Diablo 3 Shepherd’s Staff: Farming, Recipe and Materials

Patrick Freese 22. January 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

How to farm the Shepherd’s Staff in Diablo 3 and what materials you need for the recipe, we will show you here.

Update, January 27, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

What is this item? The Shepherd’s Staff is usually used to open the Rainbow level. There you can unlock a portrait frame among other things.

Since Season 28 of Diablo 3, you need the Shepherd’s Staff for the Altar of Rites. In this brief guide, we’ll show you how to get the item.

How to unlock the Shepherd’s Staff

What you need to do: To obtain the Shepherd’s Staff, you must meet a few prerequisites. We will show you here in the guide the individual steps in writing and below in a gallery. This way, you can be sure you’re searching in the right location.

Get a Black Mushroom. You can find it in Act 1 in the Cathedral (Level 1). Look for a room located as an inner corner of two corridors. The black mushroom will be clearly visible growing on the ground. Keep in mind that the mushroom is quite rare, and you may need to start several new games for it.
Next, you need Leoric’s Shinbone. You can find it in Leoric’s Manor (Courtyard of Leoric’s Manor). Enter the manor, and right in the first corridor, there are two rooms. Look for a fireplace (in our case, it only spawned in the right room). If you find wood that you can interact with, the shinbone will spawn there.
Now let’s buy Wirt’s Bell. To do this, travel to Act 1 into the Hidden Camp. There you will meet the merchant Krümelchen, who will sell you the item Wirt’s Bell for 100,000 gold under “Others”.
Next, we grab the Rainbow Water. For this, you need to use the waypoint for the Dahlgur Oasis in Act 2. Here, you must hope to find a merchant at the southern end of the map who can spawn randomly. He will be attacked by enemies. If you help him, he will open a dungeon next to him (it works best if you have the bounty for this mysterious cave in Act 2). In the cave, you might find a mysterious chest, where you can loot the Rainbow Water.
The last item is the Chiltar Stone. To get this, travel to Act 3 to the Bridge of Korsikk. The item can drop inside the Caves of Frost. On the map, either the Caves of Frost or the Ice Strike Caves can spawn. If you see the Ice Strike Caves, you can reset the game. The NPC Chiltara, which you find on Level 2 in the Caves of Frost, can drop the Chiltar Stone. However, the chances are not very high.
Now we obtain the recipe Plan: Shepherd’s Staff. You can find it in Act 4 at the Silver Tower. There you must defeat Izual, and he will drop the recipe for the Shepherd’s Staff with luck.
Once you have everything together, go to the blacksmith with the recipe and teach it to him. Then you can craft the staff with the materials you’ve found.

In our gallery, we show you the item spawns in the game:

Black Mushroom:

Leoric’s Shinbone:

Wirt’s Bell:

Rainbow Water:

Chiltar Stone:

Plan: Shepherd’s Staff:

Keep in mind that you will likely need to grind a lot for the materials. Many of the spawns are very rare and require numerous runs to spawn. Expect to invest a lot of time here.

Players in Pokémon TCG Pocket abandon new event before it even started

Jasmin Beverungen 22. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon TCG Pocket a PvP event is returning that has driven many players to despair. This time, they don’t want to stress themselves and just want to grab the free items.

What kind of event is this? Just like with Unbeatable Genes, there is now a PvP event for Mysterious Island where players must achieve multiple wins in a row against other trainers. This means that players cannot lose, otherwise, the counter resets to 0.

To receive the highest gold emblem as a reward, collectors must achieve 5 wins in a row. This is difficult for many players, as there is always a deck combination that their own does poorly against. Therefore, many have already given up before even starting the first match.

However, some fans still see something positive about the event. They are not even trying to win, but have their eyes on a specific item.

With Celebi-ex, you could win many matches in PvP mode:

Players capitulate at the event, only collect free items

Why does it still make sense to participate in the event? In the Reddit forum, some fans write that they only participate in the event to grab the pack hourglasses. These are items that reduce the waiting time until the next pack can be opened.

The pack hourglasses are given as a reward when participating in PvP battles during the event period. This way, players can at least collect some pack hourglasses, even if they never win. Some users hope they can at least help others get the emblems.

The user DefinitelyNotAShark is trying to make it at least a mini-game for his amusement. He has a deck only with Chatot, which draws a card from his own deck for each card in the opponent’s hand. He is trying to empty his deck before the opponent can defeat him.

How should I approach the event the best way? If you don’t want to stress yourself with the event, it is completely sufficient to play the 10 matches to get all the free hourglasses. However, it can also help not to drive yourself crazy in the first days of the event.

The PvP event runs until January 27, 2025. Towards the end of the event, many players may have already received their emblem and therefore withdraw from the mode. This could make it easier to get one of the emblems.

Our tier list could also help you put together a strong deck for the PvP mode. This way, you have the best chances of achieving several wins in a row. Refer to the strongest decks, recreate them yourself, or think of good counters for them: Pokémon TCG Pocket: Tier List of the best Meta Decks

Tolkien himself confirmed who the true hero in The Lord of the Rings is: It is neither Gandalf nor Frodo

Christoph Waldboth 21. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Lord of the Rings tells an epic story that desperately needs brave heroes. Whether in the books or in the movies – Tolkien himself knew who the bravest and most important hero in Middle-earth is.

What would The Lord of the Rings be without the many heroic characters who, despite many hopeless situations, ultimately save the day? When one thinks of Middle-earth, the obvious names probably come to mind first.

Frodo, who carries the Ring from the Shire to Mordor and suffers under its weight. Aragorn, who rises to become king and leads entire armies into battle. Or Gandalf, the powerful wizard who leads the Fellowship and has his fingers in every pie in Middle-earth.

However, according to the writer and Middle-earth creator J.R.R. Tolkien, another character is the true hero.

Start video

Epic Trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship

Autoplay

Size isn’t everything after all

Who is the true hero? Those who have been paying attention to The Lord of the Rings might already have an idea. Tolkien particularly highlights Frodo’s friend Samwise “Sam” Gamgee among all the characters he created.

The hobbit stumbles rather reluctantly into the grand adventure and travels with Frodo to Rivendell, and from there to Mordor – a bad, but perhaps not the worst place in Middle-earth. When the Fellowship is separated, the two hobbits are left to fend for themselves.

