Auto Screenshot, Status Bar and Bestiary Additions
The summer update brings some great new features for the Tibia client.
The client will be able to automatically take screenshots to capture important stages in the life of your Tibian character.
In the advanced options menu you will find a new submenu, which allows you to activate different events for which a screenshot should be taken.
You can choose whether you want to capture only the game window or the whole client interface. Assign a hotkey and you can trigger the screenshot feature whenever you want.
If you have activated the option "Keep Backlog of the Screenshots of the Last 5 Seconds", additional screenshots of the last 5 seconds will be cached in the client and saved whenever the auto screenshot feature is triggered.
Another new feature is the Status Bar. The Status Bar offers you bigger health and mana bars and can be placed on the bottom, the top, or on the side of your game window. Right-click on the bar and you can choose from four different styles "Compact", "Default", "Large" and "Parallel". Furthermore, you can select your skills and character level to be displayed as well. The Status Bar can be activated in the HUD submenu of your advanced options menu.
Last but not least there are some changes for the Bestiary. For example, the newly added Occurence parameter will determine the rarity of a creature as "Common", "Uncommon", "Rare" or "Very Rare". There is also a new level of difficulty called "harmless". Creatures are classified as harmless if they give neither XP nor loot when they get killed.
With the exception of "Very Rare" classified harmless creatures, 25 kills are required to complete the respective Bestiary entry of a harmless creature. Each of these completed entries yields 1 Charm Point.
Besides all harmless creatures, we also added many other creatures to the Bestiary that have been missing so far. If such creatures, regardless of their level of difficulty, are classified as "Very Rare", it will require 5 kills to complete their entry. Based on their difficulty, completed entries of "Very Rare" creatures provide 5 (Harmless), 10 (Trivial), 30 (Easy), 50 (Medium) or 100 (Hard) Charm Points.

Deadly Breezes of Perfume and Fish
I saw an interesting advertisement in the paper the other day. Young dancers would give you a great show in an old temple in the jungle of Tiquanda.
Of course I went there immediately and as it turned out the ladies were really pretty to look at.
I had heard the stories that behind those pretty faces and their initial hospitality, they are bloodthirsty demons but well, you know... The things you do for free wine, a nice dance and other intoxicating substances...
The asuri realised very quickly that my strength was surpassing their own by far and they guided me discreetly through a door on the top floor.
They told me that I would meet their princesses but to be honest, I was absolutely convinced that they were just afraid that I could discourage the other visitors.
Oh boy, I have never been so wrong in my entire life. Behind that door, I faced the true horror.
Countless swords and daggers had struck me down from all directions. I had no idea what happened to me and before I knew, I woke up in the temple.
That was a very painful experience for me and even now, two weeks later, my armour still smells of the sweet perfume of the midnight asuri.

That was close. I barely made it out alive. Turns out that diving can be quite dangerous these days.
Those black "things" I encountered are ruthless and murderous. If I translated their language correctly, they call themselves deathlings.
According to what I saw in that lost temple in Tiquanda, they are gathering in large numbers. Someone has to stop that from happening!
There is a visual resemblance between the deeplings and those creatures. Somehow, they must be congeneric but it looks like they are fighting each other.
I should report these findings at the Edron Academy, they looked into fishy business in the past.
The deeplings can be quite annoying already but you can keep them under control and you get used to their smell of fish.
If they lose this fight and the deathlings take over their realm, one can only imagine the terror they are going to spread over the whole island and ultimately over all Tibia!
I hope the deeplings are willing to form at least a temporary alliance against the deathlings.

Bugfixes and Content Changes
A new client version has been released with today's server save. Among others, we have fixed the following things:
- Dice are now correctly identified by the quick looting blacklist.
- The "Killed Monsters" statistic in the Hunting Session Analyser now also tracks creatures that potentially give loot but no XP (e.g. chicken, deer).
- The XP/h display in the Hunting Session Analyser should no longer reset randomly.
- Loot messages of several chests are now displayed correctly again.
- A visual inconsistency in the calculation of the transfer date of a house transfer on our website has been fixed.
Have fun, Your Community Managers
Today, we added some new home decoration for the skeleton lovers among you to our Store. We have collected the bones of many monsters that you have killed and used them in ornate pieces of skeletal furniture. Take a seat on the purple cloth-covered Skeletal Chairor use the Skeletal Cabinet to make sure that someone always keeps an eye on your household.
Besides other stylish pieces of skeletal furniture, we added some beautiful flowersto the Store which bring some fresh and beautiful colours to your backyard. The plants do not require daily care and if you are beset by mosquitos, the Carnivorous Plant might be your best choice to get rid of those little troublemakers.
Furthermore, you can purchase a cute little Baby Rotworm which hides in his box filled with earth. If you prefer a rather furry pet, you should check out the Fennec, which can be fed with different kinds of meat from time to time. Last but not least, there is an AnglerfishLamp that can illuminate the dark corners of your dwelling.
When bought, these items are directly delivered to you as decoration kits, which can be unwrapped inside your house. The unwrapped decoration items are non-takeable and also indestructible.
Enjoy the new deco items, Your Community Managers

