A new mini-boss, the Rat King, has stormed into the Rat Fort in Level 1 Dungeon ICE. This acid-spitting menace is tough to beat, hurling corrosive acid that tests even the hardiest adventurers. Defeating him promises rich rewards, with whispers of rare treasures like enchanted gear and magical talismans hidden in his icy lair. Grab your crew, dodge the acid, and take down the Rat King—glory and loot await the brave!

This is just a brief announcement with regards to the notice of Legends of Aria Classic sunsetting. At this time, this does not affect Shards of Britannia and we will continue to operate unless otherwise notified.

For full transparency, work on moving to our own login server is almost complete. We'll announce more when we are closer to that goal.

Just to repeat again - we do not expect any impact on Shards of Britannia from the announcement that Legends of Aria is sunsetting. We are sad to see the project come to an end as it is the foundation of everything we have built here with Shards of Britannia, and we wish Supreem and co all the best for the future.

  • New assets for various monsters have been added to the game.

  • Thief coins are no longer considered blessed.

  • When mounted, players will experience a decreased chance of successfully stealing from monsters.


14th Feb 2025 patchnote

Grandmaster blacksmiths can now craft a Masterwork Catalyst—a special item that upgrades normal magical gear (weapons, armor, and instruments) to exceptional quality. Required ingredients drop in small quantities from certain monsters, with higher-difficulty foes increasing your odds.

Gather the materials, unleash the catalyst, and elevate your equipment to new heights!

9th Jan 2025 knownissue

The Garnet Dyes have been re-added to the Donation Dyetub Vendors at Yew Bank until Jan 17th and an issue has been fixed that caused them to become unavailable at the start of the year.


9th Jan 2025 patchnote

The current option to collect a single bulk order deed every 6 hours has been replaced with the ability to collect 21 bulk order deeds, with a cooldown of 6 days and 17 hours.

This change serves two purposes: it gives more casual players the opportunity to engage with the Bulk Order system and frees up additional time for players to focus on other aspects of the game.

This change will go live after the server restart.
