Trion will be updating RIFT with RIFT 3.3 Hotfix #5 as at 7/29/15 at 7:00AM PDT (NA) and 7/30/15 at 1:00AM GMT (EU).
Summary/Additional Info:
- Nightmare Saga Act II Live! If you’ve already completed Act I, you can obtain the first quest for Act II from the throne room in Tempest Bay at /setwaypoint 12923 11526. Otherwise you can start Act I from a quest in your mailbox. If you are mid-way through Act I, it should show up under “The Saga of Lord Arak” in your Quest Log (default key “L“).
Nightmare Saga Act II Starting Quest Location
- If you are stuck on “A Strange Corruption” quest; what you are looking for are neutral Level 65 mutants called “Corrupted Defender”. There will be two in front of a Corruptive Orb. Just use a target macro “tar Corrupted Defender” and spam that whilst running around the areas marked on the map to find them.
- Supply Crates/Troves Changes.
- Supply Crate/Trove-dropped Level 65 gear now has a new upgrade tier: “Hardened”. Takes between 9-28 Abyssal Crusader’s Accelerators to upgrade from the previous ‘Ardent’ tier, depending on gear (9 = belt; 28 = 2-hand). They have Tier 1 hit (+150).
New tier for lockbox gear. Tier 1 hit.
- All service items that drop from lockboxes going forward no longer tradeable. Existing service items that have already been obtained will remain tradeable.
- Supply Crate/Trove-dropped Level 65 gear now has a new upgrade tier: “Hardened”. Takes between 9-28 Abyssal Crusader’s Accelerators to upgrade from the previous ‘Ardent’ tier, depending on gear (9 = belt; 28 = 2-hand). They have Tier 1 hit (+150).
- Chloromancer Bug Fixed. Mage Chloromancers will no longer be able to endlessly benefit from the 2pc and 4pc Savant’s Crystal set bonuses when re-applying Synthesis on multiple targets.

Related to act II of the Nightmare Saga – an artifact set called “Places You’ll Go” was added, which lists the locations you will visit in all three parts of the Nightmare Saga. The artifacts for this set can be found in the Port Scion instance that the Orphiel dim NPC randomly spawns.
Nice! Thanks for the info Twinmoon!
does Drone Bennkaa really still spawns??? i’ve waited for it for days at the locations where Overseer Primarch also spawns, but i didnt meet Drone although i killed many Primarch.
Yes, Drone Bennkaa spawns. He was never supposed to spawn where the Primarch spawn, and this has been fixed. You can find Drone Bennkaa (if you are lucky) at his long time location even though few used to kill him there.
