PTS + Datamining for 22nd September 2014

A small ~133.2MB PTS Update hit on 22nd September 2014. Given its relatively small size, I’m including both the PTS Update and Datamining below:

Summary:

• RIFT Store -> Rifts section categorized.
  
• New Level 60+ Warfront: “Battle of the Numeral Eleven”.
  
• Minions Fixes/Further Inquisitor Changes.
• More Architecture Models.
• A flame or crustacean-based Mob Skin.

As always, everything below is subject to change prior to hitting Live and some things included below may never make it to Live release.

RIFT Store -> Rifts Section Categorized

RIFT Store Rifts Section Categorized

The RIFT Store -> Rifts section has been grouped up into the various types of lures: Nightmare, Hunt, Great Hunt, Raid Rifts and PvP. The default category also includes the Hero’s Unrest Rifts, Sinister Tide/Invasive Species lures as well as some of the Nightmare Rift consumables.

Nightmare Lure 1

The Nightmare sub-category includes all the lures for Nightmare Rifts from Rank I to V, both the open world and instanced versions. Costs are placeholder.

New Level 60+ Warfront

Battle of the Numeral Eleven Objective

Not sure how long this has been up on the PTS, but there’s now a “Battle of the Numeral Eleven” warfront for Level 60+ players (Level 60-64 and Level 65-only brackets). The warfront involves holding onto ‘Deadly Numbers’ and is related to the Manugo ‘numbers’ game at Ghar Station Mem in Goboro Reef.

Hold Deadly Numbers, click on Manugo Stations to make the numbers go up (and likely gain more points per tick, or just points per click), but suffer increasing damage whilst holding it (like the Fang in Black Garden).

Battle of the Numeral Elevent Warfront Achievements

And here are the achieves. The objectives are pretty similar to Black Garden’s ‘Fang’-based objectives outside of using the Manugo Station.

Unfortunately, there hasn’t been enough players on the PTS to pop the warfront.

Minions Fixes/Inquisitor Changes

Further minions fixes and Cleric Inquisitor Changes have hit the PTS.

Minions Fixes

A few fixes for Minions should be up on the PTS. Note that the new Aventurine currency isn’t up yet and the Hurry button still has issues of having the cost not appear when you try using it within 10secs of the adventure appearing.

Cleric Inquisitor Changes

As Kervik mentioned prior, [r] there are some further Cleric Inquisitor Changes that are now up on the PTS for testing.

• Spiritual Scrutiny now prevents Bolt of Judgment from consuming stacks of Echoing Concord (from Unified Theory)
• Increased the stack size of Echoing Concord to 10.
• Symbol of Corruption now deals its damage over 3s.
• Radical Coalescence now also grants Fanaticism when cast.

Test them out and send feedback in-game or via the thread here.

More Architecture Models

Goboro Reef Temple Architecture Models

Just a selection of Architecture models, this time for Goboro Reef. Likely just touching up on the Temple of Ranri outer building models.

Flame/Crustacean Skin

Flame or Crustacean Mob Skin

A flame or Crustacean-like mob skin was datamined with this update. Perhaps it is one of the bosses of the Rhen of Fate 10-man Raid.

• The bottom-left corner shows its face with gills. It seems to be clearly fire-based in some way.
• The middle section could be its tail fin that is on fire.
• The top-right corner shows what looks to be its crab-like claw.

Small update this time around although the “Battle of the Numeral Eleven” warfront sounds interesting.
