Razorback Roundup Promo Week

The Razorback Roundup Promo Week introduces the new Razorback mount and adds two new achievements and three dailies to complete.

• Promo Week extended to Monday, May 18th at 3:30PM ST.

General

• RIFT 3.2 Hotfix #6. RIFT was updated with RIFT 3.2 Hotfix #6 which contains HK IA adjustments, HK IA Caches with boosted currency/gear drops and some T2 HK adjustments. You can find full patch notes here.
  • Note: The HK Itemization changes are up on Live! (Not included in patch notes). Lots of Spell/Physical Crit turned to Critical Power + a bunch of other stat/proc adjustments.

• Amender Cost Reduction Next Week. The significant cost reductions to the last two tiers of Amender recipes has been delayed until next week’s hotfix. You can check out the cost reductions here. [r]
  • Cost reductions are very significant so you might want to hold back on crafting these amenders until next week.
  • You’ll also notice with this week’s hotfix that epic T2 upgrades/sidegrades have had their costs reduced. You no longer need the highest-tier amenders, so be sure to check your upgrade costs before thinking of making amenders for them.

• About Hammerknell Instant Adventure Loot. With this week’s hotfix, HK IAs now drop special HK IA Caches with boosted currency and even gear drops. Vladd has noted the following:
  • Trinket drops are not supposed to be better than NTE gear. They should not have procs on them at all. Will be fixed in next week’s hotfix. [r]
  • It is intended for 2H weapon drops from HK IA to have 250 Hit without requiring an upgrade. [r]

• Super Secret Lure Loot Update. Some pretty interesting loot from the Lure of Planar Distortion and Stan’s Super Secret Lure was posted up today on Reltub’s thread.
  • New 30-slot Bag “Chum Bucket”. [r]
  • New Companion Pet “Ehpyk” (pink/purple shark). [r]
  • And a reminder that the Minion Card: Snerkle seems to be unique to the lures.

• Other Info:
  • Bug: Attunement Ceremony. Kiron Liakos NPC is not visible. Known bug, will come back in a future hotfix. [r]
  • Bug: Dwarf Dance. Some /dance animations are cut-off right now. Known issue and Trion is still working on a fix. [r]
