Updates/10.8

The upcoming update is the 2015 Summer Update. Its version number will most likely be 10.8. Short teasers for this update started being released on May 5, and another 2-3 days after the last. This is quite unusual and may suggest that the update itself may be structured differently than they usually are.

FAQ

 * This FAQ will be removed some time after the update goes live. It's to answer questions that users might have about the update.

Q: Are they really nerfing runes?
 * A: Yes. Runes that are bought from the store will have reduced firepower.

Q: How much weaker will runes be?
 * A: Right now CipSoft is experimenting with 10% damage less than player-made runes.

Q: Can I purchase player-made runes from other players?
 * A: Yes. It doesn't matter if you made them yourself.

Q: Will my current runes be converted to player-made runes or NPC-bought runes?
 * A: CipSoft has implied that existing runes will become player-made runes. Please note that this and anything else is still subject to change.

Q: Why is CipSoft nerfing runes?
 * A: The objective is to make Rune Making more attractive. In today's Tibia, it is more efficient to hunt than it is to create runes. After the update, players might have more incentive to create their own or create them to sell.

Q: How are paladins going to be affected by the change?
 * A: The change will affect low level paladins the most because high level paladins don't use the ammunition being affected. Low levels will most likely struggle until they can use ammunition that is not being affected, such as Onyx Arrows, because creating one's own ammunition was never practical. However, as anything else, CipSoft may change this.

Q: What about burst arrows?
 * A: CipSoft has implied that new burst arrows will be player-made but as of yet there are no NPCs who sell them. It's possible that CipSoft will add burst arrows to an NPC's inventory.

Q: What about enchanted spears?
 * A: They are not affected by a change as there are no NPCs who sell them.
