The nights are getting darker and darker! It is up to you to brighten the sky, or evil forces will break through into our world. Team up with your comrades and show the darkness what you are made of!

From server save November 11 until server save November 15, ten fire basins need to be kept burning to dispel the lingering gloom. But watch out - if a single light goes out, your world has failed!

Please note that we have made some changes to the event, as announced in the August news article:

• The level cap for redeeming midnight shards has been removed, and the maximum number of midnight shards that can be redeemed for experience has been increased to 80 (from 40).
• The burning time of the basins has been increased from 2 to 3 hours.
• In addition to the shared XP bonus, a world reward of +3% life leech and +1% mana leech will now be available until the end of November.
• Players will receive 1-3 midnight shards for lighting a basin, with the shards being placed directly into the player's inventory.
• The final brocade backpack reward has a rare chance to include a new item, the celestial torch.

 If you are interested in helping, you may want to visit Lucius in Yalahar once the event has started. Also, some of our supported and promoted fansites provide detailed guides with useful information about this happening, so pay them a visit. It is also a good idea to check your world board to see if other players have already started with preparations for the Lightbearer.

To the torches!

Feasted on the winter update teasers? Time to sharpen your weapons and set out, Tibians!

Brand-new questlines and hunting grounds are waiting, from the next chapter of Etzel’s tale in Order of the Stag to the eerie depths of Roost of the Graveborn, where an ancient menace stirs.

And that is not all: spell opacity is finally here, the multiaction button makes everything smoother, object targeting got smarter, and the brand-new task system is brimming with rewards.

Jump in and explore, then tell us what you think! Your feedback is crucial, so get out there and make your voice heard on the test board.

This is the plan for the test server phase:

Fansite representatives, focus group members, former closed beta testers and selected long-time players have been invited for today's start of the test servers.

All premium players will have the opportunity to join from November 14 and finally, on November 17, free account players will also be able to join.

Check the test website www.test.tibia.com for further info! Please note that in order to log in, you will have to use the email address your account had been registered to when the character backup was taken, as well as the password of this date. The character backup was taken on October 21, 10:00 CEST.

If you have received an invitation, you can now find the test client under Manage Clients and join the party. All testers are able to send bug reports ingame (CTRL + Z are the magic keys) and to post on the forum.

The realm needs your voice, brave adventurer!

Enjoy!

Dear Tibians,

With today's server save, we have made adjustments to Newhaven and Thais Wolf Den.

Newhaven

• Increased DPS of all creatures.
• Spellbook and brass legs can now be sold to NPC Avriel.

• Some attacks now deal earth damage instead of physical.

• Added axe to loot table.

Thais Wolf Den

• Reduced melee damage of rabid wolf and ragged rabid wolf.
• Both creatures have a new attack that deals earth damage.

In addition:

• We fixed an issue where banners could not be disabled via the options.
• We fixed an issue where the action bar text hotkeys were not working in NPC dialogue.
• We fixed an issue where NPC dialogue using touchscreens was causing crashes.
• We fixed an issue where the free Adventurers Guild trip with NPC Charos was no longer possible.
• We fixed a bunch of minor map and NPC bugs, graphical glitches and typos. 

Happy hunting,
Your Community Managers
