Does the Message in a Bottle in Roshamuul move every Server Save?

Question

The info I've found online says the bottle changes every server save and that is kind of what I assumed. Recently I started to collect these again to try to finish the quest off for the achievement. The bottle has been in the same location for 3 days straight. This would be very unlikely if it was random every server save.

Does it actually move every server save or does something have to be done to cause it to move? Or is there more to it like there is a certain chance it does move from the current location then it picks a new random location?

Answer 1

Usually the bottle respawn in different location. There is nothing that you could do to make it respawn in another place. All you need is a lot of patience and time to check it every day.

I am new to this so was just looking for more details. If the bottle chose a a spot at every server save the odds would be 1/1331 for it to be in the same spot for three days straight. Would it be possible that there is a certain % change for the bottle to move, then it chooses the spot? I just assumed everyday would be 1/11 and the bottle appears in a random spot. Could it be that say everyday there is a 50% chance for the bottle to move and it chooses 1/10 spots? This would make it more likely for the bottle to stay in the same location. I've only been checking for a few days but is it a regular occurrence for the bottle to remain in the same spot for several days?

It is a regular occurrence or just unluck, indeed. The odds are 1/11 - but it is completely random where the bottle will appear. There is no task to make the bottle move, there is nothing a player can do. If it is in the same spot after every server save, it just means that you need to have more patience and check it the next day. You can always contact Tibia support, but I really doubt that the answer will be different. It is just the mechanics of those bottles.

It stayed in the same place for me for 4 days. If the mechanic was that the bottle picked 1/11 spots everyday the chances of that happening would be 1/14641. Seems a little unlikely but I was looking for more info. Have you spent much time collecting bottles and had them appear in the same spot for several days in a row regularly?

It would be good to check test server also. Imagine if it is affected by the number of fished bottles (it moves if it was picked up). But that would could block the whole system at some point so it is very unlikely.

I feel like it has a certain percent chance to choose a new spot. Then if that triggers it chooses 1/10 of the other spots available. I've started tracking the bottle locations now to see if I notice any pattern.

"Have you spent much time collecting bottles and had them appear in the same spot for several days in a row regularly?" - Yes. All bottles took me around 4 months (but I must confess that I didn't check it EVERY day). I had a friend who was exping on Roshamuul back then, he was looking for bottle "stones". It didn't appear for like a month of daily checks, but once it did, it lasted there for 3 days straight.
