Blessings

Blessings can be obtained by players to reduce the amount of experience, skills and items that are forfeited in death. They are available on all game worlds (including Hardcore PvP game worlds since Update 8.5).

There are a total of 6 blessings. Their names and location where each is obtained follow:


 * The Spiritual Shielding, south of Thais (here). You may also get it by using a Spiritual Charm.
 * The Embrace of Tibia, north of Carlin (here). You may also get it by using a Unity Charm.
 * The Fire of the Suns, just below Ab'Dendriel (here). You may also get it by using a Twin Sun Charm.
 * The Wisdom of Solitude, on Eremo's Island (here). You may also get it by using a Solitude Charm.
 * The Spark of the Phoenix, inside Kazordoon (entrance). You may get 10% price discount if you have Phoenix Egg in your backpack. You must earn the Phoenix egg from the The Paradox Tower Quest yourself, you cannot use another player's Phoenix egg. This blessing has two parts: the life-giving earth (here) and the mark of the flame (here). You may also get it by using a Phoenix Charm.
 * Blessing of the Inquisition, in Thais (entrance). Allows you to buy all 5 blessings at once, even if your account don't currently have Premium Time.
 * Twist of Fate, at any temple NPC. Protects your regular blessings, in case you die in PvP fight.

The Wisdom of Solitude requires a premium account, but all other blessings can be bought by free account players.

Note: If you complete The Inquisition Quest then you can purchase the Blessing of the Inquisition, even if your account doesn't currently have Premium Time. This blessing costs 10% more than buying them separately.

Players under level 24 can do the Pilgrimage of Ashes Quest for reduced cost.

After death a character loses all blessings, except if the character was blessed with the Twist of Fate and is killed by other players. You can check which blessings you have already bought using a Ceremonial Ankh or an Ornamented Brooch.

Travelling
The safest and fastest way to buy all blessings when you don't have the possibility to buy the blessing of the inquisition is as follows: first go Thais to white flower temple, and buy spiritual shielding, then take the boat to Carlin, and buy embrace of tibia, from there either take boat or walk to Ab'dendriel for the fire of the suns, take the boat from Ab'dendriel to Edron and from Edron to Cormaya, from Cormaya to Eremo and buy the wisdom of solitude, after that take the Steamship to Kazordoon and buy the spark of the phoenix.

If you prefer saving some money, you should start in Edron, travel to Cormaya by boat or through Edron Rotworm Cave, from there to Eremo's Island and buy the wisdom of solitude. Go back to Edron and take the Magic Carpet to Femor Hills. Walk to Carlin and buy the embrace of tibia; then walk to Ab'Dendriel and buy the fire of the suns. From there walk to Kazordoon and buy the spark of the phoenix. Finally, go to the white flower temple and buy spiritual shielding.

For Yalahar residents a good and fast route is Yalahar -> Carlin (2 blessings) -> Ab'Dendriel -> Edron -> Cormaya -> Eremo (1 blessing) -> Cormaya, use Steamship -> Kazordoon, use Ore Wagons (1 blessing) -> Cormaya -> Edron -> Thais (1 blessing) -> Yalahar. You'll need 1225 gp travel money to cover for all Boat and Steamship and Ore Wagon fees.

Experience and Skill loss
Each Blessing reduces your experience and skill loss by 8%.

A character up to level 24 loses 10% in a death, a character 25+ loses $$(level+50)/100$$ levels when they die. After that calculated how much Experience that is of his total level. This number is the base reduction, this is how many % of your skills you will lose, and from this number is also calculated the reduction from blessings and promotion. Promoting your character will decrease the loss by 30%.

Example: A level 100 loses 4.5% of their total Experience without promotion. With promotion they would lose 3.15% ($$4.5*(1-0.3)$$). Each blessing will decrease the loss by 8% ($$previousLoss*(1-0.08)$$ for each blessing.

Item loss
Without blessings the chance of dropping any piece of equipment will be 10%. There is 100% chance of dropping all containers equipped.

1 blessing by 30%: this will reduce your equipment being lost to 7%, for a container it will be reduced to 70%.

2 blessings by 55%: 4.5% chance of dropping equipment, 45% chance of dropping a container.

3 blessings by 75%: 2.5% chance to drop equipment, 25% chance of dropping a container.

4 blessings by 90%: 1% chance to drop any piece of equipment, 10% to drop a container.

5 blessings will give full protection against item loss.

Note: A red skulled player will not have any protection against item loss and will still pay full price for all blessings.

Price
The price of blessings is a function of level, defined in piecewise fashion:
 * If level is less than or equal to 30, the price of each blessing is 2,000 gold (10,000 total)
 * If level is greater than 30 and less than 120, the price of each blessing is 2,000 plus 200 for each level above 30. That is, $$2000 + 200(L - 30)$$. This simplifies to $$200(L-20)$$ thus you can derive a number by subtracting 20 from your level and multiplying by 1,000 (for all 5 blessings)
 * If level is greater or equal to 120, each blessing will be constant at 20,000 gold (100,000 for all).

You cannot buy the same blessing twice.

The quickest way for players of level 30 and up to find out how much is needed in total for the 5 regular blessings is to simply subtract 20 from your level, and you get the amount in thousands of gold needed.

Example for a level 75 player: $$75 - 20 = 55$$, hence, 55000 gold in total for all 5 regular blessings.

The table below shows the blessings in each price, full blessing and full blessings including the twist of fate bless. Prices are displayed in gps.

After level 120, all blessings are the same price. Twist of Fate, however, increases in price until level 270 where it costs 50,000 gold.
