2x Animate Runes No Keepsake Item!

Some people have noticed that their former double charged animate dead runes changed into a stack of two runes, instead of turning into one of the new keepsake emblem runes. However, this is not a bug! As CM Mirade answered here, they are meant to transform into a stack.

Draken Boots

With the release of the summer update, we implemented many new items, among them the draken boots which were supposed to be sellable to NPC Esrik. Due to a mistake, though, these boots can currently be bought from NPC Esrik for 40,000 gold.

We will fix this bug with a client patch. Therefore, all game worlds will be offline today from 18:30 until 19:30 CEST approximately. Beforehand, we would like to inform you about the fix:
Draken boots will become "trashed draken boots". Trashed draken boots will not have any effects on your stats and will decay into nothing after 2 weeks. Until then, you can sell the trashed draken boots to Esrik for 40,000 gold.
New draken boots will be implemented to replace the old boots as loot item. The new draken boots will be sellable to Esrik.
Update: Please note that Esrik will only buy the item from you if you have reached a certain progress in the new quest line. Another NPC will buy the "trashed draken boots" within the next days. We will inform you about this as soon as possible.
We would like to apologise for the inconvenience. Thank you for bearing with us.

Into the North of Zao

As our sneak peeks already revealed, this year's summer update will take you further into the abyss of corruption and terror that yawns in Zao.

Finally, it is time to so get ready to enter the north of Zao and discover what threats and challenges are waiting for you behind the Great Gate. Are you afraid of the mighty adversary and his ravaging armies? You better be! But don't despair, you won't be alone. Zalamon, the wise old lizard priest will offer you guidance. Yet, he and the resistance still need your support as well.

Explore Zao's northern region, rice terraces and mountain paths which are fully tainted by the corruption. Approach the Emperor's realm, enter his mysterious gardens and venture into the depths of his terrifying palace. Help Zalamon and the resistance to fight against the dreadful dragonkin in order to end this terrible plague once and for all. Tibians, prepare yourself to face the unspeakable ancient evil that lurks in Zao, draining all its energy to finally plunge the world into ultimate darkness. Don't let this happen! You have to be strong and determined but you can make it. You have to - for the sake of Zao, for the sake of Tibia.



But in the midst of this epic struggle to avert the looming disaster, will you still find the time to help others who are in need? Hidden in the mountains in northern Zao, a forbidden village holds its very own secret and someone may be waiting there for you.

Furthermore, sage Cael in Farmine is looking for adventurers willing to collect corrupted samples for him in Zao. No matter if you are a newcomer or already quite experienced, Cael is grateful for any assistance. And a devoted father in Edron also needs help with the birthday gifts for his four sons.

You see, there are lots of challenges coming up this summer so you better start sharpening your swords, stringing your bows and polishing your runes. Further screenshots of the new area can be found on our supported and promoted fansites as well as on our official Tibia Facebook page.

Hunting Spot of the Week of Tibia

Despite all the test server madness, we at Tibianews still try (note: try) to let the daily news flow like usual. Therefore, with a new week comes a new Featured Hunting Spot! Today, we're taking you to the hot sands of Darama. High on top of the mountain range that divides Darashia and Ankrahmun, powerful elemental of energy roam, happily testing their immense power on anyone that passes by. This energy elemental hunting ground can be quite invasive in terms of supplies, and their hits can hurt a lot, but what is Tibia without a challenge? Of course, getting there is the first step, but an easy one through the picture below. The route is illustrated by the purple line. The red box in the first picture shows where the hunting spot is located in comparison with the ground floor.





This hunting spot isn't very large and contains four floors, each with several elementals.

The first floor can be reached by levitating up, indicated by the red arrow. You will find two energy elementals here.

The second floor contains no less than five elementals! Caution is required here, as more than three of those creatures can be enough to even take down a mid-leveled knight. Luckily, three of them are located to the top north of the floor. So, if necessary, the can be avoided in most cases.

At the third floor, you will only face two energy elementals, so this can be a good place to rest between the two major floors (2nd and 4th floor).

The last floor contains four elementals. This area is rather big and offers no place or edge whatsoever where only two creatures can hit you at a time.


Useful facts about and strategies for Energy Elementals:

Energy elementals are strong against physical attacks, so can be a pain to hunt by knights.
A major setback for knights is the fact that their hits can not be avoided. Their attacks include HMM, energy explosion and a strong melee. Plus, they make frequent use of their energy attacks.
Energy elementals drop lots of gold, and useful items such as mana potions and silver amulets.
Overall, their loot is worth the effort, including Wand of Cosmic Energy, Guardian Shield, Obsidian Lance and others.
For some curious reason, these elementals also drop throwing stars. We can only speculate for its cause.

Achievements and Further New Stuff

The message has already been spread all over our promoted and supported fansites: achievements are coming to Tibia! So this summer update teaser will just provide a rough overview of what achievements are about. Further, we are going to present the rest of the new items that will be available to you ingame.

Achievements bring an exciting new dimension to Tibia. Think about them as exclusive titles your characters earn on special occasions while playing. You can collect them, show them off on your character information pages and share your successes with friends. Since achievements are worth up to 10 points each you can even compete with other players on the highscore lists! A new achievement ranking will be added there.

More than 80 achievements are available from the start. Some of them are secret so you will have to find out by yourself how to get those. Achievements are account-based which means they are assigned to all characters on the same account alike. So even if you unlock an achievement like the Bearhugger with your main character you can choose to display it on your secondary character's information page as well. The achievement points, however, are character-based of course.

Apart from achievements plenty of new items will be added to the game again. Check out the screenshot below: on the left and on the right you can see some new sprites for quest items which are already ingame. They will finally get a unique look. The bottom part of the image shows different food items including the 4 winning dishes of Jean Pierre's recipe contest from May. At the top, new equipment is presented with the brand-new jewelled backpack at centre.

If you take a close look at the character's outfit in the middle you will see that we have also adjusted the hat. It is now a bit more detailed and provided with an edge that is customisable by you in terms of colour.

Achievements and Further New Stuff

It's been spoiled in several places already, but now it's finally announced on the official Tibia website as well: the coming summer update will introduce Achievements to the game! By completing specific goals ingame, like handing out exploding cookies, braving the annihilator or hugging a bear, you'll be able to assign special titles to your character page. There are more than 80 achievements, and some of them are secret. Based on the difficulty of each achievement, you will also receive points. Through the Highscores list in the community section, you can compete with other players from your world to see who has the most achievement poins!

