You'd think the contractor of the assassination would catch on around the time he'd knee-deep in pillows.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The ultimate explosion was a huge mana drain, and while it did a lot of damage on a large area, it was not really practical on most hunts. It was later remade into four different spells.
** However, these four different spells aren't near as powerful as Ultimate Explosion was. The main problem with UE was that it wasted 800 mana points - A Master Sorcerer needed 50 minutes without using a single spell to accumulate such power, and flasks of mana fluid were very expensive, costing a small fortune to fill your mana meter. But when it fired it was THE big gun, doing an average of three times the damage of the strongest single-target spell (which was already 3x stronger than a top-level knight/paladin hit) inside of a radius that reached the screen borders, filling the screen. And only one creature was immune to it back then, the pitifully weak Ghost. The magic and damage system was revamped, so levels and magic levels would play a bigger level on damage calculation and they would finally influence how much damage physical weapons did (back then, a level 8 and a level 200 Knight did exactly the same damage, given the same weapon and the same skill level, while magic damage could be boosted with either level or magic level grinding). The mana regeneration was quadrupled, vials of mana fluid were discontinued and in their place came mana potions, providing twice as much mana for half the price and less regen variance (flasks of mana fluid itself weren't converted to mana potions, turning them into a semi-rare collector's item and a reminder of the old times). The tradeoff? Good for druids, giving up their joke attack "Poison Storm" for Wild Growth and Eternal Winter, while Sorcerers gave up their weapon of mass destruction in exchange for Inferno and Thunderstorm. Even with the exponential evolution of powers of the new damage system, both spells do not come even near the old Ultimate Explosion. Most top-level monsters are kinda drawn to fire and lightning, so they are either immune or highly resistant to it. In a way, if the Ultimate Explosion was kept, it would be awesome but practical.
** Ultimate Explosion had its place as a weapon for killing highest level players thanks to its incredible damage enabling AlphaStrike tactics, skipping what would otherwise be a lengthy process of exhausting enemy healing supplies and risking them either escaping to a Protection Zone or having their friends arrive to help.

* BarrierWarrior: The 'Magic Shield' spell, which causes damage to the caster to be subjected from MP instead of HP. Useful against bosses and for emergencies, but not so much when hunting in general, since keeping the shield up reliably requires a lot of Mana potions which are costly, and using mana for healing spells is always more efficient than 1:1 conversion ratio of Mana Shield.
** This was changed in late 2020 when the Magic Shield spell's mechanics were altered. It no longer uses the entire mana bar, but only a portion of it, and it cannot be refueled with mana potions, but with Magic Shield Potions.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: To access the majority of the game's areas, quests and other content, you'll need to shell out a minimum of ~$10 for 30 days of Premium Time. And getting most of the level 200+ equipment, which usually starts at around 1,000,000 gp and increases in price exponentially as you level up, will likely require you shell out money for [[RevenueEnhancingDevices Tibia Coins]] that you can then sell on the game's Market for gp, unless you want to farm the daily bosses (which require 5-man teams or mastering tricky mechanics, or both) with less than a 1% chance of dropping the level-appropriate equipment.


Added DiffLines:

* BribingYourWayToVictory: If you don't like working hard to get to a high level, you can literally ''buy someone else's character'' using Tibia Coins. More specifically, you can find people who are selling their characters on the game's Character Auctions and bid on them using Tibia Coins. Granted, there are a slew of (understandable) restrictions on what characters can be bought and sold, and the seller has to pay a non-refundable 50 Tibia Coins (~$2) just to post an auction, plus [=CipSoft=] gets a 12.5% commission on every auction. Extremely high level (1000+) characters will get auctioned off for hundreds of thousands of Tibia Coins, translating to thousands of euros/dollars in real world money!

* BarrierWarrior: The 'Mana shield' spell, which causes damage to the caster to be subjected from MP instead of HP. Useful against bosses and for emergencies, but not so much when hunting in general, since keeping the shield up reliably requires a lot of Mana potions which are costly.



* BreakableWeapons: The Ice rapier historically (a very powerful sword, with an equally high chance of breaking with each hit), it has since just became the [[ElementalWeapon ice equivalent]] of the [[FlamingSword fire sword]] though.



* SilenceIsGolden: The entire game actually. There is no sound whatsoever and the developers have repeatedly stated they will never put in any.



* SummonMagic: Both Sorcerers and druids have access to the 'Summon Creature' spell, which allows them to summon various creatures to help them in combat. Even if the creature in question is implied to be rather dumb, since [[CantUseStairs they refuse to follow you up or down stairs.]]
** A related spell is 'Convince Creature' which has the same end result, but convinces [[TheBeastMaster wild creatures]] to help you instead.



