Did You Know

Swimming

 * Did you know that swimming pools are protected zones?
 * And also that you can logout while swimming?
 * Swimming also cures the fire damage much like antidote rune cures poison damage.

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.

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.

Ounce

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

Graphics

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


 * Also, the circles appearing when you are hit while using magic shield are the same as the wave circles in the water when you fish. The graphic is also used in the Hydras Hot Water Wave attack.


 * [[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 severed limbs or flesh-matchsticks!


 * On the male side, there are 6 sword addons, but only 3 axe addon. [[image:Outfit_Knight_Male_Addon_3.gif]] [[image:Outfit Demon Hunter Male.gif]] [[image:Outfit_Warrior_Male_Addon_3.gif]] [[image:Outfit_Oriental_Male_Addon_3.gif]] [[image:Outfit_Assassin_Male_Addon_3.gif]] [[image:Outfit_Pirate_Male_Addon_3.gif]] [[image:Outfit_Barbarian_Male_Addon_3.gif]] [[image:Outfit Nightmare Knights Male Addon 2.gif]]


 * The top of a Great Health Potion[[image:Great_Health_Potion.gif‎]] looks the same as a Strong Health Potion[[image:Strong_Health_Potion.gif]].


 * Did you know that you can't see throw windows like the Ship Cabin Wall Window[[image:ship_cabin_wall_window.gif]]?

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 appears that it is due to it being on an elevated surface with identical tiles to the ground below it. You can't levitate due the fact it is 2 floors above ground level. This is supposed to be an apparition, which is its name as well: An Apparition. [[Image:A_Ghostly_Woman.gif|right]] There are also other apparitions, which are also in fact levels above you: A Ghostly Woman and more on the Ghostlands page.
 * In Ghostlands, there is a Wild Warrior [[Image:Wild_Warrior.gif]] who is a master of camouflage [[Image:Knight_Statue.gif]].
 * There is a grave on the surface of the Ghostlands that reads: In honour of those, killed for a kiss. This probably refers to the Queen of the Banshees, who dwells deep below the surface. Her quest involves kissing her, at which point you will be teleported to your grave.

Beholders

 * 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, but due to an unforeseen shift in the Godly powers (CipSoft Update) they now only have 5.

 * Also, the Tibia.com Beastiary (or Creature Library) mentions nothing about Frost Dragons being Frozen Dragon Lords, in fact, it mentions nothing of Dragon Lords at all!

Goblins

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

Hellhound

 * The tail of the Hellhound looks at the end as the head of a snake.
 * The Hellhound is a direct connection to the Greek mythological fiend Cerberus
 * A Hellhound looks a little bit like the watch dog Fluffy with the three heads in the Movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It has the same name as the 10th Anniversary Monster Fluffy.

Mammoths

 * You could summon a Mammoth for 495 mana after update 7.7, even though there were no in-game spawns of the creature. CipSoft fixed this after update 7.8 by removing the ability to summon a Mammoth. The Summer Update 2007 created the city of Svargrond where Mammoths spawn frequently.

 * The eye on the Nightmare Shield [[image:Nightmare_Shield.gif]] looks like an eye of a Nightmare
 * On the Nightmare Shield, you can see the two letters "N" and "K". They are the two first letters of the Nightmare Knights.

Pirates

 * Same time as the summer update 2006 came with the Pirates, the pirate film Pirates of The Caribbean II came onto the cinemas.

 * 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 one walks on crab-like legs [[Image:Quara_Pincher.gif]].
 * The tail of the Quara Predator [[Image:Quara_Predator.gif]] looks very similar to the creature product Fish Fin. [[Image:Fish_Fin.gif]]

Scorpions

 * You can open a Scorpion corpse, but it will give no loot.

Spirit of Fire

 * The Spirit of Fire [[image:Spirit of Fire.gif]] looks like a Hellfire Fighter [[image:Hellfire Fighter.gif]] without any Armor.

Trolls

 * The Swamp Troll will Poison you if it damages you but is not immune to poison.

Undead Dragons

 * The Vampire called Vladruc in Venore's Magic Shops can act differently when wearing a Garlic Necklace or when you use the Creature Illusion spell to change your form into that of a vampire. The name "Vladruc" may be an anagram for the name Vlad Dracula, for whom the 1887 novel Dracula is based on.


 * 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.


 * 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.

Hugo
Hugo is a recurring name throughout Tibia. First, there is the actual NPC, Hugo Chief, who owns a clothing store in Venore. Second, there is the old legend about the demonbunny named Hugo, which is a part of the Paradox Tower Quest. Third, the NPC Todd in Thais calls himself "Hugo" when asking about his name. Additionally, both Bozo and Zebron are said to have cousins named Hugo.

Medusa Shield

 * [[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.

 * One gold coin is 0.1 oz, or 2.8 grams. With the present worth of gold, one GP is about 60€, 90US$ or 45£. On unrelated note, the same amount of platinum "only" costs about 110€/175$/90£.


 * Golden Legs, Armor, and Helmet 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.

Frozen Starlight

 * The star, hanging on the Elven Amulet [[image:elven_Amulet.gif]], looks the same as the Frozen Starlight.

Teddy Bear

 * The teddy bear was made in the 1900s and the name comes from one of the U.S. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, although Tibia takes place in the middle ages.

Castle Shield

 * The crown on the Castle Shield [[Image:Castle_Shield.gif]] appears to be the same as the one on the Purple Tome [[Image:Purple_Tome.gif]].

Viking Helmet

Hunting Spear

 * [[Image:Hunting_Spear.gif|right]]There was a short period directly after Updates/Update 8.0 when Hunting Spears already changed into stackable Distance Weapons and were dropped by Lizard Sentinels in large ammounts (up to eight of them at once!). In this period you could sell them to Brengus in Port Hope for the old price of 250 gold and make a lot of money while hunting Lizard Sentinels. Cip fixed this bug after some days and the price for hunting spears is now only 25 gp. Additional the drop rate was lowered.

Tibia

 * The name Tibia is a medical (latin) name assigned to the human shin bone.
 * The Fibula is the bone placed behind the Tibia, and it is also known as the calf bone.
 * Femor Hills probably is inferred of Femur, the thigh bone.
 * Mount Sternum refers to a bone in the chest, the Sternum

Thais

 * The city of Thais may have been named after Thaïs, a prostitute during the era of Alexander the Great.

 * The shipmen on the ice islands Folda, Senja and Vega also have Scandinavian (Swedish, Norwegian and Danish) names like Nielson, Svenson etc.