Besides that, a lot of new items will be added after the update. Delicious vegetables and fruit like broccoli, dragonfruit, pineapple and aubergine, and of course the new meals for Jean Pierre. There will also be new equipment and weapons added. And that's not all! Several old items will receive brand-new graphics, like Lethal Lissy's shirt and the phoenix egg.

And to conclude: after receiving lots of comments about that hat of the new Wayfarer's outfit, Jan decided to tweak it a bit. The hat is now a bit more detailed and provided with an edge that has a customisable color. You can click the picture below for a link to the original tibia.com article.

On the First Day of Testing

I met with a troubled father, named Tereban. He was obviously drunk and very reluctant to talk, but after some more drinks I managed to find out why he was so troubled. His four identical sons were going to reach adulthood soon, and each of them had chosen a different vocation. Tereman wanted to become a knight, Yelloran a paladin, Melvin a sorcerer and Vestus a druid. To celebrate them surving their adolescent years, Terebran decided to hold a smashing party and give special presents that fit their vocation. But they are so special, that certain items are required which you can't buy in any shop. And that's where he needed my help! I had to look all around Tibia for pieces of a knight's shield, a paladin's bow, a sorcerer's cape and a druid's rod.





My travels took me to Thais to battle a fierce fire-breating dragon, then further to the ice island Hrodmir, to the ape village Banuta and all the way to Zao even! Some of the items could be found a little closer to home. For example, in Edron, I had to battle a wyvern named Heoni to get his strong sinew. I managed to acquire most of the items without too much trouble. Just the spectral cloth caused some problems for me. I had to travel all the way to the Isle of Kings to search its catacombs for the cloth. After I got it, I decided to take a small detour. That way, I accidently landed inside the Queen of the Banshee quest, and got stuck between two ghosts. Luckily, thanks to the help of two brave adventurers, I did survive and returned to Tereban.





The formerly troubled father was so grateful that he gave me some of his spare money and a old smelly cape. Lucky me! I didn't get an invitation to the party though ...

About Private Statement Reports

ith the summer update, illegal private statements will be reportable by players who are part of a private conversation. In our forum, we have noticed that many players have expressed their concerns about negative consequences by this. Therefore we would like to address this issue again and point out some major advantages of the upgraded reporting system. Here are some reasons why this is a good step.

1. Better Customer Focus
The new reporting options make it a lot easier for all players to ask for help. In case of severe rule violations that affect their gameplay experience in a negative way, players are now able to make reports directly to CipSoft's inhouse customer support team.

2. Improved Customer Support
Whenever private channels were used to advertise illegal software, to spread hack links or to intimidate and harass others in the past, players could hardly do anything except using the ignore function. The new reporting system enables our players to contact us whenever they feel disturbed by a rule violating statement. With their reports the customer support team can now act and address the players' problems in a much more effective way.

3. Casual Conversations Remain Safe
In private, of course, people talk to each other in a totally different way than publicly. We don't mind casual conversations in private channels at all. Even using vulgar language among friends is fine for us as long as it is fine for your friends as well and you keep your conversations private. That means, even if private statements can be reported you will find that there is no need to change your private conversational style.

4. Ensured Privacy
When a player reports a private statement he or she just points out a possible rule violation to us. Chat logs will only be checked by a customer support member to find out whether or not the report was justified. In other words: We are not interested in what else you say there and how you say it and we will never infringe on private conversations without any reason.

Tainted by the Corruption

As we already revealed a few weeks ago, the northern region of Zao will hold tough challenges for you and on your way you will also learn more about Zao's history.

When the reign of the dragons over Zao begun, many old traditions fell out of grace and into oblivion, among them the philosopher monks who travelled the land to teach people and serve as negotiators and judges. If you are strong and brave enough to master Zao's new challenges, you may stumble upon the garbs of these dignified wayfarers and earn the right to wear their outfit with the honour that once accompanied the rank of those travelling monks. Be it the burning heat, stiff mountain air or the damp and dreary undergrounds, show all your venturing pride with these unique clothes that tell tales of exploration, danger and the grim visage of battle. Show others that you are a wayfarer, an adventurer – a hero.

In the northern region of Zao you will not only find the landscape to be even more tainted by the corruption but also its creatures. In order to give you the chance to prepare for theses vicious beasts, we want to introduce them to you today.

The brimstone bugs should not be underestimated and if giant spiders scare you, brimstone bugs will certainly give you the creeps as well. Resistant to poison, diseases and climate, their swarms are always looking for corrupted essence as well as for undead and demonic excrements to feed on. They are especially drawn to spiritually rotten things which seem to fuel several unusual magical powers of the bugs. They are cannibalistic by nature and will devour any fallen swarm member so you better not expect any mercy from them.

But the corruption in Zao comes in many different ways. So beware, adventurers! Sometimes the corruption rather affects the soul than the body and does not become apparent during a whole lifetime. Only in death these pitiful beings learn the horrid truth when their tainted souls twists their nature, refusing them the afterlife that awaited them. And so they are bound to the realm of mortals in an ethereal form, tormented by an eternal hunger and plagued by their twisted vision of the world around them. Everything that exists is a pain to them, even more if it is alive. Destruction and total oblivion seem to be the only salvation. They are in a constant state of hunger since their new ethereal body constantly burns away spiritual energy. To satiate this hunger they feed on the life force and soul energy of mortals. Sometimes, they even toy with their victims by shattering their dreams before they greedily feast on their prey.

And even the mighty draken are not immune to the massive corruption in northern Zao. Some of them have become disfigured in body and soul, a disgrace for their own kind. Being physically even more powerful than ordinary draken but easily influenced by magic they became slaves and servants of the draken spellweavers who completely turned them into loyal and obedient drones without any own ambition. With brutish force, they usually attack anything that does not belong to the place they are bound to. If their wild rage is triggered, they become berserking behemoths of destruction.

Nonetheless, draken are characterised by power and competence, known for their merciless training and their honour. All of them use the best of their abilities to serve the dragon emperor, willing to die for making the slightest mistake. Yet only the best of the best make it into the elite of the draken society. Each of them is a one-man-army, a living weapon at the disposal of the emperor, able to wield arcane power and weapons alike, with an impressive physique as well as outstanding combat skills and spell casting abilities. Occasionally, the emperor lends some of the elite warriors to one of the dragon kings. Sometimes in times of need, sometimes as a token of respect. In any way, the elite forces handle even the most trivial duties assigned to them with precision and unwavering diligence.

In other words: We are not interested in what else you say there and how you say it and we will never infringe on private conversations without any reason.

