Having read the answer about how to obtain the 'Smart Thinking' achievement, I found myself confused due to the lack of certainty in any of the claims, rather than gaining any insight into it. That said, I would love to take a different approach to this achievement by looking for clues in its description, in previous similar achievements, or in any other references from when it was released that might help us to understand what it refers to and where we could start looking.

Firstly, what can we infer from the description? Is it a sarcastic exaggeration of the situation, or is it intended to provide insight into the situation or the methods of obtaining it?

Secondly, are these grades a reference to how difficult it is to obtain the achievement? This might be helpful if we want to know how difficult it is to complete.

Thirdly, if an achievement is released during a certain patch, is it always related to the content of that patch, or are there any references to achievements released later or earlier than the time at which it can be obtained?

Hopefully, compiling all this information will help us solve this or future achievements.

Some of this can be speculative but I will leave it open for now. Smart thinking!

1. Until someone discovers how to obtain it, nothing can be said for sure.

2. Theoretically, yes, achievements are separated by their grade of difficulty. However, there are Grade 1 achievements that are more difficult to obtain and should be at a higher grade of difficulty. The Fearless achievement is an example. It's hard to understand CipSoft's criteria, so it might be something simple, or something that could take a long time.

3. It's usually related to the update in which it was implemented, but there's no rule about it. If CipSoft wants to implement new achievements related to old content, they can. In update 8.62, for example, several achievements related to older content were added.

And yes, they can implement achievements even before they can be obtained. The King's Council achievement, for example, was implemented in update 12.70, but only became obtainable in update 15.20.7a5cc9.

Outfits and Addons achievements are an exception, since there are still some incomplete outfits in the game. Example: Monk, which addons are currently unobtainable. But achievements related to mechanics usually are added with the mechanics from the same update. Example: the achievement Stagmeister can be obtained by drinking 20 Bottles of Enhanced Raubritter Lager. It is a mechanic added to the same update. In my opinion Smart Thinking is related to the same update or for older content and/or mechanics. Many says that they are trying repetitive actions to try to unlock it, but in my opinion "Smart Thinking" is something more deep, not a type of repetitive action like we have with known achievements, but I can be wrong.

So far the most certain info we have about this achieve is that it exists and was from same update were achievements were introduced in game so it can be related to that specific update or any other previous update

can you share me more info about the introduction of this specific achievement? tibia wiki AND the previous answer say it was introduce WITH 8.7 while what you say happened on update 8.6, that doesn't change much about the possibility of it being added to enhance content in previous updates but it might change a lot about what content it was introduced with.

Also, do you have any idea what content was released with the update? or what's the most difficult first grade achievement so far? that might help a lot more.

Specially since, in case you are right AND this was introduced during 8.6 and not during 8.7 some claims about it being more related to mathemagics might gain some strength.

I don’t have any proof or any strong info about which update it was implemented it can be 8.6 or 8.7… I don’t think it is related to mathemagics but anyway
All wikis has the info of what was implemented during this updates…