Sam stands by Frodo loyally and helps him as best as he can. In dire situations, he even saves his life, for example in the situation with the spider Shelob. When Frodo falters, Sam also encourages him with strong words. In the end, he even carries him by hand to the Fire of Mount Doom, where the One Ring is to be destroyed.

In short: whether Frodo would have succeeded in his mission without Sam by his side is questionable. Tolkien knew that as well.

In the author’s letters, which can be read online at bibliothecaveneficae.com, he writes about Sam: ‘Sam Gamgee from my story is a highly heroic figure who is now loved by many readers, even though he comes from the countryside.’

„The times have changed“: Gimli could return to Lord of the Rings, but the actor has an important condition

von Christoph Waldboth

Where did the idea for Sam come from? The interesting thing is that Tolkien did not simply invent Sam. He was inspired by his own dramatic experiences as an officer in World War I. At that time, he had a so-called officer’s batman by his side.

So an assistant who supported his superior even in dangerous situations and showed great courage. And that, despite receiving little recognition for it.

Similarly, Sam serves his master loyally but does not appear as a great, shining hero in the end. However, Tolkien knew how important such a companion can be and processed his own experiences into the character.

The fans of The Lord of the Rings have recognized that Sam is incredibly strong – even though he is just a hobbit from the Shire. Also interesting is that the films left out a 5th hobbit who appears in the books: There is actually a significant 5th hobbit in the universe of The Lord of the Rings, but he does not appear in the films

A new horror game with dinos is not coming to PC because the developers fear a certain type of mods

Christoph Waldboth 21. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

A new game with dinosaurs is on the horizon. However, it is set to be released only for PS5, not for PC. The reason for this, as the developers announced, is due to mods, and not just any mods.

What kind of game is it? We are talking about Code Violet, which may be particularly interesting for fans of Dino Crisis. It is a survival horror game in which players take on the role of the protagonist to battle various dinosaurs. It seems that Dino Crisis itself will not receive a sequel any time soon – possibly due to Monster Hunter.

In Code Violet, you find yourself in the future of the 25th century in a world that has rendered Planet Earth uninhabitable. However, a handful of survivors refuse to give up.

Code Violet is set to be released in July 2025 for PS5. Those wondering whether the game will also be available for PC will now be disappointed. The developers have announced that this will not be the case – for a simple reason.

Here you can see the trailer for the game:

Mods and their endless possibilities…

Why is the game not coming to PC? The developers announced on x.com that there will be no PC version because mods exist on that platform. This could allow users to alter the game in ways that the developers do not approve of.

Specifically, they addressed vulgar content in their post. The studio TeamKill Media does not want their protagonist or other characters from Code Violet to be inappropriately altered through mods.

The developers further explain:

We greatly value our voice actors and actresses as well as our artistic vision for the game and its story, and we refuse to let this be undermined in any way by sexual mods. Making our art ridiculous and potentially harming the reputation of our voice actors and actresses is not worth the extra money we could earn.
TeamKill Media via x.com

The stance is quite clear. Code Violet will not be available on PC. However, the developers felt compelled in a follow-up post on x.com to further clarify their position.

They emphasize that they have nothing against PC gamers in general. The team is also not against modders and their projects in general. However, they are “100%” against pornographic mods.

What do the players say? The statement has met with some criticism on x.com from users. Not everyone can understand the studio’s position on this issue – including other developers:

“If someone buys my game, they can do whatever they want with it,” believes Ian Fisch, an indie developer who oversees the game Kingmakers.
“This is a pretty brilliant marketing strategy to completely turn people away from your game,” writes user GmanLives.
“Looks like you’re allergic to money,” says Kurotesuta.
“Instead of being afraid of mods, you should welcome the community that helps keep games alive long after their release – BG3 is a great example of this,” says Angel Stewart.

Particularly the last comment highlights that mods can be something very positive for many games. Older titles like Skyrim, for example, are still alive today because they are kept alive by community mods.

It seems that nothing will change the decision of the Code Violet development team. What do you think of the decision? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Meanwhile, fans of Dino Crisis have been waiting for news and a sequel for years. There was even brief hope in the meantime, but it was in vain: Capcom is finally bringing another dino game for PS4, PS5 after 19 years – But it’s the wrong one

Developer behind successful hit on Steam admits that his game has no story – still being made into a film

Niko Hernes 21. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In 2022, Vampire Survivors on Steam was a gigantic success. After that, countless similar games of the genre sprang up. There isn’t much story in these games. However, the developer has now confirmed that a movie based on the game is in the works, despite claiming that his game has no story.

What is Vampire Survivors? In 2022, solo developer poncle released the game Vampire Survivors. The game quickly celebrated a massive success. It was even the top release of 2022 on Steam (via SteamDB).

Vampire Survivors visually resembles old Castlevania games but has little to do with them in terms of gameplay. You control a character on a map. There is no active attacking, but with items and passive modifiers, you build an attack automation to survive as long as possible.

Meanwhile, the game has received several DLCs and crossovers. However, that was apparently only the beginning. As the developer confirmed in a post, the game is getting a live-action film, even though the developer admits that his game actually has no story.

Please remember that the game has no plot

What does the developer say? In a post on Steam, the developer discussed the future of Vampire Survivors. Under the section TV Show and other media, he talked about a live-action film that is currently in the works. He mentioned that it took some time because they needed to find the right partner:

As mentioned last year, we chose to wait until we found partners who felt right, especially since it requires good ideas, creativity, and the necessary knowledge about the game to make Vampire Survivors into something that is not a video game – a very difficult trio to get 100% right. Please remember that the game has no plot.

He further adds that the lack of story in the game is particularly exciting for the live-action adaptation. In the post, he explains that he is working with the company Story Kitchen.

They are well-versed in video game adaptations. On their official website, you can see which projects they have been involved in. This includes the Sonic trilogy with Jim Carrey, which has been extremely successful.

Additionally, he announces that there will be more cross-media projects related to Vampire Survivors. More information about this will follow throughout the year.

After 545,000 support requests, the developers of Path of Exile 2 apologize

Christoph Waldboth 21. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Path of Exile 2 does not come without problems. Many players who seek help from support, however, receive no or only a very late response. What is behind this?

What problems are there? Since the early access launch of Path of Exile 2 on December 6, 2024, the game has received a lot of praise. It is already said to be an incredibly complex representative of the genre and invites experimenting with builds.

However, there are still technical issues and other requests that the community passes on to the developers. This usually happens in the form of support requests that the studio Grinding Gear Games receives via email.