5. Neutral Evaluation of Reports
By opening statement reports to the whole community, no player becomes more powerful in terms of punishments. Even if a player reports an enemy player it will not automatically have negative consequences. A report is not a guarantee for a punishment. The decision whether a punishment is appropriate or not is solely made by the customer support team.

Based on a restrained rule enforcement only those should be punished who severely violate the rules. Rest assured that it is not our aim to make conversations in Tibia more restricted in general. So give it a chance and be sure to give us feedback again in a couple of weeks after the update.

Loot, Runes and Potions

The summer update is getting closer, so it's time to give you further information on some of the changes and new features waiting for you.

With the Christmas Update 2009, we introduced new loot items as common to semi-common loot in many monsters. We will continue to spice up the monster loot with the forthcoming update by adding further loot items which are stackable and lighter than some of the heavy stuff monsters used to carry. Again, some of the heavy loot items will be replaced by new cool loot items which also yield a similar price when you sell them to NPCs. Further information on the new loot items as well as a screenshot of them can be found on our supported and promoted fansites.

In addition to new loot items, we will slightly change the way monsters drop loot. They will not drop loot in bags anymore. Instead, you will be able to see all the loot items at once when you open a dead creature body.

As we already announced several weeks ago, runes and potions will become stackable so you will gain plenty of room in your backpacks and it will be easier to arrange your runes and potions. Also, runes with a higher than usual number of charges will be transformed into glowing keepsake items which make a nice addition to any house decoration for sure.



In addition to the runes and potion changes, key rings will transform into a new container, the jewelled backpack, which will have 22 slots and weigh only 17 oz. For all the details concerning runes, potions and key rings, please have a look at the original concept we presented some time ago and the adjustments we made based on your feedback. We also explained that runes and potions will be automatically stacked in your inventory. The automatic stacking will also work for other stackable items, e.g. food you buy from NPCs, money you get from NPCs or creature products obtained by skinning a creature.

Last but not least for today's teaser, the third upgrade of our rule reporting system will be implemented. From the summer update on, players will be able to report illegal statements in party channels, guild channels, private chat channels, the default channel as well as in private messages.

All Around the World

Soon all that counts is a goal, at least for those football addicts out there. From June 11 to July 11 South Africa is going to host the World Cup 2010. All around the world people will dress in their national colours, team up with each other and watch the matches live. This is going to be an awesome time full of cheers, fears and tears.

However, please keep in mind that not everybody might share your enthusiasm, and some might actually feel annoyed if they are greeted with football mania wherever they go. As with all real life issues, we recommend you reserve discussions relating to the World Cup to the designated channels such as the RL-chat ingame or the Real Life board in the forum.

Conversely, if you come across a couple of off-topic statements like "GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!" in the game chat, just relax and ignore them with a twinkle in your eye. That way the World Cup 2010 will become an amazing festival for all of us.

Have fun everybody!

Invite a Friend and Get a Premium Bonus!

Friendship plays a major role in Tibia and playing together with friends is really amazing. We want to make that experience even sweeter for you by rewarding you for something that you are already doing: recommending Tibia to friends and getting them to start playing.

Today, we have introduced a new feature for players with a registered Tibia account. On your account management page, you can now find the button "Invite Friend" which allows you to invite someone new to Tibia by entering his email address. An email will then be sent to that address inviting the person by providing a link which leads to the Tibia account creation page. If the invited person follows that link, creates a new Tibia account and buys premium time within 90 days after the email invitation has been sent, you will get a premium bonus for having successfully recommended Tibia.

If your invited friend buys 30 days of premium time you will receive 5 days of premium time as a little gift. If your friend buys 90 or more days, you will be rewarded with 10 days of premium time.

So do not hesitate and invite your friends to Tibia. You may send up to 20 invitations within 30 days, so enough to invite lots of friends. Soon you may head out on adventures together and share precious game moments.

Into the North of Zao

As our sneak peeks already revealed, this year's summer update will take you further into the abyss of corruption and terror that yawns in Zao.

Finally, it is time to so get ready to enter the north of Zao and discover what threats and challenges are waiting for you behind the Great Gate. Are you afraid of the mighty adversary and his ravaging armies? You better be! But don't despair, you won't be alone. Zalamon, the wise old lizard priest will offer you guidance. Yet, he and the resistance still need your support as well.

Explore Zao's northern region, rice terraces and mountain paths which are fully tainted by the corruption. Approach the Emperor's realm, enter his mysterious gardens and venture into the depths of his terrifying palace. Help Zalamon and the resistance to fight against the dreadful dragonkin in order to end this terrible plague once and for all. Tibians, prepare yourself to face the unspeakable ancient evil that lurks in Zao, draining all its energy to finally plunge the world into ultimate darkness. Don't let this happen! You have to be strong and determined but you can make it. You have to - for the sake of Zao, for the sake of Tibia.



But in the midst of this epic struggle to avert the looming disaster, will you still find the time to help others who are in need? Hidden in the mountains in northern Zao, a forbidden village holds its very own secret and someone may be waiting there for you.

Furthermore, sage Cael in Farmine is looking for adventurers willing to collect corrupted samples for him in Zao. No matter if you are a newcomer or already quite experienced, Cael is grateful for any assistance. And a devoted father in Edron also needs help with the birthday gifts for his four sons.

You see, there are lots of challenges coming up this summer so you better start sharpening your swords, stringing your bows and polishing your runes. Further screenshots of the new area can be found on our supported and promoted fansites as well as on our official Tibia Facebook page.

Happy with Tibia's Game World Types?

When the game worlds were realigned in autumn 2009, Optional, Open and Hardcore PvP worlds were born. These world types differ from each other according to their PvP gameplay possibilities. Currently, there are 3 different world types for the 77 game worlds that we have in Tibia right now. Open PvP worlds are by far the most common ones (58 worlds), followed by Optional PvP (17 worlds) and Hardcore PvP (2 worlds).

This specific distribution of world types across the various game worlds was needed in the past. But things have changed and today the distribution of world types might not meet the needs of the community any longer.

In a new developer note, we would like to know your opinion on Tibia's game world types. Do you think that 3 different game world types are enough? Do you wish for more worlds of a specific type? Or maybe just a Hardcore PvP world that is free to move to with a character world transfer? And what are your feelings about population numbers then? Do you prefer to play on worlds that are less populated than others?

We do not have any plans for changes yet since we want to hear your opinions first. Please use the template provided in the thread when you make a post. Thank you!

We are looking forward to your feedback!

Make Room!

