Find answers to frequently asked questions about Tibia, including game mechanics, items, character progression, and server information. Your essential Tibia FAQ guide.
Q: Is this game free?
A: Yes. However, you can pay for additional privileges. Not having these privileges does not mean you could not enjoy Tibia, though. More information about this in section 1. A).
Q: What/Who is CIP?
A: CipSoft GmbH (aka. CIP) is the company that created and operates Tibia.
Q: I've been right clicking this ladder for an hour and my char just won't climb it! HELP!
A: In Tibia, your character walks on squares/blocks/tiles (whatever you want to call them), so every time you step somewhere, your character walks from one square/block/tile to another. So, you need to RIGHT click the square/block/tile where the ladder STANDS. You should now climb up. If you have trouble seeing this spot you need to click, try stepping on the spot where ladder is just up from you, and then right click your own feet. Also, notice that if it's STAIRS and NOT a ladder, then you simply need to walk at it and your character will go up/down them.
Q: How can I get the sword that's surrounded by flames on that island in Rookgaard/Newbie Island?
A: You CANNOT get it. It is an unfinished quest. This sword (preferred as Sword of Fury in the sign) is called a Spike Sword. It has attack value of 25, is one handed and a good buy on Mainland. But do not even think about getting it on Newbie.
Q: Do rings/amulets do something?
A: Yes. I might make a section for them when I can. Meanwhile, you can read them here (information picked from Tibia's homepage): Might Ring: Decreases the amount of damage you take from enemies. Works only for a few times. Stealth Ring (former Death Ring): Makes you invisible for some minutes. Power Ring: Improves your fist fighting by a few points for some minutes. Energy Ring: Grants mana shield for some minutes. Life Ring: Grants additional regeneration for some minutes. Time Ring: Increases your walking speed for some minutes. Silver Amulet: Decreases the damage dealt by poison. Works for several times. Bronze Amulet: Decreases the loss of mana made by mana drain. Works for several times. Strange Talisman: Decreases damage done by energy. Works for several attacks. Dwarven Ring: Makes you immune to drunkness. Sword/Club/Axe rings: Improves your sword/club/axe fighting for some minutes. Elven Amulet: Protection against each kind of damage, has 50 charges. Protection Amulet: Reduces all damage taken by 5%, has 250 charges. Life Amulet: Protects from losing any of your skills or items when you die. There are other amulets and rings in Tibia, but you will need to find out their effect by yourself or look from other sites, for now.
Q: How can I kill the mino mage/ghoul on Rookgaard?
A: You cannot. Even if you somehow managed to actually REACH them, they would most likely kill you instantly. I doubt even a level 40 newbie could kill either one of them, at least not alone and without many brave Rookgaard-fighters' lives used.
Q: Can I/How do I move from one world to another?
A: If you are talking about moving from one server to another (e.g. from Antica to Nova): You CANNOT. There is no way to do that, so don't even try to mail CIP about. Meanwhile, if you are talking about moving from Newbie Island/Rookgaard to Mainland, you will need to talk to the Oracle on top of the Training Academy after you reach level 8. See section 2. I) for more details.
Q: Is there any way I can prevent/reduce lag?
A: Basically, yes. There are a few things that make lag in general: A lot of items on the ground, a lot of players online at the same time, bad connection and server problems. If you can fix even one of those, you may reduce the lag a little bit. 1. There are swamps, water areas and dustbins all around the Tibia. If you see an item on the ground or have an item with you that is most likely un-needed(daggers, moldy cheese, leather helmets and other weak or un-usable stuff), I suggest you throw them into one of those rather than on the ground. Also in dangerous closed-area hunting grounds (such as Dwarven Prison), you should throw the bodies of monsters into swamp/water/lava or just pile them on each other. 2. Getting a better connection usually helps a lot (it did for me). 3. There is nothing we (the players) can do about the amount of players online or server problems. CIP handles those.
Q: How do I raise my magic level?
A: You need to cast spells to use your mana. After you have used an amount of mana, you will advance in magic levels. I haven't tested this, but I am quite sure that you won't gain magic levels if you cast Magic Shield and lose mana by making enemies hit you.
Q: Can I get better boots than leather?
A: There are three kind of boots aside from leather: Steel boots, Golden boots and boots of Haste. Steel boots have DEF value of 3 and they are really rare, if not unexisting. Golden boots have DEF value of 4 and only few of them are told to exist. Boots of Haste have DEF value of 0, they increase one's speed a bit and are very rare loot of some monsters (black knights and necromancers at least). So in the end, I suggest you just stick to leather boots. All other boots cost really much and/or are too hard/impossible to get. However, if you happen to run to a chance to get some better boots, I suggest don't miss it.
Q: Is there a walkthrough to this game?
A: Tibia is not a linear story-based RPG, so not really. The most guides and FAQs about Tibia are usually newbie guides or lists of items, level up stats, etc. There isn't really a walkthrough that tells you what is exactly right to do and when.
Q: I heard that something strange is supposed to happen if you have dark armor, dark helmet and dark shield equipped at the same time.
A: I'm pretty sure that nothing happens. Tibia does not have any other that kind of functions, so I don't see why they would make an exception on this one. Meanwhile, it's also explained that wearing the dark set does not work because you need
