n a few days, the testing phase for this year's summer update is coming to an end. To send test servers off with a blast, the Isle of Merriment will open its gates for you again on Testa, Testera, and Testebra.

This small island offers an arena where we will challenge you, brave warriors of Tibia, by summoning sinister enemies and mobs of deadly beasts.
Moreover, a new adversary will make its appearance there. Some say he is as hard as iron and his younger brother is Gaz'haragoth. All we know is he is called Community Handler 2.0 CipSoft!

You can also explore the isle, say hello to a few creatures from the past, marvel at a display of rare items on top of the arena, and visit our dungeon to see imprisoned villains from your last nightmare.

When? Monday, July 6, 2020 Testa: 16:00 until 16:30 CEST  Testera: 16:40 until 17:10 CEST Testebra: 17:20 until 17:50 CEST

Where? A teleporter will appear south of Thais crossroads several minutes before the start. Just step in to access the Isle of Merriment.

See you there!

re you looking for an opportunity to level up and improve your skills? A double XP and double skill weekend is coming! So sharpen your blades and stock up your potions, a weekend full of excessive monster slaughtering is waiting for you!

Between the server saves of July 03 and July 06, all monsters will yield twice the usual amount of experience points, and your skill training, including magic level, will advance twice as fast. The skill progress when training offline will also be doubled.

reetings, Tibians,

at the end of March we introduced a number of stamina changes, which were originally meant to last for only one month. After extending the period twice, we have now decided to keep these changes until further notice.

To quickly recap, these are the changes which were made:

Premium accounts will receive a +50% XP boost during their first three hours of stamina instead of only the first two. The regeneration rate of green stamina (between 39 hours and 42 hours) has been lowered to 6 seconds per 1 second of stamina instead of previously 10 seconds per 1 second of stamina. After logging out, you will need to wait 18 hours and 10 minutes to regenerate the full three hours of green stamina. The increased green stamina regeneration also applies to the stamina regeneration in resting areas.

Good hunting,
Your Community Managers

he witches of the green claw swamp need your help once more as they are about to brew their special mixture once more. 

The world event Bewitched will start tomorrow, June 21, after server save. Supply the witches with the needed ingredients for their magical draught, and protect their cauldron from the bane-bringers. Who knows, you might even get the chance to fight their leader, the bane lord.

So gather enough ingredients, earn favour points, and keep the cauldron boiling until June 25, server save, in order to succeed. A special book which you can find in the green claw swamp will provide you with further information on the event and your task.

In case of success, your entire game world will be rewarded with an experience bonus of 50%. In addition, by contributing to the event you can earn favour points which you can trade for potions and a pet raven with Minzy.

Have fun and fill the cauldron!

ighty warriors of Tibia, come and show us your strength! The private test of the summer update has started and lots of new stuff is waiting to be tested!

As we already announced here, you can also try out the new contents on a South-American test server this time – Testebra.
In addition to certain groups such as tutors and fansite representatives, for example, we have invited a large number of Premium accounts with a character of level 400 or higher to the private test. Moreover, every character of level 400 or higher on invited test accounts has been cloned twice so that a version of this character is available on each of the three test worlds. Clones are recognisable by a string of random letters at the end of their name.

Please check the test website for further info. In order to log in, you need to use your registered email address and password of June 04, 10:00 CEST. You are welcome to share your experiences and thoughts with the Tibia devs on the test board to help us tweak the new content and features before their release. 

Will you prevail or perish in the perilous depths of Zarganash? Will you uphold or crush the chivalric ideals of the Order of the Lion? Will you uncover or bury the truth behind the werecurse that is now sinking its claws into Darama?

Will you be there, Tibians?

We are waiting for you,
Your Community Managers

ou are here. You are finally here, in the deepest recesses of Zarganash. Unthinkable evil dwells in this realm. It is unlike anything you have ever faced before and it will destroy you. I will humour you however and tell you, what you would need to do in order to vanquish the darkness.

