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!
