In short

Release 124 is now live, bringing a variety of smaller improvements and fixes across Shroud of the Avatar. A core focus appears to be quality of life adjustments, with several corrections made to crafting recipes, ingredient visibility, and item descriptions – particularly for Books of Learning. Players will find new decorative options like Chicken spawners and the Shogun Stool available for Player Owned Town placement, alongside salvage patterns for the Explorer’s Shovel.

Combat players should note that Bard Specialization now requires level 80 in the base Bard skill, aligning it with other specializations. World updates include numerous collision fixes and terrain adjustments across several zones like Brittany Estates and Blackblade Foothills, resolving stuck spots and visual inconsistencies. Respawning at the Sequanna Colossus has also been standardized to match the behavior of other Colossus scenes.

Beyond these changes, Release 124 marks the end of several timed events including double XP and sales related to Crowns of the Obsidians and discounted POT upgrades. New timed fireworks events have been added throughout the year, and Shearwater Island has been officially upgraded to City status. Finally, a number of store items have had their categorization adjusted for easier browsing.
