In short

Release 105 is now live, bringing a variety of fixes and improvements to Shroud of the Avatar. A significant focus this release appears to be on quality-of-life adjustments across the game world, with numerous pathing corrections for NPCs in areas like Brittany, Celestis, and Estgard. Several visual issues have also been addressed, including z-fighting in Grusk, floating objects on the West Perennial Trail, and lighting problems in Estgard’s Yellow Sow tavern.

Players involved in taming will be pleased to see adjustments made to the Belt of Control, with further fixes planned for its Tame Critical Hit Damage Multiplier, as well as corrections applied to Legacy Boots and Helms to match modern stat values. Resource node XP scaling has been fixed, ensuring appropriate rewards based on scene tier.

Beyond these core changes, Release 105 includes continued support for Player-Owned Towns with the upgrade of Traveller’s Rest to Metropolis status and the addition of two new POTs: CICI’s Trading Post near Brittany and Isle of Light north of Soltown. Several quest markers have been refined and minor UI improvements implemented, along with additions to the store and helpful responses from guards in Outskirts scenes regarding guilds.
