The winter update has just been released, so let's briefly look at the new features and content which are in store for you:
Hordes of ghastly pirats are raiding the Tibian shores, spreading fear and terror. It will take a special kind of hardy adventurer to challenge them and put an end to their maritime forays.
In the quest to halt the pirat hordes, unexpected allies will stand by your side, however. If you prove your worth by stepping up to the swashbuckling fiends, new ways will open for you, leading you to exotic places and hidden treasures. The vast sea will never be far during your journeys, so beware – age-old dangers lurk in the depths of the ocean...
Failing to collect your daily reward for a day or two (or three) no longer means that you necessarily lose your reward streak, as newly introduced daily reward jokers may save you in such a case. The damage input analyser provides you with another tool which you can use to evaluate your hunting efficiency by listing the damage you receive. It not only shows the overall damage, but splits it into damage types and damage sources as well. New highscores filter options allow you to find specific data even more efficiently.
A new quick looting extension lets you quick loot a stack of corpses with a single click instead of having to resort to "Browse Field", making the loot process a lot easier. The look of your summon can now be changed by choosing a different familiar, and it has also become possible to change the colour of certain mounts. Last but not least, there are new exercise weapons available which have greater charges than the already existing ones.
Have you ever lost your mouse cursor on the screen? Changing it into a bigger and brighter one might improve your gaming experience a lot.
How to do it?
Follow the steps below:
1. Google a page with free mouse cursors We like usingthis page You will find a lot of custom cursors here. It depends on you which one you'll get but we highly recommend you typing in tags such as "big", "neon", "animated" or "bright" in the search bar. Those cursors will make it impossible for you to miss on your screen.
2. Pick your cursor and download it.
3. Look for a folder called "cursors" on your pc. It will most likely be located on your disc C/windows/cursors
4. Paste the downloaded file into the folder and unzip it.
5. Go to your mouse settings and pick your cursor Simply type "mouse" in your windows search bar to get to your mouse settings. To change the cursor, double click on the "normal/standard" choice and pick the downloaded cursor from the list.
This is how we have changed your cursor for the entire windows. In order for you to have the same cursor in Tibia, there is one more step to do.
Important: Your cursor will have to remain like this for your entire computer and there is no possibility of changing it for Tibia only unless you change your mouse settings every time you enter the game!
6. Open your Tibia settings Go to "Interface" and tick "Use Native Mouse Cursor" TIP:If it's not working,ALSO tick "Show Animated Mouse Cursor"
Enjoy!

A new dawn has come, as the vocation adjustments are finally here!
After first announcing them back in October, Cipsoft invited a large number of players to partake in testing these new and changed features they had come up with. During the test, they made a number of improvements based on your feedback and suggestions – thanks again to everyone who contributed constructively to the discussion and made helpful suggestions. Afterwards, Cipsoft reviewed the vocation adjustments again internally, in the state they had been at the end of the test server. And now, it is time for the adjustments to be introduced to all game worlds.
Cipsoft has created a list of changes these adjustments entail, separated by vocation where applicable. For the most part, they are the same as they have been at the end of the test. They have, however, decided not to implement the reduced spread of single target, non-critical physical attacks, which would have affected knights and paladins. After going through your feedback again, it became clear that the potential upside of raising the minimum damage would not outweigh the perceived downside of lowering the maximum damage, even though it would have resulted in no difference in the mean damage output.
Cipsoft appreciates constructive input and feedback regarding the adjustments. They have created four threads, one for each vocation, so please post your feedback in the thread it is most relevant for: Knights, Paladins, Druids, Sorcerers. Cipsoft is also aware that adapting or even innovating your hunting style takes time. Naturally, they are going to follow developments ingame closely and will make changes when necessary.
Cipsoft has discussed the matter of compensation for the recent prolonged downtimes and decided to do the following:
The planned double XP and double skill event around Christmas will be extended to a full week, starting on Wednesday, December 23 and ending on Wednesday, December 30.
Starting on Monday, November 23, you will be able to collect double the daily reward from reward shrines for a whole week.
