Summerfest Rift Store Items

Summerfest will begin on Thursday, 3rd July 2014 at 3:30PM Server Time (NA) (EU). In the mean-time, here’s the major Summerfest Rift Store Items for this year!

There’s quite a few Summerfest-related items that you can obtain during Summerfest under Rift Store (default key “]“) -> World Event.

Table of Contents:

• Ravensong, the Ash Walker Mount
• Summerfest Party Basket
• Summerfest Companion Pets
• Summerfest Rings
• Summerfest Lesser Essences
• Summerfest Dimension Items
• RIFT Summer Outfits
• Summerfest Interactive Items

Ravensong, the Ash Walker Mount

Ravensong, the Ash Walker (“Ravensong”) is the new Summerfest mount which costs 150 platinum. However, you need to unlock it first by completing the “Summer Royalty” achievement found under Achievements (default key “h“) -> World Events -> Summerfest.

Summerfest Party Basket

The Summerfest Party Basket costs 750 Summerfest Merit Badges or 525 Credits (472 for Patrons) each. It contains a chance at a wide variety of items:

Contains pets like The King and Party Fowl, New Summerfest Artifacts, a chance for Dark Ice Essences, Dark Ice Necklaces, and very rarely the new raptor mount; Ravensong, the Ash Walker.

They also reward Summerfest Merit Badges (Summerfest currency) as well as a rare chance at Summerfest Friendship Bracelets (Limited Summerfest currency).

Here’s some of the items you can obtain from it:

Summerfest Party Punch

The Summerfest Party Punch Artifacts are available as a chance drop from the Summerfest Party Basket.

Artifacts for the set are as follows:

• Sam’s Breakfast Drink
• Summer Berries
• Delicious Nectar
• Juicy Melon
• Honey and Juice
• Red Glowing Berries
• A Carnivorous Plant
• Creepy Eyed Plant
• Bottled Elemental Essence

Completing the Artifact Set grants the achievement “The Summer Sleuth” the gives you 5 achievement points + Title: “the Summer Sleuth”. It also rewards you with the companion pet “Sam the Tan and Punch Drunk Ram”.

Summerfest Companion Pets (Summerfest Party Basket)

The Summerfest Party Basket also contains a large amount of Summerfest Companion Pets:

• Burnoulli
• Backmane
• Purple Cobra
• Quiffles
• Party Fowl
• Egon
• Goner
• The King
• Xalmathalmanar the IIIIVst
• Snaps
• Kyth
• Micecream
• Baderpillar
• Blue
• Sam the Sunburned Ram

Collecting them all grants the achievement “The Host With The Most” and rewards you with the “Party Punch Elemental” Bind on Use Companion Pet:

These companion pets are Bind on Use so you can obtain them from other players/Auction House as well. If you’re after the “The Host With The Most” achievement but don’t want to spend Credits, I recommend waiting a few days/weeks so that supply (thanks to players getting multiples of the same pet from the Summerfest Party Baskets) will naturally dampen the prices.

Dark Ice Essences + Dark Ice Necklaces

Dark Ice Essences and Dark Ice Necklaces are a rare drop from the Summerfest Party Basket. These were originally available via the Dark Ice Bells (lockboxes) in Fae Yule 2013.

The stats are very good for Level 60 characters. You can check out all the Dark Ice Essences and Necklaces on Magelo.

Summerfest Companions Pets

There’s a multitude of Summerfest-related Companion Pets that you can obtain during Summerfest. We’ve listed the ones obtained from the Summerfest Party Basket above, but there’s others that you can directly obtain from the Rift Store -> World Events section below:

Undead Dancers

There’s two undead, dancing companion pets you can obtain: Jenniphear, the Dancing Zombie and Deathika, the Skeletal Dancer. These two are companion pets that will dance whilst idle (not running after you).

They cost 500 Summerfest Merit Badges and 5 Summerfest Friendship Bracelets each, or 1,100 Credits (990 for Patrons) each.

Summoning these two pets will also give you the “Dead Dance Revolution” achievement and reward you with 5 Achievement Points and Title: “the Sun Praiser”.

Summerfest Rings

Summerfest Rings are obtainable from Rift Store -> World Event during Summerfest. There’s some new +78 HIT Rings on top of Summerfest 2013’s +65 HIT Rings for every Class with one general and one tank-specific ring each.

These are Bound to Account so you could potentially use alts to help your main char receive all Summerfest Rings and Lesser Essences (given the Limited currency, Summerfest Friendship Bracelet).

Summerfest Lesser Essences

Summerfest Lesser Essences are obtainable from Rift Store -> World Event during Summerfest. There’s lesser essences for every Class with one general and one tank-specific essence each.

• The General essences are very good with greater stats than Torvan essences, but they have half the Endurance.
• The Tank essences have significantly higher Endurance than Torvan essences (about +20 END more), but lack Secondary Stat.

These are Bound to Account so you could potentially use alts to help your main char receive all Summerfest Rings and Lesser Essences (given the Limited currency, Summerfest Friendship Bracelet).

Summerfest Dimension Items

There’s a few Summerfest-related Dimensions Items available under the Rift Store -> World Events during Summerfest.

Key to Dimension: Fort Zarnost Beach

The Fort Zarnost Beach Dimension is located on Ember Isle near Fort Zarnost. It’s not particularly big but includes some areas of water you can swim in, a decent area of water you can stand on and a small grass/beach area.
