Did You Know

Main

 * [[Image:Black book.gif|right]]You can write up to 1023 characters in most books/documents, except for labels which hold 79 characters, scrolls which hold 511 characters, and letters, which hold a massive 1999 characters. Blackboards hold 199 characters.

Day and night
* Each day in Tibia lasts one hour in Real Life.
 * For people who are a whole hour ahead or behind GMT (or on GMT) midnight will be every hour, on the hour (eg 9:00 PM, 6:00 AM, etc). Noon (midday) will always be at 30 minutes post the hour (eg 9:30 PM, 6:30 AM, etc).
 * For people who are X hours and 30 minutes ahead or behind GMT it is the opposite. Midnight is at 30 minutes past the hour, and noon on the hour.
 * Each night in Tibia lasts 20 minutes in Real Life. This is equal to 8 Tibian hours.

NPCs

 * Aruda, an NPC in Thais, may steal from you, depending on what you say to her. Everytime she says, "Sorry, I was distracted," it means that she has stolen some of your gold!


 * The Vampire called Vladruc in Venore's Magic Shops can act differentently when wearing a Garlic Necklace or when you use the Creature Illusion spell to change your form into that of a vampire.


 * Merchants in Rookgaard will buy a Brass Armor for 150 gp, but, apparently, brass armors cannot be found on Rookgaard. This may be due to the fact that a Minotaur Mage, such as the one in Mino Hell, could drop Brass Armor when killed.


 * If you ask Ashtamor in Venore about the "time", he will tell you what time it is, "but the true question is: How much time is left?"


 * It is completely possible to set an npc on your ignore list which can be done the same as any player say "hi" then right click on their response message and click ignore

Beholders

 * [[Image:Beholder.gif|right]] The Beholder's language is called 469, and is produced by a series of blinks using their 5 eyes.


 * Beholders used to have 6 eyes, [[Image:beh1.gif|Old_Beholder.gif]] but due to an unforseen shift in the Godly powers (CipSoft Update) they now only have 5.


 * Two new beholder classes have arrived: Elder Beholder and Gazer (Also known as Baby Beholder)


 * The Beholder's boss is known as The Evil Eye.

Cyclopses

 * [[Image:Cyclops.gif|right]]A Cyclops[[Image:Cyclops.gif|right]] has 4 toes on his right foot, and 3 toes on his left.
 * Cyclops wears Bast Skirts, but why can't you loot them in Cyclops [[image:Bast_Skirt.gif]] [[image:Cyclops.gif]]

Wasps

 * [[Image:Wasp.gif|right]]A Wasp can fly over land, but cannot fly over water below it, or can they fly over trees, bushes, etc.,...


 * A Wasp can fly, but it falls through pitfalls.

Scorpions

 * [[Image:Scorpion.gif|right]]You can open a Scorpion corpse, but it will give no loot.

Vampires

 * Vampires [[Image:Vampire.gif]] can turn into bats.[[Image:Bat.gif]]

Yetis

 * Yetis have been found on some servers, but some people didn't believe that they existed, until it was found that they are a type of boss monster.

Behemoths

 * [[Image:Behemoth.gif|right]]The name Behemoth is also used in many different cultures to denominate a spiritual creature, represented by many forms and meanings. More about it here

Minotaurs

 * [[Image:Minotaur.gif|right]]After you have delivered the letter to Markwin (as part of the Postman Quest), he will call you the "Hornless Messenger".
 * A book written by Markwin (the king of the minotaurs) says that he does not know what "KAPLAR" means. The minotaurs yell this in battle.
 * In the Science Fiction series Star Trek, K'Plar is a kind of battlecry for an alien race of warriors. Maybe that is where CIP got the idea.
 * The Mino Mage changes his wand to the left hand and right hand went he moves

Mimic

 * [[Image:Mimic.gif|right]] Mimics could be summoned by a mage for no more mana than it would take to summon a rat. Cipsoft fixed this, and Mimics can no longer be summoned.

Mammoth

 * [[Image:Mammoth.gif|right]]Much like the Mimic, Mammoths have not yet been seen, but after update 7.7 it was possible to summon Mammoths for 495 mana. Cipsoft fixed this after update 7.8 and none have seen one since.

Houses

 * Did you ever wonder why you could see through closed doors in Tibia? Well, me too.
 * Update: You look through the keyhole of course!
 * In reality, it was because when approaching a building from the north or the west, one could not open the door because of the view of the house blocking the view of the door. So this was fixed, and now we are free to open our doors.