RUMOUR OF THE MONTH
Those frequently upcoming desert storms in Darama might be caused by guzzlemaws having a cold. Due to nasal congestions, they sneeze out an enormous amount of air through their jaws and send them westwards across the sea towards the desert. |

ANCIENT DISCOVERY OF THE MONTH
My team and I have been stationed in Darashia for almost three years now. Yet, I am still surprised by all the unique treasures and buildings the desert's sand has buried over the centuries.
Just a few days ago, a sandstorm uncovered a very interesting statue not far from here. It seems to mark the entrance to an ancient site. I have already sent down some of my men to further investigate the area but they returned empty handed.
They said powerful and complicated mechanisms are protecting the place from unwanted intruders and they were not able to solve them. I will have to request additional resources from the headquarter. This place requires a lot more brainpower than we have right now.

MOTA MANAGER MESSAGE
I consider my Museum of Tibian Arts to be one of the most important buildings known to Tibian kind. Thanks to the numerous donations of our loyal patrons, we are now able to to start the long overdue extension of the MoTA. The museum will become even larger and offer more diversity and art.
As a matter of fact, we have already torn down the first walls but are currently facing some difficulties that might prolong the whole expansion. Behind those walls, we discovered a strange portal that seems to work as a passage for sinister creatures into my beloved museum.
Our efforts to close that portal have failed miserably. It just reappears! Aside from that, we are considered civilised experts in archaeology, the very idea of fighting monsters is abhorrent to us. Especially since those monstrosities surpass our known museum monsters in terms of strength and brutality by far.
Therefore, we are looking for a very smart, yet physically strong Tibian, who is able to traverse the portal and take care of whatever is hiding behind it.

ADS FOR ARCHAEOLOGISTS
ASURA PALACE is a great place to stay if you conduct research in the area of Tiquanda. Beautiful young dancers are going to take your mind off your worries. Enjoy their show.
DARAMA, many ancient tombs and sites are still buried under the sand. Always make sure to have enough water, your shovel and pickaxe as well as some scarab coins with you when you visit the desert.
FIEHONJA, a beautiful yet mostly uncharted underwater dungeon. Many secrets are waiting for you. Trust me, visiting this place can literally take your breath away.
EDRON, come and explore the mountain castle. Rumours have it that the castle hides undiscovered secrets beyond all the chalk and dust. It is a great place for ambitious archaeologists.
GARETH is looking for a part-time MoTA archaeologist. Our team is looking for a reliable Tibian who can take on some crazed display models from time to time. |
Tales of Storms and Ancient Chivalry
Day 1: What a great way to start my journey! Why did I have to be so stingy?
In order to save me some gold coins, I accepted this new offer from Captain Charles to take me from Port Hope to Edron for a cheaper price. "It might get a little windy on this route" he said. "But nothing to be really worried about" he said. Great... I am pretty sure that we faced the biggest storm known to mankind... and now I'm sitting here, stranded on this island.
Day 5: I have seen the suns rise and set four times already and yet I am still stranded. Yesterday, I found an old scroll in a chest, its purport is vague and it seems to be only one piece of a way bigger puzzle... Interesting. I wonder if somewhere else...
No, now is not the time to rack my brain for that. I need to focus on my mission. The scroll's secret will fill another page in my diary someday but right now, I need to get to Edron. There is a broken raft on this forsaken island. If only I could find a way to fix it....
Day 8: Oh thank you Fardos, my ordeal has finally come to an end and I have made it to Edron!
Behind those towering walls, you can find the most honourable knights in Tibia and here is where it all started. It is their place of origin. I can feel it!
Those ancient castle ruins in the north must have been their stronghold. It all makes sense. All these years of research, of doubt, of setbacks will finally pay off. Their castle was there, the whole time, deeply carved into the mountain providing all the clues needed to find out what happened, we just need to look closer.
I am curious to find out what awaits me in this mountain fortress. If any kind of hint or evidence is hidden in there, something about Ravus, something about the other side, whatever it is, I am the one who is going to find it.
However, before I do that, I will have to talk to those honourable knights in the city. Someone around here has to know more about them. I need to find the ancestors of those who witnessed what happened that night. The night, the Order of the Falcon disappeared...
