In short

Release 110 is now live, bringing a wide range of fixes and improvements to Shroud of the Avatar. The largest impact for many players will be the numerous world updates – snow has ended and rain has begun, alongside adjustments to NPC behavior, quest logic, and discoverable locations across nearly every major scene. Devotional Caretakers now provide more detailed feedback on a player’s virtues, and several scenes have received anti-theft protection in campsites.

Crafting sees the addition of new Gold and Copper Banded Chest recipes available from merchants, along with cosmetic items like a 25th anniversary PaxLair cloak. Several issues were addressed regarding item weight (removing it from Player Guides, Noble’s Orbs, and mounts) and display (cloaks now appear correctly while mounted). UI improvements include proper functionality for town bans and saved party nameplate positions.

Finally, this release includes a substantial number of smaller bug fixes addressing visual glitches, typos in dialogue, stuck spots, and issues with resource nodes. A recent subscriber reward bundle had some delivery problems which have been corrected; players who were missing an end table should receive it via in-game mail automatically. Overall, Release 110 focuses on polishing existing content and improving the overall player experience through quality of life changes and bug resolutions.

Crafting & Items (11)

  • Recipes for new Gold and Copper Banded Chests are now on deco merchants along the Perennial Coast and will be on carpenters everywhere after the first patch.
  • Added the recipe for croctails to merchants fed up with the crocs in swampy areas: Merriweather in Solania, Zoe Cornelly in Aerie, the General Stores in Mud, Tanglemire, and Westend; the Innkeepers in Smaragar and Grumridge, and Shandy Chapman traveling along the Perennial Coast.SOTA-71004
  • Cloaks will again appear while mounted if the player is displaying their cloak. It was previously removed because the cloak would be seen cutting through the mount and created problems when starting to swim while mounted. Now the cloak will cover the back of the mount. (This has a few exceptions that will be corrected for individual cloaks going forward, but even these should no longer go THROUGH the poor horse.)
