In short

Release 135 is now live, bringing a collection of fixes and smaller improvements to Shroud of the Avatar. The patch focuses heavily on world polish, addressing numerous stuck spots across many zones including Brittany Alleys, Despair, East Sanctus Forest, and Xenos. Terrain adjustments have also been made in Krampusgarten to improve NPC pathing, and several object placements were corrected to resolve accessibility issues or visual glitches.

Players interested in housing will find a new decoration available from Verdantis merchants – the Hanging Potted Flowering Pink Azalea – and increased flexibility with crafting Decorative Rose Bushes. Pet owners can now purchase Cows from pet merchants. Seasonal content is also shifting, as the Envy Angel prepares to go dormant on March 16th while the Arch Lapin returns.

Notably, the development team has temporarily disabled store entries for lava pools while they continue testing optimizations and have addressed a visual issue with the Baroque Fountain’s water height. A handful of technical fixes were also implemented, including sound issues on Linux systems and texture optimization for player dungeons. Finally, players may notice that New Britannia's waters are once again green – the cause remains a mystery!
