TheOtServer

This is the big one: The Blades Board opens PvP bounty hunting, The Surveyors turn bug-reporting into a raffle, and the shop got rebuilt around a real Market. Faqir's Tasks, Castle War ceremonies, combat and a long list of world fixes round it out. Full breakdown below.

THE BLADES BOARD

A new PvP system tied to Faqir's book of daggers - kill someone past level 101 and your name goes in it
Assassins can accept a PvP Hunt in-game to claim an open contract; a green skull marks who's been marked
Kill your own assassin first and their reward becomes yours instead
Track it all on the website's new Blades Board - Most Wanted, Blades, Defiant, and the Legends of the Blade

THE SURVEYORS

Bug reports and suggestions now feed a shared map instead of vanishing into a queue - !report, !suggestion, and the client's own bug window (Ctrl+Z) all count
Say "!report map <what's wrong>" while standing at the spot and it gets pinned; confirmed reports earn raffle tickets in a weekly draw
New Surveyors page tracks the draw countdown and your own reports

FAQIR'S TASKS

Catalog now shows the kill count before you buy a task, same as Offers
Take up to 3 tasks at once - a second and third slot are purchasable
The task window moved into the equipment window, closes with ESC, and got a full card-based redesign
The taskbar button now shows an active-task border and a badge/shake when a task completes
New Catalog targets: Thul's Son, Thul's Father, Wisp, and Witch
Warrior, Paladin and Mage all now earn milestone gear at levels 20/40/60/80/100 through ANY completed task, not just a forced ladder

CASTLE WAR

Class-choice and promotion ceremonies got a full rebuild - new staged effects for all six vocations. Go find out what changed for yours

COMBAT AND EQUIPMENT

Every Guardian-line weapon now carries a scaling skill mastery bonus
Every shield now grants a scaling shield-skill bonus and elemental resistance
Your elemental and physical resistances now show on the client, not just in your head
Conqueror's 12 endgame two-handers are now properly level-gated to 100
Exani Hur no longer launches you while you're standing in shallow water
The wrong-vocation cast message now names the vocation you actually need
Fixed a rare freeze when Divine Wave's caster disconnected mid-cast
Hand-slot equip drops now redirect correctly instead of failing
Overlapping same-colour damage numbers on one target now merge instead of stacking up

REWARDS AND PROGRESSION

New: Exp Boost Wallet - rich task and hunt completions now bank exp-boost minutes instead of burning them instantly; spend them with !expboost whenever you're actually hunting
New: Daily Charge - a 7-day login streak banks bonus minutes to your Exp Wallet, VIP gets extra and an OTS Coin on day 7
Fixed two reward paths that were quietly handing out real shop items for free

WORLD AND ITEMS

Fa'hradin, the sigil-blessing enchanter, has set up his wagon near the temple - go see what he's offering, and maybe search that cart
A one-time yellow rose is waiting for whoever checks the stone coffin at the old ruins - once per account
Mirror of Rebirth now actually swaps your outfit's appearance, not just your character sheet
The OTS Coin has an official new look and now stacks properly - old coins were converted automatically
Hat of the Mad now grants +3 magic level for the mage line
Six stone wall window variants no longer block your spells, arrows, or your view through them
Sea monster wreckage is solid now instead of walkable
Faqir's covered wagon and the portal near it block properly and won't let Faqir wander off
Discord invite link updated everywhere it appears in-game

SHOP

The gift shop got rebuilt into a real drag-and-drop Market - build a set on the paperdoll instead of hunting through a wall of cards
Buy Set is now a real one-click purchase for a full class loadout, discounted and validated server-side
Gifting a purchase to another character now works cleanly, with a proper notice on their end
Shop, gift and donate pages are properly usable on a phone now

WEBSITE

New Bestiary - searchable monster grid, weakness lookup, and your own per-account kill tracking with animated creature art
New Screenshots gallery, grouped by patch note
Your Realm section rebuilt as a proper gallery: Daily Charge streak, Bestiary, House Rent and the Blades Board all in one place

Patch Notes: Faqir's Tasks Window, Castle Guards Get Personalities, and a Same-Account Combat Lock

Posted by Fishy

This round ships the Faqir's Tasks window, gives the Castle Sentinels new personalities and a nasty combo, and closes a batch of exploits - same-account farming, arena stalls, PvP alt-abuse. Full breakdown below.