Are you tired of arranging runes and potion backpacks for hours before heading out on a hunting session? We have an idea on how this could be solved so that you can spend your precious time with real hunting instead of packing your stuff.

With this year's summer update we would like to make potions and runes stackable so that you can place up to 100 of each in one single slot in your backpack. Thus, you would gain plenty of room in your backpacks that you can use for other stuff. The weight of runes and potions would be increased a bit so that the capacity occupied by a stack with 100 potions, for example, would not be any different to the capacity you now need to carry 100 potions in backpacks. Furthermore, runes would not be chargeable anymore since you would be able to neatly place them in a stack.

Do you want to find out more about the idea we have in mind? Then check out the new developer note on the discussion board and tell us what you think about our concept. Please carefully read the short summary of our idea before you start posting there.

Content Fixes

Some content fixes were implemented with yesterday's server save, for example:
A staircase was added at the Yalahar cathedral to offer an alternate exit to the nightmare garden.
The corpse of the dead fire overlord was changed into elemental ashes so it can also be used to summon the fire overlord during the Elemental Spheres quest.
An alternate ladder for access to Ab'Dendriel tree houses was added and a tree branch was removed to prevent blocking of this area.
A rope spot in Edron Dragon Lair was changed to mountain ramps to prevent roping of the dragon lord.
It is no longer possible to use costume bags from the costume event while a character is in invisible state.
A deadend in the Treasure Hunt quest was fixed so players can no longer get stuck by using a firebug on the "Old piece of paper" again.
Players who are not able to unwrap furniture parcels anymore just have to go in and out of the water or use a portal of citizenship in a temple to fix this problem.
Also, today's client patch removed the Ctrl+Enter shortcut to open the report dialogue box. Please note that you can still use the shortcut Ctrl+J to report an illegal character name. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all players who gave us feedback concerning this issue.

If you want to discuss the latest changes with other players, leave your comments in the thread Player Discussions: Content Fixes.

Enjoy!

Further Reporting Options

The second upgrade of our rule enforcement system is almost done. Since this year's spring patch, all players are already able to report offensive names directly to our customer support team. In the course of the following week, we will release an additional client patch which further extends the players' possibilities to report ingame offenses.

Botting Reports

If you suspect another player of using unofficial software to play, you will be able to report this player to us. All incoming reports will be processed and then analysed. The evaluated data will be used internally for our anti-cheating measures.

Rest assured that bot reports cannot be abused by players. Reported characters and their accounts will not be excluded from the game due to any unfounded accusations. Only if there is sufficient proof for illegal activities, appropriate measures will be taken.

Public Statement Reports

In addition to name reports, players will be able to report illegal statements from the public chat channels. This will allow an easier and more straightforward reporting of inappropriate chat behaviour to the customer support team. However, public statements shall only be reported if they are clearly illegal. Please understand that reports of minor offenses might be rejected.

Note that until further notice, statements in party channels, guild channels, private chat channels and the default channel as well as private messages remain unaffected and still cannot be reported.

In order to make a bot report, public statement report or a name report, open the context menu by right-clicking either on a character or a statement and choose "Report Offense". The current regulations to avoid the spamming of reports remain. Further details can be found in the FAQ as soon as the client patch is released.

Call for Heroes

A new continent, new challenges.Strange allies and a looming threat were only the beginning.What seemed like a victory was merely the foreplay of what is to come.Now the stage is set for a confrontation of epic proportions.

TibiaCast illegal or not?

It's a question that has been asked before: is using TibiaCast, the program that allows people to watch live broadcasts from other players, a rule violation or not? Could you get banished for using its software? Mirade's answer to a similar question might reassure a lot of uncertain players:
'... we consider it similar to Tibia cams. This means, players don't get punished for using it but we don't support it and advise players not use it since we cannot help them in case of any problems caused by the tool. So players use them on their own risk.'
So, you can continue broadcasting or watching broadcasts without having to fear to get a banishment. However, TibiaCast is NOT supported by Cipsoft, so posting links to its website on the public boards or channels is still against the rules!

First Ferumbras Victory on Unitera

Some days ago, the combined force of the Uniteran guilds Old Empire, Noah Il and Chair Kids accomplished something that hadn't been done on that world before: defeating the powerful wizard Ferumbras in his own citadel!

Even though the wizard's hat appeared to be stolen, it's still a remarkable achievement! A congratulations thread has been made here.

Zaneran Football Tournament

Rainbow Warrior from Zanera wants to organise a Football Tournament. But he still needs teams that wish to participate. Teams consist of 3 players, and joining the tournament costs 15k per team.
That may sound like a lot, but the winner will be walking home with 150k and a golden goblet for each team member. So, if you are in a for a nice match, then sign up now!

Happy Birthday ... To Us!

That's right, today is our anniversary! No less than 6 years ago, Tibianews appeared as one of the first Tibian fansites. And we've been around till this day. The last two to three years, we've had a rough ride and there are still some bumps in the road, but we're getting there. Only recently, our long promised website update finally arrived. Now we're working hard to put everything in place.

And we've learned our lesson! Instead of making a bunch of promises we might not be able to keep, we will just promise you one thing for now: daily updated shortnews. That's our birthday present to all our readers! We thank you all for the patience you've shown, sometimes even when we didn't deserve it. May there be many more years for Tibianews to come. Now let's have a part-eeey!

Inquisition Quest Disaster

Today, several players that joined an Inquisition quest service on Secura were struck by disaster. Of the 30 mules, 12 died! Even some members of the killing team didn't survive the slaughter. The organisers of the service say it was the fault of another guild who lured creatures. Regardless of what really happened, this should remind us that NO inquisition quest service is fully risk-proof. In the presence of archdemons, death always lies near!

Incubix The Story Contest

That's right, yet another new contest is coming your way! This time organised by TibiaMx and TibiaCubix, you are asked to continue a story about Orcs and Dwarves. But not just by writing it down. You are supposed to make special cubixes, do a puppetshow, record it and send the movie through e-mail. Interested? Then check the following page about Incubix the Story for further information.

Chill and Grill - Starting Soon

The question and answer session with the product managers Guido, Craban and Skyrr, fittingly named "Chill and Grill", is almost about to start.

Help Us Choose an Intern!

s you probably know, Tibia updates are usually packed full of new content such as new areas, monsters and items. So in the months before an update release, our graphic artist Jan is always busy with making new ingame graphics.

In order to ease his workload a bit, we decided to hire an intern who will mainly be responsible for creating new monster sprites for the summer update. From all the applications we received, we have now selected the three most promising candidates who convinced us with their extraordinary talent.