Many players, however, receive no or only a very late response to their concerns. The developers have now explained why this is the case and what a solution looks like.

Grinding Gear Games apologizes

What do the developers say? The team was likely surprised by the enormous rush on the servers of Path of Exile 2. Along with this, they internally did not expect the high number of support requests.

Specifically, the developers write in an update on Steam that since November 22, 2024, around 545,000 email inquiries have been received. The support team simply cannot keep up, for which they already apologized a few weeks ago.

Now follows the next apology, as they have been diligently working on addressing this, but still have not been able to respond to all inquiries.

“We truly appreciate everyone’s patience while the support team works hard to process incoming inquiries and can assure you that we are increasing the number of support staff to ensure faster responses in the future. You deserve better customer service than we have been able to offer despite our team’s efforts, and we are sorry for that.”
Grinding Gear Games via Steam

At least the number of open emails has been reduced to 75,000. So there is still a lot of work ahead of the team, but at least one can speak of an improvement.

To further alleviate the situation, Grinding Gear Games asks not to send follow-up emails. You simply have to be patient because every additional email automatically puts you back at the end of the queue.

What the developers also offer: Those who hold New Zealand or Australian citizenship can quickly send an application for the support team to the developers and help out in the future. However, you would have to work in the office in New Zealand for this.

This way, Grinding Gear Games wants to improve the current situation even further and ensure that support inquiries can be answered quickly in the future.

Diablo 4: All New Uniques in Season 7 with Effects

Nicole Wakulczyk 21. January 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

In Season 7, new Uniques are returning for the six classes in Diablo 4. Here you will learn which ones are available and what the unique items can do, here on MeinMMO.

Season 7 in Diablo 4 starts on January 21 and brings new content to the game:

The powers of the witch’s magic essentially represent the mechanics in Season 7. You learn witchcraft by collecting seasonal reputation by completing corresponding tasks for the “Whispering Tree”.
The occult gems are new, seasonal, socketable items that you get from the “Whispering Tree”.
In the new armory, you can save, name, and switch your builds. This is a feature that players have been demanding since the release of Diablo 4.

On top of that, new Uniques will also make their way into the game, which certain classes can equip in Diablo 4. We list the new Uniques that are known so far from the patch notes for Season 7 along with their effects below. Currently, 8 new Uniques are mentioned. Apparently, no new Mythics are being added.

Since the season has not yet started and this is pre-release information, the items may still change. If that happens, we will update the article accordingly.

Riot changes how you get free skins in LoL, even alienates players who have been around for 13 years

Niko Hernes 21. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

As a Free2Play game, League of Legends primarily finances itself through cosmetic content like skins. With every patch, a handful of new skins appear that can be purchased or obtained from chests. However, with the new season, Riot has removed a way to receive free chests.

What has changed? With the first season of 2025 in LoL, Riot has made some changes in and outside of the game. In the course of the new season structure, they also changed how battle passes work.

There are now fewer orbs and points with which you can unlock items. However, you do receive fixed skins that fit thematically with the current season. One of them is even free. In this context, Riot has also made a change to the mastery system.

Previously, you could unlock chests by reaching a certain number of ranks in games with specific champions. Now, you only receive “experience points” in the battle pass for that.

This is being criticized by many players, who are currently expressing their frustrations about not being able to receive free chests anymore.

Players are frustrated, even considering boycotting LoL

What do players criticize? In a recent Reddit post, a player shared his collection of chests that he has gathered over the year 2024. He writes in the headline: I don’t want to say goodbye. He even claims that the removal of free chests is the worst decision in the history of the game.

Under the post, which has almost 1700 upvotes and over 230 comments, players are gathering who share the same opinion. They are even calling for a community boycott of the game.

User SPINESnSPORES (via Reddit) writes: We should all together not make any purchases for a whole month with other servers
Komandarm_Knuckles (via Reddit) suggests to people to play other games: Jump into Helldivers, or into another game […] I love League, but this is why I don’t want to play the game right now.
Bobsafudge (via Reddit) claims to have been playing LoL for almost 13 years and criticizes the current development: As someone who started in Season 2, it hurts to see how this game has become an absolute cash grab.

Only a few users express themselves less dramatically. ne0tas responds to Bobsafudge (via Reddit) and states that there used to be no reward system at all. Other users criticize that such a boycott wouldn’t work anyway or that many people simply do not care about it.

Is it really that bad? The situation is probably not that dramatic. Before the loot system was added, there were very few ways to obtain skins for free. For example, you had to subscribe to Riot channels. Even years ago, the Hextech chests were regularly criticized, as a Reddit thread from 2020 shows.

In the current battle pass, you can unlock a fixed skin without spending money. However, the opportunities to obtain free skins have indeed decreased significantly, as you can no longer obtain chests without real money. You now have to take the free skins that Riot offers you.

Will Riot change anything about the new system? So far, Riot has not revealed any plans to revise the new system. Even with the expensive Ahri and Jinx skins, there was a significant outcry within the community, but it did not lead to anything. However, Riot has already commented on the change in how champions can be unlocked: Change in LoL makes it harder to unlock new champions – Riot says “Should not become harder”

Baldur’s Gate 3: Karlach Romance Guide – How to find and charm the hot tiefling girlfriend

Mary Marx 21. January 2025 Reading time 5 minutes

In Baldur’s Gate 3, one companion is particularly popular. We explain how you can win the attractive tiefling barbarian Karlach from Act 1 to Act 3.

Update, January 21, 2025: We have reviewed the guide, added images, and expanded it with Act 3. We also take a closer look at the scenes with Karlach and explain how to finish the game as partners.

It may be due to her appearance, her dominant and charming nature, or the fact that tieflings are generally among the most attractive races of the Forgotten Realms. The tiefling woman Karlach causes palpitations and weak knees in the Baldur’s Gate 3 community (and in the editorial office).

If you are thinking, “Wait a minute, I haven’t met her yet?” you don’t need to panic. Karlach is quite well hidden and won’t just show up in your camp. We explain how to find her and win her over.

Spoiler warning for Act 1 to Act 3! In this guide, we show you which decisions and situations need to happen for you to achieve a shared ending with Karlach.

