The planned start of the Legacy, the new world of Castabra will take place on 19 April 2024 at 16:00 BRT (21:00 CEST).



For many years, we have been at the forefront of server hosting for the EU community, priding ourselves on our adaptability and responsiveness to feedback. The journey through Castabra's evolution has been enlightening, particularly with the bold introduction of a built-in bot, including a cavebot feature, in its initial iterations. This move was initially met with skepticism, diverging significantly from our traditional operations. However, this experience has been invaluable, allowing us to distill key insights and craft an even more captivating world in this third edition of Castabra.

We understand that the global gaming community cherishes our games, yet time constraints are increasingly a factor for many. With this in mind, and after thorough review of Castabra's past iterations, we have achieved an optimal balance that we are excited to share. In this latest edition, we fully embrace the utility of a clean, built-in cavebot, enhancing the gaming experience for those with limited time. Simultaneously, we have taken a decisive stance on PvP interactions by strictly limiting bot functionalities in these scenarios.

This evolution represents our commitment to listening and adapting, ensuring Castabra remains a dynamic and engaging world that resonates with our diverse and passionate community. We are eager for you to experience the enhancements we have made, confident they will enrich your adventures in Castabra like never before.

The planned start of the Vitality, the second world of Castabra will take place on 10 October 2023 at 17:00 BRT (22:00 CEST).


Over the past several months, we've been diligently working on Castabra focusing on its content and pushing the boundaries of innovation. In the upcoming edition, you can expect a plenty of enhancements and groundbreaking game aspects. Our team has been dedicated to ensuring that Vitality world offers a unique and refreshing experience, blending traditional gameplay elements with new and inventive features. We are confident that these updates will captivate our community and set a new standard for what's possible in the game.


Castabra is dedicated to players from all around the world. Thanks to our advanced network infrastructure, it doesn't matter where you're located, as you'll always have low ping and smooth gameplay. We have proven this in the last two editions of our server.

Daily Bosses

We have identified the need for in game content at all stages of the game and so we have developed 6 unique Daily Bosses! You can see below the different stages of difficulty;

Blaze the Havoc - Level requirement: 80+
Endless Frozen Eye - Level requirement: 100+
Eye of Destruction - Level requirement: 100+
Ophaniel the Undefeated - Level requirement: 130+
Ar'gazoth - Level requirement: 150+
Astaroth - Level requirement: 180+

There will be a dedicated locations where up to 5 players can enter and face a Boss with an opportunity to loot several prizes including our next huge update, Emblems. This feature enables you to kill up to 6 bosses (one from each difficulty) every 20 hours if your team is strong enough to defeat them all!

Emblems

To further extend gameplay we have prepared a new system called The Forge. There will be three types of Emblems - Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each Emblem will give you the chance to upgrade a selected piece of equipment from +1 to +7.

Bronze Emblem - using a Bronze Emblem will enable you to upgrade from 0 to +3
Silver Emblem - using a Silver Emblem will enable you to upgrade from +3 to +5
Golden Emblem - using a Golden Emblem will enable you to upgrade from +5 to +7

To upgrade your selected equipment simply use your Emblem on the item.

Each Emblem can be used once giving you a maximum of +1 each time. You must keep your fingers crossed when using your Emblems at The Forge as sometimes your Emblem will fail to upgrade your equipment and as a result your item can be downgraded by 1! But don't worry, you will never lose your selected equipment. If you wish to give your item some extra protection you can find a Downgrade Protector from the in game store - this only protects you for 5 Forge attempts!

In addition to increasing equipment statistics, each item on level +7 gives +4% extra damage from spells!

You will also be able to convert your Bronze Emblems to Silver Emblem and Silver to Gold using The Forge Machine that will be located in +1 Thais Temple. Simply use the machine and add 3 of the same type of Emblem and click the Forge button.



This system has been expertly calculated and we can ensure maximum balance to your gameplay meaning absolutely no overpowered new custom items but a brilliantly manufactured upgrade system. The team have submitted hundreds of hours testing and we have refined this precise new feature to perfection.

