This is my ServUO Ultra Modded Single Player project. Just basically my personal shard that me and a few friends play on. I thought I would share, as today I made a big update!

Shards of Minax - Feature List v091​

Shards of Minax is a ServUO single-player shard packed with numerous gameplay enhancements and expansions. The world is rich in new challenges, unique mechanics, and modded systems designed to create an engaging experience for both casual and hardcore players. Below is a comprehensive list of the features that define the Shards of Minax.

Summary of Major Updates​

• Version 05 (“Ultimate Masters”) introduced 58 skill-specific champion spawns with Powerscroll 200 rewards, richer Bulk Order Deeds/fishing quests, and a fully revamped Lord British Castle.
• V51 (Skills Overhaul) reworks “minor” skills: Alchemy bombs, magery boosts, bard songs, NPC-taming begging, treasure in lockpicking, universal weapon poisoning, puzzle-box remove-trap, weightless stealing, animal-form ninjitsu, expanded druid and pastoral spellbooks, camping foraging, forensic evaluation bonuses, gourmet food buffs, universal weapon abilities, trade-route item delivery, and improved gathering radii .
• V52 (Cartography Expansion) adds the Cartographer’s Scope & scouting reports, new treasure maps (ore, lumber, trade routes), and powerful map guardians.
• Version 6 (“ServUO 57 + VitaNex”) migrates to a stable ServUO 57 core, enables custom castles/keeps, Buccaneer’s Den sea-loot trading, and lays the groundwork for VitaNex-powered features.
