How to obtain the secret achievement "Smart Thinking"?

Question

During the test of the fifth vocation, a new secret achievement called "Smart Thinking" was discovered:

A user on Reddit posted the following screenshot:

Apparently, this is the secret achievement released many years ago (ID 195) that had yet to be discovered.

In addition, Hunter of Dragoes (TibiaWiki staff member) also confirmed the existence of the achievement, and even created a character with the name of the achievement years ago:

The achievement description is very vague, but in case anyone finds out anything, I'd like to know how to obtain this achievement.

Hey,

So I would just like to clarify that Hunter of Dragoes does NOT know how to obtain the achievement. He has simply found it in an endpoint on the Tibia website that allows you to get information about achievements.

You see, the Tibia client has a list of all achievements you have discovered in the Cyclopedia. This list is hosted on the Tibia website. By analyzing the game client you can find where this endpoint is. It includes all achievements. The only thing the game client does, is to filter those you have obtained.

Reverse engineer the game client by looking at data packets and where it sends the request. This can be done using Wireshark while opening the Achievements list in Cyclopedia. Get the endpoint URL and it will return a JSON object containing all the achievements (name, points, description).

Do not, under any circumstances, send money to anyone who pretends like they have found out how to get the achievement. Unless they display it on their character profile. Until then, it remains an unsolved mystery.

Yes, if he had obtained the achievement, he would have displayed it on his character page, just like he did with other achievements he helped discover. I've never considered paying anyone anything, but thanks for the heads up.

So apparently, we already know all the names of the secret achievements obtained *at least* by someone in Tibia? I did not know that getting this info would be that straightforward.  Interesting! I do not recall anyone discussing about this achievement before, not even during the height of Tibia Mysteries.

Answer 1

The solution to "Smart Thinking" achievement has not been fully discovered, unfortunately there is no complete solution to this issue yet, and much of what has been discussed so far is pure speculation, could be related to a simple but difficult action, or a combination of interactions that have not yet been discovered by the community. Confirmed by a Community Manager (Rejana), relesed in patch 8.7, but there is no solid information or indication of the requirements to obtain it. Even though players can see that it exists, no one has been able to discover it.  There are some theories about how to acquire it thought :

Some of theories are:

• The repetition theory:

The repetition theory suggests that achievement 195 is related to some repetitive task in the game. This theory gained strength because achievements 194 and 196, released in update 8.7, are for repetitive tasks. Let's see:

- ID194: Obtained by successfully using your Blessed Wooden Stake 500 times on Demons and/or Vampires.

- ID195: "Smart Thinking". (It would also be a repetition theory.)

- ID196: Can be obtained by stepping on a Glowing Switch 1,000 times.

• Connections to Rottin Wood and Other Missions Released in Update 8.7:

Achievement 195 was implemented in Update 8.7, in which players must perform repetitive repairs for Rottin Wood, which, theoretically, could be incomplete or poorly resolved. The idea here is that, in order for the achievement to be unlocked, the player must discover the real solution to the repairs, something that is not simply repeating the task, but understanding an efficient and intelligent solution. This aligns with the idea that "Smart Thinking" would be a reward for those who find the creative answer to a seemingly simple, but in fact complicated.

• A CipSoft's Trolling:

One theory is that the name "Smart Thinking" is a kind of trolling by CipSoft, related to players who tried to look for clues on the test server. Tibia has several challenges and secrets that have not yet been revealed, and players suggest that this was a way for Cipsoft to encourage players to look for the solution.

Note (1): The fact that CipSoft has decided to release the achievement only on the Test Server (14.12.0e9c5b)  with full access to characters suggests that the secret behind the achievement may require testing, trial and error, or that the solution may be something that has been intentionally hidden and can only be discovered by players who truly think outside the box.

Any news or solutions of this topic, gonna be updated ASAP!