Cursed Chests

We have developed a system that generates Cursed Chests at random locations within the game. When you encounter one of these chests, you'll have the option to open it, revealing a teleportation portal. Upon entering this portal, you will be teleported to a challenge arena where you'll confront several waves of monsters. It's crucial to note that once you step into this arena, there's no turning back until you either defeat all the monster waves or meet your demise. Should you successfully overcome the challenges, you'll be granted access to unlock the Cursed Chest and claim its bountiful rewards. After securing your prizes, the system will then teleport you back to the location from which you initially entered.

To give some clarity on the burning questions we know both our EU community and BR/USA community will have, we would like to inform everybody of a few hot topics about the server:

There is NO PZ on boats or carpets
PVP enforced (the same as Castabra previous worlds)
Anti noob char system for War
Exori Vis is following target
Shared exp bonus for each different vocation in your party (a maximum of 60% extra for all 4 vocations)
Tasks will be for Money only, no EXP tasks
Frag system (please see Server information)
No overpowered custom spawns
No overpowered custom items

Fellow Castabrans, it's been a while since last interesting update, however it doesn't mean we stopped or were not working on improving our server. During the last week, we were hard-working on game updates as long as minor or major bug fixes which we would love to share with you now.

Boost event
Are you looking for an opportunity to level up and improve your skills? A 40% extra XP and 30% extra loot weekend is coming! So sharpen your weapons and stock up your potions, a weekend full of excessive monster slaughtering is waiting for you!

Between the server saves of May 12 and May 15, all monsters will yield of 40% more the usual amount of experience points, and loot from creatures will be increased by 30%.

Bestiary

Information: Bestiary is going to be enabled in game on 13rd May after server save.

The Bestiary serves as your character's repository of accumulated knowledge concerning the creatures of Tibia, categorized under various classes. Initially, these creatures, along with their classes, will be represented as silhouettes. The details about these creatures are unlocked and filled into their respective Bestiary entries through interaction.

To reveal an entry, the creature it pertains to must be defeated. The first defeat will inaugurate the entry, unmasking the creature's name, sprite, and the level of difficulty it presents. A counter tracking your kills will indicate the number of defeats necessary to uncover additional information.

To fully flesh out a creature's entry, you have to progress through three stages of detail. Stage one uncovers fundamental information such as hitpoints, speed, armor, typical loot items and a 5% increase in the experience gained from the creature. Stage two permits visibility of less common loot items, the creature's resistances, and provides a 10% boost in experience gained from the creature. When you've defeated a sufficient number of creatures to unlock the final stage, the semi-rare and rare loot items become visible, and the experience gained from the creature surges by 15%.

We are always working on the next development of the server and taking a very detailed strategy when deciding what the next update should be. We will continue to strive for perfection in every possible way so keep sending us your feedback as this is what helps us platform the perfect server for you, our players.

Stay tuned for more updates soon!

Due to lot of requests we did another quick patch with implementing Prison and Deeper Banuta into Castabra!



The entrance to that spawn is located here: http://map.castabra.com/#zoom,16,position,32656,32380,7

Additionaly, lot of you were asking and expecting us to implement experience tasks - with today's server save we have added 76 experience tasks into Task Manager Module. Please remember to restart and update your client, otherwise you will not be able to see these tasks in module!

Due to lot of requests we did a quick patch with implementing Freezemoths under Formorgar Mines



The entrance to that spawn is located here: https://map.castabra.com/#zoom,16,position,32053,31169,12

We are thrilled to announce that significant changes and enhancements will be implemented during today's server save.

Many of you been asking for a Spirit Fields which we have added to our other server. We finally decided to implement this, so you can get even nicer wars between guilds or more hardcore hunts on that map. For these who don't know what is Spirit Fields - it's a place on which you are not getting any frags, it's a PVP-E island on which everyone may kill anyone without punishment. However, due to there is no PZ on that map, we decided to keep PZ on the boats, so you can regroup your team safe on that place.


You will be able to travel here by saying Spirit Fields to boat NPC - from Thais to the north boat on the map, from Port Hope to the jungle boat on the west and from Ankrahmun to the Desert side on the east. Once you are at the war map you can also travel to each boat quickly E.G just say hi, west, yes to get to jungle boat, hi, east, yes to get to desert boat, hi, center, yes to get to center place, hi, north, yes to get to north place.