Every time you beat the boss in one of the five hunting grounds, a penalty will be put upon each member of your party. You will keep the penalty when you enter another of the five areas and when defeating the next boss, another penalty will be added to your current one. When you have slain all five final monsters, you will have received five penalties and you will have to bear them when facing the ultimate boss. Which penalty you receive does not depend on the boss, as you will always receive them in the same order. So plan accordingly as to which bosses you want to kill first and which last. These penalties are:

• A certain chance that a creature teleports to you
• A certain chance that a new creature spawns near you if you hit another creature
• Received damage increased by a certain percentage
• A certain chance that a creature will fully heal itself instead of dying
• Loss of a certain percentage of your hit points and your mana every 5 seconds

Each penalty brings with it also one advantage, however: The promise of riches. Each time you defeat a hunting ground boss, your chances increase to loot a rare item from one of the creatures which roam the five hunting grounds or from one of the five bosses. Nevertheless, the drop chance will still be a lot lower in this case than when fighting the final boss.

Once you have defeated the ultimate boss, your penalties will be removed and you have to defeat the five bosses again, before facing the last foe once more.

Note however that should you fail in vanquishing the final boss, penalties four and five will be removed from you and you have to defeat two randomly chosen bosses again. If you fight in a party which perishes facing the final boss, each party member has to defeat the same two bosses once more.

Should you against all odds prevail, rich reward awaits you. If you slay the final boss for the first time, you will receive a very powerful item, guaranteed. Even if you die as a member of a party, you will be rewarded if your group manages to beat the final boss. Each time you subsequently defeat him without receiving a rare item, your drop chances increase. Once you have looted a rare item again, your drop chances return to their initial state.

These are the rare artifacts you may retrieve from the vault:

However, it would be best to abandon all hope, for you do not stand a chance against the immeasurable might of the dark forces that desperately wait for you to enter, so that they may rip you to pieces.

How did this all come to be you ask? I am the genesis of this wretchedness and malevolence, my being birthed this decay and ruin. I commanded the Brotherhood of Bones. I am the Necromant King.

I am Goshnar.

ibians, we want to share the result of our recent charity campaign with you. It was a huge success thanks to your immense support, generosity and dedication: 

In total, about 166,000€ have been gathered through the sale of more than 9,000 mounts!

The earnings were donated to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund in several batches throughout the last few weeks to help in the fight against COVID-19 around the world.

We really appreciate the contribution of each and every one of you. Thank you for being a part of this, and for making a difference!

Stay safe and healthy,
Your Community Managers

new outfit has been added to the Store today!

The Jouster is all geared up for a tournament, ready to partake in festive activities involving friendly competition to prove their chivalry.

However, being well-armoured, they are also a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, especially with a trusty steed at their service.

Once bought, your character can wear this outfit anytime. The outfit is purely cosmetic and does not bestow any benefits.

Lances ready!
Your Community Managers

ired of spending hours on trying to scrape a party together? Did somebody unexpectedly drop out and you need a short-term replacement to take that vacant spot in your team?

The team finder will help you in organising your game session quickly and efficiently. This Premium feature allows you to create a notice which details what exactly you need. It can be found in the Social dialog (formerly called "Friends dialog") under the tab "Assemble Team". You can specify the following things:

• Level Range: Which level an applicant should have (players can still apply for a party which is outside their level range).
• Vocations: Which vocation you are looking for.
• Team Size: The maximum size of the party.
• Free Slots: How many free slots are available.
• Start Time: When you plan to start the activity.
• Activity Type: Allows to filter for bosses, hunts and quest lines.

You can also accept current party members to your team immediately. Once you have chosen your desired parameters, press "Start Assembling Team". This also opens a team chat channel. Once an interested player wants to join your party, you can either accept, reject or invite them. By inviting them, they will be added to the team chat channel, where you can talk to them to see whether you would like to have them in your party. Accepting them then adds them to your party while rejecting them will also remove them from the team chat channel. Characters on your ignore list will be automatically rejected.

Please note that you can only create one notice at a time, which you can edit after creation, however. You can always delete your own notice at once if you want to create a new one. Once you log out, it will be removed. It will also be deleted 30 minutes after the start time. The corresponding team chat channel will be closed as well in this case.

If you are looking for a party, you can equally use a number of parameters to look for a specific group by going to the "Join Team" tab. Select the group you want to play with and click "Join Team". You will be notified when you are invited to the party, accepted into it or rejected from it.