* TechnicolorFire: There are purple and blue flames in the pyramid theme area. Also, players on non-pvp worlds can shoot pale yellow fire that only causes harm to non-summoned creatures.

to:

* SquishyWizard: Booth Sorcerers and Druids, who gain hp and shielding much slower than paladin/knights nor can they wear as heavy armor. Somewhat balanced up though since they can instead use [[DeflectorShields Mana Shield]] and [[SummonMagic summoned creatures]] to take hits for them.
* TechnicolorFire: There are purple and Beyond normal red flames, blue flames pop up hear and there and usually signifies a teleport spot. There also exists [[PurpleIsPowerful purple flames, which is a a lot more dangerous to step in the pyramid theme area. Also, than normal fire]].
**
players on non-pvp worlds can also shoot pale yellow fire that only causes harm to non-summoned creatures.


Added DiffLines:

* VendorTrash: Mostly Averted. While pretty much every creature in the game drop some unique items of questionable value. Most NPC actually have valid reason for why they are buying such stuff in bulk. (Examples include Fiona, who buys magical components for use in her research, Baxter who buys Orc stuff as a form of bounty and Irmana, who buys fabrics and unique materials for use in her fine clothing business.)
* WhiteMage: Druids in theory. They have access to the best healing spells and the only ones who can heal other party members outside of potions/runes. Downplayed though, since they can be just as deadly as sorcerers against the right enemy.

Players get to choose from four classes:
* [[StoneWall Kni]][[CrutchCharacter ght]], melee class with [[UnSorcerer next to no magic skills]]. Naturally has the best defense mechanisms in game.
* [[EliteTweak Pala]][[ForestRanger din]], ranger class, using distance fighting and occassionally [[HolyHandGrenade holy magic]]. Is decent in defense as well, though lacks a few key tricks such as [[IShallTauntYou Challenge]].
* [[SquishyWizard Sorc]][[GlassCannon erer]], the BlackMage. Masters [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[ShockAndAwe energy]], but also has a couple of [[BlackMagic death]] spells.
* [[SquishyWizard Dru]][[CombatMedic id]], the WhiteMage, can be just as aggressive as sorcerers but not quite as cost effective. They make up for this by being the best healers. Masters [[AnIcePerson ice]] and [[DishingOutDirt ea]][[GreenThumb rth]].

!!Includes Examples of:

