In short
Release 125 is now live, bringing a variety of fixes and smaller improvements across Shroud of the Avatar. A key focus this release appears to be quality of life for player towns and decorating; furniture placement issues with Plesiosaurs and toilets have been addressed, plus new decorative items like Cushioned Seats are available on the Perennial Coast. Several stacking and dye slot problems have also been resolved.
Combat players will be pleased to learn that both small frogs and all wyverns in the Well of Aldur can now be tamed. The release also sets the stage for upcoming seasonal events, with the Arch Lapin going dormant in May and Aether Dragons awakening later in the month.
Beyond these highlights, a significant number of bug fixes have been implemented throughout various zones – including stuck spots, typos in quest text, and NPC spawning issues in The Rise. Player-Owned Towns see continued development with Sionann moving locations and becoming a Metropolis, alongside the addition of a new hamlet, Ocllo. Finally, several Crown Store items have been adjusted, including the long-awaited arrival of the Antique Broom Decoration Pet.
