Tibia is an MMORPG from 1997.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th Tibia thread I've seen ever since I found out about 4chan in 2008.

Anyway, after 10 years I returned to the game and tried the server Havera because I wanted to avoid other brazilians, unfortunately 160 ping means a lot of deaths and time wasted at higher levels so I settled in Ombra and got my first level 100 a few weeks ago.

Being a lone wolf is comfy, I could be level 200 now if I had someone to hunt with, specially a blocker, but I'd rather do my own thing at my own pace, chill in hunts while listening to music, explore all these new places and do some quests instead of joining a dominating guild and have to be online constantly to meet goals and follow membership rules.

Keep in mind that Ombra is a brazilian server, so if you're in NA you'll have 100+ ping, and if you're european it's unplayable.

>>10573114
As you approach level 100, these random pks will start to show up more frequently.
Don't worry too much, in Open-PvP pks are an annoyance rather than actual threats and if they are higher level you'll lose so little experience that you'll recover everything in a matter of minutes. Just remember to always have the 5 standard blessings and the Twist of Fate.
Always have the blessings.

I usually hunt early in the morning so it avoids these guys and I also have them in my VIP list. Another thing is to hunt in places that require quests or are difficult to access like Muggy Plains in Zao for example.
Eventually you'll get to a level these randoms pks will not bother you anymore, either because they'll be much weaker or because they won't even be able to enter the dungeons you'll be hunting in.

Are you doing the Hunting Elite tasks for Grizzly Adams?

I didn't lose a single experience point from this guy. He was about double my level. I'm still a bit surprised he managed to one shot me. Maybe my perception of RPs and MSs is skewed, or things have significantly changed.

Sad about wasting my blessings though. In fact I'd probably prefer to lose exp over them since it's so easy to level at this level.

>Twist of Fate
Back in my day you only had the simple blessings paid for with coin + AOL. I'll have to look up how this new stuff works. Honestly a bit confusing.

it's true, i play there as well and this ot is legit, it's been up since april 2020 and there's a solid community of regular players just like the old days, it averages 500-700 people during peak hours, the only downside to it community wise is that there's a lot of pking and the two strongest teams are always at war, server wise the admin sees it more as a personal project rather than passive income like most server owners, so there's zero corruption, if you cheat you will eventually get banned, it might not be immediately maybe but they will get you, regardless of your level, many level 100+ have been banned for getting caught with aimbot etc, this past month alone they banned over 300 accounts, it's really good if you want to feel the 2004 cipsoft 7.4 tibia nostalgia, the server is based on the original 7.7 leaked cipsoft files so it's the closest you'll ever get to the real game mechanics and respawns

Paladin is the most powerful class nowadays, both in PvE and in PvP. He one-shot you simply because you're too low level yet.

>Sad about wasting my blessings though.
That's what the Twist of Fate is for. It's a blessing meant to protect your other blessings in case you die to pks.

Get the 5 standard blessings then talk to any Temple NPC about Twist of Fate. With it, if you die, a player had been attacking you and the sum of the total damage of his attack is at least 40% of your total, you'll lose ONLY the ToF.
Say you are hunting and a random pk shows up and starts hurling sudden deaths at you. You have 1000 total health and he hits 200 with each sudden death, after he throws the 2nd one, you are already protected from losing all your blessings for a few minutes. Even if he stops attacking, you fully heal your HP and die to creatures, you'll be protected.

See, if you took damage from PvP that amounts to at least 40% of your HP, it doesn't matter if you die to creatures, you don't lose the blessings because you could have died running from the attack.

>Not really. Do you have any tips for 50-100?
If you don't want to do all the tasks, the best for you level are Wailing Widows with Lancer Beetles in Zao, Wyverns in Poacher's Lair, Crystal Spiders with Ice Golems on Svargrond Mountains, Mutated Tigers in Yalahar Alchemist Quarter and the top tier hunt, Ancient Scarabs with Bonebeasts on Darashia's Mother of Scarabs Lair.

All of these give pretty good exp for your level, however, the money is the biggest reason to do them, on top of task points of course. I was pretty lucky and looted 35 wyvern talismans in only two and a half hours of hunt, sold for 18k each, totalling over 600k. Crystal Spiders and Ice Golems can make you some serious money too depending on how valuable ice cubes are in your server, but Crystal Spiders are more dangerous than Wyverns.

