Until further notice, the exploding well event has been canceled going forward. Thank you to everyone who participated we hope you had fun! The event will return at some point soon with some exciting changes!

List of Changes

• Seasonal Challenges: Season 6 will begin today! (see: https://shardsofbritannia.com/news/seasons-are-about-to-change)

Steel thy blades and ready thy satchels, for Season the Sixth shall arise anon, the hour of its birth resting in the hands of the attending sages and stewards.

The treasure chests have been laden with insensate riches and rare spoils, a bounty fit for kings and champions alike! Seek them ere the sun sets on this cycle.

Although the Britannia project began in October 2017, this milestone marks the beginning of the world we’ve all helped shape over the past four years.

We’re incredibly grateful for your role in Britannian history. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a recent arrival, your presence makes a difference. Thank you :-)

Congratulations to our lucky winners:

1st Place: Cicirider 2nd Place: Snuff Alapagus 3rd Place: Echo Saber

Winners, we will be in touch soon to give you your Mystery Box prizes! Stay tuned for more epic lottery adventures soon! ⚔️✨

Hail, adventurers! Due to the roaring success of our last Paws explosion fest, we’re cranking up the chaos with a brand-new, heart-pounding event! This is no ordinary rerun—it’s bigger, badder, and bursting with madness! Get ready for 24 hours of non-stop action this weekend!

Keep your eyes peeled for Special Exploding Barrels popping up across the Town of Paws. These barrels are slippery—they’ll vanish in just 60 seconds, so sprint to snag one! Use them to blast open one of the two wells in Paws: one near the Brit Bridge, the other by Colleen the Gypsy. This time, we’ve got Guaranteed-Break Barrels—rare, barrels that will crack those stubborn wells open on the first try!

Smash a well, and you could score a Puzzle Chest stuffed with even more rare loot than before. But beware—bigger explosions mean more ferocious monsters guarding the wells, ready to test your mettle. These wells are tough nuts to crack, so bring your patience and determination!

SPECIAL HANDOUTS THIS WEEKEND

Check our official discord for all the information!

The recently introduced plants and potted plants have been added to the list of allowed items and can to be placed slightly outside the walls of some house types. Active after the next server restart. Happy decorating!

Exciting news for all aspiring chicken fighters! There's now a new NPC at the Moonglow Zoo who will let you register your pet chicken for the upcoming cockfighting event just target your feathered friend to sign up, but remember, each player can only enter one. Once registered, you can purchase special scrolls from the NPC to customize your chicken's size and color, making it stand out in the arena. This is a player run event with full details dropping late next month, so in the meantime, start training your chickens and tweaking their looks to get ahead. Have fun!

Hail, brave adventurers of Britannia!

The hour draws near to tally thy final deeds and claim the rewards thou hast earned. Season V shall draw to a close ere the end of July. Yet fear not — for as one chapter ends, another begins! Prepare thyselves for the dawning of Season VI, bringing forth a trove of wondrous and thrilling new treasures.

All, the Exploding Wells Event has started with a little delay. It will run for 12 hours from the time of this announcement. Have fun :-)

A new mini windmill item has been added to the game. Owners of existing windmill items can exchange them for the new version at the item fixer. This includes both the mini windmills and the larger versions handed out as gifts in 2018 and 2019. Mini windmills will preserve their color. Note that the replaced larger models will not preserve their title or tooltip.

FINAL UPDATE: The server is coming online and everything looks to be good on our side. Please wait about 5 minutes before trying to log in again. Thanks!

FURTHER UPDATE: Sorry, there was an issue starting up the first time, we're trying again shortly! Please wait for the all-clear before trying to log in again, sorry for the inconvenience

ORIGINAL MESSAGE: We need to perform a short restart, unexpectedly, for a backend update. There are no player-facing changes for this restart. Thanks for your patience! - The server will automatically restart in about 30 minutes from the time of this post. We will update this post when the server is back online.

We’ve rebalanced the speed and damage output of all bows to improve consistency and bring archery in line with other combat styles. This includes updates to base attack speeds for each bow class and adjustments to their tested damage per second (DPS) values.

Bow Speed Changes

• Light Bows: Speed increased from 23 to 31
• Medium Bows: Speed increased from 19 to 25
• Heavy Bows: Speed increased from 13 to 19

https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/weapons

These changes are intended to make archery weapons feel more responsive and competitive across different combat scenarios. Let us know how the update plays for you.

The wiki will be offline for maintenance for up to 2 hours from the time of this message. Thanks for your patience.

Sorry for the interruption this morning, we had a brief outage with our primary domain (shardsofbritannia.com) and it's been resolved. Due to the issue, this will affect some people's ability to connect to the game briefly. It can take a little time for everyone's networks to be updated that the domain is back online, if you have trouble please keep trying and it should be fully resolved within an hour or two for majority of the world. Thanks for your patience!

PS: This issue can present itself with the SoB Launcher, SoB Website, and even logging into the game client itself

UPDATE: we were able to resolve the issue. Enjoy the game!

All, we are experiencing the known "connect failure for custom assets" error that will hit players launching the game from Europe. We are working to resolve it, please use a VPN to bypass the problem or wait until it is fixed. Those of you who are logged in, stay in. Sorry :-/

We've optimized our bulk order books for improved performance. On your first login after this update, you may experience a brief delay as your bulk order books in your bags are are updated.
