Event Calendar
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/int/forum/pictures/2019_anniversary/tso_anni_calendar_uk.png

The Event Calendar was overhauled to reward a few new items, for example:
Advanced Toolmaker Tribute
Balanced Geologist
Improved Bronze Weaponsmith
Celebrative Lookout

There are 14 doors in total: 12 regular and 2 special doors.
You can open one door each day. Opening missed doors for gems costs 100 Gems for regular doors and 300 Gems for special doors.

The following reward changes for event quests were made:

"A Decent Contribution": Boat Residence instead of 4th Era Mayan Toolmaker
Community-Goal – Phase 1: Elder Tree Lighthouse instead of Advanced Toolmaker Tribute
Community-Goal – Phase 2: Mountain Clan Colossus and The Smuggler instead of Improved Bronze Weaponsmith and Sophisticated Geologist

Last but not least, we have an "easter egg" for you, a small wave from a different CipSoft world. The impressive Mountain Clan Colossus and the idyllic Elder Tree Lighthouse were inspired by two iconic Tibia buildings: The Colossus of Kazordoon and the Great Lighthouse Tree of Ab'dendriel. :)
