2026 summer test

Hi Tibians,

welcome to the test server of the summer update 2026!

This thread is dedicated to the new hunting ground Asura Citadel, introduced with the quest Shards of a Broken Moon. This area is designed primarily for solo and duo players and offers a challenge comparable to the Asura Vaults.

Depending on the floor you are hunting on, you will encounter different combinations of monsters:

Ground Floor

• True Midnight Asura
  
• True Frost Flower Asura
  
• Winged Jaracal

Floor -1

• True Midnight Asura
  
• True Frost Flower Asura
  
• Silverfrost Sentinel
  
• Iceplume Strider
  

Each monster combination has different strengths and weaknesses, so make sure to come prepared for the right challenge. Your knowledge about the Asuri might also come in handy.

------------------------------------------------------

June 24, 2026: Stack limit for silverfrost sentinel

Dear Tibians,

Thank you for your feedback about the Asura Citadel. To rein in the silverfrost sentinel's damage potential, we have introduced a stack limit for its damage increase. Additionally, the increased damage per stack has been reduced slightly, and it no longer takes drowning damage.

Best regards and happy hunting,
Ilyndor

Hello adventurers of Tibia,

Thank you for your continued feedback on the Asura Citadel hunting ground. We are currently looking into potential issues with the catnip raids, as well as the overall density of the hunting ground.

If there are any changes, we will post an update here in this thread.

Best regards and happy testing,
Ilyndor

Hello Tibians,

based on your feedback and our data, we have decided to increase the monster density on both floors of the Asura Citadel.

Please try out these changes once they go live with one of the next test server patches and let us know what you think.

Have a nice weekend,
Ilyndor

Hello Tibians,

Thank you for your continued feedback. We have made the following changes to the catnip and gilded bell mechanics:

• All monsters spawned as part of these raids will now despawn after 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds.
  
• Limited the maximum number of simultaneously active raids to three.
  

We believe these changes better reflect the original design of these items while preventing abusive behaviour.

Of course, we are also reading and evaluating your other feedback. If there are any changes, we will announce them here in this thread.

Best regards,
Ilyndor

Hello Tibians,

Thank you for your feedback on the Asura Citadel.

To make the Forbidden Gardens more rewarding, we have decided to implement the following changes. These should go live with this afternoon's test server patch.

• Adjusted parts of the layout to make hunting more efficient.
  
• Increased the experience gained from true feverbloom asuras from 7,400 to 7,850.
  
• Significantly increased the monster density and added several true dawnfire asuras to the hunting ground.
  

Best regards and happy hunting,
Ilyndor

Dear Tibians,

As the test server is coming to an end, I would like to thank you once again for your continued feedback on the new hunting grounds of the Shards of a Broken Moon quest.

Once the update goes live, we will continue to monitor these hunting grounds and make adjustments if necessary, so please keep sharing your feedback with us.

Take care, have fun exploring the new content once the update goes live, and happy hunting!