How to awaken Karlach’s interest in you

To convince Karlach, you first need to talk to her and choose the right dialogue options to improve your relationship. To gain her recognition, you can follow these hints:

Generally perform “heroic” deeds
Show kindness towards children
Express compassion towards tieflings
Prefer to solve problems with violence, as long as it’s not evil or senseless
Stand up for the weaker

Karlach Romance: Act 1 – How to find her

The tiefling barbarian is hiding in Act 1 south of the Stiegstraße, beneath the customs house by the river. There are several ways to start her quest:

Recruit the warlock Wyll. He tells you that he is hunting a devil, and you start a side quest that marks a quest area on the map.
You go to the customs house, where you find paladins of Tyr who are also hunting the devil. Here, you’ll even receive a concrete map marker for Karlach’s location.
You go to Karlach without a quest. However, you have to make a persuasion roll to be able to talk to her calmly.

Depending on which path you choose, you should certainly talk to Karlach civilly instead of attacking her. She tells you that she is not a devil, but merely a tiefling who has been turned into a monster in stories.

She asks you for help to confront the false paladins of Tyr, and she will join your party if you agree. Now you go back to the customs house and clean the floor with the fake paladins.

We recommend saving before the fight. Depending on your level and your dice rolls, the confrontation with Anders and his companions is not easy. We recommend quickly taking out the sorceress in the adjoining room and keeping Anders at a distance with spells.

If you want to find out more about her, you need to question her about her mechanical heart and later bring her to the blacksmith Dammon. Our colleagues at GameStar have written a guide for you on how to find Dammon and complete Karlach’s quest.

If you rescue the tiefling refugees from the druid grove, there is the opportunity to talk to Karlach in the camp during the celebration. There, you can confess that you have mustered the courage to tell her how much you like her. Karlach will be happy and visit you during the night.

As long as you are not unkind during the conversation with the tiefling, you will increasingly please Karlach. It is even possible for a fleeting kiss, although this makes Karlach worry about possibly having burned you.

Only after you have completed the personal quest is an intimate and, above all, physical relationship with Karlach possible. However, since her literally burning heart heats you up quite well too, you should pour water over Karlach beforehand to cool the hot tiefling down.

You can find even more helpful tips in our video:

Karlach Romance: Act 2 – How to become intimate with her

To have sex with her, it’s not enough to cool Karlach down temporarily. The water is not long-lasting enough (and no, you’re not that quick either). You need to continue Karlach’s quest in Act 2, where you will meet Dammon again, who can now permanently help her and her burning heart.

Warning: If you want to visit Dammon, you should go to the Harpers after leaving the Underdark and meet him there. However, this is only possible if he and the tiefling refugees survived Act 1.

After Dammon’s intervention, you can properly hug or kiss Karlach for the first time, one of the most beautiful moments in Karlach’s romance. In another rest scene in Act 2, Karlach will visit you again at night, where (as far as you wish and she agrees) you can have sex with Karlach for the first time. The next morning, you will have the opportunity to tell her that you love her.

Karlach Romance: Act 3 – Shared time in Baldur’s Gate

Act 3 of the game involves the conclusion of Karlach’s personal questline. Once you meet Gortash in Wyrm’s Crossing, she wants revenge for what he has done to her. Remember to have Karlach in your team when you later fight Gortash, as she wants to see his lifeless body.

Despite the revenge, Karlach reacts very emotionally after the victory over the tyrant. His death does not change her life-threatening situation, but she does not want to die. After some time alone, you can find Karlach in the camp and calm her down.

Once you are in the city and the relationship with Karlach has developed far enough, the tiefling will invite you on a date. Order your food and try to learn more about Karlach. If the evening goes well, you will spend a night together at the inn.

How to save Karlach

At the end of the game, there are several fates for Karlach, most of which end fatally for her. With an incurably overheated heart and less and less time, things get urgent. After the finale of the game, she begins to ignite again, after which she says goodbye to you. Here you can follow her wish and let her burn.

However, you can flee with her (also together with Wyll) to Avernus to stay together with her and search for a potential solution for her heart machine. Even during the joint celebration of the epilogue, you will meet the rest of your crew and spend a cozy evening together.

Through our little guide, we have given you some help regarding tiefling love. Karlach seems to yearn for love and closeness since the first encounter, which can quickly lead to a loving and fun romance after overcoming some hurdles.

RPG developer raves about a legendary D&D player who ran away from everyone with an invisible monk

Lydia 21. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Tim Cain, the creator of Fallout, reports on YouTube about a legendary D&D player who outpaced everyone in a competition over 30 years ago with an invisible monk.

What kind of developer is this? The enthusiastic fan is none other than Tim Cain, the creator of the post-apocalyptic role-playing series Fallout.

Even though the setting differs greatly from a medieval-inspired fantasy world, Fallout operates on similar principles as Dungeons and Dragons. Therefore, it is not surprising that the developer has a fondness for the well-known tabletop game.

In a video on his YouTube channel, he now recounts a legendary D&D player who ran away with the competition more than 30 years ago.

The surprise hit Baldur’s Gate 3 is based on the D&D rules and has sparked a renewed hype around the tabletop RPG. The cover image features a monk from Baldur’s Gate 3.

Developer reports on D&D competition from the 90s

What kind of hero was that? Cain talks about the winner of a D&D competition he heard about in 1993 at a gaming convention in California. Participants of the “1 Million XP Dungeon” received 1 million experience points to create a character and guide it through a complex dungeon.

The experience points could either be used for level-ups or converted 1:1 into gold to purchase magical items. As such, some players were able to reach a high level, while others relied more on items, with most, according to Cain, landing somewhere between these extremes.

The participants played in groups of 3 to 5 players with a dungeon master. Whoever reached the dungeon’s goal first among all players was supposed to win the competition.

An invisible monk ran through the dungeon

This is how the player proceeded: As Cain recalls, the winner chose a human monk, whom he brought to level 11 with 700,000 XP – or 700,001 XP. According to the First Edition rules at the time, the monk would have had a speed value of 25 – faster than a horse and almost twice as fast as all other characters, even under the influence of Haste.

In addition to his speed, the monk could draw upon useful resistances and immunities and had the ability to take no damage with a successful saving throw and only half damage with a failed throw.

The remaining points were used by the player to acquire 3 magical items: A Cloak of Protection, which gave him +5 on the saving throw, further boosted by a Scarab of Protection. Crucial to the strategy was a Ring of Air Elemental Command, which made the hero invisible and allowed him to fly.

Cain reports: When the DM gave the signal, the monk made himself invisible and simply ran off. With his extreme speed as well as the ability to fly over traps and remain hidden from opponents, the player was presumably unstoppable.