They would also like to express their regret again that these long wait times have occurred. As mentioned in the previous news, they are going to observe the situation watchfully to ensure operations are working smoothly.
After thorough test runs of a fix for the issues that led to today's unannounced long downtime, Cipsoft has now brought their servers back online so all game worlds are up and running again. Of course, they will continue to monitor the situation very closely to make sure that everything is in order and working properly.
Please understand that at this moment, they cannot provide any information about compensation yet. Cipsoft promises to talk about this matter internally within the next days and update you on it as soon as they have news to share.
Cipsoft would like to offer their sincere apologies again for this turmoil and for the long wait. Thank you for your patience and support, Tibians! It is appreciated a lot and they are grateful for the kind words and encouragement you provided.
Shortly after today's server save, Cipsoft had to take all game worlds and the website offline due to critical technical issues related to yesterday's extensive changes in the game's backend infrastructure.
Since then, Tibia's product managers, coders, testers and their tech team have been feverishly working on resolving the issues but the matter is very complex and tricky, requiring thorough analysis and caution.
Cipsoft deeply apologises for the long downtime and the trouble. They understand that this is frustrating and they are sorry for making all of you wait.
At the moment, Cipsoft cannot provide any estimation as to when game worlds will be back online today. They are doing their best to fix the problems as quickly as possible.
Today we would like to show you multiple tricks to create water in your houses, whether it's a swimming pool, a pond, a big lake, or just a small fountain.
The idea originated in 2018 on Peloria where Monzcarro Murcatto and Tarmon Gai Don decided to create decoration representing Tarmon in his druid nature. You may read more about it in the "story behind the decoration" section soon!
How to create water?
So, the first and the most important thing you have to know about creating an area with water is that you will need some tibia coins at the start. You will need:
azure carpets (obtainable for Tibia Coins in the store)
In order to create a pond with the bridge, you will need to create an area with water and two pieces of land on both sides. If you want to make the bridge look realistic, you need to make it look as if it leads from one place to another. Just like in these photos:
Of course, with a little bit of creativity you may turn the bridge into a pier so that it's connected with the land on one side only and ends in the middle of the water like this:
You may want to add some nature around and, perhaps, a fishing rod or a stool. Give your decoration a story!
2. Splash animation
The pier leads us to one more trick with water, which doesn't have a visual effect at a first glance. However, you can surprise your friends once they enter your house and decide to use it. Just like this!
Doesn't it look perfect? In order to create such splash animation in your house you will need:
Now, put the pollens and amethysts alternately on your bathtub until it disappears. This is it! Super simple, right?
3. A fountain
If you don't want to take too much space in your house with the river, pond, or lake, you may just want to create a small area of water with a fountain. You will need:
The most important item in this stack is the badbara doll which provides us the flowing water effect which is made of its tears. We will want to cover her body so that we can not really see what it is and all we see is the animation. A lot of people decide to use the small ice statue (fish) and the winterblossom and I believe this stack is the best and makes the best effect, however, it's always good to experiment and either add different items or remove the existing ones. here's what it looks like animated:
This is it for the water tricks! Keep coming back to this article because we will be updating more water tricks soon!
Next week the test of this year's winter 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.
Vicious enemies, among them the notorious and evil Community Handler 2.0 CipSoft (no, we do not mean CMs here), and savage beasts will be summoned by us in the island's arena for your entertainment, and your death. So come prepared!
You can also explore the isle, say hello to a few nostalgic fellows, marvel at a display of rare items on top of the arena, and visit the dungeon to see imprisoned villains from your last nightmare.
When? Monday, Nov 16, 2020
Testa: 16:00 until 16:30 CET
Testera: 16:40 until 17:10 CET
Testebra: 17:20 until 17:50 CET
Where? A teleporter will appear south of Thais crossroads several minutes before the start. Just step in to access the Isle of Merriment.
"Due to extensive changes to our backend infrastructure, server save on Wednesday, November 18, will take an extraordinary amount of time. We are estimating that once the game worlds shut down on 10:00 CET, it will take about 6 to 8 hours before they go back online. Moreover, the website will not be available during this time. We would like to apologise in advance for the wait time."