However, we think that the final decision should be made by you, our community. Therefore, Jan gave the three artists a special task in order to prove their skills to you: Draw a dragon!

And now it is up to you, Tibians! Below, you can see the three amazing masterpieces but which one do you like best? Which artist should help to create the new monsters for the summer update?






Tell us your choice in the feedback thread on the discussion board! The thread will stay open for 7 days and we will then count the votes and announce the winner. Please keep in mind, though, that double posts will not be counted so think carefully before making your choice.

Choose your favourite artist!

Chat With the Product Managers

Have you ever had a question you wanted answered not by a tutor, gamemaster, or community manager, but by the product managers who are directly responsible for determining the direction Tibia takes? A new article posted on the official homepage today spells out how this might soon be a reality.
The idea for said question and answer session is tentatively being referred to as "Chill and Grill". A thread will be created at a future date to collect some quality questions that will then be answered by members of the Product Management team.

For further details please check out the article and! Don't forget to post any feedback on the dedicated thread on the discussion forum.

Server-traveling Merceneries for Hire?

A curious request has been seen on a few server forums. Busco nuevos horizontess (apparently a posting character) and his team wish to move to a new server. Presenting themselves as skilful mercenaries and claiming to have fought in four wars, they ask the leaders of each world to be accepted in their guild.

Will this be the newest hype ... bands of travelling mercenaries offering their services to the highest bidder to be part of leading guilds? It could certainly cause major shifts in power if guildleaders can attract forces from outside their own world!

Public Service: Hacklink Warning!

This warning has been made before - but here's a reminder:

This is aimed at any player who makes use of or is directed to any "external" guild forum (meaning not part of the official Tibia forums). The latest rage in hackland is taking control of such guild websites and using the message system to send private messages containing hacklinks to players registered there.

Caution is required when receiving links through PM's. Never follow any link without double-checking, or you may lose your account to a hacker! If you are in doubt, don't follow the link!

The Kingdom of ... Who?

'I, Altox, have taken over the city of Thais in a bid to save it and its citizens from its current crisis of murder and rioting ...' With these words, Altox from the world of Amera, announces the institution of his Kingdom, the Kingdom of Altox.

He has overthrown Tibianus and taken over power for the sake of peace & quiet. However, as with every regime, for things to go smoothly, there are rules to be followed. There will be monthly taxes, special royal colors and even a royal symbol thhat everyone needs to memorize. What's next? A national anthem? Maybe a thousand Tibian maidens for slaves to do his every bidding? Read all about it here!

Tibia Skills Guide 2

Club FightingThis is a weapon skill. It covers blunt weapons such as clubs, maces, staffs and hammers. Sword FightingAnother weapon skill. This skill is needed to use any kind of edged weapons, from puny knives to mighty giant swords. Axe FightingSimilar to other weapon skills, your character will need the corresponding skill to successfully wield any kinds of axe, from hatchets to the legendary Stonecutter Axe. Also, this skill covers pole weapons such as halberds and lances. Distance FightingThis weapon skill covers all distance weapons. This includes thrown weapons such as stones and spears as well as bows and crossbows. ShieldingShielding is the ability to successfully block enemy attacks with a shield.

Of course, characters need to hold shields in their hands in order to use this skill. Note that it is not possible to block more than 2 opponents at a time. FishingFishing differs from other skills in that you must actively use it every single time you try to catch a fish. To use this skill characters need a fishing rod and some worms in their inventory. Worms can be found in some monsters or can be bought at shops that also sell fishing rods. Equipped with the fishing gear, you will have to find a place close to a river or some other body of water that contains fish.

Once you have found a suitable place all you need to do is to use the fishing rod on the water. Do not worry if you do not catch a fish immediately - your chance to catch one will increase with your fishing skill. However, please note that not all bodies of water contain fish, so if you have tried many times without success, it is probably a good idea to try your luck somewhere else. A worm will vanish from your inventory every time you actually catch a fish, so make sure you have always enough baits left.
Magic LevelThe magic level is similar to regular weapon skills in that it directly influences the power of a character's spells. Thus, a druid with a high magic level will restore more hit points when casting a healing spell than a druid of comparable experience who has a lower magic level. This way it is even possible for a low-level spellcaster to cast spells that are more powerful than those of some high-level characters. Please see the manual section on magic for details.

Distance Fighting on Rookgaard 1

Rookgaard - The "hated" island which many Tibians everyday have to struggle through and endure the uncountable annoying traits the island has to provide. With this said, my first and one of my most greatest hints shall be passed on to you right away.

Other than seeing Rookgaard as a horrible place, you must first create a whole new perspecitive of the island in your mind as soon as you teleport down in to Cipfried's temple. Think of the island as being a vacation away from home (mainland) and you are here to have as much fun as possible. The stronger your disregard for the island, the longer this process will seem. If you ever become stressed, or perhaps someone succeeds in making you angery...always remember that you will soon be out of here and living at home very soon.WeaponsMelee weapons: Katana (sword skill), Sword (sword skill), Mace (club skill), Hatchet (axe skill)Distance weapons: Bow and arrows (distance skill), Spears (distance skill). Distance Fighting on RookgaardMy best reccomendation is to avoid using distance fighting while on Rookgaard, unless you plan on staying on the island permantly.

A spear has a higher attack\higher amount of misses than any other weapon on Rookgaard, so it proves most effective on stronger monsters. Theres no point in constantly missing a spider when you can easily attack and kill it with a melee weapon much quicker. The three monsters specifically designed to kill with spears would be orc spearmen, rotworm, and minotuar. The orc spearmen though would have to be the one of the two found on premium side since there is not enough room for them to run. On free side there is far too much open space for the spearmen to run in, so melee attack would be best against it.

Tibia Summoning Guide

Tibia summoning guide will teach you how to hunt efficiently with summons, I will cover the basics and a few advanced tricks for you and your summoned friends to try out. Of course you'll have to experience a little yourself to see what you prefer to use to hunt optimal. Summons get experience points too, although you will kill things faster, you will have to kill twice as many things to get the same amount of experience points. Most people in PvP worlds use summoned monks/ghouls to train on. Monks are used a lot for combat on PvP and non-PvP worlds.As soon as you can you should summon a distance fighting monster (e.g. an elf scout). A distance fighting summon can be the difference between victory and defeated. For example when hunting minotaur guards, summon a minotaur archer to help you defeat him since a mage (druid or sorcerer) has poor combat skills.

