In short
Release 132 is now live, bringing a collection of fixes and small improvements to Shroud of the Avatar. The most immediately noticeable change for many players will be the addition of the Yule Stocking recipe available from housing decoration merchants in Regalis, kicking off this year’s seasonal decorating opportunities. Several player-owned towns have seen changes – Cassiopeia has been upgraded to a Crossroads Village and Saxon's Landing is now officially a Town, while Brittany Fort has unfortunately been removed as a Player Owned Town.
Beyond these highlights, the release focuses heavily on quality of life improvements across various zones. Numerous collision issues preventing placement of tents in dungeons have been resolved, and several quest-related bugs in Grusk have been addressed, specifically regarding access to locations and journal entry clarity. The development team also tackled environmental concerns like out-of-place trees, jagged puddles, and inaccessible areas in Jotungrund, Norgard Fens, Ruined Keep, and Sawtooth Thicket.
Finally, the seasonal aether creatures have entered hibernation following the comet’s departure, and the Crown Store has returned to its standard 20% sale rate after the conclusion of the Crowns of the Obsidians promotion. A number of minor UI fixes, including correct icons for holiday items, round out this update.
