Are tomes a part of some quest?

Question

Are or were the mystic secrets of Tibia (blue, red, purple, grey, green tomes) a part of some quest?

Answer 1

The Mystic Secrets of Tibia are truly mysterious. Most tomes used to spawn in random parts of the map but now don't. Green and grey can only be obtained from fansite contests. The purple, red, and blue can be looted today. You can read more about this Why are tomes a rare item? Now, what I'm about to tell you is all hearsay but it could make sense. But to simply answer your question: Based on my research we don't know if tomes are a part of a quest or ever were.

There's a room in Edron's Hero Cave known as the Star Room or one of the pentagram rooms that you can see in Tibia. However, the Edron Star room is rumored to be what was once the Tome Quest or The Mystic Secrets of Tibia Quest. What is said is that players would place the Tome collection onto one of the tiles and then bam you would get your reward. Some speculate it was a Great Axe or a Silver Mace, which at the time weren't obtainable. However, they say the quest got removed and no longer exists and now the tomes are just decoration or a mystery. Now, there are no pictures or videos to prove this, so this is all speculation! I emailed Cipsoft to see if they could verify if this was a quest removed or not and they advised me:

“Thank you for your message. I understand that you'd like to get some hints. As much as I'd love to help, I can't give you this information due to our policy. There are some "secrets" we don't want to unveil because we think it's more fun and rewarding if you find them out for yourself. However, you might be able to find information about this topic on one of our supported fansites. Or you can ask the community for help on the website forum as well as ingame"

 Here's how you get to the Edron Pentagram room which is located in Edron's Hero Cave.

Please note: I tried rearranging the collection in a different order but nothing worked. What I think is maybe each player holds a tome and stands in the corner that corresponds with the tome? The theories go on and on....maybe the room is meant for something entirely else or like mentioned earlier, it's just not a quest anymore or never was.

Also, it could just be a coincidence but when you look through screenshots on Tibia there's a screenshot that says, "Solve the secrets in the mystic ruins of the dark cathedral" Interesting choice of wording, I don't want to mislead anyone, I just think it's adding all the words from tomes into a picture. However, we all know there are quests already in the Dark Cathedral so this could be all misleading but I thought I'd add it. (Source: Tibia: Screenshots)

Great research and congrats on having all the Tomes

---

Thank you! I had to buy them but I'm still very grateful :)

---

That is a good and detailed answer, I remembered something about this quest in past but didn’t know much about it

---

One of the old school quest hunters claimed to have solved the Edron star room long ago but of course he never said how publically. Ill see if I can track down where I read it ( was about a year ago I read it)

---

Someone downvoted my answer lol and has been doing that to me a lot lately. I'm starting to think it's out of spite as no reason is given.

---

I wrote an interview for Tibiacity many years ago about an oldschool player that claimed to solved it.

There are not only tomes that have different colors, also gems and wands.

Did you know that this room has - if not misstaken - five different mages that run from you when you attack them?
Maybe you can trap them, one in each corner...

Blue Tome, is now loot of Ghazbaran but in the past was be reward from Demon Legs Quest (Now Demon Helmet Quest).

Green Tome, in the past could be obtained on Isle Of The Mists, in a respawn.

Grey tome, in the past could be obtained on Mintwallin, in a respawn.

Purple Tome, i now loot of Orshabaal, Angry Demon, Demon, Rage Squid and Vexclaw. Also is part of reward of Purple Tome Quest.

Red Tome, is now loot of Ferumbras, Morgaroth, Infernalist and Warlock.

All tomes can be gifted by CipSoft or Official Fansites in their contests. But this dont have real use, just decoration.

Sorry I made the title wrong it was something like if the tomes are or were used in a quest not if they are a reward from a quest...

---

Well, the short answer is not, they at the moment are not part (used) of any quest.

---

Actually it was part of an old quest

Answer 3

From current knowledge none of the tomes are part of any quest. Of course it is possible that any of them could have use in an unsolved or yet to be released quest. Only the future will tell i guess.

Not future but maybe past in one stream of arieswar he said that these tome were part of a quest but he doesn’t remember... this post was to see if someone else know or remembered something...
