Hi Tibians,

welcome to the test server of the summer update 2024!

This thread is for the new hunting grounds from Sweet Dreams. There, you can find the following new creatures:

Chocolate Mines

• Nibblemaw
  
• Candy Horror
  
• Honey Elemental
  

Dessert Dungeons

• Goggle Cake
  
• Angry Sugar Fairy
  
• Candy Floss Elemental
  

The difficulty of these hunting grounds is comparable with Lion Sanctum and Asura Palace. In the Dessert Dungeons, you will only encounter creatures that attack from a distance with the most frequent attacks coming from within a short range. Meanwhile, the monsters in the Chocolate Mines will also attack in melee range. This is an experiment to try and see if the Dessert Dungeons will be more popular with sorcerers and druids.

In the Chocolate Mines, you will also get to battle Sugar Daddy, a giant made entirely out of candy. Despite his sweet looks, this foe should not be underestimated, especially since you can only face him on your own. Besides his regular attacks, this boss will also spawn sugary minions under certain conditions. During these phases, you will suffer from the new condition powerless that prevents you from using attack spells and attack runes while it is active. You should try to take out these slippery creatures quickly or you will give Sugar Daddy the opportunity to experience a real sugar rush that will considerably increase the danger of this boss encounter.

If you want to make us aware of a balancing issue, please use the following template:

We are looking forward to your feedback and wish you happy hunting!

Dear Tibians,

thank you for sharing your thoughts and impressions on the new hunting grounds and the new boss.

At the moment, we are still collecting your feedback and evaluating our data. If there are any changes, we will announce them here in this thread.

Wiki has reference and a sprite for a Sugar Mommy boss. Are we missing a boss teleport somewhere? Perhaps it was meant for the other dungeon? Is the Sugar Daddy boss fight variable that sometimes it will trigger Sugar Mommy instead? Does she just random spawn within the spawn?

You are on the right track. Sugar Mommy does not always wander through the Dessert Dungeons but she will make an appearance soon. Maybe you already have an idea on where exactly that may happen?

Best regards and happy hunting,
Ilyndor

Is her a Nemesis boss? Please make it be a Nemesis boss to increase the activity of boss checking, since it has been a while that you added Nemesis bosses to check.

Hello ,

just like Sugar Daddy, Sugar Mommy is also a boss of the category Bane.

Best regards,
Ilyndor

Hello adventurers of Tibia,

we hope you are having fun with the new huntinggrounds and the new boss.

A lot of you have already defeated Sugar Daddy and it looks like his sugar rush has not been too much of a threat so far.

Therefore, we have decided to make the following changes that will go live with the next testserver update:

• Increased hit points: 6,700 -> 9,500
  
• Increased melee fighting buff and healing of Sugar Daddy when failing to kill his minions
  
• Increased DPS from spells

As always, we appreciate your input on these changes and look forward to your discussions in this thread.

Happy boss slaying,
Ilyndor

Dear Tibians,

thank you for your ongoing feedback. We are still evaluating potential changes for the hunting grounds as well as Sugar Daddy.

As a first adjustment to the hunting grounds, we have reduced the slow effect of the liquid liquorice. This change is already live.

Still no sign of the Sugar Mommy yet in any of my suspected theories. The hunt continues! Can you tease if she's been found on any of the test servers yet?

She has not been seen yet, but she will make an appearance soon.

I don't know if I am getting the minion part. 3 times during the fight he spawned some creatures that ran away (which I assumed after thinking about it were the workers) but he also puts powerless on me at the same time so its not like I can kill them?

The powerless effect is meant as an additional restriction. While attack spells and attack runes cannot be used during these phases, regular attacks are not prohibited. Defeating the boss is possible without killing the minions but is meant to be considerably harder. Feedback on the duration of these phases as well as the minions' behavior is much appreciated.

On another note, can you clarify if equipments are obtainable from Sugar Daddy/Mommy's loot?

The new equipment can also be acquired from Sugar Daddy's loot.

Happy hunting,
Ilyndor

Greetings Tibians,

before the weekend starts, I would like to answer some of your questions.

