We updated the Celtic Idol Statues to have unique names. To implement this change, already placed statues need to be packed as deeds (using the decoration tool or "i want to release this" function). Existing deeds must be unpacked and then packed again to receive their unique name. Newly distributed statue deeds will already include a unique name.

If you encounter an issue in the game or something appears off or incorrect, or if you have an idea for improvement, please make sure to let the developers know by submitting a Bug Report or Suggestion from in-game using the /bug or /suggestion commands

Submitting feedback in-game ensures that the team sees it and also provides some helpful information automatically to the team to help identify and troubleshoot issues

If you run into an emergency and need help, we have a few ways to get into touch with us outlined here: https://shardsofbritannia.com/about/contact

Please do not direct message staff, we do not accept DMs and will not respond to them.

The following plants have been added to the list of items that are allowed to be placed slightly outside the walls of some house types. Happy decorating!

Season 5 is Now Live!

We are thrilled to announce that Season 5 is now live! We always appreciate your patience through transitions between events.

Thanks for being here and for your continued support!

Hail, adventurers!

We have two big changes. First, minibosses—those six roaming overland events—lose their reset timers, staying active until defeated, thanks to feedback from the community about foes vanishing mid-fight. When you slay one, a server-wide alert will herald your triumph, ensuring glory and loot for hearty groups. Second, the Lord’s Boon (Hearthstone) is now granted to all new characters at creation—no quest needed, though Lord Seymour’s task remains in Britain Castle. It lets positive-Karma innocents teleport to a bound town (set in any inn), even in combat, with a 2-hour cooldown. A new autofix makes the Lord’s Boon "no-drop," meaning it cannot be removed from your backpack.

These updates prepare us for Season 5’s launch tomorrow, March 20, 2025, making Britannia more rewarding and accessible. The revised Guide to Britannia - Lord’s Boon in new players’ packs explains its use, while miniboss battles become epic tests of skill. Share your thoughts via Discord or /feedback—we’re already planning more! May your journeys be bold and safe, heroes!

— The Shards of Britannia Team

Pet Dye Fix

• White Wyrm pet dye should work as intended after the server restart.

Test Center - New Ancient Bulk Order Book – Improved Storage & Organization!

• Holds up to 5,000 Bulk Orders – Keep your BODs organized in one place!
• Easy Transfer – Drop a normal Bulk Order Book onto it to instantly transfer all Bulk Orders.
• Large BOD Completion Helper – A new checkmark icon appears below the remove icon on Large Bulk Orders:
  • Click it, and the book will search for the Small BODs needed to complete the Large BOD.
  • If you have all the required deeds, you'll get a prompt to remove them.
  • If any are missing, the book will tell you exactly which ones.
  • This book will be available on the donation store (first) and also by crafting (soon after) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n9wkwz6isZYhNM-tYdiIRskQRZxzBzxi/view?usp=drive_link

Top o’ the mornin’ to ye, and a grand St. Patrick’s Day it be! I know originally we wouldn’t be stirrin’ the pot o’ mischief—us leprechauns swore to keep our tricks tucked safe beneath the rainbow’s end, guardin’ our gold from meddlin’ hands. But the winds o’ the Emerald Isle whispered otherwise, and the ol’ St. Paddy himself must’ve nudged us to share a bit o’ chaos with ye mortals! So, we’ve conjured up a wee spontaneous event fer ye—but beware, ‘tis laced with our famous trickery, and frustration may be yer companion! This mischief’ll be runnin’ fer the next 24 hours, so ye’ve got ‘til the shamrock moon rises again to join the fun!

Special Explodin’ Barrels, enchanted by me own mischievous hands, be sproutin’ like shamrocks all o’er the Town o’ Paws. They’ll vanish in a puff o’ green smoke after a mere minute, so ye’d best be quick! Use these barrels, if ye dare, to try yer luck at blastin’ open one o’ the two ancient wells ‘round Paws—one nigh the Brit Bridge, the other by Colleen the Gypsy’s camp. These wells, ye see, be hidin’ secrets older than me pot o’ gold!

Crack one open, and ye might just snag a Puzzle Chest, brimmin’ with rare leprechaun loot—trinkets and treasures straight from the end o’ the rainbow. But mind ye, ‘tis no easy feat, for we leprechauns love a good riddle and a better laugh! So grab yer shillelagh, chase the luck o’ the Irish, and may the green winds o’ fortune blow yer way!

We wish you a happy and safe St Patrick's Day. It was our goal to have some activities for you to do over the weekend and today, but unfortunately we were unable to add them in time for the holiday. Alas, thanks for spending some of your free time with us and we hope you have a good holiday.

The login server is now restored and you can log into the game again.
