Shimmer swimmer in the hands of a player

The useful question about Shimmer swimmer is not merely "what is its ID?" The registry answers with item ID 13546, then adds Description and Weight and a general items role that still depends on the deployed ruleset.

Shimmer swimmer belongs to a broad item family, so its purpose cannot be read safely from the name alone. The registry, scripts, map, and target server rules complete the picture.

No indexed monster definition names Shimmer swimmer 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.

Shimmer swimmer identity and identifiers

Shimmer swimmer appears in the pinned item registry under 1 concrete identifier value. 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

Shimmer swimmer is classified here as general items from its name and declared XML attributes. The XML entry establishes the identifiers and attributes shown here, while interaction behavior can also come from the binary item registry, movement events, actions, and server scripts. 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 Shimmer swimmer 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 Shimmer swimmer against alternatives in the same general items 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 Shimmer swimmer 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 Shimmer swimmer behavior.
