What quest has got the Longest/Richest history?


There are many quests that have been implemented on Tibia for many years, but which one is the longest and richest that is still active?

When I say Longest / Richest you guys can answer if you want with the one that for you is the Richest in meanings of history and dont have to be necessarily the longest.

Almost 6 years ago it started a mistery quest without spoilers , a quest that was pure investigation and full of trying to solve hard puzzle that requires many knowledge and the help of the community, this is the secret and longest/richest quest on Tibia "Opticording Sphere Quest".

All started with some new sqms in some places of all Tibia, this new sqm looks like this:

Sqm with the symbolsBinary translated from symbols

On it you can appreciate that there is 2 kinds of objets , 1 largue and one small , this sqms were intented to give clues in this quest , all we have to do is translate it to binary code , being the large object 1 and the smaller 0. And every 8bits can be translated to UTF-8 character set using a tool like this one on this website.  

And if you translate that to UTF-8 with the website tool you get "Venore"

And this method applies on many clues during the quest.
 


Behind this quest there is a lot of incredible things , for example one of the hints for continuing the quest was the binary code from the Rolled-up Parchment in the egg  °°°°°'''''°'''°° = 0000011111011100. This binary code is 2012 when you translate it , so we have a date but people were thinking and where is the month and day? well its impressive the place where to look at to find the answer.

The binary code from the minimap (as shown to the right) in the cave is: 00001011 and 00001111 = 11 and 15 in decimal.

Based on this, we have a date: 15/11/12.

There it is , in Krailos in the new secret zone under the dead skeleton dragon there was a little marks that if you look closer you can see that there are 2 type of marks 1 big and 1 small , if you translate it for binary you can found this: The binary code from the minimap (as shown to the right) in the cave is: 00001011 and 00001111 = 11 and 15 in decimal. So we have the 3 things , day , month and year:
15/11/2012 !! and now? well this is quite cool because if you look that date in the news archive from Tibia.com you find a Teaser with a very uncommon screen that on that date it doesnt had many sense but..

There was a image on that teaser!!  a Image from 2012 used to give a hint in a future quest , thats amazing , and that flower image was needed for continuing the quest in a color puzzle inside Krailos!! 


After this there was some new stages and the last one was a new boss called Last Planegazer

When you kill that new Boss you get and incomplete Black Cube:

Last Planegazer BossLoot with clue (always drop)

On the same place where you can enter to the boss there is some books , some of them speaks about this cubes , they say that at the moment we could only find the incomplete Cubes and we need a perfect Cube, so thats a big Clue for the next Stage (Actually after Winter update 2018).


The last clue of this quest is avaiable on the new Buried Cathedral where you can found in the cemetery a new key to open one of two new rooms on that cathedral.

Item neededWhere to get it

Key 3200

To get the key you will need to click in one of those graves , maybe you need several times to get the key , the grave have like  1h of cooldown to click again .

With this key you can enter to a new room on the Cathedral, and on this room there is a reward chest that give you druid equipment, maybe is a clue maybe not but the next clue is there for sure.

Here is there room , thats me inside using that key , in the reward chest I got a Hailstorm rod, and at the nort there is another door that needs a key but atm I dont know which one is needed or what I have to do to continue the quest.

Well guys this is an example of the Longest and for me the better and most impressive quest on Tibia, is the longest because we can say it started on 2012 with that screenshoot and today the quest isnt finished yet since they continuing implementing new stages with new secrets !!  

I really love this quest and Im so curious to see whats the reward of this long and unspoiled quest that have many people researching every day looking for the next clue to solve it! 


So this is the longest/richest quest on Tibia guys , from 2012-2019 and it stills continues, more than seven years trying to unsolve a big mistery, there is hundreds of books speaking spoilers of this quest , many npcs with secret texts , many secret places and all with the spirit of dont revealing the spoiler.

On my opinion in the final reward of this quest there will be only reward for those who did on every stage the quest , making an effort researching and following all the clues.


If you guys wanna know more about this quest you can see this link:

It contais a spoiler of the things that has been solved , and if anyone wanna know more about this quest I can speak to him and tell him everything about it , I cant post everything of this quest in a single answer since is very extended so feel free to ask.

you asked for the longest quest but thats just an incomplete quest and there is a lot of them even older than this one... And since you asked for the longest quest it shouldnt be a full implemented quest?
by (4,937 points)
I asked for the longest quest on Tibia , and this is the longest by far and its still not finished , so its the longest quest , I didnt asked for incomplete or complete question , so I dont understand why u guys downvoting the answer...  And I said longest not oldest. Anyways if you think my answer is incorrect post yours , so people can get the best answer , but I think mine is correct

Maybe you could try to adjust the title? When I first read it, my initial feeling was the same as Raven~ - a quest that takes the most time to complete. Maybe it could be reworded to "What quest has got the longest/richest history?"
