New Patch, December 18th: New Chat system and Cannons added to DFUW

This is the new chat patch we talked about last week and it also includes the addition of deployable and city Cannons.

You can check out a screenshot of the new chat as well as a screenshot of a new Cannon posted on the Darkfall Unholy Wars page on Facebook.

New Feature



New Chat, including emotes and chat bubbles (with the option to turn them off)

  • Emotes can be used by the bottom right button in the chat, or by typing out the full emote command (e.g. /guitar) Keybind options are included.
  • Chat bubbles will only appear for messages that are sent through the local area channel.
  • You can cycle through previous sent messages using Ctrl+UP/DOWN


New Spawnable Cannon (Eruptor Cannon)

  • It can be crafted through engineering and requires a new material (Flash Cotton), only available as a Village reward (rare)
  • Added cannons to clan city towers

General Fixes



  • Fixed a bug with ship building and some fishing feats not being completed
  • Some ability and AI teaks for Sir Davosh and Erodach
  • Asset protection cost has been decreased by 70%

Patch Notes: December 16th

This is the first of our scheduled patches before Christmas. The main feature in this patch is an epic new Dungeon called Sinspire Cathedral

We've posted some screenshots of the new Dungeon on Darkfall Unholy Wars' Facebook page.

You can also check out the full patch notes and the description, as well as the lore associated with Sinspire Cathedral at the official Darkfall Unholy Wars forum

Update September 6th

An update on the upcoming patches, the Asian beta going on right now, and our stance on and efforts against Real Money Transactions.

You can read the update at the Darkfall Unholy Wars Website

Duelist, the new Skirmisher School

Duelist is a fast paced, high skill role that will bring twitch-play back into the equation. The equivalent of an ultra high mobility melee glass cannon. With easy to land, low-cooldown, high-damage skills, we expect this to be the role of choice for the experienced pvpers out there.

Patch Notes July 9th

Today Aventurine issued a major content update to Darkfall Unholy Wars, adding the Market System to the game. The Market is a new, highly requested and highly anticipated feature which allows Darkfall Unholy Wars players to place and fulfill market orders in the four racial capitals. This addition to the game creates a completely player-driven economy and will change the way Darkfall Unholy Wars is played by many players.

Another major addition in today’s update are the significant changes to the Village System which were also highly requested by the Darkfall Unholy Wars players: Capturing and holding villages has become much more meaningful for clans and for the clan meta-game. As a result, Villages are very strategic and will become heavily contested areas, adding more PvP spots in the game.

Finally, as part of the Darkfall Unholy Wars naval warfare component, two new ships were added to the game, one utility ship called the Sea Scraper which is used to collect treasure from the ocean floor, and a new Warship, the Sloop.

The Market System and Changes to Villages

The Market is a new, highly requested and highly anticipated feature for Darkfall Unholy Wars and it's being added in next week's patch. Changes to villages are happening to make them more meaningful to own and to revitalize that part of the clan meta-game.
