2026 summer test

Dear Tibians,

welcome to the test server of the summer update 2026!

This thread revolves around the bossfights from the new quest Shards of a Broken Moon:

• Rakesh Moonfang
  
• The Moonsnow Magnolia

Both fights can only be attempted solo. Rakesh Moonfang is a Bane Boss and can be challenged every 2 hours, while The Moonsnow Magnolia is an Archfoe Boss and can be challenged every 20 hours.

When you provide feedback for these bosses, it helps us if you let us know when (e.g. before or after a specific change) and how you tested something so that we know which version you are referring to.

Please keep in mind that you can use the voodoo doll to reset the cooldowns of the new bosses.

Hello Tibians,

I hope you have already had some exciting encounters with The Moonsnow Magnolia. Thank you for all your feedback so far!

A) Is the portal supposed to behave like the werebosses, allowing only one player inside at a time?

That is indeed correct. Both Rakesh Moonfang and The Moonsnow Magnolia are solo bosses, so only one player should be allowed inside the boss room at any time. However, due to a bug, it was possible to enter the boss room while other players were inside. This has now been fixed.

The boss have some mechanic about the rounds sparks in the floor or we just have to kill her at once?

The moonsilver drifts interact with certain creatures, but they can also be triggered when players step on them.

Still not sure what does the Bone Fiddle do.

As with any instrument, rhythm and timing are everything when playing the bone fiddle.

Best regards and happy boss slaying,
Ilyndor

Hello Tibians,

Thank you for your feedback on the boss fight against The Moonsnow Magnolia. We are currently looking into the following topics:

• Loot improvements.
  
• The number of minions that can be in the room simultaneously in extreme cases.
  
• Damage spikes and mana drain.
  

If there are any adjustments in these or other aspects of the fight, we will post an update in this thread.

Best regards and happy testing,
Ilyndor

Dear Tibians,

Before the weekend starts, we have prepared some changes to the Moonsnow Magnolia boss fight, based on your feedback and our data. These changes should already be live on the test server.

• Increased the loot in general and added additional thematic loot.
  
• The Moonsnow Magnolia can now remove magic fields.
  
• Completely removed the mana drain from the boss fight versions of frost flower asura and midnight asura, and reduced the mana drain from The Moonsnow Magnolia.
  
• Reduced the damage output of The Moonsnow Magnolia and lowered the probability of the "Freeze to Death" attack.
  
• Moonsilver Drifts will now appear more slowly in the boss room. We have also added text messages when a player, a midnight asura or a frost flower asura steps on them to make the mechanic easier to understand.
  
• Reduced the damage output of the furious jaracal and frostnight asura minions. True to her name, the frostnight asura will now deal a more even mix of ice and death damage.
  
• Reduced the respawn speed of minions.
  
• Reduced the number of furious jaracals that The Moonsnow Magnolia can summon. Also, a little hint: You can completely prevent these "cat" raids from happening.
  

Please try out these changes and let us know what you think.

Have a nice weekend,
Ilyndor

Hello Tibians,

Thank you for your continued feedback on The Moonsnow Magnolia. Based on your suggestions and our data, we have decided to make a few more adjustments to the boss fight:

• Bone Fiddle: Reduced the cooldown from 15 to 12 seconds.
  
• Loot: Added ice shards to The Moonsnow Magnolia's loot pool.
  
• True Midnight Asura: Removed the drunkenness effect from the version that spawns in the boss room (this does not affect the regular version).
  
• Moonsilver Drifts: They will now be displayed above most other objects, such as minion corpses.
  
• Mechanic notifications: They will now be displayed in ALL CAPS for better visibility.
  
• Bone Fiddle reaction: Increased the visibility range of The Moonsnow Magnolia's reaction text when a player uses the Bone Fiddle.
  

In addition, we have decided to increase the experience gained from The Moonsnow Magnolia from 150,000 to 240,000. Unlike the other changes, this adjustment did not make it into this morning's patch.

Best regards and happy testing,
Ilyndor
