In short

Release 133 has arrived, bringing a mix of quality-of-life improvements and seasonal updates to Shroud of the Avatar. Players will immediately notice it's snowing across Novia, and those anticipating the return of seasonal content can look forward to Envy Angel’s arrival on January 16th. Several fixes address issues with housing decorability in both Lord of the Manor and Viking Great Hall keeps, alongside corrections to visual elements like Dragon Neck Bones and gingerbread men on Yule trees.

This release also includes a number of smaller but welcome adjustments across the game world. Brittany has seen changes to town criers and factory access, while Grusk players with lingering tasks related to Abtreek should find resolution options available through dialogue. A new boulder has been added south of Brittany, and collision issues in Blood Bay have been addressed.

Notably, a temporary 11th anniversary event dungeon is now accessible via a randomly appearing portal on Novia, offering a preview of content planned for 2025. Sales events have concluded, returning the Crown Store to its standard pricing, and double XP has been disabled. A mysterious new portal has also appeared, leading players toward this limited-time experience.
