Blessings

Blessings can be obtained by a player to reduce how much experience, skills and items you will lose in a death. They are available on Hardcore PvP game worlds since Update 8.5.

There are a total of 6 blessings:


 * The Spiritual Shielding, in Thais.
 * The Embrace of Tibia, in Carlin.
 * The Fire of the Suns, in Ab'Dendriel.
 * The Wisdom of Solitude, at Eremo's Island.
 * The Spark of the Phoenix, in Kazordoon.
 * Blessing of the Inquisition, in Thais. Allows you to buy all 5 blessings at once.

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 are able to buy Blessing of the Inquisition. This blessing costs 10% more than buying them one at a time.

After death a character will lose all blessings. You can check which blessings you have already bought using a Ceremonial Ankh.

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.

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
Every blessing costs 2,000 gp for characters until level 30. After level 30 the blessings will cost 2,000 gp and an extra 200 Gp for each level you have($$level-30$$).

For a level 120+ character the blessings will cost a total of 100,000gp, 20,000 Gp each.

An easy way to work out the price for all blessings is your level minus 20.

Examples: This works only between level 30-120.

Level 100 = 80,000gp (100-20=80) -- Level 45 = 25,000gp (45-20=25).

You cannot buy the same blessing twice.

If you have a phoenix egg you can use it to get a 10% discount on The Spark of the Phoenix Blessing. This will only work if you finished The Paradox Tower Quest, no matter what reward you have choosen. The egg can be used an unlimited number of times.