Visualisation of Loot Lists

Looting has just become a lot more convenient. In the "Manage Loot Containers" you will now see what items you have declared "Accepted Loot" and which ones are "Skipped Loot". You can also easily remove items from that list again and jump directly to the item's entry in the Cyclopedia.

See you in Tibia,
Your Community Managers

ot only will the upcoming summer update bring you a large amount of new content, but several new features as well.

Bestiary Extension and New Charms

The summer update will introduce a new monster difficulty called "challenging". A bestiary entry for a challenging monster will reveal more details once a player kills 200, 2000 and 5000 monsters respectively of its kind. Completing the entry grants 100 charm points for common monsters.

Not feeling particularly inclined to spend your hard-earned points on current charms? Then you might want to have a look at some new charms and boosted old charms:

• Divine Wrath: Triggers on a creature with a certain chance and deals 5% of its initial hit points as holy damage once.
• Vampiric Embrace: The current life leech amount of a player will be increased by 4%. This goes only into effect if life leech is already active through equipped items.
• Void's Call: The current mana leech amount of a player will be increased by 2%. This goes only into effect if mana leech is already active through equipped items.

• Gut: Gutting the creature now yields 20% more creature products instead of only 10%.
• Scavenge: Now enhances your chances to successfully skin/dust a skinnable/dustable creature by 25% instead of only 10%.
• Bless: Blesses you and reduces skill and experience loss by 10% instead of only 3% when killed by the chosen creature.

Highscore Extension

Do you feel especially competitive or would simply like to get the big picture in terms of player efforts? By adding new filter options to the highscore section, you will be able to compare players globally, across game worlds, with stats being updated hourly. Not only will the highscore section on the website receive an overhaul however, the lists will also be available ingame from now on.

A new category will also be available in which points are given according to how many bosses in the Zarganash areas of the upcoming summer update a player has killed: Killing one of the five normal bosses yields one point, slaying the final boss results in ten points given.

Charm points will now be relevant as well in a new category of the leaderboard, showing how many points a player has earned so far, no matter whether the charm points have been spent or not. Last but not least, you will now see your character highlighted in the ranking.

Client Settings Backup

Did you ever have to reinstall your Tibia client and spent hours arranging your action bars and configuring the hotkeys? Soon you will have the option to backup your client settings, that is, everything in the settings menu and the action bars, with the press of a button. They will be saved in a file on your computer which you can then import again.

We hope you enjoy the new features,
Your Community Managers

here are five grounds where evil has taken hold and put down its dark roots into the deepest reaches of the abyss.

These are the challenges one has to overcome in order to discover ultimate malevolence... To even contemplate taking them on is reckless, however, and to actually attempt to beat them is suicide.

	This demonic inferno, filled with perishing energy and many-limbed creatures, will trap any unsuspecting soul trying to reach the end by rushing straight through. You may survive the first instance and, unlikely as it might be, even escape the second one by the skin of their teeth, but abandon all hope should you think of prevailing a third time, only to confront the lord of this domain.
A festering wasteland, sanctified by infernal forces. Its treacherous paths branch out in all directions, leading careless souls to despair and damnation. Arboreal nightmares roam this land, moving extensions of the rotten surroundings. Only one who can navigate this bizarre landscape and find all the shrines can dare to venture on and meet the true horror in its lair.
	Ebb and flow rule this stead, a bitterly cold and pestilent realm. It is the home of maritime nightmares who do not have to care about the unstoppable tides. However, you better be wary of your surroundings, lest you be trapped at the bottom of the sea floor, condemned to a watery grave. You will need to slay seven hazardous phantoms before you can cross the blue divide to reach your last foe.
Three circles of abject terror make up this hellhole, increasing the dread evermore as you descend and draw closer to your annihilation. Blessed by unspeakable evil, the blood of the creatures inhabiting this place is harmful to the touch and should be avoided, while their energy is needed to eventually face certain doom.
	The most twisted of places. What a cruel joke it is to have to fight in your own home, warped beyond reason but not recognition, all the while staring into familiar faces, having to fight friends and companions to the death. A chilly wind howls through the ruined streets and what should be sacred ground has taken on cursed form. By the time you reach the final fiend you no longer care whether you live or die.

However prepared you might think you are, whatever skills you may possess, it is not enough. This is the end of the road. You cannot win.
