Player of the Month #57: Sabarath
With 2025 well underway and April in full swing, it’s time to recognize a standout figure in the Tibia community. In this edition of Player of the Month, we celebrate Sabarath, a player whose dedication, consistency, and passion have made him a role model both in-game and beyond.
Sabarath has found a remarkable balance between personal progress and community contribution. As an active player and content creator, he has documented his journey through posts that inspire, inform, and motivate others. His feats are not only individual achievements but also valuable lessons that enrich the collective experience of the Tibian community.
One of his main focuses has been the Bestiary, a system that represents one of the game’s most complex challenges. So far, he has completed 573 out of approximately 764 available creatures—around 75% of the entire Bestiary. An impressive accomplishment that showcases not only commitment but also knowledge and strategy.
Sabarath’s progress across the different difficulty categories is equally noteworthy:
- Harmless (20/20): 100% completed. These creatures pose no threat but contribute to the total.
- Trivial (44/44): Also at 100%, consisting of aggressive but low-threat creatures.
- Easy (153/159): Nearly 96% completed, with only a few entries remaining.
- Medium (254/308): At 82%, showing admirable consistency in the face of tougher challenges.
- Hard (102/184): Over half of this demanding category is already conquered.
- Challenging: Yet to be started, marking his next major in-game goal.
He has also made significant progress in various creature classes, reaching high completion percentages in several:
- Aquatic: 29/40
- Demon: 29/42
- Human: 64/74
- Humanoid: 77/91
- Magical: 42/69
With over 14,000 Charm Points, Sabarath has far exceeded the amount required to unlock all charms, solidifying his status as a completionist and underscoring his commitment to every facet of the game.
Beyond the statistics, Sabarath also stood out in prestigious events, such as his victory in The Great Boss Hunt in October 2023, where he managed to loot a pair of double golden boots from the boss Zugurosh in Venebra. That same year, he shared the capture of Elvira Hammerthrust on social media, solidifying his reputation as an elite hunter and deepening his connection with the community
However, his impact goes far beyond achievements. Through advice, guides, and personal reflections, he has helped enhance the game experience for many players. His content serves as a bridge between newcomers and veterans, and his consistent presence on social media is a source of motivation and learning. Sabarath is a clear example that playing Tibia goes beyond leveling up or collecting achievements—it’s about sharing the journey, growing alongside others, and actively contributing to a community that, like him, continues to find reasons to log in every day.
From Tibia Goals, we invite you to get to know his story more closely. In this special edition, we’ve prepared a series of questions to explore his mindset, motivations, and the secrets behind his success. Because if there’s one thing Sabarath has made clear, it’s that true progress is built step by step… and it’s meant to be shared.
Sabarath, to start things off, how would you describe your journey in Tibia over the years?
Hi Artemihza, Tibia Goals! 😄 My journey in Tibia has always been full of discovery, roleplay, and a lot of fun. I started in 2003 as a kid, and one of my first adventures led me to a Fire Devil… I died, went back to retrieve my backpack, and died again. Classic! That was my first "retirement" 😂 At that time, even though I had little experience, I created a Flogão to share my adventures. I think that’s when my content creator side first emerged.
I came back in 2013 with the first Sabarath, a Royal Paladin with my first premium account, but the bot infestation discouraged me. It wasn’t until 2022 that I made a real return, this time as a Master Sorcerer, more involved than ever. And years later, I got the name “Sabarath” back!
What initially attracted you to the game? How did you start playing Tibia?
What drew me in the most was the chance to connect with other players. I didn’t have broadband back then, and being a kid, I couldn’t use dial-up very often. But at my dad’s job, there were computers, and I discovered Tibia because it was lightweight and ran on any machine. It was love at first sight! Knowing I was connected to people from other parts of the world felt amazing.
What were some of the hardest moments you experienced in-game, like those deaths by Fire Devils? How did you overcome them and keep going?
One of the early challenges was communication. I didn’t understand English, and when players typed “offer,” I thought they meant “after”... I assumed they wanted to do it later! 😅 Took me days to realize it was an offer.
