Launch Notes

Everything new at launch: systems, changes, and starter goodies.

Launch Notes

Launch Schedule

  • Release: 3 July 2026, 13:00 UTC+1 (Server Time)
  • Aura Kingdom: Allure of the Past is a classic+ server.
  • These notes describe the systems, changes and rewards available at launch.

Loyalty Points

  • Loyalty Points (LP) are our free-to-play currency, earned through the part of the game you're already playing.
  • Earn LP by killing dungeon bosses: the higher the boss level, the more LP.
  • Additional LP from coupon drops in Sky Tower, the Temple of Eidolon, and the Sanctuary of Eidolon.
  • Feedback on LP sources and rates is welcome once we're live.

Dungeons: Hourly Resets Return

  • Hourly dungeon resets support progression through Fortification, Crafting and Memory Shards.
  • Regular dungeons reset hourly.
  • Daily-reset exceptions: Demon Kings (6 hours), Temple of Eidolon, Sanctuary of Eidolon.

Removed Dungeon Types

  • Eidolon and Fortification dungeons are removed.
  • Fortification drops now come from regular dungeons.
  • Eidolon keys are available in the LP Shop.

Fortification: Eased Rates & Potential

  • Fortification success rates and potential gain have been adjusted to make progression more forgiving.
  • Success rates are now much more forgiving: a flat 2% for any equipment type past +10.
  • Potential gain has been adjusted from 4–8 to 15–17 for +21–30 equipment.
  • Universal Scrolls remain unchanged.
  • Feedback on the fortification changes is welcome on Discord or the Aura Kingdom subreddit.

Eidolons: 3 Keys & the New Star Talents System

  • Eidolon progression combines classic key requirements with the Star Talents system.

Keys

  • Back to the classic system: only 3 keys to take an Eidolon to 4★.

New System: Star Talents

  • Collection bonuses were always fixed, so every player ended up identical. Star Talents change that:
  • Every Eidolon star you obtain feeds your Star Talent progression.
  • Invest stars into talent nodes with varying costs.
  • Pick the stats that fit your build instead of being locked into predetermined bonuses.

Eidolon Infusion

  • Eidolon Infusion empowers your skills with effects and buffs, in some cases changing what a skill does and looks like.
  • It's an intricate system that deserves its own showcase: we'll cover it in a separate video.

For Returning Players: What's Changed

  • Already familiar with Aura Kingdom? Here's what's new.

Classes & Equipment

  • Classes are no longer locked to your character: switch weapons freely at any time.
  • The Weapon Arsenal and Secret Stone Vault auto-swap your gear and Secret Stones with you.

Fashion & Mounts

  • Fashion and mount stats are separated from the items: wear and ride what you like without sacrificing stats.

Interface & Collections

  • The dungeon interface is streamlined into a single centralized menu.
  • The Collection system is expanded: save equipment, profession gear, and rare items for account-wide bonuses, not just costumes.
  • Many separate systems are now integrated directly into the inventory, including the Crafting Menu, Star Level Evolution, Alchemy, and Secret Stone Inlay / Upgrade.

Automation & Combat

  • The Gaia Assistant automates repetitive tasks: auto-using consumables at set health %, managing unwanted loot, and more.
  • The damage formula is completely reworked to address longstanding combat issues.

And More

  • Auction house improvements, namely buying single items off a full listed stack.
  • Memory Shards.
  • Bulk selling and countless quality-of-life changes.
