⚔️ Faction Challenges Are Here! ⚔️

Tired of random skirmishes? Ready for real faction warfare with actual stakes? Faction Challenges let you call out a rival, defend your base (or hit theirs), fight for a prized chest, and climb the server-wide scoreboard. Stack up enough wins and your whole faction unlocks rare rewards at the Faction Coin Vendor.

The Challenge Stone

Every faction base has a Challenge Stone — this is where it all begins and where you answer when someone else throws down the gauntlet.

Glance at the stone to quickly see what’s happening:

• Red — A challenge has been issued and is still waiting for someone to accept it.
• Blue — A challenge was accepted. The fight is live (countdown, chest phase, or full battle window).

You can also open the Challenge Scoreboard directly from the stone to view wins, upcoming faction rewards, and recent results.

Issuing a Challenge

Rally enough of your faction members at your own Challenge Stone.

Choose Start Faction Challenge. The whole server hears about it. A rival faction then has 20 minutes to accept at their stone (not yours).

If nobody accepts in time
The challenge simply expires. You’re not stuck waiting for hours — you can try again whenever you’re ready.

If you want to cancel early
Use Cancel Faction Challenge. Your faction then has a short 5-minute cooldown before you can issue another one.

Accepting a Challenge

When another faction has thrown down the gauntlet, gather enough members at your own Challenge Stone.

Choose Accept Faction Challenge. Everyone gets the news — it’s on. You cannot accept your own faction’s challenge; only a rival can answer the call.

Once accepted, both sides have 10 minutes to prepare before the Faction Challenge Chest appears at the issuing faction’s base.

How the Fight Plays Out

1. The Call (up to 20 minutes) — One faction issues the challenge. Rival stones glow red while they wait for a response or for time to run out.
2. The Rally (10 minutes) — Challenge accepted. Stones turn blue. Both factions know the clock is ticking and prepare.
3. The Chest — A Faction Challenge Chest spawns at the issuing faction’s base. A fresh alert goes out so everyone can converge.
4. The Hour (60 minutes) — The challenge stays fully active. Stones remain blue for the entire period.
5. The Finish — Someone claims the chest, or time and chaos decide the outcome.

Who Can Open the Chest?

This is the heart of the fight.

If your faction issued the challenge (Defenders):
You cannot open the reward chest during the first 60 minutes. Your job is to defend your base and stop the other side from looting it. After the hour passes, the restriction lifts — but a fast-moving rival may have already taken everything.

If your faction accepted the challenge (Attackers):
You are the aggressors. During that same first hour you can fight for and open the chest (after its short initial lock period expires to give both sides time to arrive). You do not have to wait the full hour — strike while you have the advantage.

Winning the Chest (and the Scoreboard)

The standard path to a scoreboard win:

• A member of the accepting faction opens the chest during their allowed window.
• That faction completely empties the chest (not just a quick peek).

When the chest is emptied, the accepting faction earns the win on the scoreboard, the server announces the victory, and the event ends.

Issuing a challenge and then waiting out the full hour before you can even touch the chest is a gamble — a determined attacking force can often loot it long before your access opens.

Cooldowns in Plain English

• Nobody accepted your challenge? — No cooldown. You’re free to issue another one whenever you’re ready.
• You cancelled before anyone accepted? — Short 5-minute faction cooldown, then you can try again.
• Someone accepted your challenge? — Your faction gets an 8-hour cooldown before it can issue another challenge.
• Any challenge was accepted on the server? — For the next 1 hour, no faction can start a brand-new challenge. This stops wars from stacking on top of each other.
• Your faction won and emptied the chest? — The fight ends early so life on the shard can get back to normal sooner.

The Scoreboard

At your Challenge Stone, choose View Challenge Scoreboard to see:

• How many challenges each faction has won
• Special Item Unlocks — the progressive rewards your faction can earn at the Faction Coin Vendor as wins add up (you only see the next unlock until the previous one is claimed)
• Recent history of who challenged whom and who claimed the chest

Worth checking before your next war council.

Rally your people, pick your rivals, and let the challenges begin. Which faction will rise to the top?

We created a summary of all the exciting stuff that happened between the end of 2023 and spring 2026 for all returning and less-regular players. Happy reading — it’s a lot!

https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/news-summary2024-11_2026-04

Recently there has been an issue with the Discord Support Bot (emergency support threads) giving an error when trying to start a new ticket in some cases. This issue has been resolved and new tickets should be able to be created again immediately. Sorry for the issues! It seems there was an update to the Ticketer bot and we needed to apply some changes to get it working again. Thanks for your patience.

We will be temporarily disabling the Minax faction, reducing the game to two active factions: True Britannians and Shadowlords. For the next two weeks, Minax members can leave their faction and instantly join either True Britannians or Shadowlords. To resign, stand outside the front gates of the Minax base and say “I wish to resign from this faction.” A vendor will be added shortly after that will allow you to trade in your Minax faction gear for silver. Once the overall faction player base grows, we will consider reactivating the Minax faction.

Hear Ye, Adventurers! Season 7 is coming to an end soon, and time is running short to collect any missing points before the season closes. Season 8 will begin on May 1st, bringing new rewards (and new visual designs for the reward chests :-) ). Make sure to finish your progress before the season ends!

🗺️ Resource Maps

Resource Maps are now available in Britannia! These special items drop from dungeon monsters and lead adventurers to hidden resource camps scattered across the land, offering a new way to obtain rare and valuable materials.

🔺 Harder monsters have an increased chance of dropping a map, and bosses are guaranteed to drop at least one!