A more recent challenge was Soulwar. I chose not to use macros or pay for services, and gathering a team willing to face the challenge was tough. We studied it, gave it a shot, but couldn’t progress and the team disbanded.
You mentioned being a “completionist.” What does that mean to you in Tibia, and how does it influence your role play?
I love ticking things off lists—bestiaries, boostiaries, quests, achievements… Seeing the overall progress percentage rise keeps me motivated. I’ve currently completed about 61% of the game’s content, and there’s still plenty left! My playstyle revolves around that. Many of my daily decisions are based on what I haven’t completed yet. I usually start the day by checking available hunting tasks. Sometimes I repeat something, but other times I use it as an opportunity to explore a new hunting spot. And if it lines up with a Bestiary entry—even better!
What motivated you to return to the game in 2022 after being away for a while? What made it the right time to come back?
It was a way to escape. I was stressed with work and building my house. Tibia became a way to unwind. And then, of course, I got hooked again 😅 Watching YouTube videos rekindled my curiosity about how the game had evolved.
You spoke about your passion for documenting discoveries in the game, especially the Monk update. What keeps you motivated in Tibia?
Being part of an amazing team that lets me experience new content firsthand, test it, and explore it—that’s my biggest motivation. I feel truly privileged. On top of that, having the chance to document and share these discoveries with the community is just fantastic.
Venebra seems to be important to you. Why did you choose that server, and how has your experience been there?
I picked Venebra randomly. I wanted an Optional PvP server, and the name caught my eye because it started with the same letter as mine. I feel at home there. I have a good relationship with the dominant guild, and being recognized from Instagram means I get a lot of support, which helps with hunts and tasks. The market is active, chat channels are always buzzing, and there are always people to team up with. I really enjoy being there.
You mentioned working on the Antelope mount. How important are goals like that to you?
It’s a long-time dream. I like hard-to-get achievements that don’t rely on money. The Antelope mount demands dedication—you rarely see someone with it and the full outfit. Soon enough, I’ll be one of those few!
Do you have a specific goal you’d like to achieve in Tibia soon? How do you plan to reach it?
This year, my main goals are to complete Soulwar and progress with the Golden Outfit addons—hopefully even finish it.
For Soulwar, I need to gather a motivated team again and learn the mechanics of the fourth, fifth, and final boss rooms. Who knows? Maybe this interview will help me find some teammates 😄. As for the Golden Outfit, I’m hoping the Monk update revives the market for certain items and brings a rental opportunity similar to the Soul Core era—though I know that wave is unlikely to return. Still, these goals motivate me, but they don’t stop me from enjoying the game in a relaxed and fun way, just like I always have.
Do you have any fun or memorable stories related to the Bestiary or boss tasks to share?
An unforgettable one was doing Pits of Inferno and The Inquisition quests. Sabarath was my first character to reach level 100, and naturally, I did those quests with him. Our party decided to do it all without service; we were all around level 170. It was one of the most thrilling moments I’ve had in the game. Every step was carefully planned, using lots of bombs for protection. That experience motivated me to never pay for services and to face every challenge myself.
As the administrator of TibiaWikiBR, what’s the biggest challenge in keeping a Tibia wiki updated?
There are many! I structured my work into three pillars: team, community, and partners. With the team, the hardest part is keeping motivation high. We’re 11 members and only get 1k TC monthly from CipSoft—250 for me and 750 to split among up to three people. Thanks to sponsors, we’ve improved a bit. Even symbolic rewards, combined with my dedication, have brought great results—collaborations and edits have increased a lot.
With the community, the challenge is regaining trust. With over 16,000 pages, keeping them all updated is a constant job. We now focus on new content and reviewing quests affected by updates.
With partners, the goal is to deliver value and attract new ones. TibiaWikiBR is the most visited fansite, averaging 170,000 users monthly and over a million yearly. This makes us a great showcase. Thanks to our partners, we can reward contributors and offer community prizes whenever possible.
