UPDATE: The server is back online now, sorry for the interruption!

  • If any are missing, the book will tell you exactly which ones. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n9wkwz6isZYhNM-tYdiIRskQRZxzBzxi/view?usp=drive_link

Season 5 is Now Live!

We are thrilled to announce that Season 5 is now live! We always appreciate your patience through transitions between events.

Thanks for being here and for your continued support!

Hail, adventurers!

We have two big changes. First, minibosses—those six roaming overland events—lose their reset timers, staying active until defeated, thanks to feedback from the community about foes vanishing mid-fight. When you slay one, a server-wide alert will herald your triumph, ensuring glory and loot for hearty groups. Second, the Lord’s Boon (Hearthstone) is now granted to all new characters at creation—no quest needed, though Lord Seymour’s task remains in Britain Castle. It lets positive-Karma innocents teleport to a bound town (set in any inn), even in combat, with a 2-hour cooldown. A new autofix makes the Lord’s Boon "no-drop," meaning it cannot be removed from your backpack.

These updates prepare us for Season 5’s launch tomorrow, March 20, 2025, making Britannia more rewarding and accessible. The revised Guide to Britannia - Lord’s Boon in new players’ packs explains its use, while miniboss battles become epic tests of skill. Share your thoughts via Discord or /feedback—we’re already planning more! May your journeys be bold and safe, heroes!

Test Center - New Ancient Bulk Order Book – Improved Storage & Organization!

• Holds up to 5,000 Bulk Orders – Keep your BODs organized in one place!
• Easy Transfer – Drop a normal Bulk Order Book onto it to instantly transfer all Bulk Orders.
• Large BOD Completion Helper – A new checkmark icon appears below the remove icon on Large Bulk Orders:
  • Click it, and the book will search for the Small BODs needed to complete the Large BOD.
  • If you have all the required deeds, you'll get a prompt to remove them.
  • If any are missing, the book will tell you exactly which ones.
  • This book will be available on the donation store (first) and also by crafting (soon after) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n9wkwz6isZYhNM-tYdiIRskQRZxzBzxi/view?usp=drive_link

Top o’ the mornin’ to ye, and a grand St. Patrick’s Day it be! I know originally we wouldn’t be stirrin’ the pot o’ mischief—us leprechauns swore to keep our tricks tucked safe beneath the rainbow’s end, guardin’ our gold from meddlin’ hands. But the winds o’ the Emerald Isle whispered otherwise, and the ol’ St. Paddy himself must’ve nudged us to share a bit o’ chaos with ye mortals! So, we’ve conjured up a wee spontaneous event fer ye—but beware, ‘tis laced with our famous trickery, and frustration may be yer companion! This mischief’ll be runnin’ fer the next 24 hours, so ye’ve got ‘til the shamrock moon rises again to join the fun!

Special Explodin’ Barrels, enchanted by me own mischievous hands, be sproutin’ like shamrocks all o’er the Town o’ Paws. They’ll vanish in a puff o’ green smoke after a mere minute, so ye’d best be quick! Use these barrels, if ye dare, to try yer luck at blastin’ open one o’ the two ancient wells ‘round Paws—one nigh the Brit Bridge, the other by Colleen the Gypsy’s camp. These wells, ye see, be hidin’ secrets older than me pot o’ gold!

Crack one open, and ye might just snag a Puzzle Chest, brimmin’ with rare leprechaun loot—trinkets and treasures straight from the end o’ the rainbow. But mind ye, ‘tis no easy feat, for we leprechauns love a good riddle and a better laugh! So grab yer shillelagh, chase the luck o’ the Irish, and may the green winds o’ fortune blow yer way!

Greetings, fearless adventurers of Britannia!

A grand new chapter is nearly upon us, and we’re ecstatic to announce the arrival of season five on Thursday, March 20, 2025! As the realm pulses with fresh energy, prepare for thrilling challenges, bold adventures, and a bounty of incredible rewards to seize.

🏰 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
