Thanks to everyone participating in the Halloween events and activities, we hope you've enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you. We look forward to doing more in the near future.
More evil mages have appeared in Britannia, summoning creatures from beyond the veil between worlds. Their conjuring ways seem to be learned from an ancient tome whose origins are unknown....
[A new method of unlocking the Summoner's Tome has entered Britannia]
All Town/Faction Stones have had their states reset again. We believe we have fixed the root cause of the ongoing sigil issues, but ask once more for you all to give it a go! Timers are all once again set at one hour so it will be easy to test. You may still recall with the stone for the moment.
Global messages still need some tweaking.
An item called the Skull of Hallows Eve has been added to the Halloween Candy vendor. This item will allow you to activate the Cove invasion spawn at the Black Gate in North Cove. The spawn requires 6 players total to start it, so you will need 5 other players to be near the spawn with you when trying to activate, only one skull is needed per invasion. There is a 2-hour cooldown between spawns and the encounter needs to be finished within 4 hours or it will deactivate and reset automatically. The spawn will be available until Nov 8th. Looting Rights is now skipped for the ending boss as well.
A Faction store has been added to town stones- usable when your faction controls a town. This store is used to spend your personal silver on items for yourself. Currently two items are for sale, and more will be added soon:
Additional sigil capture bugs have been squashed as well. More to come!
After next restart, the Lone Wolf Cloak, Cloak of the Dragon Slayer, and Citizen Cloak should no longer fail constantly upon crafting.
Halloween Mask rares should now (potentially pending a restart) utilize the Mask equip slot instead of Head slot- thus they will be wearable over armor.
Arcadion, an evil and powerful daemon, has crossed the veil between worlds and is plotting terrible endeavors that may endanger the citizens of Britannia. Brave warriors: take up arms and defeat this most evil foe!
The Summoner's Tome is now live and in game! It may be acquired by defeating Arcadion, a brand new boss. The Summoner's Tome requires 60.1+ Spirit Speak and Magery to use and can contain 7 brand new summons! Details on the Summoner's Tome can be found here: https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/summoners-tome
Faction ranks are available on Discord for the new factions- simply run /rank rankname to add your faction role.
Available ranknames are:
The Black Gate Model will be returning to the transition token vendor shortly! Check after next restart.
The new Factions system is now live! Faction Stones and Town Stones have been placed in the world. Players wishing to join a Faction should visit that faction's Faction Stone.
Details about the Factions system are outlined here: https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/factions
Faction Stone and Town Stone locations have been added to the official map under the Faction category: https://map.shardsofbritannia.com/
Gravedigging is now live! Check out the details here https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/gravedigging Throughout the duration of the Halloween Event, Gravedigging will offer chances to yield more candy and items!
In other news, there have been numerous reports of Halloween forces assembling in what appears to be preparations for large-scale battle. They may be planning to siege one of the towns soon, so keep your eyes peeled and stay vigilant!
The new Factions system is about to launch- in preparation, we have removed existing factions from all characters and removed the faction leaders as well. Hold tight while we get everything prepped!
The bravest warriors have fought valiantly in our server-wide PVP tournament, and only four remain: Vega Pepega, Theko, Carmen Sandiego and Havagrim.
On Saturday, November 13th at 16:00 UTC (That's noon American East Coast), the final four will duke it out at the Colosseum, one on one, until a champion is crowned!
Please join us at the Colosseum for this event! After the winner has been declared, a free-for-all Battle Royale will occur, which any player may join. The winner of this event will receive a prize as well!
