Wow!

It's been 3 weeks since I started this blog, and I really enjoyed it.

The whole reason behind it is to help out other people, entertain other people,

and also so I myself can have more fun in Rift, writing things down helps me remember them.

I'd like to thank everyone watching this page for reading my blog, and I hope you will do for a long time to come!

There are lots of things I've been planning on doing, giveaways, new builds, multiple class builds.

(I'm leveling a Warrior and a Cleric as we speak)

and guides to many other things, such as crafting for both beginners, and end-game crafters.

(Where to get which materials / Which items to craft / Which items are wanted and worth the most)

See ya!

Testing Fine Whetstone's DPS increase.

2011-12-08T23:40:00.001+01:00

Hey there,

I'll be trying the craftable item "Fine Whetstone"

They add +4 DPS to your weapons, and I'll be testing how much it actually increases your DPS.

I'll be playing as a 38NB/28RS, using the R4 Rogue swords.
I expect the DPS difference to be higher while using weapons with a lower base DPS.

I will only be using the "Primal Strike" skill, so I will have a stable outcome.
Primal strike is a combo-point building skillwith a low, but stable damage output of 100~104.
The test will show the DPS after 30 seconds, here are the results;

Without Whetstone With Whetstone

1. 374 1. 365

2. 360 2. 384

3. 403 3. 423

4. 394 4. 371

5. 399 5. 433

Average: Average:
386 395.2

Well, I'm not too sure what to think about this.
Is it worth it to spend your platinum for such a trivial boost in damage?

A window will appear with the 'Teleport' option available for you to go directly to the group you've joined. * Complete the objectives for your raid - which occur alongside regular zone content - to earn experience, sourcestone, and vanity armor items.

Fae Yule Daily Quest Guide

2011-11-25T19:37:00.001+01:00

Light The Way
In Light The Way you need to "Lead 3 Lost Travelers to Safety"
Many players are confused about this quest, but to complete this within 5 minutes you need to know the spawn spots.

So there is a double spawn at the place I marked on the map above.
When you walk there, you will see a dark black mist, the mist means that there is a Lost Traveler within.

So now you found the black mist, walk into the mist - and use your quest item to show the light to the Lost Traveller.

Now look around, you should see at least one more black mist, go there and repeat above.

Now look back to the place were the previous black mist was, another one should have spawned.

Repeat this every day!

My Marksman's PvP Build

2011-11-24T12:12:00.001+01:00

Marksman's PvP Build

14/12/2011
I've changed this build a lot ingame, I have added a lot of macros to make it easier.
I willl post up a new guide later this week. You shouldn't use this one anymore.

You can find the build I'm using here.

Click to enlarge

(You can replace Assassin's Blinding Power for Marksman's Bull's Eye)

The Most Important Talents

Marksman

Increased Fire Power - The whole builds aim is for you to have as much burst damage capabilities as possible, this talent increases your damage by a whopping 25% after delivering a critical hit.
On The Double - You'll be using this talent to run out of a fight all the time. After killing the enemy you want to quickly get out of sight to regain hp. On The double is also usable while in Stealth.
Master Archer - This is my favorite talent, it increases your damage with 5% while standing still. And EVERY point above 20 will give it another 1%. So this talent increases your damage by 25% while standing still.
Killer Instinct - Increases critical hit chance of Empowered Shot and Deadeye shot (Your opener and finisher). Critical Hit = Increased Fire Power.
Strafe - This is one of your main skills, Strafe -> Rapid Fire Shot will bring down most enemies.
Rapid Extrication - 25% Less cooldown, what do you want more?!

Assassin

Ruthlessness - Another 5% more crit!
Cruel Vengeance - Critical Hits increase your damage by 10% for 10 seconds. You heard that right, another damage increase after a critical hit!
Silent Footsteps - Increases movement speed within Stealth by 30%. So stealth no longer slows you down.
Magnify Pain - Increases your Critical Hit damage by 20%, you're really becomming a cannon now!
Improved Stealth - Your Stealth now lasts untill cancelled. Well, that explains itself.

Fae Yule!

2011-11-24T09:19:00.001+01:00

What is RIFT™?

RIFT is a new MMORPG from Trion Worlds, where thousands of players adventure together to save a world being torn apart by magical rifts that unleash deadly planar invasions.

Is this an MMO?

Yes, RIFT is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in a unique fantasy world.

