In real life, marriage is a binding contract between two people to unite to kinship. Similarly, Tibia has a marriage system. The Tibia marriage system is alike in some respects, but contrasting in others. For example, marriage is similar in that a character may not have multiple spouses at one time (the law forbids this in most countries). However, other laws governing marriages do not exist in Tibia. This means that same-sex marriage is permitted in Tibia.
Marriage[]
To get married, you will first need to prepare items such as wedding rings and outfits. The full list is:
- 2 Wedding Rings, one for each person.
- 2 Wedding Outfit Boxes, also one for each person.
And anything else which the party wish, to add formality to the wedding, such as roses, decor and the like. Note that weddings are not private, and uninvited players may crash weddings, so a party may prefer to hold a privately held wedding before or after.
A couple marries by requesting to be wed by priests. Both persons must engage in a conversation with a priest (may or may not be the same priest) simultaneously. There are priests with the right to marry in Thais (Lynda), Carlin (Tibra), Ab'Dendriel (Llathriel) and Kazordoon (Ferus). There are no level requirements to be met in order to marry, nor do you require a Premium Account.
After the couple get married, their wedding rings will be engraved with "player 1 and player 2 forever - married on date.". They will also receive Newly Wed Outfits.
For their honeymoon, they will be allowed access to Meluna for a day. Just say 'hi' 'meluna' 'yes' to the priest to get teleported to Ferryman Kamil. He can then sail you to Meluna. Players may remain there until after their honeymoon day, but should they ever leave from thereon, they cannot return (unless they remarry).
Transcripts[]
- In order to start the ceremony, both players must give their marriage items to the NPC:
|
Player 1 & 2: hi |
|||
- After both players give their items, now the ceremony can start:
|
Player 1: ceremony |
|||
- Now have your fiancee speak to her, saying the following:
|
Player 2: My heart belongs to Player 1 |
|||
Divorce[]
As in real life, a player can file for divorce. In Tibia one would request it from a priest. However, not all priests will grant this. Lynda, for example, is against divorcing and suggests that only a drunken priest would support such a proposal. In order to get divorced, one must travel to Port Hope and request it from the drunken priest, Brewster or ask Lugri north of Thais. Brewster will charge 5,000 gold for the divorce, Lugri will charge 10,000 gold, but in the event your marriage is voided, both players will have their Engraved Wedding Rings broken. You will also lose your Newly Wed Outfits, which can be attained again by remarrying. Unlike marrying players, divorcing only takes one of the players' permissions to get a divorce.
Note: You can avoid breaking your ring if you store in your depot or house.
You will get the achievement Commitment Phobic after getting divorced 3 times.
Transcripts[]
Lynda, Thais

Player: Hi |

Note: Lynda will not grant you a divorce.
Brewster, Port Hope

Note: He will only grant you a divorce if you have 5,000 gold.
If you do not have 5,000 gold pieces Brewster will say:
|
Brewster: Damn, I bet <hicks> your cheating spouse took all of your money <hicks> from you. You're as poor as a church mouse. <hicks> |
