In short

Release 131 is now live, bringing a variety of fixes and additions to Shroud of the Avatar. This patch focuses heavily on improving the player experience through world polish—expect corrections to stuck spots, collision issues, and visual errors across numerous locations including Brittany Fields, Ulfheim, and Tenebris Harbor. Several NPC interactions have also been tweaked, with minor dialogue updates for characters like Liva in Vikland.

A key feature of this release is the expansion of dungeon cellar options. New recipes and blueprints are available from booksellers and the Crown Store, offering players more customization choices for their dungeons. Existing content has received attention as well; the Pristine Spider Room now lives up to its name, and reward chests in Brittany Sewers will restock after successful encounters.

Seasonal events continue with Pumpkin Head departing Drachvald and Krampus’s imminent return to East Sanctus Forest on November 16th, while aether creatures begin hibernation later this month. Finally, Cassiopeia has been upgraded to Village status, marking progress for player-owned towns. The deed upgrade sale has ended, along with associated Crown Store discounts.