Remember the important things:

1. You will get a skull on attack target but you will not get any unjustified frags when killing players in this location.
2. You can travel here by 4 boats – Thais, Ankrahmun, Port Hope and Svargrond.
3. If you in warmode with your victim, you will get EXP as normal.
5. You can buy supplies here and also there is a Bank.
6. Exp / skill loss is same as normal.
7. Aol / bless loss is same as normal.

Since the start, we were reading your ideas and reviewing the gameplay at all. Most of you were asking about teamhunts improvements or even solo hunts for Druid/Paladins. Together with the whole support, we were talking about what can we do to make it more funnier, and we decided to improve/implement few things:

- Improved party shared bonus for full team (4 vocations) to 100%
- Avalanche's for druids - these can be only conjured by druids and cannot be bought from any magic shop. Only druids are able to use that runes aswell [adori gran frigo].
- Druid's UE [exevo gran mas pox] from now will deal 70% damage of mage's UE
- Infernal Arrow's for paladins - this ammunition will work very well on teamhunts and can be bought from Williard in Edron.

With this update, you can also expect new spawns:

- Brutuses - can be found there: https://map.castabra.com/#zoom,16,position,32648,31997,13
- Chaos Hydras - can be found on Spirit Field's map [jungle one]
- Cursed Mummies - can be found on Spirit Field's map [desert one]

We have also fixed some minor bugs:

- fixed pz bug on Eclipse
- added missing items to the Market
- you may travel to Fenrock with PZ now

Additionaly, from now you can see Warzones scores on the webpage in Highscores section.

We are always working on the next development of the server and taking a very detailed strategy when deciding what the next update should be. We will continue to strive for perfection in every possible way so keep sending us your feedback as this is what helps us platform the perfect server for you, our players.

What does the upcoming merger mean for the affected game world?

Players from Infinity world are going to lost their houses, all items that are inside are going to be transfered to their depots.


Please keep in mind that it is necessary to merge these worlds to have one stable server which is supposed to stay for a long time.


Get Ready!

We are excited to announce that our game engine has been improved to provide even smoother and more efficient performance.

In addition to the improved performance, the updated game engine will make it easier for us to continue developing new scripts and features for the game. This means that players can look forward to even more exciting content in the future. However, as with any new technology, there may be unexpected issues that arise.


We have put a lot of effort into carefully writing and testing the new code, but as we are only human, there is always a chance that something could go wrong. That's why we ask that all players please exercise caution while playing today. If you encounter any bugs or issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team on our Discord so we can quickly address them and get you back to enjoying the game.

Additonaly as you can already see above, we have launched web map view on Castabra. Aswell as minimap in-game client has been updated.

For a long time, in the areas of the World of Castabra, the Factions had bloody disputes with each other. Former alliances ceased to matter, and the words given by the parties ceased to be valuable. Age-old but extinct conflicts flared up again. Taking advantage of the confusion, the ugly creatures sensed the moment when they could become the power they always wanted to be, they had been in the shadows for a long time, watching the events, but the time for action had come. The brutal and untamed Orcs, under the command of the Orc King and his warlords who advised him, built their fortress in the swamps near the Holy City of Ab'Dendriel, which had belonged to the Elven clan for many, many years. The orcs have holed up behind the high walls of the fortress, producing more brothers ready to move for the glory of the race. They armed themselves and trained in battle so that in the near future they could take over the world, taking and using all who tried to oppose them.


Quest Spoiler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C84q4nmWRP4

At a time when the city of Carlin was freed from the bonds of Thais, the brave Bella Bonecrusher gathered the bravest women under her command and together they created the Amazon Clan. Strong and independent women decided to close ranks to oppose the approaching danger. Until recently, their hiding place was shrouded in mystery, and it's all because the women, trained to survive in the most difficult conditions, attacked by surprise, leaving no traces. They were perfect hunters, so they knew their trade, and due to the hatred they felt for their enemies, they did not want to give them an advantage.

