There's a trending issue with stablemasters not being able to find pets in dungeons in some cases. For now, it is advised to travel back to the last known location as the pets are usually nearby still. We will work to resolve this as quickly as possible

To obtain a quiver find the Rangers inside and outside of Cove town.

Gravestones & No Refund Sign, the house add-ons, can now be engraved using the engraving tool. In addition to being able to change the item's name, these items can also have a tooltip added.

Hail citizens,

We are writing to inform you of some updates regarding the Patron Benefits we announced recently.

A summary of the changes:

  • Modifying the in-game benefits received by Patrons, adding some new benefits & adjusting some previously mentioned
  • Adding more Patron Tiers & renaming some existing ones
  • Adding in-game Britannia Tokens
  • Adding Donation Vendors

The full details are outlined on our wiki page: https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/donations


Following this announcement, we will begin updating our websites to include the new donation options, and in the coming days we will work on deploying the Patron Benefits & Donation Vendors and then begin allowing transactions

Once again we want to thank all of you for your continued support and contributions to the project, we appreciate you very much!

  • Moat fishing chances have been increased

  • New rares have been added to Dungeon fishing

  • Thieves with GM Lockpicking can now attempt to lockpick containers inside other players backpacks. This action will turn the thief grey and there is a 50% chance to reveal them if hidden.

  • Tinkers can now craft a new item called a Trap Disarmer

  • GM Thieves (snooping & stealing) can use the trap disarmer to attempt to disarm trapped containers in another players backpack. This action will turn the thief grey and also has a 50% chance to detonate the trap. When trapped containers are disarmed it is only for 20 -30 seconds.

  • Trapped containers can no longer be put inside other trapped containers.

General Fixes

  • Corrected the Smoke Bomb crafting recipe to use Iron only, it was not intended to be crafted with other metals
  • Fixed an issue with Halloween bless deed not accepting some Halloween items
  • Fixed an issue with Treasure Map Globes not doing anything when double clicking them & re-added missing Security context option

Boats

  • Fixed an issue with boat collision preventing line of sight in some cases for passengers or beings in the water & should also improve being randomly ejected to land while sailing
  • Fixed an issue with SOS shipwrecks not appearing
  • Added recent combat cooldown & criminal travel prevention to using a ship key's right-click option 'Teleport To Ship'
  • You can now target a ship key with the Recall spell to try to travel to the boat
  • Using Recall on a ship key does not incur the same cooldown as using the right-click option, allowing you to travel more frequently in some cases
  • You can now use the Teleport spell to teleport onto boats you have permission to board, as well as NPC ships (keep an eye out for Ghost ships soon!)

Halloween

  • Reduced the chance for Headless Horseman to spawn on a tameable mount, this was previously higher than intended
  • Added Throwable Pumpkin to the Candy Vendor's buy-back list

Halloween Costumes

  • Added a new Costume feature with over 50 variations of animals & monsters to collect
  • Comes as a blessed bag object with limited charges
  • Using the costume will shapeshift your character into the designated shape, similar to the Polymorph spell
  • Unlike Polymorph, costumes do not make you criminal and attackable by all, so you can wear your costumes and hangout in town safely
  • Costumes can be worn indefinitely throughout the Halloween season but they will fall off if you engage in combat, commit a crime, or die
  • Currently, these can be obtained from pop-up Halloween camps throughout the world

Halloween Additions & Improvements

  • Added new animated mummy, spider webs, spider eggs, torture rack & iron maiden house add-on options to the Headless Horseman Boss loot
  • Added an alternate Headless Horseman Sickle to the boss loot
  • Added Halloween Kilt to the Candy Vendor
  • Added the ability to sell some common Halloween 2022 clothing items to the Halloween Vendors in exchange for 1 Blood Candle or 25 Candy
  • Reduced decay time for invasion spawn mob corpses; corpses will now decay much more quickly to help avoid mass corpse pile-up, make sure to loot quickly!
  • Updated the direct-to-player loot tables damage threshold; previously you would have to do 1% damage to a mob in order to qualify for loot which was capped at 100 damage, going forward it will be explicitly 1% damage with no cap; this is to reduce & discourage abuse with hitting the boss a few times in order to qualify for loot

Golden Apples can now be found within some monsters loot in all dungeons. When you have enough of these apples they can be traded for a magic key at specific merchants within the world.

From time to time you may find a magic chest at your local bank and if you have a magic key you will be able to open it to find special loot.

The server is coming back online shortly! Unfortunately, there was an issue we could not recover from and the world-save needs to be rolled back 24 hours to Oct 9th at 9am UTC. We've tried everything in our power to prevent the roll-back, but it was beyond recovery. We apologize for the lost time and appreciate your patience and support through the rough patches.

We've identified an issue with the server and are working to get it back online ASAP. No ETA at this time. Thank you for your patience.

We've identified an issue causing a server crash sometimes in relation to in-game alerts being sent to Discord. Due to this, we will be turning off the Discord #server-alerts for a short time. We will soon be changing how alerts are delivered to Discord from in-game to resolve this. After the fix has been applied, you will notice that there may be a short delay before alerts are delivered to Discord, but otherwise, they will continue to work as usual. Thanks for your patience through the rough patches!

Halloween Invasions:

  • The Halloween Witch vendor is now available to buy spawn activators from in exchange for blood candles
  • Halloween invasion will be rotated periodically throughout the month to different locations
  • You can use the spawn activator's "Check Spawn Location" option to see where to use it

Skeletal Steeds:

  • Skeletal Horse added which requires no skill to ride, has a chance to be spawned as the Headless Horseman's mount from gravedigging
  • Stronger Skeletal Steed added, matches Nightmare stats & skills, has a chance to be spawned as the Headless Horseman Boss' mount from invasions
