General

• RIFT 3.0 Hotfix #7. The latest hotfix hit on 19th Nov bringing forth a whole bunch bug fixes, some class changes and dungeon/raid adjustments. Check out full notes here.

• Unicornalia Promo Week is out! Unicornalia Promo Week has started from 3:30PM Server Time on 20th November until 3:30PM Server Time on 27th November. You can check out a guide to the Promo Week here!
  • The main change this time round is that the Sparkle Trove can also give you a chance at the Cobalt Crabnarok Mount as well as the Onyx Unicorn Mount. Also drops will scale to up to 65 (instead of 60 in the past) based on your level.
  • There are two new achievements under Promotions that have Unicorn-related icons/rewards. However, the names of the quests ‘Hover Bike’ seems to indicate that these are probably meant for future Temporal Flux Promo Weeks or a completely new type of Promo Week. Check out the achievements below:
