In short

Release 136 focuses heavily on polish and quality of life improvements across New Britannia, with a significant emphasis on player dungeons. Several stone dungeon pieces have received updates to their collision, visuals, and placement compatibility, making building more intuitive and visually consistent. A new Troll Encounter Room variation has also been added alongside conversion options for existing room owners.

Beyond dungeons, the update addresses numerous smaller issues reported by players throughout the world – stuck spots in various locations like Lamech’s Bazaar and North Hulenholt have been resolved, visual glitches corrected (including seams in Blackblade Pass and bumpy stairs in Artifice), and navigation mesh added to recently updated dungeon rooms. Crafting sees a small expansion allowing cotton, coconut, and lemon trees to be planted in more container types, and the Xenossian Cistern now functions as a water source.

Finally, several oddities have been addressed, including the return of normal water (of sorts) to New Britannia’s waterways, pinker flamingos, and liches being returned to their statues. The Crown Store has also reverted to its standard sale percentages after a period of increased discounts.
