RIFT news tidbits for 27-28th March 2015.

General

  • Livestream Summary for 27th March 2015. Latest Trion Livestream provides full overview of the upcoming 3.2 Wardrobe System. Also showed off some of the Tier 2 Hammerknell Fortress Raid and other tidbits like new bag search commands, visible Elo Rating for PvP and mounts sorted by speed. Full info and screenshots here.
  • Notice: Planned Downtime. Trion’s platforms will go down for approx 1hr at 4AM PDT on 31st March 2015. This includes RIFT, Trove, Defiance and ArcheAge. [r]
  • Dimension Info

    • Books. The interactable books will be Meridian/Sanctum books for now. Artifact-gained books might appear in the future, depending on demand for the new books. [r]
    • Krug also mentioned that it’s not as easy as copy-paste to turn an existing item in-game into a dimension item. Not difficult, but time-consuming. [r]
  • Attractor Minions Info. Snedhepl has stated that the attractor minion tooltip will be updated in the next hotfix so that it better explains that: [r]
    • Archaeologist Herim attracts 1 adventure per deck at Levels 1-9;
    • Archaeologist Herim attracts 2 adventures per deck at Level 10-25; and
    • Jineth only attracts 1 adventure per deck.
    • However, you can have the two cards ‘work together’ so you unlock 3 additional artifact adventures per deck.
  • Minion Achievement Info. Snedhepl has stated that the no.-of-minions-collected achievement seems to stop counting at 140, even though there’s a lot more minions than that. [r]
  • Razing Sanctum/Meridian. CaptainCursor has stated that if Trion adds content (perhaps a sliver) where Sanctum has been destroyed, they will also do so for Meridian. [r]

      I’m not sure on the raid marks. The recent livestream showed iHK bosses dropping Fragments of Madness (a new Tier 2 raid currency), but there’s been no word from Trion or the PTS on whether or not they’ll combine Fragments of Horror (T1) and Abyssal Crusader’s marks.

      As for Tier 1 weapons – there’s also been no word on if or when those will appear on the RIFT Store. Tier 1 armor will likely become purchasable with Credits at some point after Tier 2 arrives though since it is no longer the BiS for RIFT Store.
