    • Harpies that previously spawned alongside drakes have been moved to an area outside Covetous.
    • Fire Elementals and Dragons now spawn alongside the drakes, offering a tougher challenge.
  • Yew Peninsula (NW of Shame)

    • This region has been overrun by the undead.

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

Exciting New Additions to Shards of Britannia!

Greetings, adventurers!

We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates and additions to Shards of Britannia:

Rare Magic Hat Recipes:

Discover a touch of magic with our newly added rare, one-time-use recipes for crafting magic hats! These extraordinary hats grant unique effects when casting the Recall spell, offering adventurers a new way to enhance their journeys.

These rare recipes can now be found on the following mini-bosses:

Flain, Talornia, Burzum, Bonn and Arcadion.

In addition to the new recipes, these mini-bosses have received loot table updates, so make sure to challenge them and uncover their new treasures!

Additionally, players disarmed by a thief can no longer commit suicide to give the thief a murder count. These changes aim to refine the balance and dynamic interactions between thieves and their targets, fostering more engaging gameplay.

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.

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.