FAQIR'S TASKS

The Tasks window is live in the client: Offers, Active Task, Catalog, Progress and Reward Odds tabs - accept, reroll or search without typing a command
Catalog searches by monster or task name; Progress shows your streak, weekly and Season Pass standing plus the rankings
Reroll and Shuffle costs, tiers and level gates all show in the window now

CASTLE WAR

Gary and Karen dropped the "Nightmare" prefix and picked up real personalities. What that means for you is not our problem - go find out
They count together now. Hear numbers, and you've got about three seconds to make better choices
Both got harder to solo and worse at ignoring you. Bring friends
The ballista aims now. Not an improvement for you
Owning guild can't farm their own King, guards or ballista anymore - nice try
A planted C4 no longer survives a crash or restart to ambush the next round

COMBAT AND SPELLS

Exiva finds the nearest monster now when no player matches the name - wild monsters only, capped at 150 tiles, current floor first
Divine Wave no longer chains through walls
Same-account characters can't hit each other anymore - closes the obvious kill-farm loophole multi-client allowed

PVP ARENA

Duels no longer hang - a broken payout used to freeze both duelists in place with no way out
The arena refuses a duel if either side is below the protection level, and says why

COUNTER-STRIKE

Knife capped at 1-2 damage, as intended
Info totems have a 3s cooldown now so they can't be spammed

BOSS-SLAYER REBALANCE

Rotworm Queen and Morgaroth both got a real HP/armor/defense pass - Queen was the softest boss-slayer target, not anymore
Aladin's HP raised to 5200 to match
Fast (10/15/18s) spawns floored to 20s - closes a farming shortcut

ITEMS

Sultan coin renamed to Sultan gold nugget - same value, same 100:1 ratio
Energy Ring and Power Ring work again
Onyx Arrow damage raised 38 -> 60
Quartermaster no longer sells bolts

QUALITY OF LIFE

Messages no longer show junk decimals like "8.0 more seconds"
Puzzle timer stopped spamming the server log, and staff are exempt from its timeout message again
Staff commands no longer echo into public chat

CLIENT UPDATE

Faqir's Tasks window (above) is the big one
It now lives inside the equipment window, closes with ESC, and got a full card-based redesign for readability
Limit Break pips and move-picker actually reached everyone this time - some clients missed the last sync

WEBSITE

Guilds can be disbanded straight from the website by the leader - clears everyone's guild status in-game right away
Highscores reworked again: no scroll-jump on filter changes, Mage/Paladin/Warrior get their own colours, renamed to Faqir's Hall of Fame
Founders wall numbering fixed - a deleted entry no longer leaves a gap
Bestiary Aladin HP updated to 5200 to match
Shop and recovery-key pages got a cleanup pass

Patch Notes: Guaranteed Ranged Hits, Castle Payouts Fixed, House Rent Overhaul, and Furniture Kits

Posted by Fishy

This past week's work covered ranged combat accuracy, Castle War payouts, house rent, new-character onboarding, Deco Seller's furniture system, Limit Break's move-switching, and a big NPC/shop cleanup. Full breakdown below.