Graphics

 * [[Image:Stone Skin Amulet.gif|right]][[Image:Medusa Shield.gif|right]]The face on the Medusa Shield, is the same as the one in the Stone Skin Amulet. This may be because of the legend that the snake-headed Medusa could turn you to stone with her gaze.


 * Also, the circles appearing when you are hit while using magic shield are the same that the circles made in the water when you fish, and is also used for the Hydras Hot Water Wave attack.


 * The lava bubbles [[Image:Lava.JPG]] has the same graphic as a Blood Orb [[Image:Blood_Orb.gif]]


 * [[Image:Outfit_Knight_Male.gif|right]]If you look at the male knight outfit from the left side or back, your arms do not look like arms but like severred limbs or flesh-matchsticks!

The Find Person-spell

 * Person is on same level and 5 to 100 squares away: [Person] is to the north/west/south/east.

Credits goes to for his Tibianews article: Studying the Ex Iva'' spell.

Ghostlands

 * [[Image:Ghost.gif|right]]The Ghostlands, west of Carlin, contains only one single ghost on the surface, which resides on an unreachable floor, and can only be viewed, never killed. Upon further study it apears that it is due to it being on an elevated surface with identical tiles to the ground below it. Due to the fact you are unable to levitate it is presumed to be more than 1 floor above ground level. (most likely two).


 * In Ghostlands, there is a Wild Warrior [[Image:Wild_Warrior.gif]] who is a master of camouflage [[Image:Knight_Statue.gif]].

Rods and Wands

 * [[Image:Wand of Inferno.gif|right]][[Image:Tempest Rod.gif|right]]All Rods are directed vertically while the Wands are tilted right 45 degrees. Also, names or rods are always like "X rod", when names of wands are like "Wand of X".

Ounce

 * You can move a lootbag from over 5000 oz. 5 squares away, but you can't do the same with a body.

Leftover arrows

 * In Carlin, if you go to the second floor of the paladin guild (shooting range), there are 3 tables with arrows and bolts sitting on them. If you're a paladin and short on cash, collecting these leftovers can help you with your vocation.

Dragons

 * The claw of Demodras is green [[Image:Dragon_Claw.gif]], but Demodras is actually red.[[Image:Demodras.gif]]
 * Like the Claw of Demodras, Dragon Scale Mail is green[[Image:Dragon_Scale_Mail.gif]], yet it is only looted from Dragon Lords who are red. [[Image:Dragon_Lord.gif]]

Wind

 * The wind of Tibia appears to always blow towards the east, and the only thing in Tibia that is affected by the wind seems to be the water and flags.

Calassa

 * Despite the fact that Calassa is an underwater area, you can use create Fire there.	[[Image:Large_Fire.gif]][[Image:Medium_Fire.gif]][[Image:Small_Fire.gif]]

Goblins

 * Even though Goblins carry spears, they cannot drop them, and they disappear when you kill them.


 * Goblins have been never updated, since the creation of Tibia.

Urine

 * You can find urine in many places in Tibia. Usually in Troughs that serve as restrooms for Trolls, Orcs or Cyclopes. There is an apparent shortage of restrooms for humans in Tibia. At one time in the past players would also urinate if they drank to much liquid.[[image:Urine.gif|right]]

Watches

 * No matter what the Tibian time is, the hands of a watch[[Image:Watch.gif]] always show the same time, quarter to two.

Bodies

 * After being killed, creature bodies are not movable for 10 seconds. Except for corpses which cannot be opened, like the Snake[[Image:Snake.gif]] or the Cobra[[Image:Cobra.gif]].

Hunter

 * [[Image:Hunter.gif]] If you can loot the Sniper Gloves from Hunters, then why don't they use them on their outfit?

Blueberry and Gold

 * Blueberries [[Image:Blueberry.gif]] weigh twice as much as gold coins [[Image:Gold_Coin.gif]] even though gold is very heavy in real life, and appears in-game to be much larger than a blueberry.


 * Gold legs, Armor, and Helmets also seem to be lighter than most their counterparts, however Golden boots appear to be the heaviest boots in the game, including the extremely heavy Steel boots. They're so heavy in fact, they weigh the exact same amount as the Golden Helmet.

Ferumbras
Take a look at this picture.
 * Ferumbras' [[image:Ferumbras.gif]] staff always looks the same, meaning you can always see the "F" shape on the staff, even if he turns around.