Minotaur guards are vulnerable against distance so the archer kills him.For non-PvP worlds, summon a monster that can use large area attacks like GFB (Fire devil is the first) because these can hit large groups of enemies hard, you can do this on PvP but you may get hurt or kill yourself or others accidentally. A Strong melee summon is useful (lets take Orc berserker for example) because they give the mage a much needed close quarters damage. The ability to use different summons in Harmonia is a valuable skill. A mage has low attack, defence and even distance skills.MixingDepending on where you are hunting, the type of summon is important, for example, if you play on a non-PvP server and if you're hunting in a tomb, a Fire devil or Fire elemental will be good because you'll probably encounter enemies in groups. A monk and Orc Berserker is a nice, low level combo because the monk can heal and has a high defence for blocking, and an Orc Berserker has a high attack and is immune to the poison attacks of most of the tomb dwellers.

If you are outside in a large area you need a fast summon for close attacks, an Orc Berserker and a Monk once again is a good team to help you. But distance attacks, such as minotaur archers and maybe even a Fire Devil is also very useful. For areas where it's hard to move around, like port hope, Distance is vital because the summon may not get to the enemy, so once again, minotaur archers or fire devils are the monsters that suit you. If you are inside a cave then high attack is everything as you want to clear them all out as soon as possible; an Orc Berserker, Orc Leader or eventually a Demon Skeleton is suiting.BlockingUsing a summon to block is a good idea if you're hunting something more challenging then Rotworms. It can save you both time and money. All you need is some Intense Healing runes to heal your summon(s). You can also use ultimate healing runes, but for the most mages intense healing runes will be enough to get your summon back to his maximum health. If the monster you wish to block is melee reliant, then a monk is good because they heal. But then again if you want something with a lot of hitpoints, or at least a high defence take a demon skeleton instead.

An Orc Leader has a decent amount of hitpoints and defence so they are a good average, if you don't know what to choose between a Monk and a Demon Skeleton.If the monster uses breath or magic attacks, then you need something immune to that element, for example when you're dragons you can preferably summon a Demon Skeleton, they have a high defence and are immune to fire, so the dragon will have a hard time hitting it because its strongest attacks are worthless against the Demon Skeletons defence. This may also work for Hydras because they are also immune to poison but hydras hit harder so you will sue more IH's.Test it yourselfThere is only so much you can't find out from a guide. To find out what summons you need to feel comfortable, go test it out yourself. Happy hunting and good luck.

Tibia Strategy Guide

By using a Tibia strategy guide, players can cut down on the amount of time it takes to become a powerful and useful player, as tibia strategy can cut right through a lot of the extraneous information and get right to the heart of the game.

Put simply, most games such as Tibia are based on gaining XP from either killing monsters or completing quests. Unfortunately, many quests can be somewhat derivative and unnecessary, or provide very minimal rewards and XP.

It is a simple matter to put a bunch of information between two covers and release it as a book referred to as a Tibia strategy guide. This does not mean that the strategy guide has anything in it that can help you or is even remotely useful to the serious Tibia player.Fortunately, at MmorpGuides, there is no end to the available material and Tibia strategy guides that can help the player succeed and move beyond what is expected of new players in their favorite MMORPG.

Tibia Goshnar Guide

What do you know about Goshnar?Goshnar1. The man FalnusMany centuries ago in the dark and gloomy place that is known as the Plains of Havoc, a young man joined the mystic order of the Nightmare Knights. This young man, named Falnus, would prove to be a promising novice. He had a strong will, was able to handle the sword quite well, but most impressive was his natural talent for magic.

Falnus eventually grew up as one of order's most powerful knights, both with magic and the sword.After years of slaying demonic creatures and protecting the secrets of Dreamwalking, Falnus retired and began a study about the concept of evil. He believed that by understanding the enemy, one would be able to defeat them more efficiently. He wrote many papers and books about the Ruthless Seven, and eventually turned to the necromancy field.

More importantly, Falnus was fascinated about a certain essence known as the Necromancers' Nectar. The substance was known to give access to the Pits of Inferno, but Falnus suspected it to contain some hidden power, maybe even hold the secret behind necromancy. He began to concentrate his studies on necromancy, in the meanwhile locking himself away from the rest of the world and his friends. Somewhere in the course of his studies, something broke inside him and changed him forever.A book about the Necromancer's NectarOne day, he appeared in front of the Dream Master and announced his name change. From that day on, he was to be named Goshnar.

Not very long after, he left the order and joined the vile Brotherhood of the Bones. Thanks to his powerful magic and unsurpassed knowledge of both good and evil, he quickly ascended in the ranks of the brotherhood. Soon, he became their leader and declared himself as the Necromant King. He took residence in the Necromant House, where he continued his studies, often locking himself away in the void room for silence.The kitchen and library of the Necromant HouseGoshnar often retreated here on his own to study.2. Goshnar the Necromant KingWhen Goshnar, formerly known as the Nightmare Knight Falnus, took the robe of Necromant King, his transformation was complete.

The ever so spiritual knight had become the face of evil. In secret, he began to device plans that would bring down the Order of the Nightmare Knights. For his plans to work, he allied with the Ruthless Seven, who desperately wanted to conquer the Pits of Inferno, the headquarters of the Order.Goshnar knew the key of victory lied in the access to the Dreampath. While the army of the Brotherhood, allied with demonic creatures, launched a full-scale attack on strategic points of the Order, the demons took control of vital keypoints in the Dream Realm. The demons were successful because the Order was occupied with fending off the Brotherhood. The strategy allowed them to be able to cut off the Knights from each other and they were able to take them out one by one. Slowly but steadily, the demons were taking control of the entire realm. Once they had full control, they were able to fully break through the Order's defenses. Then, by using the Necromancer's Nectar Goshnar had stolen, they gained access to the Pits of Inferno, completely wiping out the Nightmare Knights.The Plains of Havoc still bear the scars of the terrible battles.However in the end, The Necromant King was betrayed by the Ruthless Seven. Since the demons got what they wanted, they deserted Goshnar and withdrew their demonic army from the battlefield. After a terrible and bloody battle, almost the whole army of the Brotherhood was killed, including Goshnar. He was buried under his old base, the Necromant House, and his coffin sealed, so that he could never come back. His daughter Fermuba fled to Carlin, where she's still being hunted by agents of the Order.

