In short

Release 147 is now live, bringing a variety of smaller improvements and fixes across Shroud of the Avatar. A significant change for collectors involves the removal of all “Vault” items from the Crown Store; existing categories have been renamed to reflect this. Players will also notice seasonal changes on the horizon as the Envy Angel departs and the Arch Lapin returns in mid-March. Town development continues with Avallon reaching City status and Saxon’s Landing becoming a Metropolis, offering new opportunities for player governance and trade within those settlements.

This release includes several updates to crafting and decorating options, notably around chickens – all existing ones are now designated “Red Chickens” and new coops and feeders have been added to merchants on Elysium. Various item descriptions were corrected or added, particularly for ultra-rare items, with attention paid to ensuring proper material usage in recipes like Wicker Trays. Quality of life improvements extend to inventory management with stackable water troughs and easier delivery of rare wine items.

Beyond these highlights, the patch addresses smaller bugs across the world – including a fix within Aerie’s mage shop – and resolves visual issues with certain craftables. Players may also observe that New Britannia's waters have turned green once more, a playful nod to recent fountain additions. Finally, Crown Store sales have returned to their standard rate after a period of increased discounts.