Originally posted by Tigrokey on 06.06.2024 12:19:07:

And finally since the 2h CD of Sugar Daddy is on the Boss Cooldowns, can Kroazur and other boss portals with CD ( I feel there are some but I cant think of them at the top of my head.. maybe WZ4-6 ... community help if you know them lol) also be added to the boss cooldown lists.

There are currently no plans for this.

Hmmmm... does Sugar Mommy spawn as raid every 180+- days in the middle of the donut isle (spiral thingy)....?

Some of you may have already seen Sugar Mommy today. She will be in her room in the Dessert Dungeons every week from Friday to Sunday and will spawn without a raid.

Happy hunting and have a nice weekend,
Ilyndor

Dear Tibians,

thank you for your ongoing feedback on your boss fights with Sugar Daddy.

To increase the benefit from successfully completing the minion spawn phases, we have expanded Sugar Daddy's sugar rush in the following ways:

• His damage buff will now also affect his spells
  
• If you fail to kill his minions, you will suffer from intense hex for 60 seconds each time you fail

We also want to address your feedback regarding the difficulty of killing all minions in time. To make this challenge more doable, we have made the following changes:

• Increased duration of minion spawn phases from 10 to 15 seconds
  
• All minions can now be challenged
  
• Reduced hit points of minions
  
• Increased earth sensitivity of truffle worker

We hope that these changes will make this bossfight more dynamic and fun.
These adjustments are already live.

The Sugar mommy boss spot is blocking resp when the player stands still in the spot, we spent more than 30 minutes on respawn and the boss didn't spawn

Thank you for reporting this. A fix will go live with one of the next testserver updates.

Happy hunting,
Ilyndor

Dear Tibians,

thank you for your feedback and your suggestions.

I believe something that this great content is missing is how to satisfy your hunger.

I believe to fix this if you carry a spoon around for example:

lets say you are able to defeat Sugar Daddy.

You get no loot and you are about to go kill other bosses that day..

Just before you head out you use your spoon on his sweet dead corpse to get a random benefit (like Demonic Candy Ball) or at least using the spoon gives you food regeneration.

We really liked the idea of adding a little special reward at the end of the Sugar Daddy boss fight and have come up with a sweet surprise.

Using a spoon on his corpse will revitalize you by embracing your inner candy and will also let you walk over the bubblegum patches without slowing down for a short duration.

This change will go live with the next testserver update.

Best regards and happy testing,
Ilyndor

Dear Tibians,

based on our data and your feedback, we have decided to increase the monster density in the Dessert Dungeons. This change will primarily affect the lowest floor.

Any chance of adding spoon to multi-tool?
Feels quite random to keep the spoon in backpack at all times

Thank you for your suggestion. We have changed this, so you will also be able to use the multi-tools for this interaction.

Both changes will go live with one of the next testserver updates.

Have a nice weekend and happy testing,
Ilyndor

Title/Abstract: Chocolate Coin Drop Rate is Too Low
The current drop rate with 10-star prey loot is around 8 to 11 per hour. For a 16,000 chocolate coin item, it will take around 1,600 hours of hunting.

thank you for your feedback. Please note that the items also drop from the boss Sugar Daddy and that this is meant to be the primary method of obtaining them.

Purchasing these items with chocolate coins is an additional option for players who are seeking a specific item or have already collected all the decorations.

Best regards,
Ilyndor

Hello Ilyndor,

Thank you for your response.

However, the Sugar Daddy has a cooldown of 2 hours, even when dropping a chocolate coin each time. Is this really the primary method? One chocolate coin every 2 hours?

Additionally, the Sugar Mommy does not always drop a coin, and her respawn is only available from Friday to Monday (SS) every 10 minutes.

I understand your response, but this can't be the primary method.

Thank you!

I think there might have been a misunderstanding. The items themselves also drop from Sugar Daddy, not just the chocolate coins.

Best regards,
Ilyndor

Hello Tibians,

I will close this thread now, thank you again for trying out the new hunting grounds as well as the bossfights against Sugar Daddy and Sugar Mommy and sharing your valuable feedback with us.

I hope you enjoyed your time in the Chocolate Mines and the Dessert Dungeons and look forward to your feedback once the updates launches.

Best regards,
Ilyndor