[Anonymous No.10575190]

>>10575108
>Get the 5 standard blessings...
So complicated. I had already done the Pilgrimage Quest, but unfortunately didn't know about ToF :c

I see there's also 7 blessings, not just 5. I assume 5 is what you want to avoid EQ loss, and 7 is when you really don't want to lose exp, or is there more to it?

>If you don't want to do all the tasks
I'm not actively avoiding them, I just didn't get as much exp as I wanted from the early ones. Didn't see the point besides that. I guess completing tasks is more valuable than I imagined

I also got one of those "prey" tasks for for example Frost Giants. Is that kind of thing worth caring about?

Anyway, thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.

[Anonymous No.10575242]

Mutated Tigers drop the sabretooth which is used to make the critical hit imbuement, so it is always in high demand and sells for pretty good money, it drops often too. There are few places to hunt Mutated Tigers and usually other people will show up, so it's better to go when the server has fewer people online.

Now, Ancient Scarabs, that is the dream hunt for your level. Doesn't give that much profit but the hunt will always pay for itself if you use great fireballs. The experience can be really good if you have decent skills and hunting technique to lure in a few scarabs with bonebeasts and cast great fireballs in tandem with your auto attacks.
Ancient Scarabs are dangerous though and they cast paralyze all the time, bonebeasts can hit pretty hard too so start slow, killing one by one, until you know how many creatures you can safely manage and then you can start luring and going around them while comboing auto attack then great fireball.

Other monsters like Wailing Widows don't give too much of either exp or profit but hunting different monsters instead of power grinding on the same dungeon for weeks goes a long way to help you not get bored, explore new places, improve your hunting technique and even if just slightly, it can help you avoid pks that look for targets in the most populated hunting areas. Doing quests is also good to break the grind once in a while, specially quests that give access to new areas.

>I see there's also 7 blessings, not just 5. I assume 5 is what you want to avoid EQ loss, and 7 is when you really don't want to lose exp, or is there more to it?
The 5 standard blessings completely protect you from dropping your hard earned stuff if you die and greatly reduce exp and skill loss as well, the Twist of Fate protects all the other blessings in case you are killed by a player. If you die to a player you lose only the ToF and keep every other blessing, if you die to monsters while hunting you'll lose all your blessings except the ToF.

The other 2 blessings are "special" blessings that were added much later. All they do is further reduce exp loss by 8% each in case of death. They are more expensive than the 5 standard blessings and generally, most people don't ever bother with them because with the 5 blessings you already have 100% protection from item and equipement loss and a further 16% protection in exp loss won't make that much of a difference unless you are really high level.

>I guess completing tasks is more valuable than I imagined
Isn't that they are valuable, you can ignore the Hunting Elite tasks completely but I think it's worth doing them, it gives you a goal. You get to know new creatures, new areas, make some money, trade with Grizzly Adams and upon reaching Trophy Hunter, he'll let you figh Demodras and Tiquanda's Revenge, they drop outfit itens that can be pretty valuable.

There's also the Turmoil of War task that you can get from a NPC near Kazordoon. You have to be below level 40 to get the task from him but you once you have it in your questlog, you can finish it whenever you want. He'll ask you to kill 5000 minotaurs of any type, minotaurs, archers, guards, mages, etc. After you finish you can fight The Horned Fox, he drops an iten that is used for the Assassin outfit or can be sold for a lot of money if you don't care about outfits. In Ombra the cheapest offer is 2000000 right now.

[Anonymous No.10575387]

>>10575190
>I also got one of those "prey" tasks for for example Frost Giants. Is that kind of thing worth caring about?
Definitely.

The prey system gives you a bonus against one creature that you select from a list, you can re-roll the list for new creatures every 20 hours for free, pay an amount of gold that scales with your level and re-roll whenever you want or use 5 "prey cards" to select any creature you want. The bonuses are increased defense, damage, experience and loot rates, the number of stars indicate how strong your current bonus is and you can also spend a prey card to switch your current bonus to a different random bonus on the same creature.
You get 3 prey cards for free as daily reward once per week or you can buy them with Tibia Coins.

You don't have to hunt the creatures that you get on the list, but always reset it for free in case you get a creature that you were going to hunt anyway.
When you are high level and rich enough that you can select creatures with cards and get the best bonuses, that is when the prey system really starts to shine.

[Anonymous No.10575426]

>>10575349
From what I know, only the Edron City Quests, Turmoil of War and Pilgrimage of Ashes have a level cap.

