Dear Tibians,

welcome to this thread regarding the new items from this year's summer update.

Rise of Podzilla

The following items are part of the Rise of Podzilla questline. All items have a minimum level requirement of 330 and a classification of 4.

Thematic Item Design:
The amber shaper is one of the rare crafters able to forge high quality amber weapons. The intrinsic abilities of amber are its potential of delivering pure elemental damage and resonating with certain spells creating even bigger bursts of damage.

We have updated the description at the start of this thread with the new values.

In this context, we have also changed the descriptions of the augments from "mean damage/healing" to "base damage/healing" which is in line with the in-game descriptions.

Please let us know your thoughts on these changes.

Have a nice weekend and happy hunting,
Shazaya and Ilyndor

Hello Tibians,

I also believe that you forgot to change the excluded imbuement on cocoa grimoire from dragon hide to cloud fabric when you've changed the elemental protection on it.

This information was indeed missing, thank you. I have updated the description in our initial post.

Best regards,
Ilyndor

Dear Tibians,

the changes that we announced last Friday are now live.

Besides the increased drop chance of the ring of temptation, we have also slightly increased the drop chance of the rest of the "Sweet Dreams" equipment and reduced the chocolate coin price for the ring of temptation.

In addition, we have also updated the sprite of the amber cudgel to give it a sturdier and heavier look.

Happy hunting,
Ilyndor and Shazaya

Dear Tibians,

we appreciate your feedback on the new items. One of the most discussed topics in this thread were the augments for single target spells, which we want to address in this post.

In one of the next testserver patches, we will reduce the group cooldown to 2 seconds for all single target spells that previously had a 4 second group cooldown. This will affect the following spells:

• Annihilation
  
• Ultimate Flame Strike
  
• Ultimate Ice Strike
  
• Ultimate Energy Strike
  
• Ultimate Terra Strike

While we are aware that these spells still cannot compete with potent aoe spells we believe that this change will bring them more in line with modern Tibia gameplay and open up more cases in which they are useful.

Best regards and happy testing,
Ilyndor and Shazaya

Greetings Tibians,

we would like to thank you again for trying out the new items and sharing your valuable feedback with us.

We liked a lot of your suggestions and may consider them for future item designs.

This thread will now be closed. We hope you enjoyed your time on the test server and look forward to your feedback once the update launches.

Best regards,
Ilyndor and Shazaya