Is a monthly subscription required?

Yes.

What languages does RIFT support?

RIFT supports English, French, and German.

Which methods of payment are available?

Trion Worlds accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and PayPal. Game Time Cards are available at major retailers.

Is RIFT available to purchase as a digital download?

Yes. RIFT is available at the Trion Store as well as from other partners. You can visit the Product Page to make your purchase or find a local retailer.

Gameplay

What races can I play in RIFT?

You can choose from many different races to adventure as in the world of Telara, ranging from the fierce Bahmi to the bold Mathosians.

What classes can I play?

You begin the game by choosing one of four callings (Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, or Mage) and then build your perfect class using the Ascended Soul system.

Is there Player vs. Player combat in RIFT?

RIFT offers many forms and fashions of Player vs. Player (PvP) combat.

Does RIFT offer crafting and/or trade skills?

RIFT features a robust and comprehensive crafting and gathering system.

Are there guilds in RIFT?

Absolutely. RIFT offers a comprehensive guild system that is accessible to player organizations both large and small.

Does RIFT have factions?

Yes. The world of Telara is divided politically between two major factions: the Guardians and the Defiant. Both factions seek to save the world from planar destruction, but in very different ways. The factions are engaged in open conflict, and battle frequently, so no cross-faction groups or guilds can exist in RIFT.

Character Transfer

Can I move from a PvP shard to a PvE shard or vice-versa?

Of course! The rule set of your current shard will not prevent you from moving to a shard of a different type. So PvP, RP, PvE, or RPPvP to your heart’s content – Just remember, you’re subject to the rules of your new home! (For example, non-consensual PvP on PvP shards and stricter naming policies on RP shards.)

What about my stuff?

Everything except for items left in your mailbox, at the Auction House, and in your Guild Bank will be transferred with your character.

Will these transfers always be free for everyone?

For the foreseeable future – yes! We feel this feature will add a unique way to play RIFT and look forward to seeing how it goes!

Why are only some shards available for transfer?

We want the shard you select to provide the best experience possible. It is important that there remains a balance between Guardian and Defiant players to ensure that available shards do not become overpopulated or unbalanced. For this reason you will only be able to move to specific shards we’ve selected to accept new transfers. Please note the shards available for transfer may change over time.

Will I be able to change my character's faction (from Defiant to Guardian for example) when I transfer, or will I be able to transfer my character to another active account?

Not at this time. While these options are something we might look into in the future, they are currently not available.

Paypal

What is PayPal?

PayPal is an alternative payment method that is commonly used in place of credit cards. RIFT players can now link their existing PayPal account with their Trion accounts and use it as a payment method. PayPal can be used to purchase Standard and Collector’s Editions on the Trion Account Management Website as well as recurring RIFT Subscriptions.

How do I change my subscription from PayPal to a credit card or Game Time Card?

You can select the option to “Change Subscription” from the “Manage game” page in your Trion Account. Select the Subscription Plan of your choice and then select the payment method you would like to use. (If you have not yet added PayPal as a payment method, you can select the “Add new payment method” link and return to the Change Subscriptions process after adding PayPal.) After selecting both your preferred Subscription Plan and your payment method, select the option to “Update Subscription” and you are done.

I tried to make a RIFT purchase with my PayPal account and it failed, what do I do?

There are several reasons why a PayPal account payment will fail to process. Your PayPal account must be “Verified;” this means that your payment must have access to an “instant form of payment” in order to make a purchase. You can use PayPal under the following scenarios:

Your PayPal account has the proper amount of funds, and you have linked your bank account to your PayPal account. (If at any time you remove your bank account from your PayPal account you will not be able to make future purchases with this payment method, until you add your bank account back to your PayPal account.)
Your PayPal account has sufficient funds, and you have linked your credit card to your PayPal account.
Your PayPal account does not have sufficient funds, but you have linked your credit card to your PayPal account. This is still considered and instant payment by PayPal, so you can use this PayPal account for RIFT purchases.

How do I use PayPal to pay for RIFT?

You can ONLY use PayPal to pay for RIFT if your PayPal account is set up in one of the following ways:

Q. I have enough money to purchase the product in my PayPal account, and I have a linked Bank Account on PayPal. Can I purchase RIFT products?

