Transferring a house in Tibia is a straightforward process, but it requires careful attention to a few key steps. Essentially, you’re not directly transferring ownership to another character while maintaining your ownership; rather, you are essentially selling your house to another player during the “move out” process. Here’s how it works:
- Initiate the “Move Out” Process: The first step is for the current owner to access the house details section on the Tibia website. This can usually be found by clicking on the house icon next to your character name on the Tibia website interface.
- View the House: It is essential that you view your house in the game world. This action is a requirement by Tibia’s system to ensure the house owner is actively engaging with the transfer process.
- Click the “Move Out” Button: Once you are in your house and happy to begin the move out process, click the “Move Out” button. This button is located on the house details section of your Tibia account interface on the website. This will take you to the house transfer page.
- Select “Move Out and Pass It To”: On the next screen, you’ll be presented with two options: simply move out, or move out and transfer the house to another player. To sell your house, ensure you select the “and pass it to” option.
- Specify the New Owner: You’ll then be prompted to enter the name of the character to which you want to transfer the house. Double-check that the name is accurate to avoid any issues.
- Confirmation and Completion: Once you’ve specified the new owner and confirmed, the transfer will be completed. The other player will now be the owner of the house. Make sure that the player who will acquire the house is aware of the intended transaction.
It’s worth noting that during this process, the original owner essentially forfeits their claim to the house. The new owner will assume full ownership of the property.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Understanding the Transfer Process
1. Can I directly transfer my house to another player without going through the “Move Out” process?
No, direct house transfers are not possible. The only way to “transfer” a house is through the “Move Out” process where you choose the option to pass the house to another player.
2. Does transferring a house cost anything?
No, there are no specific fees associated with transferring a house, unlike world transfers or character auctions. However, remember that you will often agree on a price to receive for giving the house to a player – it’s effectively selling it.
3. What happens to the house if I just move out without transferring it to someone?
If you simply choose to move out and not pass it to a player, the house will become available for auction. This means other players can bid for the right to own the house.
4. Can I transfer a house to a character on a different game world?
No, house transfers are confined to the same game world. You cannot transfer a house to a character on a different Tibia server.
5. What if the player I want to transfer the house to is offline?
The player you’re transferring the house to does not need to be online during the transfer. As long as the character name is entered correctly, the transfer will be successful.
Eligibility and Restrictions
6. Can I transfer a house if my character has a red or black skull?
No, characters with red or black skulls cannot transfer houses. This is a restriction similar to the rules for character world transfers.
7. Can I transfer a house if my character is a guild leader?
Yes, being a guild leader does not prevent you from transferring a house. The guild leadership role is not tied to the house transfer process.
8. Are there any restrictions on which players can receive a house transfer?
There are no explicit level or vocation restrictions for players receiving a transferred house. Any character on the same game world can become a house owner as long as it was passed to them.
9. What happens to items stored in the house during the transfer?
Any items stored in the house will remain there and will be accessible to the new owner. It’s crucial to remove anything you want to keep before transferring ownership.
10. Can a character own multiple houses?
No, in Tibia, a character can only own one house at a time. If you own a house, you will need to pass it to another player before you can receive a new house via auction or another transfer.
Financial Aspects
11. How do I get paid for selling my house to another player?
The payment for the house is negotiated directly between the two players involved in the sale. Tibia does not have any built-in system for this. The most common method is to receive Tibia coins (which can be converted back into gold if needed) or other items as payment via market trade, in person, or transfer via the NPC Banker.
12. Can I use the Tibia Market to sell my house?
No, the Tibia Market is designed for buying and selling items. You cannot directly sell a house through the market. Instead, you would agree on the price with another player in person or via chat, then complete the transfer via the move out procedure after receiving the payment from them.
House Ownership and Auctions
13. How do house auctions work if I move out without passing it to a player?
When you move out without transferring the house to a specific player, your house becomes available for auction. Players will bid for the right to purchase it, and the highest bidder wins. The details of the auction can be found on your account in the house section.
14. Can I buy a house directly from another player outside of the “Move Out” process?
No, there is no method for this. The move out procedure is mandatory. It involves coordination between two players, but the official Tibia process is used to complete the sale.
15. How do I find houses that are available for auction?
You can find houses available for auction by browsing the houses on your chosen Tibia world within the website, within the game, or via a third party website that keeps track of such information. Often, the game’s community and fan pages offer resources on house availability.
By understanding the process and answering these frequently asked questions, Tibia players can navigate house transfers with confidence and ease. Remember that preparation, communication, and understanding are key to a smooth transaction!
