Feature
Graveyard PK Encounters Active
The Britain Graveyard in Felucca is now a dangerous place. Wander in and one of seven PK archetypes portals through to hunt you. Each has its own combat style, voice lines, and playstyle. Three tiers of difficulty based on your prowess.

System
Skill Synergies & Cooldown HUD Shipped
All barding skills now benefit from the synergy system — Forensics, Tracking, and Carpentry reduce difficulty on Provocation, Peacemaking, and Discordance. Anatomy + Healing boosts bandage heal output. The cooldown HUD tracks all of it live on screen.

Feature
Hunter System — Bounties & Rare Targets
The Hunter System is live. Four tiers of rare named creatures now roam Britannia, each worth Hunter Tokens when slain. Turn them in at the Guildmaster NPC in Britain, Trinsic, or Minoc for exclusive rewards. Wanted PKs have been added to the track — kill a Cutthroat, Murderer, or Dread Lord and claim their severed head as proof.
May 2026
Feature
World Atlas Added to Starting Backpack
Every new character now begins their journey with a blessed World Atlas. Open it to see all towns, dungeons, and moongates across Britannia. Click any entry to teleport directly there — no rune libraries, no gates. A short channelling delay applies, and the cooldown HUD counts it down.

System
Encounter System Expanded to 40+ Zones
PK encounters are no longer limited to the Britain Graveyard. The encounter system now covers over 40 named zones across Felucca, Ilshenar, Malas, Tokuno, and TerMur — dungeon levels, entrance corridors, and deep boss floors all have their own encounter tables. Tier scales with zone depth. A 30-minute per-player cooldown prevents farming.

System
Orb & Currency System Introduced
Twelve types of Orbs now drop from monsters across the world, each tied to a damage school or character attribute. Essence Shards bind to your character and represent progression. Scroll items grant temporary boosts. The full economy layer — how Orbs feed into crafting and advancement — is still being designed, but the items and drop tables are already active.
Coming Soon
Planned
A Living World — AI Guild Factions
The next major phase of development is underway. Twelve AI-controlled guilds will inhabit Britannia — blue, grey, and red — each with 12 members who follow daily schedules, hunt, bank, chat, and fight. Your reputation with each guild shapes what quests you receive, what prices you pay, and whether their members are friendly or hostile on sight.