Bolts

 * Since the christmas 2006 update, bolts [[image:Bolt.gif]] have changed, but not the power bolts [[image:Power_Bolt.gif]].


 * When the Power bolts [[image:Power_Bolt.gif]] fly to the target they have the 7.9 design like the normal bolts [[image:Bolt.gif]], and they're blue.

Hellhound

 * The tail of the Hellhound [[image:Hellhound.gif]] looks at the end as the head of a snake.


 * The Hellhound is a direct connection to the Greek mythological fiend Chimera


 * Each head of a hellhound is symbol of Tibia elements. Left head is symbol of energy, center is symbol of fire, and right is symbol of poison.


 * A Hellhound looks a little bit like the big dog with the three heads in the Movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.


 * The hellhound shows some similarties to Fluffy - infact, during the 10th Anniversary Celebrations, a creature named Fluffy appeared and it had the Hellhound outfit.

Pirates

 * When the summer update 2006 came with the Pirates, in this time the Pirate film 'Pirates of The Caribbean' came into the cinemas.


 * The Pirate Corsairs use 2 different swords on their sprites [[Image:Pirate_Corsair.gif]]. However, They only drop one kind of sword, the Sabre [[Image:Sabre.gif]].


 * The Pirate Buccaneer has a bomb in his left hand, which is lit, but it never explodes [[Image:Pirate_Buccaneer.gif]].

Frozen Starlight

 * When an energy wand/rod like the Wand Of Vortex shot to a target, it looks if there would fly a Frozen Starlight [[image:Frozen_Starlight.gif]].


 * The star, hanging on the elven amulet [[image:elven_Amulet.gif]], looks the same as the Frozen starlight [[image:Frozen_Starlight.gif]].

Witches

 * When Witches attack you[[Image:Witch.gif]] they can turn you into a Green Frog [[Image:Green Frog.gif]] - but don't worry, after all they cannot turn you into a Toad [[Image:Toad.gif]].


 * Witches use fire attacks, but are not immune. However, they are immune to energy and poison, elements that they do not use themselves.

Nightmares

 * Just as the witches, the Nightmares [[Image:Nightmare.gif]] use an attack that they are not immune to themselves: The poison ball.


 * The Eye on the Nightmare Shield [[image:Nightmare_Shield.gif]] looks as an eye of an Nightmare [[image:Nightmare.gif]].

Orcs
The orc shaman always holds his spellwand to the left.
 * The Orc Spearmen [[Image:Orc Spearman.gif]] and Orc Riders [[Image:Orc Rider.gif]] use Dragon Lances [[Image:Dragon Lance.gif]] on their sprites, but Spearmen drop Spears [[Image:Spear.gif]], while Riders drop Obsidian Lances [[Image:Obsidian Lance.gif]]
 * Orc Shamans [[Image:Orc_Shaman.gif]] carry Red Spell Wand [[Image:Red_Spell_Wand.gif]] in their hands, but if you kill them, you may find a Wand of Plague. [[Image:Wand_of_Plague.gif]]

Quaras

 * 4 of the 5 Quara have similar feet. [[Image:Quara_Constrictor.gif]] [[Image:Quara_Hydromancer.gif]] [[Image:Quara_Mantassin.gif]] [[Image:Quara_Predator.gif]]
 * However, The fifth walks on crab-like legs
 * The tail of the Quara Predator [[Image:Quara_Predator.gif]] looks very similar to the creature product Fish Fin. [[Image:Fish_Fin.gif]]

Gamemasters

 * Heroes [[image:Hero.gif]] look the same as a Gamemaster. [[image:Gamemaster.gif]] Only that a Gamemaster has a blue and a Hero a red Cape.
 * Capes [[image:Cape.gif]] look the like the Cape on a Gamemaster [[image:Gamemaster.gif]].

Apes
The Kongra is the knight. He makes Meelehits.
 * Apes got like vocations:

The Sibang is the paladin. He throws Small Stones at his target.

The Merlkin is the druid and sorcerer. He cast magic's at his target and can heal himself.

Cedrik

 * There was a bug shortly after the update that introduced the city of Liberty Bay that you could start Sam's Old Backpack Quest with the weapons shopkeeper there, Cedrik! This was because CIP copied Sam ' s script for Cedrik, and forgot to remove that quest marker.

Butterfly's

 * A Butterfly [[image:Butterfly.gif]] flys over the lands, but why does them die when they fly through a Jungle Maw [[image:Jungle_Maw.gif]]
