus is.
7- Did you know--> There's a NPC Black Bert and in Magera there's a player whos name is Black Beret (pretty similar) who used to dress the same as the NPC and hotkey'd the dialogues and also sold all Black Bert's items to the players (more expensive tho xD) just to make some profit and also confuse the players? He used to be where the NPC is right now but downstairs.
8- Did you know--> There's a very-rare Orcs spawn in Femor Hills (unnanounced) where you can loot some part of the Amazon Set?
9- Did you know--> When the Man in the Cave appears, you can actually "hear" (see) the monks voice yelling "Repent Heretic" from the floor below where the boss spawns?
10- Did you know--> Kharsek (the highest lvl in Tibia at the moment) has the same exp as 679 lvls 100, or 82 lvls 200, or 24 lvls 300, or 10 lvls 400, or 5 lvls 500, or 3 lvls 600, or 2 lvls 700...? (How incredible would it be to own 24 lvls 300.... O _O amazing, isnt it?)

I want to change my fact #7 from my last post (2 posts above) to:
7. Did you know...when fireworks were first implemented, if you tried to use them while swimming, your character used to die? If you died without blessings, there was NO WAY to get back your stuff. This fact has already been fixed.

A few nostalgic facts.

#1 - Whispers from players used to be displayed from the direction the whisperer was located

#2 - Before the implementation of the skull system, the path from thais temple to the depot was frequently a gauntlet for newly arrived players to challenge due to player killers welcoming them to the mainland.

#3 - In days past, female players whom died turned into males as a corpse.

#4 - Spears did not use to break, instead they were left on the ground where they hit their target.

#5 - It used to be possible to rope up players from the passage under the Big old one, from the hidden passage behind the dwarven emperor.

And a few contemporary facts and curiousities.

#6 - It is possible to prevent a healer from healing the tank, and thus almost certainly killing him, without getting an unjustified kill. You merely 'attack' the player without doing any damage. You will not get 15 minutes white skull.

#7 - While we increase our speed by level, mounts, spells and equipment at a set bonus rate - the idea of 'speed boosts' at certain intervals refuse to die out. Are we all merely observing an illusion about these boosts or are there specific sweet spots?

#8 - There is a book which references unlocking doors by hydraulic pressure, something that has yet to be found.

#9 - The raids in Oramond Glooth factory are constant, yet they are known to drop Silver Raid Tokens.

#10 - And last but not least, considering the amount of times this gets asked every single day - it is possible to check all active world changes (Yes, including Yasir) at the board on Adventurer's Island.

#1- Interesting facts/curiosity

Among the most popular cities free account (Venore, Thais and Carlin), Venore is the one that does not have a king or a queen to rule its people. I wonder why? Venorius would make a good name for king, maybe... :D

#2- Interesting facts/curiosity

That the ugly Banshee was once a beautiful woman, everyone shouldnt know. But you knew that she committed suicide by having been abandoned in your marriage? For that reason she has the loot wedding ring.

#3- Interesting facts/curiosity

Our famous sorcerer Ferumbras has a daughter, and her death was the reason for he become more terrible still. Apparently he loved her. Is it possible a heart full of hate live the love too?
Keep trying...

Did you know..

There is a secret place hidden in the Tarpits tomb designed to look exactly like level one in the original Pacman arcade game. The dots are blueberries and enemies are ghosts. You can even teleport to the other side to escape the enemies like you can in the arcade game!

1) Many of the original areas of Tibia were not created by Cipsoft but by some of the original players which led to some interesting things being done without Cipsofts knowledge.

2) The original magic longsword entered into the game as a result of this. One of the map editors of the Plains of Havoc hid an incredibly powerful sword in a place he thought nobody would find, hidden inside a pick hole (something that entered into the game on that very update). The current Ornamented Shield Quest marks the location of the first resting place of the Magic Longsword.

3) Another area Cip knew nothing about was the hidden sheep level, put into the game by a map editor, apparently so he could afk train/make runes in peace. It was removed when Cip found out about it, more info can be found here. http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_Sheep_Level
