Season 5
These changes will go live after the next server restart.
The Ancient Bulk Order book is now available on the general donation vendor (it will be craftable in the near future).
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!

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.

🏰 A Royal Proclamation from Lord Reginald of Britannia 🏰
Loyal citizens, hear ye!
In an effort to cleanse our fair realm of both crime and unseemly waste, Lord Reginald proudly announces a new rehabilitation initiative for the wayward souls of Britannia. Those whose hands have been stained with blood now have a chance to cleanse their sins—both metaphorically and literally!
The Program: Convicted murderers may reduce their criminal standing by performing an essential public service: collecting 50 pieces of feces from the streets of any town within Britannia. A noble act of penance, this will not only aid our sanitation efforts but also grant these lost souls the opportunity to reclaim their honor.
The Reward: Upon successful completion, one murder charge shall be forgiven, allowing the reformed to walk a step closer toward redemption in the eyes of Britannia. This task may be undertaken once every 24 hours.
Where to Begin: Those seeking to participate should seek out Lord Reginald in the town of Paws and pledge themselves to this task.
Britannia thrives on justice — but it also values redemption. Let this be a lesson that even the most wretched can find their way back to the light!
Signed,
🏰 Lord Reginald of Britannia

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We have removed the sound effects from the water fountains. Please relog for this change to take effect.
You can now use Exploding Barrels to blow open a wider variety of objects throughout the world, revealing loot inside. Happy exploring!
Unfortunately due to a data integrity issue, we have had to roll back to the last known good save at 01:30 UTC. We apologise for this inconvenience, however if we had not done this, there would have been data loss for various players.
Thank you for your understanding.
Talismans with charges will unequip when logging into Britannia unless they are blessed. "A surge of protective magic in this realm has caused your charged talismans to lose their grip on you, unequipping them as you enter."
Drop rates for grave-digging, mining, and lumberjacking rares have been increased.
The server experienced an issue after the daily restart and it will be restored soon. Thanks for your patience!
