Shroud Of The Avatar Release 53 Goes Live This Thursday

shroud of the avatar penmawr islandShroud of the Avatar has kept to a strict monthly update schedule from the get go and the game’s official launch hasn’t thrown a wrench in that process. Release 53 is scheduled to roll out this Thursday which will introduce Decoration Loot and Heraldry Items.

“In Release 53 Heraldry will be open for everyone through the sale of Heraldry Eternal Patterns in the Add-On Store. We are also adding a Cloak to the growing number of items you can use to display your heraldry. Note that these items are visually distinct from the Founder versions we released in Release 52.

This week we added the regular versions of Heraldry Armor, banners, and shield (which is rectangular). We also introduced a heraldry cloak.”

R53 will also feature the rebuilt Tenebris Harbor, Penmawr Island, and Eastmarch scenes. The update will also include the new Looking-For-Group system, loot improvements, offline drop rate changes, Virtue Effects for gear, new Plunderer NPCs, more side quests, a more polished UI, and a whole lot more.

You can check out the full list of changes on the Shroud of the Avatar official site. You'll also find the latest community livestream after the break where the devs talk about the game's combat system and puts it through its paces.