Until a group of orcs patrolling the area near the fortress noticed a moving caravan of a group of women. This group turned out to be a branch of the Amazons. Unfortunately, they were carrying a mysterious, legendary, precious treasure. The orcs, seeing the opportunity, did not wait a moment, but immediately rushed to the attack. Their goal was simple: track down, find, annihilate. After a hard and bloody battle, the scouts surrendered WOMEN and took over a unique treasure that contained the legendary Amazon Set, which was to be transported to the Amazon Vault. The orcs in glory and glory returned with him to the camp.

Since then, all the Amazons, led by Bella Bonecrusher, have sworn revenge on the Orcs. They promised that regardless of the losses incurred and the energy put into this goal, they would succeed and defeat the forces of green plunderers. However, the Orc forces were so powerful that the Amazons had no chance against the overwhelming numbers of the Orcs. When the case seemed to be lost, it turned out that the brave women were not left alone in the fight. The Elves, the eternal enemies of the Orcs, could prove helpful, they had enough strength to face the Orcs, but the Orc Fortess seemed impregnable.

But who would have thought that...
...the clever Bella Bonecrusher has made her way inside the Orc Fortress and has stolen the keep's secret blueprints. She kept that map tucked away in the Amazon Camp safe vault along with her other most valuable loot. The King of the Orcs has sent a message to the world about a reward for a daredevil who will help in recovering the stolen plans before they fall into the possession of the Elves. And as the treasure is precious, the reward for the help will be equally precious. This is how this fantastic adventure begins.

The update will come on Wednesday after server save!

We are always working on the next development of the server and taking a very detailed strategy when deciding what the next update should be. We will continue to strive for perfection in every possible way so keep sending us your feedback as this is what helps us platform the perfect server for you, our players.

We would like to invite you to our discord server https://discord.gg/4wPCNJ6, where you can talk with the entire support, propose your changes, conduct discussions and look for companions to play together!

The planned start of the Lucidity, the second world of Castabra will take place on 3 November 2022 at 18:00 BRT (22:00 CET).


First of all we would like to express our greatest appreciation to our players of Castabra - we have been overwhelmed by the support and feedback from the community. Castabra has been a huge success since starting and this is down to the community and the hard work of our team. Whilst Castabra has been running we are always considering how to continue perfecting your playing experience, and we are extremely excited to show you the developments in the new world, Lucidity.

The Castabra project was launched to connect with a new community for us, the BR/USA community. When we first launched we sat around 100-150 players and in such a short space of time the server grew rapidly day by day, and within 4-5 weeks there was a stable 600+ players online. Having 1,000+ players was never our goal, but to engage with a new community and produce a server everyone loved and enjoyed was top of the list.

We must express our huge gratitude to the Administrator of Old Tibia Fanpage and his support network, for without their leadership, ideas and strategies, we would not be here announcing this incredible project today.

With Castabra's success we have also concentrated our efforts on developing a server that welcomes both our EU and BR/USA community. Through hours of meticulous testing we can now invite you to a unique server from which everyone can join - offering an incredible opportunity to merge two huge communities, on one impressive server.


Our goal for several years has been to perfect the infrastructure of our server enabling players from across the world to connect in one place. It may surprise you as we announce this today, but finally we can share our long term project. When you login to Castabra our infrastructure is automatically connecting you to several servers, optimizing the best possible connection and providing you with the most stable option. We are now able to share the astounding result of our long journey with you, offering the first ever server where you can connect from anywhere in the world!

The hard work has been done, we ask you to join us and enjoy it for yourself!

Although at first we were sceptical, our new partners at Old Tibia Fanpage and the wonderful BR/USA community have opened our eyes to a new way of playing. We have been hosting servers for the EU community for many many years and all the changes and suggestions made for Castabra were completely against our usual way of working! Adding a built in bot including cave bot, we thought this was crazy! It's because of this experience that we are able to find the conclusions we have today and refine an exciting new world to bring you.

Let's face it, our beautiful games community from across the world is appealing to a huge percentage of players slowly getting less time to play. Following Castabra and reviewing every single impact this implementation had we have established the perfect balance - keeping a totally clean Cave Bot and strictly removing all PVP bot functions.

This has not been a simple process, taking all feedback into consideration and ensuring the new system works perfectly, your game-play experience will now offer a solution for people with less time and include benefits for those who have more.

