We’ve revamped the disarm mechanics for thieves! Here’s how it works now:

When a thief attempts to disarm their victim, the system will first target the victim’s weapon. If the weapon is insured or blessed, it will be skipped. The thief will then randomly attempt to disarm an item from any other equipped slot, including Head, Chest, Legs, Left Hand, Cloak, Necklace, Mask, and Ring. If an item in a targeted slot is insured or blessed, the system will skip it and move on to another slot until an eligible item is found or all options are exhausted.

If the thief successfully disarms an item from their victim, they can immediately follow up with a blind steal attempt. This steal will automatically take the disarmed item, giving thieves a rewarding payoff for a successful disarm.

As part of our ongoing efforts to make hunting more fun and challenging, we’ve updated another key area:

Hedge Maze

  • The undead that once roamed these corridors have been driven out.
  • Daemons, Hell Hounds, Fire Gargoyles, and Fire Imps now hold dominion here.
  • At the maze’s center, the fearsome Balron—among the most powerful daemons—has returned to Sosaria.

We hope you enjoy these changes and look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue to improve the game world!

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.
