Dark sand

Dark sand in the hands of a player

Every item carries two stories: what the player sees and what the server executes. For Dark sand, the second story begins with 48 identifiers beginning with 10456-10467, 4 source definitions, and no extra items.xml attributes.

Dark sand belongs to the scenery and machinery of the world. Placement, tile flags, movement permissions, decay, and scripted interaction give it meaning that a backpack tooltip cannot capture.

No indexed monster definition names Dark sand as direct corpse loot. The silence is useful because it narrows the next search to quests, NPC trades, map rewards, crafting, events, stores, and action scripts instead of encouraging an invented hunting route.

Dark sand identity and identifiers

Dark sand appears in the pinned item registry under 48 concrete identifier values. This page groups definitions that share the exact source name so readers can compare alternate graphics, transformation states, map variants, or legacy identifiers without treating each numeric ID as a different search topic. The identifiers are engine references, not proof that every Open Tibia server exposes every variant to players.

Attributes and mechanical meaning

Dark sand is classified here as map and world objects from its name and declared XML attributes. This is primarily a world or map object, so placement, movement, use, and decay behavior depend on map flags and server scripts in addition to this XML entry. Exact behavior can be supplemented or overridden by the server binary, the OTB item registry, Lua actions, movement events, decay handlers, imbuement systems, or custom upgrade code.

Acquisition and recorded loot sources

No monster XML file in the pinned profile lists Dark sand as direct loot. That does not establish that the item is unobtainable. It may be awarded by a quest, NPC trade, map placement, reward chest, crafting system, action script, event, store, or custom content module. A server-specific guide should name one of those primary acquisition sources before presenting a method as verified.

Progression, use, and comparison

Evaluate Dark sand against alternatives in the same map and world objects class by comparing only attributes that the active server actually implements. For combat equipment, attack, defense, armor, elemental protection, skill modifiers, vocation restrictions, level requirements, charges, and weight can all change the practical result. For world objects and general items, the decisive behavior is more often an action, movement event, unique ID, or map placement that cannot be inferred from the display name alone.

• Confirm the live item identifier before importing Dark sand into an editor, script, reward, or shop.
• Compare XML attributes with the deployed OTB registry and any upgrade, tier, imbuement, or rarity layer.
• Trace acquisition through monster files, NPC scripts, quest scripts, reward containers, and map placements.
• Test equip, use, decay, trade, loss, and persistence behavior on the target server profile.

Reference boundary and change control

A correction to this entry should cite the exact deployed item definition, commit, server documentation, or reproducible live test. Screenshots can show appearance or a tooltip, but they do not independently prove hidden chance values, script branches, or database state. Keeping those evidence layers separate prevents a historical item ID or one server's custom value from being mislabeled as universal Dark sand behavior.