FASTER LEVELING AND SKILLS

New experience curve: 12 steps instead of 8, so early levels fly by and the slowdown near the top is gradual instead of a wall
Warrior branch (Conqueror, Guardian and their reborn tiers) trains melee far faster from skill 10 to 75 - a couple of hours instead of about 15
Shield skill trains faster for Conqueror, Guardian, Mighty Conqueror, Heroic Guardian and Furious Warden
Characters above level 500 now see their real experience instead of a frozen number

COMBAT

Every bow, crossbow, spear, arrow and bolt now ALWAYS hits. Misses are gone. Your Distance skill and gear still decide the damage
Two hidden accuracy bugs were found along the way: several donation bows were secretly landing only about 1 shot in 5, and Warden spears ignored your Distance skill completely
Combat spears now throw 5 tiles (was 3-4), closer to bow reach
Sudden Death runes are no longer usable by the Warrior branch
Vortex rod works for Druids and Wise Druids again - it used to stop working the moment a Mage promoted
Promotions now inherit their base vocation gates automatically, so promoting can never silently take a spell or an item away from you
Creature Illusion (utevo res ina) finally exists. It was listed on the website but never actually worked - and now every vocation can use it
Guardian and Conqueror ultimate spells had their mana costs rebalanced
Guardian reflect retuned: the odd cap tied to the attacker's health is gone, and Guardian now sits just below Warden's peak
Sigil (Djinn Ankh Tonic) fixes: HP and Mana bonuses now add up correctly instead of compounding, they no longer shrink your HP when you relog or swap gear, and a leech stat can no longer roll with a 0% chance to trigger
Damage over time (poison, fire, energy fields) no longer charges your Limit Break gauge or procs reflect - standing in a field was free progress
Switching your Limit Break move mid-fight no longer resets your gauge - the damage you already took still counts toward the new move's cost
Two Limit Break exploits closed: you could no longer trigger a second Break while one was already active, and the gauge is rechecked at the moment you fire, not just when it first filled up
Fixed a display bug where the move you just used still showed "Ready" for up to 30 seconds after firing

NEW CHARACTERS AND TASKS

Every new character now finds a welcome gift waiting at the Reward Lamp: 30 platinum coins, 50 great fireball runes and 50 explosion runes
Fa'hradin gives a 3-step starter hunt that continues on its own: 25 rotworms, then 25 wolves, then 15 dragons. The wolf and dragon steps pay 1-5 levels and 1-5 crystal coins
The starter hunt kill counter was stuck at 0 no matter how much you killed - fixed
Low-tier tasks now open at level 8 instead of 15, and dragon-family tasks were lowered to match where the tutorial actually sends you
The top repeatable task reward is now a guaranteed Sigil of Fa'hradin (Tier III), and the Season Pass capstone gives Tier IV - both replaced a flat 3 potions
Rewards queued in the lamp no longer get silently dropped when several are claimed at once
The starter kit now fits in a fresh character's capacity, and Warrior weapons land in the backpack together with the autoloot broom

HOUSES

Rent is now based on house size - 15,000 gp per walkable square meter - instead of hand-set numbers with no relation to the house. Small houses got much cheaper, big ones cost more
Houses whose owner stops logging in go back on the market: a warning at 14 days, ownership cleared at 30. Nothing is destroyed, everything moves to the depot, and simply logging in resets the clock
Castle Village and staff houses stay rent-free

CASTLE WAR

Conquering the Castle now actually pays. Killing the King handed over the castle and then told the winners they had failed and paid them nothing - every conquest night paid zero. Fixed
The streak counts wars won or defended, not calendar days, and the messages now say so
Taking the Castle syncs the guild house guest list automatically
The Castle Guild House can no longer be sold or abandoned by accident

DECO SELLER: FURNITURE KITS

Deco Seller now sells real wrapped furniture kits, 38 of them, sorted into tables, chairs, storage and decor
Right-click a kit while standing in your house and choose Unwrap - the furniture appears under your feet. Wrap it back the same way, even after rotating it
Bed colour kits use the same Unwrap flow, just stand next to the bed
The old construction kits were badly mismatched (a bookcase kit built a standing mirror). Every kit was rebuilt and verified one by one

