Rookgaard

Rookgaard (Newbie Isle) is an island located in the bay of Thais and the first place players visit after creating a new character. It's supposed to teach the basics of the game and give the first taste of Tibia to new players. After reaching level 8 they should talk to The Oracle to get to the Island of Destiny, though some players choose to stay on Rookgaard and never leave. Only players who are level 8 or 9 can leave rookgard, if you reach level 10 on the island, you will have to stay as a Rooker.
