#1. Jade Amulet

A beautiful piece of pixel art that conveys a sort of mystical presence. Embellished with carefully placed outlines of golden streaks makes this item pleasant to look at and a must-have in any household!

Thanks to all who participated in the fansite item competition! Picking just three out of over 100 submissions was a very difficult task, but we are happy with how unique the items were and how imaginative the Tibian community can be.

Stay tuned for more competitions to come!

Introducing new feature: Badges

What are Badges?

A badge is a proof that you as a Tibian player and TibiaHof user has achieved greatness - whether it be winning in one of our contests, achieving status on the site, being in the highscores, etc.

What do they look like?

The badge is a 32x32px image icon. Each badge image is unique and is displayed on several places on the site; such as on your personal profile, forum posts, community pages, and more.

Badges looks like this:

1.png

Only five badges can be displayed at each time. For example, up to 5 badges will be displayed on your user profile.

How do I mine a badge???

By the end of every month we create badges that we distribute to users, as well as announce it in a news article. We only generate a limited amount of badges at a monthly rate, usually 5-10 badges.

You are most likely to gain badges the more active you are in the community.

What kind of Badges are there?

There are basically five types of badges:
  • Super Rare - only one badge of this kind exists
  • Rare - 2 to 9 badges exist of this kind.
  • Semi-Common - 10 to 29 badges exist of this kind
  • Common - 30 to 49 badges exist of this kind
  • Very Common - 50+ badges exist of this kind

Future?

The three winners of the fansite item competition will win one badge each:

Each such badge is Super Rare, i.e. they are unique and thus there is only 1 of its kind.

Check out a list of all badges here.

You can always find a list of all badges if you go to Community > Badges.

Categories: Updates


User profiles have been revamped to integrate better with the newly added forum.

Here's an example of how the new profiles looks like.

Minor fixes
  • Fixed all checkboxes and radio buttons, so now you can click on the text next to each checkbox/radio button to select it
  • Fixed a bug with image search
  • Fixed a bug with not being able to tag players when editing images
  • Fixed yet another bug on forum that made it impossible to view character information on players with apostrophes in the name
  • Fixed a few details with the layout

Badges?

As you can see on the profiles, we're soon introducing a new feature called "badges". Basically, it's similar to achievement points - you can collect these badges by doing something great. More about this in a couple of weeks, so be sure to check back =)