Three map types are available:

• ⛏️ Ore Maps (8 tiers) — yielding ores from Dull Copper up to Valorite
• 🪵 Lumber Maps (6 tiers) — uncovering rare woods including Bloodwood, Frostwood, and Heartwood
• 🐾 Leather Maps (5 tiers) — rewarding Spined, Horned, Barbed, Infernal, and Dragonhide leathers

Higher level maps require greater Cartography skill to decipher and yield rarer materials. A Spyglass is needed to read a map, and the appropriate harvesting tool — pickaxe, hatchet, or skinning knife — is required to extract resources from the camp.

Resource piles have a limited number of charges, so make the most of every find! 🗡️

Wiki Page:

• https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/ResourceMaps

This Easter, all faction players who participate in 10 Faction Pillar events and meet the requirements to receive a reward in each match will receive unique Easter loot at the end of the 10th match. This ends on the 28th of April.

7th Annual Easter Events

We’re excited to announce our 7th Annual Easter celebration in-game, packed with festive activities and rewards for everyone to enjoy.

Event Highlights

• 🥚 Egg Hunt: Eggs can be found throughout Britannia and contain Fabled Carrots or other surprises, redeemable at the Easter Vendor.
• 👹 Easter Paragon Monsters: These may randomly spawn in place of normal monsters, offering bonus chances to earn carrots and special items.
• 🥕 Previous years’ Easter Carrots can continue to be used in all Easter events going forward.
• ✨ A few new and rare drops have also been added for this year’s Easter activities.
• 🏦 Note: The Easter Vendor is on duty at Britannia’s bank.

Additional Features

• 🐇 Killing regular rabbits may trigger a Vorpal Bunny spawn, which rewards additional carrots and loot.
• 🧩 Egg Riddles remain updated with quality-of-life improvements:
  • You can request a Hint to help solve a riddle.
  • A Skip option lets you bypass a riddle once per egg.
• 🥚 New for 2026: A new Golden Egg Hunt quest is now live. Speak to Tails near Britain Bank to begin collecting stolen golden eggs from greater dragons in Destard, Exploding Wells, or Easter puzzle chests, and earn a magical Easter wand when the quest is complete.

ℹ️ Ongoing Updates

We’ll continue adding more items and activities as time allows, so keep an eye out for additions during the event.

Event Dates for 2026

• 📅 Event begins: April 2, 2026 at 9:00 AM
• 📅 Event ends: April 28, 2026 at 9:00 AM

We hope you have time to log in, participate, and enjoy the festivities. See you there!

Tails, the Easter Bunny’s helper, is offering a special Easter quest.

He can be found near Britain Bank. He needs your help to recover the magical golden eggs that were stolen by a mischievous pixie and given to the greater dragons in Destard.

Slay the dragons, retrieve the eggs, and deliver them to the Easter Bunny’s helpers to restore balance to the Easter celebrations. Once you have delivered all the eggs, return to Tails to claim your reward, a magical Easter wand! The magic wand can change the color of any rabbit in the world.

Alternatively, if you prefer not to fight dragons, you can find the golden eggs by blowing open wells during the Exploding Wells event and opening unique Easter puzzle chests. However, you still need to have the quest active!

New Changes

• All faction pillar locations now have chests inside each faction’s base. Players can store items in these chests to use in the events.
• Paragon monster gold now has a cap of 6,000. Wearing the Fortune Favor amulet increases the cap to 8,000.

Changes

• Added training weapons to the game
• Fixed a big with unwavering stance that would allow infinite stat gains
• Modified the chance of armor pieces to be hit so the chest is hit slightly less
• Updated herding to be a passive skill
• Added secondary skill bonuses for melee skills Macing and Fencing
• Added PvE Bonuses to the Arms Lore skill to make it more useful overall
• Fixed an issue with players not receiving items from the Black Goods Vendor.
• The item fixer now repairs broken exploding barrels.
• Loot for the Ancient Reaper Boss has been updated.
• The Moonglow Pirate Invasion event has been completely refreshed! It now features new visual effects, catapults, new mobs, and improved loot.

• Clockwork golems can now be stabled.

• The Moonglow Pirate Invasion event has been refreshed! It now includes catapults that players can use to attack the invaders. The pirates now bring with them special rock giants that can only be killed from catapult rocks!
• Increased PvE stealing drop rates for thief coins.
• Arms Lore Identification Fix : Fixed an issue where heavily repaired items would incorrectly display as "brand new" when inspected. The skill now correctly accounts for an item's repair history and maximum durability loss.
• Bounty Hunters and Murderers are now equally restricted from all forms of teleportation for 5 minutes after engaging in combat with each other. The Bounty Hunters' bola has been nerfed and no longer grants an increased chance.
• Tommy's Lost Apron Quest (young players) fixed: Rewarded horses can now be stabled.
• Bear Hunter Quest (young players) adjusted to 10 black and 10 brown bears.
• Drop rate of skull tokens in the new player dungeons increased.

We continue to work on the elusive crash bug that is keeping us offline and will update here with more information when we have it. Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE: We've rolled back (per https://shardsofbritannia.com/news/server-update-march-23-2026) and the server is back online!

Hey everyone,

We've rolled the server back to its state from Thursday, March 19th (9 AM UTC restart) as a precaution. We identified some recent changes that may have been causing stability issues, and we want to make sure everything is running smoothly for you.

What this means:

• The server has been restored to the last confirmed stable version from Thursday morning
• This includes character data and world saves — any progress made after Thursday's 9 AM UTC restart will unfortunately be lost
• Recent code changes have been temporarily removed and will be re-introduced gradually as we verify each one

We know losing progress is frustrating, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This was a necessary step to ensure server stability and protect the game experience for everyone going forward.

We'll keep you posted as updates are re-deployed over the coming days.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