According to the developer’s account, he reached the goal even before most players had properly started. The monk’s victory was so pronounced that the organizers changed the rules for future competitions, requiring players to collaborate on some of the puzzles.

Here you can listen to Cain’s version of the events:

However, for hardcore Souls veterans, The First Berserker: Khazan may be too lenient. You earn experience points not only for defeating enemies but also simply for fighting. According to a player’s report, bosses also drop items even if they take you down.

The game rewards players for trying. This could make The First Berserker: Khazan a good entry point for Souls newcomers. Experienced players, however, are hoping for a mode with a tougher difficulty.

EA FC 25: TOTY election for 12th man is available – Here’s how to choose the last Team of the Year

Thomas Dummer 21. January 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

In EA FC 25 you can vote for the 12th Team of the Year (TOTY). However, the voting process is different from the regular TOTY voting. On MeinMMO, you will learn how to vote for the 12th man and which players are among the candidates.

What is the 12th man in the TOTY? The vote for the 12th man grants one additional player from the candidates of the men’s and women’s TOTY a spot in the Team of the Year in FC 25. You can choose between 3 candidates for the 12th man or the 12th woman.

Since Monday evening (January 20), you can vote for the 12th man.

How can you vote for the 12th man in the TOTY? To participate in the vote for the 12th man in the TOTY, you must log in to Ultimate Team. When you select the shop from the menu, you will have two player selections with 3 loan items each (3 men and 3 women) for one game available.

The loan items represent the candidates in the voting for the 12th man/12th woman. The player you choose will receive your vote for the election.

Scientists explain why an overly clean home can be harmful

Claudio Niggenkemper 21. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

An excessive urge for cleanliness can disrupt the delicate balance of our microbiome and thus impair our immune system. Researchers emphasize that an almost sterile home can do more harm than good.

The title image is a symbolic image.

What do researchers say? Science agrees: Keeping our homes too clean reduces the diversity of microbes – and that has consequences for our health. According to the Pharmaceutical Journal (via PZ), the microbiome significantly influences our health by regulating the immune system and affecting the risk for certain diseases.

A recent study also shows: Many of the microbes that live in our households protect our immune system and are important for our health (via nature). Their absence is associated with an increased risk for allergies, asthma, and other autoimmune diseases.

Especially new and clean is the Switch 2:

What are microbiomes anyway? The microbiome includes all microorganisms that, for example, inhabit our body. These microbes perform important tasks, such as supporting the immune system, producing vitamins, and protecting against pathogens. Each person’s microbiome is individually composed and varies from person to person (via Springer).

It mainly consists of bacteria, outnumbering human body cells. The majority of these bacteria are found in the gastrointestinal tract. Many of them perform essential functions for humans, such as the production of vitamins or protection against pathogens (via DZIF). Additionally, there are also microbes in our environment, such as in our homes, that interact with us and affect our immune system.

A compromised microbiome is rather bad

Why does the microbiome affect our immune system? A diverse microbiome trains our immune system by developing immune tolerance towards beneficial microbes while fighting harmful pathogens. A lack of this diversity can lead to dysregulation of the immune system, increasing the risk for allergies and autoimmune diseases.

Excessive cleaning with antimicrobial products can damage the microbiome and weaken the immune system. Especially in childhood, excessive cleanliness can prevent the immune system from being ‘trained’ through contact with harmless microbes.

Our expertise in the editorial team lies in gaming and not in health. If you have health problems, please contact your trusted doctor. You can find extensive health tips at the Federal Ministry of Health (via bundesgesundheitsministerium.de) or in a conversation with your personal family doctor.

Clean, sterile or disinfected – Where’s the difference? The terms “sterile”, “clean” and “disinfected” are often equated but describe different hygiene states (via Steriblog):

Clean means removing dirt without specifically eliminating germs.
Disinfected describes the reduction of harmful microorganisms.
Sterile, on the other hand, means complete freedom from germs, as is only required in medical fields.

Even though it may sound good, a sterile living environment would likely harm one’s own immune system and overall health because it ultimately jeopardizes the beneficial microbiome. Therefore, a living environment that is as sterile or disinfected as possible is not sensible.

Balance is essential

How much is enough? This does not mean we should forgo hygiene, as without regular cleaning, harmful germs like mold or bacteria from food can accumulate. The COVID-19 pandemic has also shown how essential hygiene routines are to prevent the spread of diseases. Regular handwashing and cleaning surfaces remain important measures to protect against infections.

As recommended by NDR (via NDR), aggressive disinfectants should only be used where truly necessary, such as in the toilet or after preparing raw meat. For everyday use, mild cleaning agents like soapy water or vinegar are sufficient. Regular airing also helps create a healthy indoor climate and prevents mold growth.

Not only excessive cleanliness but also sitting in front of the screen for hours can cause health issues. You can read about it here: 27-year-old reports health problems after 10 years on Twitch due to too much gaming

ChatGPT Plus: 7 Benefits of Paying 22 Euros for OpenAI’s AI

Benedikt Schlotmann 21. January 2025 Reading time 5 minutes

You can use ChatGPT for free, but there is also a paid Plus model. MeinMMO presents the advantages of a subscription and explains what you can gain from it.

[toc]

What kind of subscription is this? With ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI has introduced a subscription model for its AI. It includes additional features and comfort features designed to make your everyday experience with ChatGPT easier.

However, it is important to note: You can continue to use ChatGPT for free without a subscription. There is no obligation to subscribe.

What does ChatGPT Plus cost? Currently, you pay $23.80 per month for ChatGPT. This is roughly around 22 euros. The only payment method accepted by ChatGPT is a credit card. You currently have no other options (as of: March 2024).

ChatGPT Plus: All advantages at a glance:

Extensive GPT-4o access
High stability
Faster responses
Internet access
Better responses in German
Installation of plugins
Ability to switch GPT versions
Is ChatGPT Plus worth it for me?

The article was first published in May 2023. On January 21, 2025, we updated our article and added another advantage to the article. Now you can find 7 advantages in the article. We also adjusted a list below. In addition, we adapted some advantages to the new model 4.o and added missing information.

Last updates: 01/21/25, 04/06/24, 05/31/23

1. Extensive GPT-4o access

The perhaps greatest advantage of ChatGPT Plus is access to GPT-4o. Free users can also access GPT-4, but the usage is highly restricted: Once your time runs out, you will be downgraded to GPT-3.5.

What advantages does GPT-4o have over 3.5?

