Echo Raids and Discovery System

Dear Tibians!

With this first feature teaser, we would like to introduce two new features.

Echo Raids will bring more variety to your hunts, while the discovery system, introduced with the Measuring Tibia quest, has been given a facelift to make the system more convenient and rewarding.

From now on, you may encounter echoes of the past during your hunts. Every now and then, a common or uncommon creature in a hunting ground can turn into a mysterious, stationary echo. If you step onto it, the echo will vanish and trigger a small raid with creatures of the same kind.

These Echo Raids are completely optional. You can simply avoid them if you want to continue your hunt uninterrupted. However, those who face the challenge may be rewarded for doing so. Most echoes will either summon a group of regular creatures or a smaller group of influenced creatures. In rare cases an Echo Warden may appear.

Echo Wardens are stronger versions of their original creature type and empower nearby creatures, making the encounter more dangerous. Defeating such a leader for the first time for a specific creature type will grant you additional charm points, depending on that creature’s difficulty. Your progress will be visible in the Bestiary, similar to Animus Mastery.

In addition, Echo Wardens will always drop one of the new basic imbuement scrolls. These scrolls work similarly to intricate and powerful imbuement scrolls and will be available for all imbuements.

There will also be new achievements connected to Echo Raids, so your efforts will definitely not go unnoticed.

Furthermore, we are improving the discovery system. We know that the feature was not always convenient to use. Therefore, all subareas will now be active for your character automatically. You will no longer have to manually start discoveries for individual areas in the Cyclopedia.

Once you have found all points of interest in a subarea, a new game window info banner will let you know. You will still be able to reset points of interest for a subarea through the Cyclopedia whenever you like. Messages and quest texts related to discoveries will also be adjusted to better fit the new system.

To make discoveries more rewarding, fully discovering areas will now grant your character additional speed in those areas. The more areas you have fully discovered, the stronger this bonus becomes, ranging from 100 to 195 speed. You will be able to see an explanation of this reward and its current value in a tooltip in the Cyclopedia map.

We hope that Echo Raids will create exciting moments during your hunts, while the discovery improvements give explorers a smoother and more rewarding experience.
