New World Update 1.8.3

Greetings, Adventurers!

New World Update 1.8.3 downtime will begin at 11:00 PM PT (7:00AM UTC) on February 21st. It marks the start of the Legacy of Crassus event and includes various Leaderboards fixes.

[h2]LEGACY OF CRASSUS[/h2]
  • The might of Rome threatens Aeternum from February 21 to March 7. Hunt down General Crassus' monstrous captains and banish the shadow of Roman tyranny in an all-new event. Following a plan set in motion long ago, Crassus's forces have invaded the southern lands to unleash the cyclopses Lucanus and Decimus.
  • Players brave enough to face these world bosses can search for portals in Brightwood, Weavers Fen, Mourningdale, Ebonscale Reach, and Edengrove.
  • Each victory nets Adventurers event-specific, daily rewards.
  • Explore the announcement for more details.
  • Go behind the scenes with the Development Team.

[h3]LEADERBOARDS[/h3]
  • Filtering friends or Company members on Leaderboards now properly sorts the results by rank. Unranked players are listed at the end.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented some players from receiving rewards. Affected players will receive their rewards in a future update.

[h3]NOTABLE FIXES[/h3]
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Brimstone Sands Outpost Storage to incorrectly default to the Brimstone Sands Settlement Storage.
  • Fixed an icon error with the Baal Hoop ring.
  • Fixed an issue where the Storage Shed UI would not show up when interacting with a Storage Shed.

[h3]QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]
  • Locked items can no longer be dropped.
  • When using the "Transfer All" button to transfer inventory items to storage, locked items will now stay in the player's inventory.
