As you may know, Tibia Swap is a game based on Tibia server. If you've heard of it but never really gotten around to it, your chance is now. A game that rescues a retro era of RPGs for computers, here the important thing is not the graphics or high technology, but the fun.

In this guide you will learn how to take your first steps and understand the main mechanics and check out some tips to keep evolving more and more in Tibia Swap.

So let's get it started?!

### Tibia Swap: Objectives of the game

Tibia Swap has similar goals to any online role-playing game. You create a character, improve your skills, collect items and battle to evolve and become stronger and stronger. You can also connect with friends and make friends in the game environment. The objective of Tibia is to have fun, evolve your character to the maximum and explore the game world for as long as you want, you can also participate the weekly pools and earn some money.

### First Steps

Starting in Tibia is not easy, especially if you have never played Tibia before. But in this text I hope to guide you to an easier journey. You must first know the basic mechanics of the game, below I will present some important aspects.

   At the beginning you always start on a beginners map the city of **Rookgaard**. The first steps you should take is to look for places that sell equipment. Say "hi" near an NPC and then "offer", if

he sells something he will tell you. You can also type the item's name or part of the name, eg "shield" to find out which shield it sells. Also note if the store has objects available, use the “Look” command to know the name of the item.

Collect money by killing weak monsters like rabbits and mice. Rabbits take longer to kill as they only run away from you. You can find them in the greenish part of the map, normally they are in the corners. Rats can be found easily in city sewers, approach one, right click and choose “Use” to enter a sewer. **Be careful not to enter a sewer with too many monsters!**

In the upper right corner of the newbie town center, there is an npc called Obi who sells weapons and items, I recommend you buy the sword “Sabre” and shield “Wooden shield” at first levels so you can handle rats and cave rats easily. Since the first weapon you'll have is a weak Club I recomend you to kill some Rabbits or Sheeps and sell the meat/ham to npc Willie.(Here)

List of items that you can buy at the beginning with lower cost and that are useful:

When you get to buy some equipaments, you'll be able to hunt monsters like Rats, Cave rats, Spiders, Bugs and Wolves ultill you reach level 8 and leave the small Isle. You can also do quests, it will help you to get better equipaments and is always a good choice Katana Quest or Cooper Shield Quest if you intend to be a **Rooker/Rookstayer**, Well, heres a list with the most popular and easier quests you can do to improve your equipaments.

* **Studded Legs Quest** - Your need to get a Honey Flower and exchange it for a Studded Legs with NPC Lee'Delle (Premium account only).

\***Combat Knife Quest** – You access it in the sewer and when you complete it you will get the Combat Knife.

* **Doublet Quest** – A little above the place where NPC Tom is, enter the barn, go down the ladder and use the command "Use" on a rectangle on the floor. (The image below shows the way).

* **Goblin Temple Quest** – For this quest, you must to have a Shovel and a Rope, the Quest is in a Troll Premium cave on the map.
* **Rapier Quest** –Quest done in the main sewer of the city and you get the Rapier sword.
* **Dragon Corpse Quest** – Also known as Cooper Shield Quest, for this Quest you need to have food, Rope, Shovel, Scythe and 2-4 Life Fluids which can be bought from npc Hyacinth, the quest islocated at the Bear Cave in the eastern region of Rookgaard.
* **Bear Room Quest** – Bear Room Quest or Chain Armor quest, is one of the main quests in the game for beginners. For this quest, you will need a Rope and a Pick because the key that opens the quest room is in a hidden place, **an special tip:** you can find the Small Axe item in several places on the island of Rookgaard this item in particular can be exchanged for a pick with Npc Al Dee. The quest is located in an abandoned building in the northern part of Rookgaard.
* **Minotaur Hell Quest** – One of the most challenging Quests in Rookgaard, it is recommended to go with more players as there are many monsters in one place to face. This is also know the famous Carlin Sword Quest. **Note:** be aware, in this dungeon happens raids of the boss Apprentice Sheng.
* **Katana Quest** –This is the Tomb Quest in the northwest part of town, you will need a Shovel, Rope, Life Fluids, 2 Antidote Runes or 3 Life Fluids to survive the poisoning and food to help with recovery.

## Special Tip

If you are new in Tibia Swap and got no money or friends in mainland, you'll prolly need to get some good equips at the start. The npc Lily, in Rookgaard, is the only npc in the whole game which sells Atidote Runes. My advice for you beginners, is to buy 1-2 Antidote Runes before you leave Rookgaard, so you can do quests like Scale Armor Quest and Dead Archer Quest right when you get Thais.
