🏰 A Royal Proclamation from Lord Reginald of Britannia 🏰
Loyal citizens, hear ye!
In an effort to cleanse our fair realm of both crime and unseemly waste, Lord Reginald proudly announces a new rehabilitation initiative for the wayward souls of Britannia. Those whose hands have been stained with blood now have a chance to cleanse their sins—both metaphorically and literally!
The Program: Convicted murderers may reduce their criminal standing by performing an essential public service: collecting 50 pieces of feces from the streets of any town within Britannia. A noble act of penance, this will not only aid our sanitation efforts but also grant these lost souls the opportunity to reclaim their honor.
The Reward: Upon successful completion, one murder charge shall be forgiven, allowing the reformed to walk a step closer toward redemption in the eyes of Britannia. This task may be undertaken once every 24 hours.
Where to Begin: Those seeking to participate should seek out Lord Reginald in the town of Paws and pledge themselves to this task.
Britannia thrives on justice — but it also values redemption. Let this be a lesson that even the most wretched can find their way back to the light!
Signed,
🏰 Lord Reginald of Britannia
We're currently experiencing issues with one of our servers. We will provide updates as soon as we have more information.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We have removed the sound effects from the water fountains. Please relog for this change to take effect.
You can now use Exploding Barrels to blow open a wider variety of objects throughout the world, revealing loot inside. Happy exploring!
Unfortunately due to a data integrity issue, we have had to roll back to the last known good save at 01:30 UTC. We apologise for this inconvenience, however if we had not done this, there would have been data loss for various players.
Thank you for your understanding.
Talismans with charges will unequip when logging into Britannia unless they are blessed. "A surge of protective magic in this realm has caused your charged talismans to lose their grip on you, unequipping them as you enter."
Drop rates for grave-digging, mining, and lumberjacking rares have been increased.
The server experienced an issue after the daily restart and it will be restored soon. Thanks for your patience!

White Wyrm Improvements
The White Wyrm, a once-feared magical beast, has struggled to compete with Dragons due to its weaker overall performance. In this update, we've enhanced its spellcasting capabilities to make it a powerful and distinct caster pet, while keeping its core stats intact.
This is a reminder that Daylight Savings Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025. Clocks will be set forward by one hour, which may affect how game times, events, and restarts appear in your local timezone.
Please note that our servers operate on UTC timezone, and neither the server time nor in-game activity schedules will change with the start of DST. All events and restarts will continue to occur at the same times in UTC. However, due to the DST change, the time at which these activities appear in your local timezone may have shifted.
Since DST adjustments occur at different times in various regions, we recommend checking your local time against UTC to ensure you stay on track with event schedules.
Thank you for your attention and understanding. We look forward to seeing you in-game!
We've restarted the server to clear out some cobwebs that were lingering in the connection. The server should be back online now or within a few minutes. Sorry for the interruption and thanks for your patience!
UPDATE: The connectivity issue with users in Europe is now resolved, you should be able to log in again as normal. If you have any further connection issues please let us know, thanks for your patience!
We're currently experiencing issues with one of our providers serving the European market. Our team has submitted a detailed ticket, including specific player feedback, to expedite troubleshooting. While we're optimistic about a swift resolution, please note that it may take up to 24 hours (or longer) to fully restore service. We will provide updates as soon as we have more information.
Note: Some users have reported that connecting via a VPN from outside the affected region can serve as a temporary workaround.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The decay timer for murder counts is now more punishing initially, scaling down as your murder count increases.
New decay thresholds:
These changes are designed to impose harsher penalties for smaller murder counts (making it tougher early on) while gradually reducing decay times for higher counts.
Large red cacti can now be found in the desert; they can be exploded with exploding barrels for loot.
Sable, the infiltrator who offers the Crystal Activation Cart quest, now offers an Ethereal Emberfang mount for 10 quest tokens.
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:
We hope you enjoy these changes and look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue to improve the game world!

The chance to fish up rare items in the weekly safe dungeon has been reduced, while it has been increased in the daily dungeon; normal dungeons remain unchanged.
New loot has been added to MIBs.
Summoners’ Dark Guardians and Strange Gazers stats have been adjusted to improve overall balance.
Some improvements have been made to the Fowl Frenzy event: exploding barrels now have a larger range, killing chickens and turkeys no longer counts as killing orcs, and Nuke will now decay in 2 hours instead of 1 hour.
Mining and lumberjacking will now only have a chance to drop little rocks, golden apples, and rare decorative mushrooms. When ore elementals and reapers are killed, they will now give players a chance to receive large, heavy items like Britannia crystals and weapon caches.
Bulk order deeds weight have been adjusted from 5 down to 1.
Thank you all for the feedback.

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.
Players can now purchase an ethereal parrot mount inside Britain Bank; it will cost 300 Fowl Frenzy Feathers. While mounted on the parrot, players have a chance to receive some unique loot when killing Fowl Frenzy monsters.
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.
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!
