Patch:
Deteriorating Backpacks have been largely removed from the game. Hopefully one day they make their way back though, its sprite will be missed :wink:
- - - They have been replaced with Stuffed Bags. When creatures loot becomes so filled with treasure the container, bag or backpack, carrying all these things becomes stuffed.
- - - When a bag or backpack is stuffed it cannot be picked up. It can be dragged.
- - - You can take items out of the stuffed bag and when the bag it's it's normal carrying capacity it will become a normal bag.
- - - Impetus here: https://discord.com/channels/665957535412649994/1487147105947750522
- - - - - Dev Note: This will sync with the upcoming backpack 'deterioration' removal feature gameworld wide
- Blessed Crucifix has been added to all Temples or other certain Holy/Sacred places.
- - - Using a blessing crucifix will allow you to see the current blessings you possess and the current blessings you do not possess.
- - - - - Dev Note: This item will be present on the upcoming Seasonal, in both the Temples and Store, for a number of design benefits. It seemed best to include it in Classic too, because overall it provides a benefit. However in the long term I'd prefer the item is somehow acquirable through some sort of in-game 'quest' or 'task' or other means. Not that it sits idly in the temples. Or at least it is acquirable along with residing in the temples.

## Bugs:
- A bug fix with items going into wall from a closed door has been fixed
- A bug with bleed/poison not applying when a monster melee's you has been fixed
- Desync issues on Client have been fixed
- There were some bugs with buying certain spells from NPCs. This has been fixed
- Yahya's Caravan is fixed. We've filled it up to a remaining 'one more' each to make it easy to do.

Toughness Event

-

With it too late in the year to begin any campaigns Harkath Bloodblade, the old General, has instructed his veteran soldiers to start training new recruits in the art of combat. The veterans begin with defensive stances and tactics that will keep a man alive long enough so he may use his sword.

For Antica:
• The event, Toughness, will occur from Friday August 14th Server Save to Tuesday August 18th Server Save.

For Aetas:
• If players vote that they want this Event by more than 75% or more the event, Toughness, will occur from Friday August 14th Server Save to Tuesday August 18th Server Save. Voting will be Server Gauges. Server Gauges will be released on August 11th Server Save.

• During this event all damage that players receive is reduced by **15%**.
• During this event all damage that monsters receive is reduced by **5%**.
• The damage reduction received by players works in PvE and PvP.

May your foes blades be dull,
Dura Staff

Patch Notes — August 8th 2026

-

All Gameworlds
• We have fixed several client desynchronization issues that could cause:
• • Attacking or following a target to stop functioning correctly.
• • The red-square attack indicator to disappear.
• • Other related targeting and combat inconsistencies.
• Reminder: You can play on Antica and Aetas at the same time on one character each.

Aetas
With launch day behind us, we hope everyone has been enjoying Dura! We encountered a few bumps along the way, but overall, the game things are looking fun and stable.

• Launch Day Rook Raids have been deactivated.
• All raids through Tier 7 have now been activated.
• • For players unfamiliar with Dura’s Raids: do not take your favorite hunting or training grounds for granted unless they are inside a city. New raids can happen almost anywhere!
• • As the average player level rises and the server progresses, additional raid tiers will be activated.
• Forced Spawning monsters in Rook has been turned OFF.

• Server Gauges will start at server save on Tuesday, August 11. Once available, they will allow the community to vote on how certain aspects of the server—including raids—should operate.
• To vote, your account must be verified and your character must be at least level 20. These requirements are intended to prevent abuse. Verification is quick and easy: Verification

Feedback and Bug Reports
• The central theme of this server is **Blessed Lands**, supported by several other special and unique mechanics. We are eager to hear whether there are improvements or changes we can make to create an even better experience. Feedback
• If you encounter a bug, please report it in the designated channel: Bug Reports

Regards,
Dura Staff

Aetas :: Blessed Lands — Account & Character Creation Is Now Open

-

Launch Date: Friday, August 7, 2026 - 13:00 EDT - 19:00 CEST - 14:00 BRT

Website: https://aetas.playdura.com/

Accounts & Characters

• If you played Season I—Valor—your existing account and characters are already created and waiting for you. You do not need to recreate them.
• If you did not play Season I, or would like a new account or additional characters, you can now create them through the Aetas website.

Test Server Concluded

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us test Season II. Your help allowed us to uncover bugs and make further improvements to the design of Aetas. It made a real difference, and ensures an even better experience than Season I. We also want to thank everyone who has shown enthusiasm for Season II! We have seen strong interest from across the community, and all signs point toward a great turnout.

Seasonal to Eternal

Aetas is seasonal, but your characters are not temporary. Your characters, items, and progress will not be deleted when the season has run its course; they will eventually continue on Aeterna, Dura’s eternal world for seasonal characters. Full Aetas to Aeterna explanation: Seasonal to Eternal World

Rules Reminder

Please read the seasonal rules before launch. Aetas does not use the same ruleset as Antica. Antica uses Dura’s Standard Ruleset. Aetas uses the Free-Trade Ruleset. The Free-Trade Ruleset does not include Rule 6.4a, Power Abuse, or the Gamemaster Oversight associated with that rule. The Free-Trade Ruleset also supports the Character Bazaar. Aetas Rules: Free-Trade Ruleset

Feedback

We encourage feedback both before and after launch: Aetas Feedback
