Changes in Gameplay
Poison will not be a standalone element anymore, it will be englobed unto the "earth" new element. There will be three new elements: ice, holy and death.

Vocation Balancing
Druids will not rely so much in energy and fire spells anymore, instead they will focus in ice and earth spells (the poison element will be replaced with the earth element). The existing spells will receive new names and just like the current spells, there will be a possibility for the other vocations to master them. Just not so accurately as the mage class.

Knights will be able to manipulate the elements as well, for a limited time span with the aid of the tibian magicians. Mages can enchant their weapons with magical gems, that can be refilled with magic at secret holy shrines that are only accessible to players with a premium account. Depending on the magical gem that is used, a certain elemental strength will bestowed upon the chosen weapon. This will convert a normal weapon into an elemental weapon.

Paladins will master one of the new elements, the holy element. Paladins will receive an entire new arsenal to fight off undead beasts. Furthermore, they can have their arrows and bolts enchanted with certain elements to inflict devastating damage upon the creatures.