Hi guys if you don't know Spanish and can't understand the video tutorial Mirius has put available for all of us, we are translating it for you!
In this post, our partner and friend Mirius shares with you the spoiler of one of the new quests for this winter update 2020 (Quest Pirates' Tail)
NOTE: We still recommend you to watch the spoiler while reading this guide, this way it will be easier to spot the key places of the quest.
Rewards:
New Backpack
New features for your summon depending on vocations
New Outfit of the Rascoohan outfit
New Mount
This quest starts with the NPC Eustacio located downstairs from the boat of Venore. You've got to approach him with Hi - Mission - Yes and he will ask you for help to defeat the pirates that are invading the map in Tibia, to know exactly where these invasions are taking place, you must tell him Hi- Locations- Yes, he will give us two tools that we will need for defeating the pirates, furthermore we'll need to gather 1,500 points in order to access the new island.
Tools given:
Greenish Flintstone
Magical Water Orb
Nonetheless, there won't always be raids available to participate in, therefore, it's a good idea to anticipate some missions while participating in the raids that are happening (everytime you'd like to know where the raids are taking place, you must come back to Eustacio (Hi- Locations- Yes).
So let's continue with the quest :D. We'd need to go to the Corym Black Market in Liberty Bay, it is located on the sewers. There we must find a letter written by Rita, after finding the letter we must find an NPC to the right-hand side called Larry with the appearance of a parrot. You must talk to him Hi - Rita - Yes and he will give us 1out of 4 parta of the poem that later we will be required put together.
We'd need to find the two brothers of Rita now. The firstone is the NPC Sniff, he is located on the way to the coryms of Venore, we need to find him and say Hi - mission - yes.
He will ask us to help him get back some things he's lost, and these items we'll find them to the south of Plains of Havoc. We will be required to have the courage and venture ourselves on a maze full of sharks. At the end of this maze, we will find the barrel that we need to use to get a bag and report back to NPC sniff. Nevertheless, we will need to step on specific sqm's in the maze for this task to be successful.
To Sniff: Hi - Mission - Yes
It is important to go with Eustacio from time to time to ask for the raids, while we are doing the missions in order to try to participate in them and get 1500 points to enter the new island.
Once we've delivered the bag we must find the next brother, the NPC called, Ra'Cletto he will ask us to bring him an item from Eustacio's house so we must find out where his home is. Head back to Eustacio and say Hi - Home - Yes and he'll tell you that the location of his house is on the South of Venore, we'll have to click on his drawers and find a napkin that we'll have to report to Ra'Cletto with Hi- Mission - yes, once reported he will send us to find the last NPC that has escaped it's prison cell in Thais, there we will find an inscription on the wall, when you find it you'll have to click on it to use it and this will give us the last part (4/4) of the poem.
At this point of the quest, if you've been able to participate on the raids of the server, you may have 1500 points already, if so, when you go to Eustacio and say Hi - Status, he'll tell you that you have reached enough points and will give you a quest log. He will send you to Issavi, north of depot you'll find a Shell on the floor and when you click on it, it will send you to the new island where is the home of the raccoons. You will have to find the npc Tik'hi Tok'ho and ask him for mission - yes and he will ask you to help the raccoons around on the island, and to do this you'll need to do 3 missions to gain the trust of the raccoons.
For the first mission you will have to be sneaky. You will need to find the portal inside the cave of the racccoons, on the way to the Tik'hi Tok'ho npc.
In this teleport you'll have to complete a maze but it will only be completed if you successfully avoid the pirates with at least 1 sqm of distance and avoid the towers that have their lights on and wait for them to turn down. Once you successfully complete this, you'll have to enter the teleports at the end of the maze and use the chest, this will kick you out of the room but it's OK, you'll have the points to win the raccoons over.