The remaining Nightmare knights eventually succeeded in sealing the Pits of Inferno to contain the evil within.Goshnar's graveBoth sides suffered terrible losses, and stood on the brink of extermination. Luckily, the Dream Master managed to flee to a secret place in the Dream Realm, while one of Goshnar's best apprentices rebuild the Brotherhood. He now calls himself the Bone Master and is looking for new members. There are some persistant rumours that speak of plans to revive Goshnar, but the Bonemaster himself doesn't seem to be that interested in bringing him back to the world of the living. This is good news for Tibia and hope it can give you some help to make much more tibia money or tibia gold for your character!

Tibia Cheats Guides

Staying safe in tibia means allot more than avoiding evil player killers and creatures. The hacking of tibia accounts is becoming more frequent in today's modern tibia. Hacking is used as a very generic term but it basically means someone has gained access to a tibia account which isn't theirs.There are several ways for a 'hacker' to gain access to your account. The most common ways are by sending you a key logger, a fake 'tibia.com' where you will log in or by you using cheats such as tibia bots, and tibia MC's (multi clients) which could contain a program which sends your password.How could I get a key logger? Key loggers can be sent to you in several ways and unless you use an anti virus you will never know you have one on your computer. If you use Instant Messaging software such as MSN Messenger or Aim a 'Hacker' (who you thought was your friend) could send you any sort of file such as a picture, video or game. All of these could have a secret key logger attached to them which would lead to you sending your password.
What are fake tibia web sites?
A fake tibia web site is a web site that looks identical to tibia.com but is on a different domain/web site address. This tactic is cheap and used very often. It works by somebody sending you a link to a web site for example faketibiawebsite.com and telling you it is the real tibia.com However it is far from the real tibia web site as once you log in to the web site your account number and password will be sent directly to a hacker.
Tibia MC, cheats and botsCheating is becoming a big problem in tibia lately. As a result players are leveling faster, generating more money and becoming too powerful too quickly. Although this may sound unfair justice more often than not comes to some of the cheaters.Tibia MC is a multi client patch for tibia. This allows players to open more than one tibia client at once enabling them to log on to more than one character at once using the same computer. By using the MC players can create several UH druids and make large amounts of money thus having a huge unfair advantage over fair tibia players. Most multi clients have key loggers and password stealers attached to them so justice does prevail and most of these characters end up getting hacked. We defiantly DO NOT support or recommend the use of tibia MC as it is highly illegal and a huge cheating tool. Please play fair.
Tibia bots
The latest cheat to hit the tibia world is bots. Bots read scripts written by players, these scripts have a list of commands of which the bot must control your tibia character with. The most common use of this is a tibia cavebot. A player writes a list of monsters it wants to kill, the location the character must walk and the loot it should loot from the monsters body. The player can then turn the cave bot on and let it read the list of commands and control your character for you. Thanks for your reading and hope these cheats can help you to get much more about the Tibia game and lean how to protect yout tibia account well!

Tibia Cheats Guides

Staying safe in tibia means allot more than avoiding evil player killers and creatures. The hacking of tibia accounts is becoming more frequent in today's modern tibia. Hacking is used as a very generic term but it basically means someone has gained access to a tibia account which isn't theirs.There are several ways for a 'hacker' to gain access to your account. The most common ways are by sending you a key logger, a fake 'tibia.com' where you will log in or by you using cheats such as tibia bots, and tibia MC's (multi clients) which could contain a program which sends your password.How could I get a key logger?

Tibia News & Events & Guides

In this week's update teaser, we would like to inform you about a couple of further changes that this year's summer update will bring.There will be changes in raids. The Horned Fox and Demodras, for example, have decided to vary their behaviour a bit. They might surprise you in different areas now, so be careful.Also, from now on, you will be able to participate in two new events. Already in August, you can become an assistant of Jean Pierre, who is a true chef. If you are worthy, he will share some of his most secret recipes with you. He creates dishes you would have never dreamed of. Eating some of his delicious meals will have really astonishing side effects. They are so amazing that you can only prepare them once by yourself during the following year if you have successfully completed your apprenticeship. For example, one meal causes your muscles to grow and your melee fighting skills to enhance temporarily. Another meal will refill all your mana at once. You do not have to worry about forgetting the recipes you learn from Jean Pierre, since he will give you a cookbook as well.When Jean Pierre comes back next year, you can visit him again and brush up on your cooking abilities. You will then be able to cook his wonderful dishes once again.While you can participate in the cooking event all by yourself, you will have to team up with others for the next event. In November, when winter is around the corner, deadly shadows threaten the lands of Tibia. Demonic and evil creatures are lurking in the dark corners, ready to attack. Light is the only protection Tibia Gold inhabitants have against these creatures. You and your friends can help preventing attacks from these dark and evil beings if you manage to keep ten lights burning for five days.If only one light goes out, you have failed and all evil will break lose in Tibia Gold for half a day. If you succeed, something great will come your way instead... It is really worth trying to keep the citizens of Tibia Gold safe.Some of you might remember the backpack event in 2009. Participants of the backpack poll have determined that there should be a crown backpack, a demon backpack and a moon backpack in Buy Tibia Gold . Angus and Mortimer will be happy to sell the crown backpack to you if you have done the Explorer Society quest already. To receive the demon backpack and the moon backpack, you need to show great patience. Also, a good portion of luck is necessary, before you can call the moon backpack your own.

Anti-Cheating measures reloaded

A couple of days ago, the product managers of Tibia and the managing directors of CipSoft called us community managers to a meeting to announce the latest management decisions concerning our fight against cheating - a topic which has become pretty controversial within the community shortly after the publication of our featured article " Where Will Cheaters Go From Here? " in January 2009. A lot of time has passed since then, but this time has not been wasted. Until the present day, a huge amount of data about cheaters in Tibia has been collected, analysed, evaluated and reevaluated. Only recently, this whole process has reached a point when sufficient statistical information was accumulated which allowed to draw comprehensive and truly reliable conclusions about the cheating situation, and to plan our next strategic steps. The first steps are taking effect straightaway: Improved detection Thanks to the detailed analyses of the past months, the efficiency and power of our automatic detection tool was significantly improved. This enhancement instantly resulted in a remarkable boost of detections: Today, 16,598 Tibia accounts have been excluded from the game for using unofficial software to play during the last couple of weeks. Permanent final warnings From now on, there will be permanent punishments for all players who gained permanent advantages through the act of cheating which includes the use of unofficial software to play, account sharing and account trading. As many of you have requested in the past, every single account which is identified for having cheated will now get a permanent final warning that does not vanish any more after 6 months. Also, all accounts which currently have a final warning due to the use of unofficial software to play, account sharing or account trading will not lose this warning either. In case of any further rule violation that would lead to a banishment, accounts with a permanent final warning will be automatically deleted without any prior warning. These two adjustments of our anti-cheating policy sound the bell for the next round of our fight against cheating. At this point, we would like to thank all of our fair players for your unbelievable amount of patience, your commitment to Tibia and your amazing support during the past months. We owe you a lot.