* AlcoholHic: In addition to this, getting drunk also makes you unable to completely control your walking.
* AnachronismStew: Alongside the standard Medieval Fantasy mainland, we get Viking-like barbarians, an {{Expy}} Ancient Egypt and 18th century styled Pirates ([[FantasyGunControl without firearms]], however)
** Pirate Buccaneers are actually seen holding a lit bomb, of course it doesn't actually factor into any of their fighting...
* AnIcePerson: Druids
* ApocalypticLog: And one of the finest examples of one.
* ArtEvolution: The game has undergone several huge improvements in graphics.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The ultimate explosion was a huge mana drain, and while it did a lot of damage on a large area, it was not really practical on most hunts. It was later remade into four different spells.
** However, these four different spells aren't near as powerful as Ultimate Explosion was. The main problem with UE was that it wasted 800 mana points - A Master Sorcerer needed 50 minutes without using a single spell to accumulate such power, and flasks of mana fluid were very expensive, costing a small fortune to fill your mana meter. But when it fired, oh boy, it was THE big gun, doing an average of three times the damage of the strongest single-target spell (which was already 3x stronger than a top-level knight/paladin hit) over an area of 64 tiles, filling the screen. And only one creature was immune to it back then, the pitifully weak Ghost. Recently, the magic and damage system was revamped, so levels and magic levels would play a bigger level on damage calculation and they would finally interfer on how much damage physical weapons did (back then, a Lv8 and a Lv200 Knight did exactly the same damage, given the same weapon and the same skill level, while mages could boost their magic damage with either level or magic level grinding). Also, the mana regeneration was significantly sped up - four times as faster - and vials of mana fluid costed half and did the double (whoever had a flask, it is still called flask and has the same old effect). The tradeoff? Good for druids, giving up their joke attack "Poison Storm" for Wild Growth and Eternal Winter, while Sorcerers gave up their weapon of mass destruction in exchange for... Inferno and Thunderstorm. Not only even with the exponential evolution of powers of the new damage system, both spells doesn't come even near the old Ultimate Explosion. Also, most top-level monsters are, you know, kinda drawn to fire and lightning, so they are either immune or highly resistive to it. So, in a way, if the Ultimate Explosion was kept, it would be awesome but practical.
* BagOfHolding: There is a "backpack of holding", though it is just a [[InNameOnly lightweigh backpack with 20% extra slot spaces]].
* BigBad: Several major villains exist, the worst being the evil god Zathroth.
* BraggingRightsReward: The four rewards one may choose from the Annihilator quest: [[InfinityPlusOneSword Sword of Valor]], Stonecutter Axe, Demon Armor or Gift Box. The box contains a teddy bear.
* ColorCodedElements / ElementalRockPaperScissors:
** [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] is red and most promimently weak to [[AnIcePerson Ice]].
** [[AnIcePerson Ice]] is blue and most promimently weak to [[ShockAndAwe Energy]].
** [[ShockAndAwe Energy]] is purple and most promimently weak to [[DishingOutDirt Earth]].
** [[DishingOutDirt Earth]] is green and most promimently weak to [[PlayingWithFire Fire]].
** [[HolyHandGrenade Holy]], [[BlackMagic Death]] and [[NonElemental Physical]] don't have any specific colors but usually appear as yellow, black and gray respectively.
* ContinuingIsPainful: Death will cost you a lot of money on higher levels.
* {{Cult}}: There are numerous cultists who attempts to summon demons, both in Liberty Bay and in Svargrond.
* DieChairDie: When you push innocent furniture through a crowded town, HilarityEnsues.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: From a book in the Isle of the Kings library:
-->"[...]I was there when Rorak slew Tingil at the stairs of the seven temples. I was there as Riik led his peaceloving people to the far north to find refuge from the war. I was there to witness the betrayal of Asric for the whims of a female that was long dead by then. I fought with the last Frdai a futile battle on the plains of Weskurt against the unseen legion. I witnessed Ss'rar making his move on ascension to become the serpent god. I watched the first elves struggling to form a nation with the help of the lightbearers. It was me who assisted the great calculator to assemble the bonelords language. And you come here to this mountain and ask me how to win the heart of some shepherdess? This world has become a ridiculous mockery."
* ElvesVersusDwarves: Hinted by some ingame books, otherwise, they don't seem to interact much.
* EvilSorcerer: Ferumbras clearly fits this trope.
* FaceHeelTurn: The green djinns, Arkhoteps generals, the people in Outlaw Camp and the heroes of Edron.
* {{Freemium}}: While a lot of the game is available for free players, Premium players are given access to special quests and areas, as well as additional perks that make life easier, like priority in the login queues or access to a server populated only by Premium users, and therefore much less crowded than the other servers. Premium time is obtained through Premium Scrolls, an item that is purchased with real money. The funny thing is, Premium Scrolls are tradeable, so a player who is feeling particularly generous can buy Premium time for someone else.
* GodEmperor: The Pharao of Ankrahmun is both the main priest and the god of his own religion. His powers are restricted to his kingdom and is based on undeath.
* GreenThumb / DishingOutDirt: Druids
* HereThereBeDragons: [[http://static.tibia.com/images/library/map_big.jpg One look at this map and you will NEVER want to swim in this game, ever.]]
* HighFantasy
* HolierThanThou: Paladins, as in most games. They didn't start out as this, however, as pre-2007 the Holy element didn't exist in game and Paladins were mere rangers.
* HumansAreSpecial: According to [[AllThereInTheManual backstory on the website]], humans were the last race created by gods to defeat the evil in the world, after Dwarves and Elves failed. Humans are also the only player race.
* LadyLand: the City of Carlin, ruled by a queen, female guards. Also the Amazon camp.
* MedievalStasis: Every race has been around for a while, but the most technical advanced thing is a steamboat made by dwarves.
* MerchantCity: Venore

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame
* OurElvesAreBetter: Subverted, see HumansAreSpecial.
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Many of the cases: [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls are low level monster with no special attributes]], [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons have wings but don't fly]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires are almost nonsentient Undead, except for the bosses and NPCs]].
* PlayingWithFire: Sorcerers
* PurelyAestheticGender: Some aversions: NPC H.L. at the Outlaw Camp doesn't do business with women, and only women can taunt one of the vampire bosses to show up.
* RainbowPimpGear: This very trope was mentioned on the Tibia [[http://forum.tibia.com/forum/?action=thread&postid=28084609#post28084609 forums]]. The game itself suffers from this kind of gear as well, just take a look at the so-called [[http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/Blocking_Set blocking set]].
* RecycledInSpace: Nearly all the cold climate creatures are new versions of several of the older creatures. Can you say frost dragon?
* SecretCircleOfSecrets: Azerus and his minions in Yalahar all dress up in face concealing robes and masks and attempts to summon an entity from the void.
* ShockAndAwe: Sorcerers
* SummoningRitual: What beforementioned Azerus and cultists are doing.
* SuperSpeed: A small speed increase is added upon every level up. Combining naturally high speed with speed-boosting items and spells can turn a high-leveled player into nothing but a blur across the screen.
* SuperStrength: All vocations can use some practical, but rare, potions to boost their skills.
* TechnicolorFire: There are purple and blue flames in the pyramid theme area. Also, players on non-pvp worlds can shoot pale yellow fire that only causes harm to non-summoned creatures.
* TheNecrocracy: Ankrahmun is a type IV as the kingdom is ruled by an undead Pharao. The subjects are for the most part alive and the country is not a warfaring one.
* TwentyBearAsses: Ever since outfit addons were introduced in 2006, The in-game economy is largely dependent on this.