We accept that in the past, mistakes have been made and steep learning curves have been endured. One of the key points of pain was over powered spawns playing a large role in making servers unbalanced or perhaps.. favorable to certain people. This incredible new world will not host any of these broken spawns, having reconnected with the community on what is important and exploring successful options from the more original, beautiful part of the game.

To give some clarity on the burning questions we know both our EU community and BR/USA community will have, we would like to inform everybody of a few hot topics about the server:

There will be no Inquisition
There is no PZ on boats or carpets
PVP enforced (the same as Castabra Infinity)
Anti noob char system for War
Exori Vis is following target
Shared exp bonus for each different vocation in your party (a maximum of 60% extra for all 4 vocations)
Tasks will be for Money only, no EXP tasks
Frag system (please see Server information)
No overpowered custom spawns
No overpowered custom items

List of spawns for upcomming Castabra 8.0:

Chimeras
Necros above Chimeras
Bonedemons Edron
Chaos Hydras
Venom and Toxic Spiders
Brand-new orcs southern of Thais
Eyelords both spawns
Cursed Mummies Ankrahmun
Walls
Ankrahmun 60+ Tomb
Drefia Tomb

Additionaly, many of you are asking about the vocations balance. It'll be mostly Kasteria balance, however with some nice additions that should improve the game:

Improved burst arrows for mages. Mages from now can use these to fight against others, the power of bursts is compared to 7.92 version.
Improved Explosion rune which makes it useable again for each vocation - even Knights.
Wild Growth rune for Druids. Druids from now can shot Wild Growths from far.

Dear players,

As you all know Castabra is a bot-friendly server, however since the start many of you were requesting blocking the PVP scripts. We are currently working on prevent usage of these scripts, however we cannot guarantee it will happen within a day or two. For that reason, we have decided to temprorary limit these most overpower functions as much as we can, untill we don't implement the correct protection.

From tommorow's server save which will take a place on 5 October you'll be exhausting on equiping Stone Skin Amulets, Energy Rings and Might Rings for one second per equip.

Additionaly, we have been receiving a lot of reports from RPG players - that war players are killing everyone without limit, means the current frag limit was bit too high. Due to that, we have decided to decrease amount of frags as follows:

- You will receive a red skull after killing 3 players within 24 hours (16 hours if you are a premium account player)
- You will receive a black skull after killing 6 players within 24 hours (16 hours if you are a premium account players)

We believe that these changes will help both of player types - these war and these rpg.

We are doing our best to deliver you the best product and listening to every case individually.

Best regards,
Castabra Team.

It's been a month since Castabra has launched! It was hard-working month, but for such a fantastic community every hour is worth it!

With tommorow's server save, you will be able to see new client module - Calendar, which won't only shows current day or month, but much more! Calendar module has been created to show you upcomming Raids or even Events which are going to be hosted in the future on Castabra!


Tommorow aswell, you will be able to visit new place with brand new monsters so called Chimeras which with their friendly beasts Hellspawns might cause a lot of trouble for anyone who decide to face them, be carefull - they are not nice creatures, really. Chimeras can be found in deeper of Ghostland.



We are not forgotting also about newcommers and low-level characters – dedicated for you a new spawn of Necromancers in the route to Chimeras, you’ll definitely find it as a good place to level your character!


We have been receiving reports about actionbar issue, that sometimes might stuck your cursor while using it and you have to restart your client to get rid of it. We are glad to inform you that with tommorow's client update the issue will no longer bother you and everything should be work as supposed!

We would also like to invite you to our discord server https://discord.gg/4wPCNJ6, where you can talk with the entire support, propose your changes, conduct discussions and look for companions to play together!

Sincerely,
Castabra Support.

Dear players,

Due to lot of reports that low level characters are destroying fights between guilds, we have decided to implement few things which should help abit to avoid war destroyers:

- if a player that is not involved in War Mode will shot an magic wall near guild members (during the battle, atleast 5 guild members have to be on the screen) with activated war mode will be instantly yellow skulled for all of the guild members that has activated war mode

- if a player that is not involved in War Mode will attack any guild member (during the battle, atleast 5 guild members have to be on the screen) who has activated War Mode will be instantly yellow skulled for all of the guild members that has activated war mode



These changes are going to be applied at next server save which will take a place on 27 September!