Tibia Fishing guide

To go out fishing, you'll need the next:* Fishing Rod* Worms* Patience
Fishing is a very easy thing to do. Just follow the next steps.1. Put worms and a fishing rod in your backpack.2. Right click on your rod and this menu will appear:
3. Click on "Use with" and then an arrow will be formed, click in the water and if you're lucky a fish will be catched else nothing will happen. If your fishing skill is higher then you have a bigge chance to catch a fish. A worm will disapear if a fish is caught. If you don't catch a fish, then there won't disapear a worm.Notes:* Don't keep fishing on the same spot. If you catched a fish on a square it will take some time before it 'respawns'.

At lower fishing levels you can see if there is fish on a square by looking if your fishing skill increases. If your skill increases there is a fish on that square, if it doesn't increase then there is no fish at that square.* You can also press ctrl and then click on the fishing rod, followed by the water instead of right clicking and selecting 'use with'.* You can hotkey the usage of a Fishing Rod so that you'll only have to press that hotkey and then click on the water.

Tibia Soulpoints Introduction

Soulpoints are an addition to Tibia to prevent cheating. Before there were soulpoints there were many druid farms (afk druids putted online with multi-client to make uh runes). Because this is illegal CIP had to find a solution for them, and I think the soulpoint system is doing a perfect job here. Of course it also afflicts fair players, since they have to hunt or sleep in a bed to restore soulpoints. It's no big problem for promoted players (players with a vocation promotion) since their soulpoints raise pretty fast while hunting (1 soulpoint every 15 seconds) and they can also sleep in beds to restore soulpoints. Free account players have a harder job upon gaining soulpoints, while hunting they only gain 1 soulpoint every 2 minutes. This is to prevent people to go hunt with their druid farm, but it's not very pleasant for fair players. A good advice is to see that your soulpoints don't go too low.

Free account players have 100 soulpoints and premium account players have 200 soulpoints. Making arrows, bolts or other distance weapons costs soulpoints, just like making runes. Instant spells don't require a certain amount of soulpoints. The amount of soulpoints needed to make a rune is different for every rune. As an example, an ultimate healing rune requires 3 soulpoints and a heavy magic missile rune 2 soulpoints.Now that you know all this, it's time to learn how you can earn soulpoints. To restore soulpoints you can sleep in a bed or hunt. Sleeping in a bed isn't hard and needs no explanation, but hunting does needs a word of explanation since it's not as easy as you might think it is.
It does matter what you hunt! You have to hunt monsters that give you the same or more experience points (exp) then your level. As example we can give that a level 35 cannot hunt trolls to restore soulpoints because they only give 20 exp, and they need to give 35 or more experience points. But this same person would be perfectly fine if he would hunt larvas, since they give 44 exp which is more then his level. As last I would like to tell that while premium account players are sleeping in a bed, they restore one soulpoint every 15 minutes; so long nights means many soulpoints.

Tibia Security guide

Disclaimer: Reading this guide will not prevent you from being hacked but it will strongly reduce your chance on getting hacked.

1) Never give your password or account number to other people. Even if they say that they need it, or that they are Gamemasters, Tutors or Counsellors; you shouldn't give it. Tibia or CIP-soft will never ask your account number of password.Don't believe it when they tell you that you get a free premium account or free items. CIP (the makers of tibia), will never give away free premium account.

2) Never enter your password on other websites than www.tibia.com. There are some websites that promise you free items or free premium account or even other things, but these are hack sites. They want your account number and password to take all your items. Be careful too whit websites looking exactly the same than the official website. Keep in mind that www.tibia.com is the only official website.

3) Don't make your password too easy, and don't store the password or account number in a file on your computer. Good hackers will be able to hack your computer and read everything that is on it. Make also sure that they don't hack your e-mail account because then they can hack your tibia account very easy. Use a firewall to protect yourself against hackers and viruses.

4) Never believe mails that CIP send you. Sometimes you get a mail from the official e-mail address from CIP-soft, but this is a hacking mail too. They say that you lose your account if you don't click on the link and fill in the page, but you will just lose your account if you click on it. If you think that you have done something wrong, check your computer for viruses whit a virus scanner.

5) Don't play tibia on a public computer like in a library, an internet bar, school... Maybe they can check the history and hack your account. There are hackers that can check everything you do on that computer very easy

.6) Don't believe letters in your depot that you have won something like a free premium account or a trial period for premium account. If it is, it will stand on the website www.tibia.com. CIP is to busy to send mails or letters to every person. Also don't believe it if you get free items. Latest sending a letter that you'll get banned is very popular. Do not mail or visit (to) anything. This is not true, and you won't get banned. CIP will never warn you of anything by in-game letters

.7) Don't trade or share your account. Sometimes people ask you to share an account, but never do it because they can log in whit your character and take all your stuff, and sharing is against the rules. Never buy an account from another player. They sell it, and after you bought it, they just enter a recovery key password and they have the account back. It's very easy to get hacked this way. And last but not least, account selling, buying, sharing or trading are forbidden and will result in a ban/deletion of all accounts taking part in it.

8) If you have Premium Account, you can personalise your account. It increases the safety of your account, and if you are hacked you can send a copy of your passport to get your account back. You also get a recovery key password. Write down this password, and if you are hacked you can enter it in the lost account interface to get your account back immediately. If you want to get rid of the key logger, try a virus scan, and if this doesn't find anything reinstall windows (format your pc).

9) Don't download any programs that help you whit playing tibia that aren't from the official site (www.tibia.com). They will tell that it are great programs, and most of them does work, e.g. there are programs that eats, fishes, casts spells and make runes automatically or there are programs that you will never need a torch again... Never download these programs. Some of these programs are: Tibia GG, Tibia Proxy, AFK program... Btw, those programs are pretty useless after the last update. Also be careful with the place where you download TibiaCam. For experienced hackers it's not very hard to put a key logger in it and republish it.

10) Installing a firewall will increase your security. Don't tell around what firewall you use, so the hackers can't put them down. Tell as less info about yourself and your pc as possible. The less they know, the better.

11) Do NOT listen to all kind of in-game messages offering you things like:* become level 80, visit xxx .com* want to come on hydrablade quest, visit xxx .com* join my guild and get free rooms, look on xxx .com* free premium account at xxx .com* Bubble against 6 demons, xxx .com
