Since we’ve been adding many new features and not all of them warrant a dedicated news item, we’ll start providing a kind of changelog. This will take the form of a news page, initiated at the beginning of each month, where smaller changes and additions will be continuously documented (revisit this page regularly). The first changelog is for June, but it also includes some updates from May.
List of changes:
Hail, adventurers! Due to the roaring success of our last Paws explosion fest, we’re cranking up the chaos with a brand-new, heart-pounding event! This is no ordinary rerun—it’s bigger, badder, and bursting with madness! Get ready for 24 hours of non-stop action this weekend!
Keep your eyes peeled for Special Exploding Barrels popping up across the Town of Paws. These barrels are slippery—they’ll vanish in just 60 seconds, so sprint to snag one! Use them to blast open one of the two wells in Paws: one near the Brit Bridge, the other by Colleen the Gypsy. This time, we’ve got Guaranteed-Break Barrels—rare, barrels that will crack those stubborn wells open on the first try!
Smash a well, and you could score a Puzzle Chest stuffed with even more rare loot than before. But beware—bigger explosions mean more ferocious monsters guarding the wells, ready to test your mettle. These wells are tough nuts to crack, so bring your patience and determination!
Check our official discord for all the information!
We are aware of the login issues (error 100) that some users are experiencing due to an issue with the Legends of Aria login server. We've alerted those involved with the LoA Team and have been told that the issue is being actively worked on. However, we don't currently have an ETA for a fix, we are hopeful it will be fixed as quickly as possible. We do apologise for the convenience, and thank you for your patience!
Please note: Players have found success logging in eventually after a short time. If you see this error, please try again in a few minutes.
Hail, everyone! We’re throwing a curveball with a spontaneous burst of mayhem! No fancy prep, just a straight-up, off the cuff event to keep things lively. This chaos is live for the next 24 hours, so get in on it before it’s history!
Stay sharp for Special Exploding Barrels spawning all over the Town of Paws. These things are quick they’ll vanish in 60 seconds flat, so move fast! Grab one and use it to try blasting open one of the two wells in Paws one near the Brit Bridge, the other close by to Colleen the gypsys camp. These wells are not easy to blow open and may take many attempts!
Crack one open, and you might snag a Puzzle Chest packed with rare loot. But fair warning, these wells are tricky and will test your patience!
Hail, Adventurers of Britannia!
The winds of change sweep through our lands, bringing new opportunities and enhancements to your adventures. Heed these tidings from the realm's scribes, for they bring news of great import!
Faction Pillars Now Player-Driven! The tides of battle shift as Faction Pillars bend to the will of the bold! Faction members may now ignite the spark of conflict by activating the event directly from their Faction Stone, provided at least two warriors from opposing factions stand ready online. The old, rigid schedule of Faction Pillars is no more—take command of your destiny and rally your allies to claim victory when the time is right!
Thieves, Sharpen Your Wits! To those who tread the shadows, the Black Market whispers of new treasures. What mysteries await the cunning? Slip into the night and find out!
Horse and Cart Delivery Quest Expanded! The roads buzz with activity as the Horse and Cart Delivery Quest welcomes new rewards! Among them, the elegant White Picket Fencing stands ready to adorn your homesteads. Embark on these quests to claim these fine additions and enhance your holdings.
Item Fixer: Wisp Jars Renewed! Seek the Item Fixer, that master of mending, for those troubled by a faulty Wisp Jar. Bring your broken Vanity Wisp Jar or Corrupted Wisp Jar to this NPC, who will exchange it for a pristine version, gleaming with a brand-new asset to light your path.
Candles Rekindled with New Splendor! The Item Fixer also offers a boon to those with candles old and new. Whether you hold a Halloween Blood Candle or any candle matching the style show in the attached picture, trade it with the Item Fixer for an updated version, crafted with a refined asset that burns brighter than ever. Visit and restore your candles to their full glory!

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!
— The Shards of Britannia Team
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!
There's an unexpected outage with the Legends of Aria services preventing players from logging into the game right now. We've alerted those involved and hope the issue is resolved quickly, thanks for your patience!
