In short

Release 107 is now live and focuses heavily on content expansion and polish, particularly within the new Vikland adventuring scene. Players will find extensive changes in Vikland including numerous quest additions – a buried treasure hunt, NPC improvements with more dialogue options, updated terrain, props, and even floating body spawns for atmosphere. The area has been designated as Tier 8+ content, indicating challenging encounters. New runic monoliths have also been added to Vikland, Spindelskog, and Ulfheim allowing players to affect their virtues by offering runestones.

Beyond Vikland, the release includes several map additions for North Midmaer Way, Penmawr Island, and Vikland itself. World updates span numerous scenes with fixes for floating objects, typos in dialogue, collision issues, and quest progression blockers. Aether creatures have entered hibernation following the comet’s departure. Several Player-Owned Towns have seen upgrades – Gobi Rose to Town status, Mysteria from Metropolis to Municipality, and the addition of New Player Haven near Solace Bridge Outskirts alongside a new holdfast in Pirate's Cove.

Finally, this release addresses several smaller issues including item name corrections (Bug Brigade cloaks, Cat Ears store entry), decoration placement bugs, and stacking effects with potions. Quality-of-life improvements include the correction of typos across multiple quests and NPC interactions, as well as adjustments to vendor functionality and resource node placement.