Technically, the Hunting Elite tasks from Grizzly Adams also have level requirements but you'll never be completely blocked from doing tasks and getting the points if you decide to do them one day, you'll just have to hunt stronger creatures after certain level thresholds until level 130 when you'll only be able to hunt the strongest creatures that he can ask for.

The Edron City Quests are for low levels that just hit level 8, stuff like hunting goblins, trolls and rotworms. It's alright to ignore them.

I'm in Antica

[Anonymous No.10576246]

>>10576005
Antica is the most popular server, right now there are 540 people online in Antica and 170 online in Ombra. So both servers are quite different and there are pros and cons for both.

Populated servers means a fast, dynamic market with lots of people buying and selling lots of stuff all the time. Another big advantage is that it's much easier to find parties for hunts or quests and make friends (and enemies).
On the other hand, there is more competition for experience as dungeons and hunting areas will have people showing up all the time and not everyone will be friendly or leave because you arrived first. If you want to hunt in prime areas that give really good profit and experience prepare to fight or be kicked out the moment someone arrives.

In Ombra the market can be a bit slow sometimes but it is still alright, you'll sell most things within a day or two and high demand stuff like the imbuement itens in a matter of hours. It can also take anything between a few hours to days in order to find someone to hunt or do quests since there's not many people and often they'll have their own group of friends already. Now, the pros are that you'll rarely have to compete for a hunt unless it's a prime hunt during peak server hours, also everything is more expensive which is a double-edged sword but generally I think it's better because you can rake in huge profits from itens that high level players want but can't be bothered to hunt themselves.

Tibia can be much more fun to play with a friend but like I said before, I like to chill and play at my own pace so being alone isn't that bad either. I chose Ombra because I think the benefit of hunting without worrying about others showing up and trying to kill me or kick me out all the time outweighs the difficulty in finding a party -of people that are cool to play with- and the slower market. If you like action, talking to people and more stuff happening, you are at home in Antica.

[Anonymous No.10576345]

>>10576246
I agree with most of these points, but the high population and what it brings is what makes Tibia what it is. Since it's not 2004 anymore, I might as well play on the most popular server, is my reasoning, and make some friends while doing so. I'd rather become the target of others every once in a while than play on a depopulated server. Plus, if you ever get a guild going, it's probably going to be a lot more fun in the long run than just playing a game that is a chat room with mobs.

That aside, I haven't really had issues with spawns being crowded. If I remember correctly, spawns are faster when the server has more people, and it appears to me that spawns are generally faster, and that might even be good thing.

I'm open to change eventually if there's momentum in the thread. It's not like I'm forced to be on Antica.

[Anonymous No.10576407]

>>10576345
>If I remember correctly, spawns are faster when the server has more people
I don't know about that but it's probably correct. I feel like spawn time in general is faster nowadays.

Another reason I chose Ombra is that since it is a green PvP server I can transfer my character to basically any server should I ever decide to do so, exception being hardcore pvp servers.
It's unlikely that I'll ever transfer since the dominating guild in Ombra seems pretty chill, so far everyone I've talked to in-game has told me they keep to themselves and aren't power abusers.

[Anonymous No.10576412]

Back in the day a major selling point was that it allowed you to generate mana while you were logged out. Some botters even had schedules where it calculated when you'd have enough mana to be able to make a run and automatically performed the macro. In the even earlier days you could set up a store and people could check it out and come by and trade, that's why many houses have store layouts.

[Anonymous No.10579907]

In current Tibia? IIRC they are protection zones like the Depots where you recover HP/MANA faster; you can also buy Hireling NPCs that sell you supplies like special meals, runes, potions and general equipment; and you can also set up training statues in them. So, objectively, its more a convenience thing and highly dependent on where your house is located. Personally I dont think they are worth it after CIP inflated rent prices.

I will never own a house that will not have bloodherbs and coconuts. I like old school stuff and didn't make enough friends to hunt more efficient or cooler spawns. No friends = not a female for sure.

>>10583008
Offline training is enough for most. I would have said offline training is enough for normal people, but these days it is more normal to spend money on wands/rods to train your magic level quickly with training dummies.

For traditional training/online training I think that's maybe a free account thing on slimes/vampires/monks/whatever. Then there are those hardcore top players who might online train distance or melee skills.

To simplify offline training is enough for knights and paladins. For a mage you might want to do something to raise your mlvl so you don't end up playing a year and end up with a magic level of 80 to show for it.

