RELEASE 132, November 27, 2024
Release 132 went live on November 27, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. CST. Described as a polish month, it made a craftable Yule stocking available, opened eleven tents and stalls to player-dungeon placement, repaired a blocked Grusk quest destination, and tidied collision, pathing, text, and icons around New Britannia. The aether creatures also returned to hibernation after the comet's departure.[1]
The official launch notes contain 18 entries across crafting, interface, world, quest, and player-owned-town work. This number counts published entries rather than every object or correction contained within them.[1]

A stocking for the hearth, tents for the dungeon
Housing decoration merchants in Regalis began selling the recipe for the Yule Stocking 2024. It gave decorators a craftable seasonal item just as New Britannia entered the Yule period.[1]
The broader decoration change concerned player dungeons. Collision was corrected on eleven existing tents and stalls so they could be placed there: the Small, Large, and Great Knight's Tents; Small, Medium, and Large Elven Tents; Triangle Kobold Tent; Medium Canvas Tent; Virtue Oktoberfest Tent; Barn Stall; and Thin Barn Stall.[1] For dungeon builders, that turned a sizeable set of outdoor-looking props into practical room dressing.
Two 2024 Valentine Gift boxes received name corrections. The Blank Ornate Streetlamp with Sign gained an icon, and the 2022 Yule Tree was connected to its proper icon.[1]
The most consequential quest repair addressed the Lost Disambiguator storyline in Grusk. Players on the quest could again enter one of the Moon Towers, removing a blocker at an actual destination rather than merely cleaning up its journal text.[1] The related Ask About Disambiguator entry also had a typo corrected.
Three Kobold Guardians were moved outside a building so they could reach their walking paths. Together, these changes improved both progression and the visible behavior of the scene.[1]
Small repairs across the world
R132's remaining world work was geographically scattered but easy to appreciate while traveling:
- Jotungrund added collision to a wooden tower.
- Norgard Fens added several ladders giving access to the metal gangway in the kobold outpost.
- Port Harmony corrected the hint for Zouch's Emote Smellbad By Stall task.
- Ruined Keep smoothed jagged puddles.
- Sawtooth Thicket removed an out-of-bounds tree clipping into a cave.
- Vikland corrected Liva's response concerning the “amulet of testimony.”[1]
The aether creatures went into hibernation when the comet departed. This was a seasonal state change, not the removal of those creatures from the game.[1]
Player-owned town changes
Three player-owned towns changed status. Cassiopeia was upgraded to Crossroads Village, Saxon's Landing was upgraded to Town, and Brittany Fort was removed.[1]
The release announcement also published an updated Novia player-owned-town map. As with any snapshot of a player-directed system, the map records the release period rather than guaranteeing the towns' later sizes or availability.
Livestream entries explained
R132 documented how official livestream prize drawings worked. A player could enter by saying the published prize phrase in any in-game chat channel on the stream date, from midnight Central Time until roughly five minutes before a drawing. A website purchase also qualified. One phrase entry remained valid for additional drawings during that stream, while phrases posted only in Twitch chat or Discord were not tracked.[1]
For the November 29 post-release stream, the published phrase was “happy harvest.” This was an event instruction for that date, not a permanent command.
Winter rewards and store additions
Subscribers who logged in during R132 received an Ornate Tabletop Snow Family 2024, three assorted Medium Yule 2024 Gift Boxes, and a choose-one bag containing a Yule Street Lamp with Sign. Each account logging in during December received a Potted Poinsettia.[1]
Launch-day Crown Store additions included the Yule Log 2024, several sizes of Yule trees, stockings, a white reindeer spawner, and blank ornate street lamps with signs.[1] These listings describe release history and do not imply current availability.
A harvest sale was announced through December 5, with the Crown Store discounted by 30 percent and Crowns of the Obsidians by 20 percent.[1] The later build that restored normal sale settings is kept outside the launch scope below.

Research boundary
The official launch announcement is the completeness baseline for R132. Build 1748, published December 8, restored ordinary sale settings and is not folded into this launch article.[2] The announcement's discussion of planning, dungeon work, mapping, and internal documentation describes ongoing development rather than additional shipped R132 features.