Multimodal reasoning and generation: GPT-4o integrates text, speech, and images into a single model, allowing it to process and respond to a combination of data types. The model can understand audio, images, and text at the same speed. It can also generate responses via audio, images, and text.
Language and audio processing: GPT-4o has advanced capabilities for processing over 50 different languages.
Sentiment analysis: The model understands the sentiment of users through different modalities of text, audio, and video.
Language nuance: GPT-4o can generate language with emotional nuances. This makes it an effective tool for applications that require sensitive and nuanced communication.
Image understanding: The model can analyze images and videos, allowing users to upload visual content that GPT-4o can understand, explain, and analyze.
Data analysis. With its image processing and reasoning abilities, users can analyze data contained in data tables. GPT-4o can also create data charts based on an analysis or a prompt.
File uploads: GPT-4o supports file uploads, allowing users to analyze specific data for analysis.
Memory and contextual knowledge: GPT-4o can remember previous interactions and maintain context over longer conversations.

Particularly the significantly broader approach to language and audio processing or even memory are important developments if you want to use AI regularly and actively. This makes the AI’s responses feel much more natural and less artificial than with GPT-3.5.

2. High stability

Free users know the problem: As soon as many people want to use ChatGPT, the service collapses. Then the servers are unreachable, or the AI’s responses feel like they come hours later.

Plus subscribers have the advantage that they can use ChatGPT almost continuously. The service is set up to prioritize Plus subscribers. Therefore, you can ask the AI your questions even during peak times and receive your answers quickly.

3. Faster responses

The Plus version of GPT-4o is not only faster but also offers better performance. A problem with the free version is that it often becomes unresponsive, and you need to wait for a new response. Or the chatbot struggles with connection problems when there’s a lot going on. With ChatGPT Plus, such outages and pauses are significantly shorter.

If you rely on ChatGPT for work, you can save a lot of time.

4. Internet access

The free version of ChatGPT is trained with data so it can respond to your questions. The latest datasets are from September 2021: newer information is therefore not available to the AI. A well-known tech YouTuber discovered this when he, together with the AI, built a gaming PC for 1,500 euros.

The Plus version has the advantage that you can use the所谓的 browsing mode with the GPT-4 model. This way, you can also access the internet with the AI and use more current data, providing the AI with links or digital content to process.

5. Better responses in German

GPT-3.5 was mainly trained with English datasets, but can easily respond to German inquiries as well. The subsequent model, GPT-4, has the advantage of being able to respond even more accurately to non-English inputs, including German.

The new model GPT-4o has undergone significant improvements in this regard. Because GPT-4o has advanced capabilities for processing more than 50 different languages. Furthermore, it also includes real-time translation functionality.

If you are chatting with the AI in German, the GPT-4 model is even better at recognizing linguistic nuances or cultural aspects.

How to set ChatGPT to German or what to consider can be found in the following article:

Fan shows: Companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 would rather be killed than disappointed

6. Installation of plugins

With the subscription model, you have the ability to integrate what are called plugins into ChatGPT. Plugins are small third-party extensions that you can incorporate into the AI. This way, you can access additional functionalities.

In the plugin store, you can currently choose from around 100 extensions and install them. These show you some additional prompts, commands that you can give the AI. However, you can also use the AI completely without plugins.

	ChatGPT	ChatGPT Plus
Language model	GPT-4o and GPT-3.5	GPT-4, GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini
Access and speed	Slow and many pauses with many accesses	Prioritized and few pauses with responses
Basic functions	Limited access to data analysis, image processing, and online search	Full access to data analysis, image processing, and online search
Internet access	No	Yes, GPT-4 model with browsing mode and internet access
Languages	English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese	English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese
Addons	No	Yes, via the GPT store
Architecture and datasets	12-layer model with 117 million parameters	24-layer model with 1.5 billion parameters
Price	Free	$23.80 per month (approx. 22 euros)

ChatGPT vs ChatGPT Plus in comparison

7. Ability to switch between different models

In the free version of Chat-GPT, you can use GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini. However, the GPT-4o model can only be used to a limited extent and is not available to you in full. If you run out of free queries, you will automatically be downgraded to GPT-GPT-3.5.

In the paid version, you can switch between GPT-4, GPT-4o, and GPT-4o mini. If you have simple, less complex questions, you can save your question quota available with GPT-4o by switching to GPT-4 or GPT-4o mini.

Is ChatGPT Plus worth it for me?

Reasons for ChatGPT Plus:

Additional processing capabilities: GPT-4 is better and more comprehensive than GPT-3.5. Moreover, GPT-4 can also analyze images and files.
Current information: The free version of ChatGPT cannot access the internet, while users with ChatGPT Plus can.
Use of custom bots and addons: Access to the GPT store and ChatGPT plugins is limited to Plus subscribers. In the store, you’ll also find specialized bots that you can use.
More accurate and precise answers: GPT-4 is significantly more modern than the old model 3.5. With Plus, you get more accurate and concrete answers. Additionally, you gain full access to all features of GPT-4o.
Dependence on ChatGPT for work: You need ChatGPT for your job or depend on quick answers and reactions.

Reasons against ChatGPT Plus:

Basic functions are sufficient: You find the normal functions sufficient and do not need addons or the complete capabilities of GPT-4o.
Simple inquiries: If you only want to ask simple questions, access to GPT-4o mini is usually sufficient.
Costs: You want to use ChatGPT for free and avoid the costs of around 20 euros or simply don’t have a credit card at hand.
Pure curiosity: You just want to try ChatGPT and are fine with outdated datasets.

Not interested in ChatGPT? Besides ChatGPT, there are already a number of AI alternatives if you would prefer to try other projects. MeinMMO introduces you to the most interesting, free alternatives in detail with pros and cons: ChatGPT: 6 free alternatives to the successful chatbot from OpenAI

Baldur’s Gate 3: The 10 Best Mods for Your Run

Fabienne Kissel 21. January 2025 Reading time 8 minutes

For Baldur’s Gate 3, there are numerous mods available that allow you to customize the game to your liking. MeinMMO shows you the 10 best mods you should know about, as well as important tools to easily install mods.

Update from 15.04.2025: Today, Patch 8 goes live in Baldur’s Gate 3. Most mods will be updated for Patch 8 over the next few days and weeks. If you want to continue using your mods without complications, it is best to stay with Patch 7.

