Has Ferumbras returned to his citadel? When is the next double XP weekend? Is your dream knight in the Char Bazaar? The official observer app by CipSoft notifies you of everything that you deem important for your adventures in Tibia - how and when you want it. NEVER MISS A RAID: Always be informed about upcoming and ongoing raids for all of your characters. Define areas you want to track and receive push notifications right when the action starts. BE REMINDED OF EVENTS: Profit from notifications before double XP/skill, rapid respawn or double loot events. Tibia Observer can also let you know when your world succeeds in a world event. GET ALL THE TIBIA NEWS: Choose which official news regarding the game you want to get directly on your phone and decide how you want to be notified. FIND YOUR DREAM CHARACTER: Tell the app what characters you are interested in and receive notifications when they are up for auction in the Char Bazaar. Select filters for game world and type, level, vocation and skill. WATCH THE HOUSING MARKET: Never miss your chance to bid and always be informed about auctions on your world, in your favourite city and for your dream house. Tibia Observer can also be configured to tell you about a change of ownership for any house. OPTIMISE YOUR OFFLINE TRAINING: Always stay notified about how long your characters have been training and how long they can still keep going. MONITOR MINI WORLD CHANGES AND FORUM POSTS: The app is able to scan the game for mini world changes relevant to you. It can also notify you of answers to your posts on tibia.com. BE SAFE WHILE USING THE APP: No password or other sensitive data is needed and stored on your smartphone. Instead, the app is linked to your account via a token which is generated in the account management on the Tibia website. Tibia Observer is the official notification app for the classic MMORPG Tibia. Like the game, the app is developed by CipSoft, the German company that also released TibiaME, the first online role-playing game for mobile phones, and LiteBringer, the first game that fully operates on the Litecoin blockchain.
