  • the fansite item suggestions must be posted as an answer to this topic
  • the fansite item suggestions must comply with the technical/content details provided below
  • the fansite item must somehow refer to TibiaQA but it's up to the contestant to decide on the final suggestion and design; Will it be a golden question mark? An emblem of the best answer? A scroll of a perfect question? Everything is up to the contestant and own, creative ideas are most welcome
  • there's no limit to the number of suggestions one player can make
  • only complete entries (graphical item design + description + weight) will be considered as valid entries

  • it should not contain any direct references to a country, e.g. a Brazilian flag

Shield of the Wise
 You see a Shield of the Wise. It weighs 42.00 oz. Mentalize the question and the golden owl will answer it. Forged by the ancient blacksmiths of TibiaQA.com on the lake to the top of Kazordoon!

Light Color: Green- 4 sqm range
Configuration: 41 frames (100ms)
Transparent background: https://imgur.com/a/Z3qP7PA
(I don't know why have some bug pixels in transparent background, please contact me if it happen again)

When used one of the sentences randomly appears:

The secret of the bonelords' language is 42!

Just deliver 9999 pieces of iron to Sweaty Cyclops!

Hugo is his father! 

Zoralurk will appear in the next update!

Dagomir has been in the bathroom for over 20 years! And counting!

Is it serious that you believe what Avar Tar says? I respect your opinion but leave me on the ground and go your way!

You can free all monsters from the Serpentine Tower, you just need access to the game server.

Yes, you will still play this game in senior citizenship. And Dagomir will still be in the latrine!

631739 attempts to get the Sword of Fury have already been tried and throwing your equips at sea is not a smart way.

First go to the desert to raise the sunken bridge and reach the dead corpse containg the Golden Helmet. You will need an anihillation bear, a blue tom... <text edited by knightmare>.

The color of the King Tibianus III underwear is white with small red dots.

Never tickle a sleeping dragon!

Hall of the lost doors... Winged Helmet....

Yes, Gharonk is still a widely used language... but in secret.

Basilisk is a NPC: non-professional of Carlin!

Excalibug is a legend, but which legend does not arouse curiosity?

Hey, enough questions! I need a beer from Kazordoon and some mushrooms from the gnomes to recover the energy.

Wow! I love the sprite, it's in very high quality. But I wouldn't use a motive from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with 42 if it's already used in other entry. It's always better to have a unique concepts. And ofc book is for everybody, but if someone else has already combined this motive with item from TibiaQA contest (which was not so obvious, because I was first and only who used it) then maybe better to draw from other sources?

Very nice! I'd suggest trying to make "Q" more visible, because it currently looks a lot like "D" or "O", and may be confusing.

I see this doll try to enter on tibia during some time, but im sure earlier than later this gonna enter in the game.
by (10 points)
I dont see why the colors would be a problem, some colors just had to be used. The doll shows female character, therefore the colors should be feminine too. I loved this entry.

Owl is in my opinion perfect idea to represnt knowlege. Also note, that there is only one owl in whole Tibia - an object which you can find on Feyrist :P Small, dark, almost not visible. Maybe here is a lot of Owls but in game it would be very unique.
by (42 points)
ok but owls aren’t the only creatures related to knowlege and tibia still doesnt have a lot of creatures like a griffin it only has a shield but no creature. And thousands of owls doesnt mean lots of options (sorry just said my opinion your item looks great ;)
by (31 points)
Yea I understand your point of view, that was my first item with an owl and I wont do any other.
by (555 points)
Good details, but im not sure if looks too orange.