What are mods? In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can integrate functions into the game through mods that are not normally available. Mods change the game and expand it with new options and features that can enrich your gaming experience in Baldur’s Gate 3 in many ways. Since Patch 7 there is also official mod support for PC and consoles, which is intended to ensure better stability. However, not all mods will be available to console players.

Below we explain how you can easily install the mods and present you the 10 best for your Baldur’s Gate 3 run.

[toc]

How to easily install your mods

Before diving into the fascinating world of mods, you should take a look at the following tools to ensure that your mods function smoothly, and that you can install and manage them easily.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Official In-Game Mod Manager

The in-game mod manager provided by Larian can be found on the title screen of the game. It is also accessible to console players. Here you can scroll through available mods and get an overview of already installed mods that you can manage.

Larian has already explained that with the official mod toolkit, comprehensive quest and level designs will not be possible due to technical restrictions. Additionally, there are some limitations regarding the allowed content due to the official ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ license.

If you are playing the game on PC and want to bypass this rule, you must use unofficial mod managers.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Manager

What does the mod manager do? The mod manager handles the implementation of your mods, which significantly simplifies the installation of the mods, as you do not have to install them manually. Additionally, the mod manager gives you a good overview of your installed mods and allows you to determine the order in which the mods should be loaded. This is sometimes necessary for the mods to work correctly. The cool thing is: The mod manager updates itself automatically.

Tip: Before installing a mod, be sure to check the notes in the mod description – there you will find all the important information you need to know.

To the Mod Manager on GitHub

Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Fixer

What do I need the mod fixer for? For most unofficial mods, you need the Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Fixer to make them work. The mod fixer ensures that your mods are compatible with the full version.

To the Mod Fixer on Nexusmods

Achievement Enabler

What does the mod bring me? When you install and activate mods for Baldur’s Gate 3, you usually cannot unlock achievements anymore. However, this modification allows you to gain achievements even when using mods.

For the Achievement Enabler, you also need another tool called Native Mod Loader. This tool ensures that the Achievement Enabler works. Additionally, some mods require this tool to function.

The 10 best mods for Baldur’s Gate 3 at a glance

Fantastical Multiverse – More Races, New Heads and Hairstyles

Kalashtar
Dhampir
Hexblood

What can the mod do? In Baldur’s Gate 3, numerous spells are already available. However, this modification integrates a wide variety of additional spells from first to sixth level, as well as a broad selection of cantrips into your game.

Tav’s Hairsalon – Lots of New Hairstyles

What can the mod do? This modification by Toarie is just what you need if you want to offer your characters in the game more options for hairstyles.

Party Limit Begone

What can the mod do? With this modification from Sildur, you have the option to take all companions into your party at once, allowing you to leave no one behind in the camp. This expands the group limit to a total of 16 members and also allows starting a multiplayer run with up to 8 players.

However, it is highly likely that this mod will disturb the game balance because the game is not designed for so many players. Nevertheless, if you want to play with a larger group of friends, this mod proves to be a good choice.

To Party Limit Begone on Nexusmods

Artificer

What can the mod do? With this mod from Various, you unlock another class from the D&D universe, namely the artificer. This class can merge magic and technology to create, enhance, and utilize items.

The class is particularly versatile, as it can perform well in combat as well as support your group.

These are the subclasses of the artificer, each offering a different playstyle and abilities:

Alchemist: This special subclass specializes in the art of potions and elixirs. You can create healing potions to help yourself and your allies.
Armorer: As an armorer, you are a caster who can alter your playstyle through powerful magical armors. You can switch between two modes, the Guardian mode (defense) and the Infiltration mode (stealth and ranged combat).
Artillerist: This subclass masters the art of ranged combat. This grants you the ability to summon and use magical artillery to deal damage from afar. These artillery pieces can create various effects and offer a wide range of tactical options.
Battle Smith: As a battle smith, you create a magical mechanical companion that assists you in combat. With each level increase, your companion also grows stronger.

NPCs Don’t Run From Summons and Druid Forms

What can the mod do? Do you also know that feeling when you walk through a village or town as a druid in animal form, causing the inhabitants to panic or making your undead scare the residents away? Then this modification by pwyb could be the solution for you. With this mod, NPCs no longer run away from summons and druid forms.

ImprovedUI – Enhanced User Interface

What can the mod do? The modification by Djmr aims to make the game’s user interface clearer and support other mods. For example, annoying story error messages from installed mods will not be displayed in the game, and some small improvements in character creation are added.

The mod also has optional files that can be downloaded. ImprovedUI Assets is worthwhile because this mod adds images from other mods to see, for example, the image of the artificer. Otherwise, a black image will be displayed visually.

Vemperen’s Other Heads

What can the mod do? Vemperen’s Other Heads adds a variety of new heads and faces for character creation, allowing you to customize your characters even more.

The original heads remain available and intact. As usual, you will need the mod fixer, improved UI, and preferably the mod manager for this mod. Additionally, the mod Less Wrinkled Expressions is recommended.

Native Camera Tweaks – Camera Optimization

What can the mod do? On Reddit, some players express their dissatisfaction with the current camera controls of the game. But for those who have difficulties with the camera, taking a look at the modification from Ersh could be worthwhile.

This mod allows a flexible and free camera control, even enabling a third-person experience.

For those who prefer the controls from Dragon Age: Origins, there is even the option to combine this modification with another mod – WASD Character Movement – allowing you to steer your character comfortably with the WASD keys and enjoy familiar controls.

These were our recommendations for the 10 best mods for Baldur’s Gate 3. Surely there are other excellent mods – this is just a subjective opinion. The choice of mods depends on personal preferences, which can vary.

Which mods do you like to use in Baldur’s Gate 3? Or are you more skeptical towards mods? If you are looking for a bit more mod inspiration, you might find it on MeinMMO.

The spiritual successor to Command and Conquer now lets you test its multiplayer for free

Ody 21. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

As EA still refuses to revive the strategy game series Command and Conquer, a developer from Denmark is taking matters into his own hands: Tempest Rising looks like the spiritual successor and already has a free multiplayer demo on Steam.

What kind of game is it? Tempest Rising is a real-time strategy game by developer Slipgate Ironworks and aims to “bring back the golden age of RTS”. This refers to the time around the turn of the millennium, which was marked by strategy games such as Age of Empires, StarCraft, and Command and Conquer.

You can see a trailer for the game here:

Autoplay

What is the game about? Tempest Rising throws you into an alternative timeline where the Cuban Missile Crisis led to the outbreak of a nuclear war. The old superpowers have fallen, and three new ones rise – supported by a powerful substance called Tempest.