It's a waste of time for normal play. I'm the grandmaster of inefficient play and even I did not and will not ever online train. Not counting training magic level on dummies.

Hell even making runes in a depot with all the possible regen boosts possible it really is something you would do for sport.

Thing is though anon. In Tibia and any sandbox mmos you can do whatever the hell you want. You want to online train and watch streams? Go for it.

Yeah obviously, but it can still be outright dumb nowadays to do since I'm not up to date with the mechanics.

The thing is, I have a lot of idle time while I work irl, which I could spend making runes or training. What would you do?

[Anonymous No.10583131]

>>10583091
Make runes.
Sit on my favourite old school spawns.
Hunt boring and easy monsters for beastiary progress. Like somewhere where you know a safe spot you can reach quickly if work calls.
Hunt for imbuement materials.
Hunt for outfit materials.
Go fishing.
Go mapping.

Making runes is the easy best choice for me here at least. I like playing all vocations though so would use them too. I don't think I would be able to reach this level of interest to play anymore myself though. I'd rather just log in for active play only.

It's hard to discuss anything related to it, it's always either:

>discord trannies with their retarded 'what if the knowledge is the reward' motto
>old forum posts where people just larp and make shit up

The only value you can get is from old (and I mean very old) players who used to make content for the game and hackers (like the OG leaked map without edits and people who used Exani Hur and camera exploits). These are the only people who ever made progress in the mysteriando. Fuck that "whoa epic now I know this book is le referencinerio to ghost'n'goblins or some other nerd shit" I want actual ingame progress and new mechanics discovered. At least back in the Knightmare's time the references were interesting (I mean, fucking Crowley, mathmagic, higher algebra, Wolfram scripts in my Ultima clone?)

I was re-imagining my own version of Tibia the other day.

The game would have no NPC economy. If people wanted to have currency, they would have to craft coins themselves from raw material, use something else in its place, or barter. NPCs don't sell anything or accept any tender. They don't sell any items. All potions, runes, ammo, etc, would have to be crafted and traded by other players from mob drops. The raw materials in the game would be hardcoded to a certain limit and mob populations would be influenced by how much people hunt them. When an account disappears due to inactivity, the raw materials on the account get recycled back into the game as a random deposit on the map which players have to discover.

Additionally, the PK system would be much more intricate. There would be a degree of five skulls (1-5). Skulls don't go away after a few minutes but are only forgiven when the player who got killed gives his forgiveness (tradable item) or automatically 3 months after the incident. Every time you kill someone you incur a degree of skull, which makes you lose 5% additional XP, etc, upon death. Anyone can attack skulled players for free. Pz locks would however work like they work in Tibia.

There's also a reputation system that's shown next to your name at all times. People with higher rep have the ability to influence other peoples score more than those with lower.

It would be more efficient if it wasn't for the Squires. Maybe at a higher level I could clear the floor faster. There's a lot of people coming through but the spawn is so fast and my DPS is low enough for it not too matter much. Backspawns are a bigger problem than people.

I've been trying to find some low intensity spawns because I'm getting bored of mutants. But it's hard to give up since I get pretty decent exp there with literally zero waste.

>if it is what i think it is
It's just convince creature, does that rune even exist anymore? Also this brought up a memory when summoned creatures didn't actually take experience from the summoner so mages could hunt cyclopolis and stuff with monks.

I've always had a pet peeve for summons(in all games) and have done plenty of hunts with them too.

Like remember blocking minotaur archers with parcels and hunting Black Knight/double hero/single warlock/maybe even behemoths with them. When mino archers were unable to move I think they had some issue were they spammed damage like hell too or maybe I'm misremembering and mixing it up.

Or using demon skeletons/orc leader with something like dragon lords/hydra/banshees. This is the types of hunts I've did at least.

>>10599269
I don't remember there being an issue with the respawn. It is possible we went upstairs and went back in once we saw flames, but I doubt it. It's 2 paladins hunting dragon lords without human a blocker. I have more screenshots of this other spawn though.

Things I also like.
Poverty hunts where maybe even regen or spending as little as possible will cover your expenses. Compare that to current Tibia heh
Finding that one spot inside a spawn were the monster you are hunting will appear and walk to you.
Summons and finding some niche use for them.
Traps. The item I mean.

There's nothing to solve, it's just a Forgotten Realms reference.