How do you balance life outside Tibia with your dedication to the game? Any advice for players also struggling to find balance?
I’m not the best example 😅 I spend a lot of time at the computer and have to stop myself from playing all day. I try to balance it with hobbies and activities outside the game—those naturally help keep things in check.
From your perspective, how has Tibia evolved since you started playing in 2003? What changes had the biggest impact on you?
The biggest change was hotkeys. I used to do everything with the mouse! Having shortcuts changed my life. Another big change was no longer needing to pick up spears from the floor. More recently, Quick Loot has been revolutionary—one of the best quality-of-life improvements.
You mentioned bots discouraged you in the past. How do you think the community and developers have dealt with this issue over time?
Bots were one of the main reasons I left the game. Over time, the community began to see the negative impact of cave bots, especially on the economy. Developers introduced macro tools that reduced botting in caves but led to automation in other areas. Still, I think with recent ban waves and CipSoft’s quality-of-life improvements, there’s hope the number of bots will keep dropping. Though honestly, they’ll probably always exist to some degree.
You’ve said you’re not “top” in any specific category but that you have a well-rounded character. How do you define success in Tibia without being the best at something?
If you’re having fun playing Tibia, you’re already successful. The game reflects who we are—if you play with joy, positivity, and peace of mind, you’ve already won. In a world that demands performance, finding joy is the real success.
Finally, to get to know you beyond Tibia: how has the game influenced your personal life or worldview?
Tibia taught me, among other things, that I’m quite anxious… haha. Jokes aside, Tibia is like a mini version of the real world. It helped me understand cultural diversity and deal with different opinions. It taught me empathy, solidarity, and the value of seeking the common good, even in a competitive setting.
Sabarath has become an extension of who I am. That’s why I deeply respect my audience. On Instagram, I rarely show anything personal—people follow me for Sabarath, and he’s the one who has captivated the community. That’s who needs to stay in the spotlight.
____________________________________________
Once again, we want to thank everyone who joins us each month for this section. You—who read, comment, and share these stories—are the heart of this community that remains alive and vibrant thanks to the love for Tibia.
And of course, a very special thank you to Sabarath—not only for his time and openness but for letting us into his journey with such honesty. His path is an inspiration to many, and his dedication to the game and the community reflects the best of the Tibian spirit.
See you in the next edition, Hail Tibia Goals!

Player of the Month #56: A Tribute from the Heart: to the women who transform worlds, inside and outside of Tibia
This day is not just about celebrating achievements or wearing purple. It’s about remembering the path we’ve already walked and the one we still have ahead. It’s about recognizing the quiet strength that sustains homes, communities, and—why not?—spaces like TibiaGoals. Because yes, even in a virtual world like Tibia, we women build, nurture, lead, and care. We are capable of planting seeds of courage, empathy, and creativity, even in spaces others might not consider important.
The origin of this date is not glamorous. It was born from pain, sacrifice, and the need for justice. The textile workers of New York in 1908 weren’t asking for much—just fair conditions. Their courage started a movement that continues to be woven into our own stories. Feminism is not a trend. It is memory. It is voice. It is action. And it is also community.
Today, I want to share a small part of that community that has meant so much to me. I won’t speak of historical figures, but of real women. Those who may never be in books but who leave a mark. Who have marked my life. Women I know through their keyboards, through their voices on Discord, through their words in chats. Women with whom I share this digital corner, which we’ve turned into something far greater than a fansite: a sisterhood.
LadyMass: The root and the engine
It’s impossible to talk about TibiaGoals without mentioning LadyMass. From the beginning, her vision and dedication have held this space together with an admirable mix of strength and tenderness. Founder, administrator, guide—but also friend, teammate, and multifaceted woman. She works from home for Samsung, teaches English to children—not out of necessity, but out of vocation—and still finds time and energy to lead this community.I deeply admire her balance. Her ability to stay calm in the midst of chaos, to communicate without losing sweetness, to lead without imposing. Her love for animals, her curiosity for learning, her life philosophy based on constant exploration (“learn something about everything, and everything about something”) inspire me to keep growing, to keep searching and trying, even if my hobbies don’t always last more than a few weeks.