The second mission is to save the food supplies of the raccoons, you can do mission with up to 5 players. You must take the wand that is given by the chest at the entrance, and push the cheese to the gate in the middle of the room, this will provoke the mice to come out, you will have to use the wand on the mice for them to show their real form and then kill them. If the counter that is below your name drops to 0 you'll get kicked from the room without any reward.
The next mission is a memory game. Once you enter this next room the gates will close and you'll have to remember the patterns that will appear on the center of the room and find the group of shells that match them, once you've finished these missions and have reported them back to the npc Tik'hi Tok'ho, he will send you to the ship located on the south-east of the island and there you'll face and you'll be required to defeat the 6 bosses in a row. We recomend you to have a good refill of potions and runes.
THE BOSSES
Supplies: *Depth galea or helmet of the deep
*Energy Bombs
*Sds
*Gfb
1. TENTOCLE
You'll first need to kill the head and then kill the tentacles on the room that will appear on the screen. Focus on one but whenever you can perform spells of area, we recommend you do it. If the tentacles remain too long on the room, you'll fail.
Reward: Aesthetic features for summons, and a key
The key you loot will allow you to go forward on the quest and enter the teleport on your right.
Once you enter the teleport, you will face pirates that will deal drawing damage on you, thus you must wear the helmet of the deep and you musn't remove it until the end of the boss (warning: don't approach the cheese on the way).
WEAK SPOT
In this boss you'll be required to use the helmet of the deep. You and your team must stack near the Weak Spot in order to make the damage the mobs deal on you to also damage the door until it's death. We recommend you to use the energy bombs surrounding the team so the pirates won't directly attack you, at the same time as you kill them with Gfb on the range of the Weak Spot. Once you defeat the door, you'll be able to move fvorward to the next boss always avoiding the cheese on the way.
2. MISTER CATKILLER
Once again, use the energy bombs to avoid being hit by the Elite Pirates and kill the boss with it's summons with area spells and SD runes.
Once you kill this boss, head upstairs and there you'll find the next boss to kill.
3. 1ST MATE RATTICUS
This miniboss within some damage will disappear and in a new and stronger boss will take it's place.
4. RATMIRAL BLACKWHISKERS
Focus on killingthe boss with SDs and when he summons mobs, use area spells and gfbs. One thing you must know, if you take too long killing this boss he will then summon all the bosses you've killed before and you'll have to finish the quest killing all of them at once. Nevertheless this is not an impossible task.
Remember to be wearing the helmet of the deep, in this boss especially you'll need it.
Once you've finished killing these bosses, you can report back to Tik'hi Tok'ho and he'll reward you with your outfit! And will allow you to access the teleport located on the north-east of the island. In this teleport you will face the final mission and you'll need a team of 5 people. Choose them well because in this boss you'll need a lot of coordination among the players to succeed.
Different raids will happen once you enter the boss room and you must know the mechanics of each one. Note that this boss works with points, if you fail a dynamic you lose points to gain the points back, you'll need to succeed in the Wind mechanic.
RAIDS:
Guest of Wind
This is the first raid and the most important one. You will be required to pass the Guest of Winds on the grey platform at the middle of the boat. This will reward you with positive points that you'll need to complete this Boss.
Angry Elemental
Kill the elementals with energy runes and area spells.
Mean Terramite
Kill the termites with fire rune and spells. Note that if you fail to do this quick they will eat parts of the boat and rest you points from the final square.
Quaras
The danger of this raid is that the quaras will try to eat the Raccoon Suppliers if you don't kill them fast. Make sure to exeta them away from the crates while the team kills them, each crate lost will rest you 5 points from the total score.
You must know that while the raids are happening, sea serpents will beam the boat with damage that can go around 3.5-5k damage.
While the team is focused on succeeding in each raid, you will see sometimes rubbish approaching the back of the boat. Use the cannons to destroy them before they hit it.
And that is it! Once succeeded this boss, you'll be able to enter the treasure island and get the final reward - The mount features :) you can also continue farming these bosses if you wish to get the new equipments of this update.
If you have any question, Mirius will be answering them anytime on their social media, youtube and twitch channel :D
