Before the year ends, a major patch is still on the way for RIFT. It brings back the Christmas event, along with new PvP items.
PvP Improvements
Especially PvP enthusiasts can look forward to small improvements. A completely new armor set awaits all fans of the glorious player battles. At the same time, the existing PvP quests will be slightly easier to complete, making it possible to get rewards with less effort. So, it’s a good time for PvP abstainers to take a look at the various battlegrounds and accumulate some favor.
The Return of the Faerie Yule Festival
The Faerie Yule Festival from last year returns, but this time it brings some changes. Apart from the known rewards, such as the Faerie Yule Festival backpacks, players will find a new Instant Adventure that they can dive into to help Father Frost and Atrophinius quell the disturbances at the festivities. There’s a chance to earn costumes and other items that can only be obtained during the event!
Affinity Points
Regular players can look forward to a new additional reward system. With the upcoming patch, logging in daily will grant so-called Affinity Points. These can be spent like a new resource for certain rewards. The selection includes costumes, as well as simpler goods like consumables. Particularly ambitious players are saving for a rare mount, which not much is known about yet.
Winter clothing awaits during the event.
Quality of Life Improvements
In addition to the highlights mentioned above, numerous improvements of a more subtle nature await. The user interfaces for crafting professions and the wardrobe have been revamped, making it easier to find sought-after items. The wardrobe has also been expanded with weapon effects to offer players even more options for customization than before. Last but not least, all mounts in the game can now be aquatic, significantly increasing the number of water mounts.
There isn’t a set date for the update yet, but we’ll keep you updated.