NPCS AND SHOPS

Loot now buys real equipment dropped by Dragon, Dragon Lord and 31 of the most hunted monsters - 36 items added, each priced at its real Tibia value
Shop cleanup: Faqir sells mana potions, Quartermaster no longer sells potions and runes, Rune Seller lists potions first and gained Strong Mana Potion, all food is 20 gp, all rings are 3,000 gp (Might Ring stays 10,000)
Mana Charges NPC responds to "trade" now, with short lines and quick-pick amounts
NPC prices and amounts no longer display as "500.0"
Dialogue clarity pass across 11 NPCs, and every clickable {topic} was checked
The King also answers "hail king"
Buying with a hotkey macro no longer floods your screen with purchase effects

ITEMS

Helmet of the Ancients: once charged with a small diamond it grants a permanent buff (+4 Sword/Axe/Club/Distance, +4 Magic Level, +5% absorb) and no longer decays back to useless
Squeezing gear of girlpower and whacking driller of fate now work as a rope, shovel and pick in one
Burst arrows now require level 100 (was 20)
The spellbook shows the same filtered list as !spells - no spells you cannot cast yet, no house commands
Potion descriptions list the correct vocations
A new library with 4 bookcases of real readable books, and book items can no longer be overwritten by players

EVENTS, CS AND CHAT

Every Events channel message is now tagged so you know what it is at a glance: [RAID], [BOSS], [CASTLE], [EVENT], [CS], [BOUNTY]
CTF, Team CTF and Counter-Strike score messages only reach players actually in that match
Counter-Strike screen clutter fixed. The Night Hawk and Glock fired their bullet from inside your backpack instead of from your character, which left an animation that never finished - and while it was stuck, no other effect or floating text could clear either. That was the stuck fire, the black tiles and the stacked countdown text
!report and !suggestion are no longer spoken out loud to everyone nearby, including the person being reported
The level-up effect burst was toned down
The auction house is switched off for now. It was refusing every single item; the bug is fixed but the system stays closed until it gets a proper pass

CLIENT UPDATE

New Hungry icon - the server now tells the client your real food and regeneration state for the first time
Limit Break: a row of 6 clickable pips under the Anger gauge lets you switch move with one click instead of typing !level <name>, and shows at a glance which moves are ready right now
Limit Break: Auto / PvE Only / Off is now 3 buttons instead of a cycling label, so you can see and set the mode in one click
Limit Break now shows its own separate progress bar during an active Break, instead of hiding your refilling gauge behind the countdown
{Highlighted words} in NPC dialogue are clickable
The Kills counter is back on the Skills tab, and long item and Limit Break names truncate instead of overflowing

WORLD AND MONSTERS

Monsters respawn on time again. The timer was being reset when the corpse cleaned up instead of at death, so some monsters took up to twice as long to come back
Monsters chasing you recalculate their path twice as often, so kiting around a corner reads much smoother
Monsters that resist fire, energy or poison no longer refuse to walk through their own field
New Thul cluster near the Sultan zone, plus new low-level spawn areas
Old GM joke monsters removed
Wandering NPCs now roam at one calm, consistent pace

STABILITY AND SECURITY

Fixed a client crash: looking at a tile with 10 or more creatures on it could crash the 8.60 client for anyone who saw it
If your character's home town was edited away in the map editor, that character was locked out forever. It now falls back to a valid town instead
You can leave a party while standing in a protection zone - it was silently blocked with no message at all
Closed a rope exploit that worked from a distance
Failed game logins are now logged and rate-limited, so password guessing gets the attacker banned automatically

WEBSITE

Highscores redesigned with an Iron Court hero section
Character pages now show equipment
Account page shows the correct rent period and warns you if your house is at inactivity risk
Download page rebuilt around the current client, with the dead alternative download removed
Login and password fixes for older accounts, plus a full translation pass across all 4 languages

Posted by Fishy

LIMIT BREAK REWORK

Break now fires itself automatically once your gauge is full - no more spamming !limit

!level now takes a move name (e.g. "!level Hell Knight") instead of a number
Live gauge, countdown, and move progress now shown in your Skills tab

Smoother movement through the castle gates and guard checkpoints
Castle Sentinels renamed: Nightmare Gary, Nightmare Karen, and Big Bertha
