The Royal Guard has issued a critical update concerning the Horse and Cart Delivery Quest. The infected zombies have mutated into much larger and more dangerous creatures. Their rotting zombie arms have become so heavy that adventurers will now require a cart to safely transport them.
Noa, the Royal Guard, has directed that all adventurers participating in the quest must now use their carts to deliver both the royal key and six rotting zombie hands to Zarx. This adjustment is crucial in light of the increased weight and difficulty of handling these larger zombie limbs.
In response to these new challenges, new rare loot has been added to the rewards for completing the quest. While this additional treasure isn’t guaranteed, those who succeed may be rewarded with exclusive and valuable items.
Prepare your carts and your courage for this perilous journey.
Good luck, and may fortune smile upon you as you embark on this Quest.

- Introducing the New Thief Traps in Shards of Britannia!
In this update, we're excited to unveil a brand new feature that will add a thrilling layer of danger and strategy to your adventures! Thieves now have the ability to set devious traps on the ground outside of guarded and housing zones, lying in wait for unsuspecting victims.
These traps are not permanent; they decay after 20 minutes, so timing is everything. But beware—once you've set a trap, you'll need to wait three minutes before you can place another. The risk is high, but so are the rewards!
If a player riding a horse and cart unknowingly triggers a trap, they'll be swiftly dismounted, and the contents of their cart will spill onto the ground, ripe for the taking. However, savvy adventurers can protect themselves from this fate with special talismans scattered throughout the world. These talismans offer a chance to shield your loot from the trap's effects, making them a valuable asset for anyone traveling with precious cargo.

Painting and Banner Rescale Scrolls can now be fished up in the moat, although they are still rare.

The tables have turned! Head to Buccaneer's Den, where chaos reigns as the chickens and turkeys strike back. The Barrel Vendor near the bank offers exploding barrels to defend yourself, but beware—these birds aren't going down without a fight!

And don't forget to bring your horse and carts for any heavy loot that may drop from the boss!