LadyMass has tried crochet, guitar, baking. Maybe none of those stuck around for years, but there’s one thing she’s never wavered on: her commitment to the community and to herself. The way she talks about her self-care routine—how she can spend hours trying out hair treatments or researching skincare ingredients—is not shallow. It’s pure self-love. It’s taking herself seriously. And in a world that constantly demands we put others first, that is a profoundly political act.
Divine’Angel: The light that shines through
There are people whose energy you feel the moment they enter. Divine is one of them. Her name isn’t just a nickname—it’s a statement. She’s direct, honest, transparent. What you see is what you get… and what you get is a lot. Teacher, singer, athlete, digital artist, leader in TibiaGoals. Her life is a symphony of well-orchestrated talents.What impresses me most about Divine is her ability to stay disciplined without losing her joy. She trains, works, organizes, and yet she’s always ready to share a laugh, an idea, a picture of her three cats. Her love for fitness isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about living in her body with dignity and presence. Her example reminds me that self-care doesn’t have to be in conflict with dedication. That we can be strong and gentle, committed and free, rational and deeply emotional.
When Divine speaks, you can tell she’s truly present. She doesn’t improvise. She reflects. And that’s something to be grateful for in a world that moves far too fast. She is a woman who has learned to hold herself up, and in doing so, also supports those of us lucky enough to walk alongside her.
Dyaniixz: The heart of a warrior
She doesn’t care because she has to. She cares because she believes in it. Because she understands that a warm gesture can be as healing as medicine. Her baby, her cats, her fascination with Korean culture, her constant presence on the fansite… all speak of a woman with many dimensions, who never hides, who is always present.
Dyanixz reminds me that tenderness and bravery are not opposites. That strength doesn’t mean becoming hard—it means staying firm while still being able to feel. She is a warrior in every sense of the word, and the way she lives—with courage, dedication, and joy—is a constant source of inspiration.
Eveh: Quiet strength
Her life is marked by distance, resilience, and the search for purpose. And yet, she has never stopped being true to herself. Her skill with crochet isn’t just a hobby. It’s a form of expression. Every piece she creates with her hands carries a story, a slice of the universe, a piece of her soul.
Eve has taught me that you can be firm without being harsh, that you can be reserved and still leave a lasting mark. Her ability to love quietly, to maintain healthy relationships, to stay loyal to her principles even in the small things within the game, speaks to a level of maturity I deeply respect.
Bijou Kidi: Creativity that blooms
Kidi is one of those women who turn adversity into fuel. Who never give up. Who, if they fall, rise again stronger. Who raise, who build, who shine. She has a unique vision of the world, a way of seeing beauty in the simple, of turning the ordinary into something special. She is a mother, a friend, an artist, a teammate.
Her personal story stays with you—not because it’s been easy, but because it’s been deeply lived. And that shows in how she shows up on the fansite, how she contributes, how she organizes, how she dreams. Kidi is one of those people who make the world more interesting, more kind, more colorful.
_____________________________________________
This edition is a tribute. A “thank you” to myself, too—even if just in the form of words—for being who I am and for everything I’ve worked for to achieve my most longed-for dreams and goals. Because I don’t need to look to the past to find admirable women. I have them right here, beside me. Each of you makes TibiaGoals a special place. With your humanity, your creativity, your strength, and your stories.Today, I celebrate all of you—not as characters, but as real people. Women who love, care, create, teach, heal, lead, laugh, and endure. Women who inspire me. Women I admire.
Even though it’s no longer March 8, the spirit of that day lives in us every day. Let’s keep walking together toward a world where every voice matters, where every story counts, where equality is not a distant ideal but a tangible reality. Let’s keep creating spaces where being a woman is not a constant battle, but full, vibrant freedom.
Thank you for existing,
Thank you for being,
Happy International Women’s Day, always.