Of the three new factions, two will be playable at release: the self-proclaimed peacekeeping force of the Global Defense Forces and the Tempest Dynasty – a coalition that resists the Global Defense Forces by any means necessary.

In 2 campaigns with 11 missions, you will fight for control of the Tempest Vines. This resource represents a powerful, albeit mysterious energy source in the new world.

Unofficial remake of a venerable series

In what way is the game the spiritual successor to C&C? Both in terms of story and visuals, Tempest Rising borrows quite a bit from Command and Conquer:

We are in an alternative timeline of our real world and in a modern setting
There are three unique factions that are supposed to play very differently
We are fighting for a mysterious new resource – instead of Tiberium, it is now called Tempest

By the way, for the soundtrack, Frank Klepacki has been brought on board. And what he has probably worked on, you can guess three times – right, Command and Conquer of course. So Tempest Rising not only looks like its big predecessor, but also sounds like it.

When is the game coming out? Tempest Rising is set to be released on April 24, 2025, on PC for Steam. You can already compete in multiplayer battles with other players there. As part of the Steam Festival of Real-Time Strategy Games, the developers have released a demo.

In the demo, you play as the GDF or Tempest Dynasty in skirmish matches against other players. However, you cannot play the campaign missions or matches against AI. The demo is available until February 3rd.

Tempest Rising steps into big footsteps. Because although the Command and Conquer series has been around for many years, and the last new game is already 15 years old, the games were still among the list of the 15 best strategy games for PC last year.

Chef comments on the accusation that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is woke, pre-sales on Steam are therefore breaking down

Schuhmann 21. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

There is trouble over the role-playing game “Kingdom Come Deliverance 2” (Steam; PS5, Xbox – Release on February 4, 2025). A YouTube video accuses the game of being “woke” now and thereby alienating its customer base. Pre-orders on Steam have decreased. The game’s head, Daniel Vávra, comments on the allegations.

This is the situation: The role-playing game Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is being accused by some influencers and users of being “too woke” now, meaning it corresponds too much to a modern, leftist zeitgeist:

There is a “skippable cutscene” with homoerotic content, and a gay affair is possible for the protagonist Henry anyway.
Part 2 has a significantly more diverse cast than Part 1. The character “Musa,” a nobleman from the Kingdom of Mali, is black.
Woke tendencies have also been observed in the environment of the game.

Therefore, as stated in a YouTube video from January 19, 2025, pre-sales have declined. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was supposed to be a hope for gamers because it stands against the miserable, soft woke mainstream.

Game Head is Considered Close to Gamergate

Why is this topic so sensitive? There was excitement around the first part of Kingdom Come Deliverance in 2018 because it was criticized for being “not diverse” enough. GameStar dealt with the topic back then.

The head of the studio was praised by some influencers for not succumbing to the woke zeitgeist. He received the highest praise from Asmongold for his “strictly cool anti-woke stance” (via YouTube). The developer is “based” – the opposite of woke. A totally correct guy.

Now, however, the very people who praised the head of the studio back then fear that he might now yield and capitulate.

Studio Head Defends Against Allegations

This is what the head says: In a long thread on Twitter, Daniel Vávra explains:

There are no “non-skippable cutscenes” in the game.

No one forced them to use a more diverse cast, and nothing is being done that is forced.

There were already gay characters in the first part.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is a role-playing game: Anyone who wants to have a romantic adventure with a character of the same sex can do so with the protagonist Henry. But they don’t have to. All affairs are optional.

The first part depicted a village, while the second part now depicts a big city, and the population there is simply more diverse.

The character Musa, who is criticized as “too diverse,” came to Bosnia for understandable reasons and is depicted as a “very unusual” character. Musa’s presence is therefore meaningful and not forced.

What about the pre-orders? According to the head of Warhorse Studios, pre-orders have not declined but remained the same. The hype around the game has just slightly diminished, which is completely natural since new games that are on sale have entered the charts. The hype for Monster Hunter has also decreased. That’s all quite normal.

Influencers and Gamers Threaten Love Withdrawal

This is what’s behind it. In the background, it resonates that the developer Vávra showed solidarity with Gamergate in 2018. Therefore, he was praised by many influencers from this direction, who are now reacting in shock to whether everything is still “stable”.

They threaten that if he now also softens and adopts political correctness, they will withdraw their love and then their pre-orders. Recently, exactly those influencers rejoiced over the exit of the head of Dragon Age: The Veilguard: Lady behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard leaves BioWare and some opinion leaders rejoice

Player of a German MMORPG sells his character for the equivalent of about 41,000 euros

Karsten Scholz 21. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A website has published exciting statistics from the year 2024 for Tibia. MeinMMO summarizes the highlights from the German MMORPG for you.

What are these statistics? Even though the name of the website nabbot.xyz might imply otherwise at first glance, it has nothing to do with the sale of bots or cheats. Instead, it helps the Tibia community provide useful features for character tracking, announcements, commands, roles, and more for Discord.

From the nearly 700,000 Tibia characters that registered for NabBot, some very exciting statistics can be drawn for the year 2024:

36 percent of all characters are at level 200 or higher (1.48 percent even at level 1,000 or higher)
The Werhyena is the deadliest opponent in the MMORPG (causing 24,869 player deaths) – simultaneously, no other creature has been killed as often (almost 290 million times)
The Sorcerer Baby Boy is said to have achieved over 19,150 virtual deaths in 2024 (you can find the profile on tibia.com)
The character Dejairzin from the Inabra server gained the most experience in 2024 (85,117,171,200 experience)
The most successful auction (the sale of the level 1,763 character Rayo Legacy) brought in 1,100,000 Tibia Coins – equivalent to over 41,000 euros
Only the top 4 auctions brought in over 400,000 Tibia Coins – in second place is the level 2,436 character Otavio Invencivel, who changed owners for 750,000 coins

Fight against cheaters

What’s happening in Tibia right now? In the last quarter of 2024, the developers from CipSoft intensified their fight against accounts that gain an unfair advantage with unauthorized scripts and macros. The first wave of bans affected nearly 8,000 players, including the then highest-level knight (level 2,453).

Later, the Tibia officials had to admit that they had banned some innocent players – the corresponding deletions were lifted in December – but a new wave of bans followed in early January 2025, which reportedly caught over 1,200 suspected cheaters. For the first time, one of the global top 7 players was among those affected.
