Update:Tai Bwo Wannai Clean-Up
This update was added on 9 August 2005.
The villagers of Tai Bwo Wannai have returned since some brave adventurers resolved the Jungle Potion Quest, but they're not happy about the jungle encroaching back into the village or the run-down rotten fencing. If you happen to be passing through Tai Bwo Wannai, would you mind giving the local villagers a hand? You can train your woodcutting skill and who knows what you might find as you're hacking away with your machete? And the locals are always grateful, rewarding you for the favours you perform so you can really enjoy what the village has to offer.
Of course, you need to be prepared for any eventuality, as you never know what's lurking in the jungle thicket! Perhaps a deadly poisonous Bush Snake? Or a vicious jungle spider? Maybe a rare and useful plant? Or a mineral-rich rock?
Foolhardy, brave or even courageous adventurers of every shape and persuasion may find the route to new intermediate-level ranger armour here. Is it the route to certain riches or the road to certain death? Or perhaps just the route to a nice relaxing village break by the sea, away from all that dreadful fighting!
And village life may not be all that different from adventuring after all! What with the strange local delicacies, the physical incarnations of menace and the bounteous finds, it's a veritable home away from home!
