Podium of Tenacity – Duplicate – [#25257]
INTRO
After the introduction of the Podium of Renown and Podium of Vigour, every player completing entries in the bestiary – many of whom are decorators – had been eagerly awaiting this option! The Podium of Tenacity, which is the focus of this article, was introduced into the game in March 2023 and became a dream come true for fans of creature design in Tibia. It allowed for the display of regular monsters that did not fit into the categories of tamed and saddled mounts or bosses.
This innovation opened up a wealth of possibilities, making decorations more attractive. RPG players gained the ability to showcase their encounters with rare creatures. Thanks to this, they could easily emphasize their thematic decorations with monsters that fit their concepts. Doesn’t that sound interesting? If we have piqued your curiosity even a little, we invite you to keep reading!
OUTFITS
The Bestiary, introduced in the Winter Update 2017, contains a variety of creature classes known from Tibia.
PODIUM OF RENOWN
HOW TO GET IT?
In the case of the Podium of Tenacity, the way to get it is quite obvious. It should simply be purchased from the Tibia Store for the amount of 375 Tibia Coins.
Unfortunately, there is no way to obtain it in an alternative way. Wanting to display a few creatures from the game in our house permanently, we have to expect a rather significant expense.
As with other decorative items from the Tibia Store, once purchased, the podium will appear in the Store Inbox.
ITEM SPECIFICATION
NOT PICKABLE – note that you can not pick this item to your backpack. The only way to take it with you is to wrap it to your Store Inbox.
WRAPPABLE – you can wrap this item directly to your Store Inbox by choosing this option in the item menu, and unwrap it in any place at your house or guildhall.
MOVABLE – you can move your podium by pushing it on the ground.
BLOCKING – unfortunately, you can not walk on this object, nor put other items freely on the top of it. Placed on the road it will block the passage.
TL;DR
| pickable |  |
| wrappable |  |
| movable | |
| blocking | |
HOW TO USE IT?
The podium is permanently stored in our Store Inbox. Optionally, it can be moved to the deposit. Wanting to set the item in the house, expand the list of options (depending on our settings, for example, right-click) and select “Unwrap”. Wanting to hide the item – we select the item menu analogously and choose “Wrap”.
To be able to change the options of our podium, we must expand the item menu, then select “Customise Podium”.
SELECTING THE CREATURE
The window for customizing a new podium will open without the presented creature. To choose which monster you want to display, select the one of interest from the list on the right. Note, that the list includes creatures that you unlocked by killing at least one of a particular type. As an example – we will choose Abyssal Calamary.
SEARCHING THE CREATURE
Most often, the list of creatures is quite long. To make our search easier, we can use the option of manually typing the name of the monster.
SHOW/HIDE CREATURE
The podium in its basic version is empty, does not display any creature and is an object decorated with the symbol of the monster. If we choose a creature from the list, and after time we feel like returning to the basic appearance of the podium – we can use the show/hide creature option. Another way to reset the chosen monster is to select a “wrap” object from the menu, then uwrap – and put it in the same place.
SHOW/HIDE PODIUM
The biggest advantage of Podium of Tenacity from a decorator’s point of view is, ironically, the ability to hide the podium. Before you consider this absurd, it should be emphasized that this is about the pedestal itself, while the depicted image of the creature will be displayed separately.
SHOW/HIDE FLOOR
The background floor divided into 1×1 SQM tiles is used to orient how the graphics of a particular creature look in relation to the game area. It suggests the size of the monster, which is perhaps more difficult to judge when the graphic is suspended on a solid background. However, when the tiles start to get in the way and you want to focus on the appearance of the creature itself, you can turn off the floor at the bottom of the window.
ROTATE
If you wonder how your creature will look like from different sides, the “Customise Podium” window allows different positions of the displayed monster. To change it, use the arrows located in the lower left and right corners of the floor (background).
ANIMATIONS
Some of the creatures on display at Podium of Tenacity have animation, others do not. The moving ones undoubtedly add charm to the decorations and make them “alive.” What does animation depend on? – The answer is simple!
Monsters in the game can have up to two types of animation:
1) idle animation,
2) animation while moving between SQMs.
Podium of Tenacity presents the idle state. Thus, if a monster in this state does not have an animated version (single frame animation), it stands still on the podium. On the other hand, if its animation in the idle state is more complex (composed of at least 2 frames), the podium displays the animated version.

And now it’s your turn to show us your decorations with Podium of Tenacity and inspire others!