A. YES, you can purchase RIFT products if your PayPal account has the enough money to pay for the RIFT product you are purchasing, and you have linked your bank account to the PayPal account.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: If at any time you remove your bank account from your PayPal account you will not be able to make future purchases with this payment method. You also cannot use this payment method if your PayPal account does not have enough money to pay for the RIFT product you are attempting to purchase. For the purchase to complete, you will need to transfer funds from your Bank Account to your PayPal account through the PayPal transfer service in your PayPal account.)

Q. I have enough money to purchase the product in my PayPal account, and I have a linked Credit/Debit Card. Can I purchase RIFT products?

A. YES, you can purchase RIFT products if your PayPal account has enough money to pay for the RIFT product you are purchasing, and you have linked your Credit/Debit Card to the PayPal account.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: If your PayPal balance is not enough to cover the RIFT purchase, the purchase will still complete and the remainder charged directly to your Credit Card.)

Q. I don’t have any money in my PayPal account, but I have a linked bank account and a linked Credit/Debit Card. Can I purchase RIFT products?

A. YES, you can purchase RIFT products if your PayPal account has no balance, but you have both a linked bank account and a linked Credit/Debit Card.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: The bank account will always be charged first, if the purchase fails it will then charge your linked credit card.)

Q. I don’t have enough money in my PayPal account, but I have a linked credit card. Can I purchase RIFT products?

A. YES, you can purchase RIFT products if your PayPal account has no balance, but you have a linked credit card.

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Your credit card will be charged directly if you do not have a PayPal balance to cover your purchase.)

Is PayPal available to RIFT players worldwide?

Yes, PayPal can be used for purchases anywhere in the world.

Will there be tax on PayPal transactions?

Yes, all applicable taxes apply to PayPal transactions.

I made a purchase with my PayPal payment method and now I want a refund. Do I contact PayPal or Trion?

Please contact Trion Customer Support if you purchased RIFT from the Trion website, and we will be happy to assist you.

I have never used PayPal. How do I set up an account?

Trion cannot assist in making a PayPal account. To create your PayPal account, please visit the PayPal website.

I have questions about my PayPal account balance, or adding/transferring funds from my bank account to my PayPal account.

Trion cannot assist in any direct PayPal actions such as adding, transferring, or checking available funds to your PayPal account. You will need to contact PayPal support staff directly for support.

RIFT Free Trial

Does RIFT have a Free Trial?

Yes! Anyone who has not purchased RIFT or previously played a RIFT Free Trial or Allies of the Ascended event can play the RIFT 7-day Free Trial. Before you play the RIFT Free Trial, make sure you don’t have a friend looking for recruits. You will not be eligible for recruitment through the Ascend-a-Friend program once you play the RIFT Free Trial.

I've already played the RIFT Free Trial. Can I play the Free Trial again?

I've recruited a friend. When/how do I get my reward?

I tried RIFT during the Allies of the Ascended event. Am I eligible to be recruited through the Ascend-a-Friend program?

No. Any account that participated in the Allies of the Ascended events is not eligible to be recruited.

Authenticator

What is the RIFT Mobile Authenticator?

The RIFT Mobile Authenticator is an application available for many iOS and Android devices. Once linked to your RIFT account, your Mobile Authenticator can be commanded to generate a unique key that is required to log in to RIFT. The Mobile Authenticator provides two-factor authentication (the first factor being your password), making it much harder for insidious individuals to gain unauthorized access to your account, even if your computer has been compromised. It is an entirely optional (but highly recommended!) security measure that offers users invaluable extra protection.

How do I get the RIFT Mobile Authenticator?

The RIFT Mobile Authenticator is available for iOS devices through iTunes and for Android powered devices through the Android Marketplace.

How much does the RIFT Mobile Authenticator cost?

The RIFT Mobile Authenticator is free in all formats!

How do I set up the RIFT Mobile Authenticator?

Yes! Such devices must have OS version 3.0 or higher.

How do I remove the RIFT Mobile Authenticator?

Contact Customer Support to have the Mobile Authenticator removed from your account before you remove it from your mobile device.

What if I remove the application from my mobile device before removing it from my RIFT account?

If you remove the Mobile Authenticator application while it is still linked, you will be unable to log in to your RIFT account. Please contact Trion Worlds Customer Support for assistance.

I lost my mobile device after activating the RIFT Mobile Authenticator. What should I do?

Please contact Trion Worlds Customer Support for assistance.

Can I protect more than one RIFT account?

A single mobile device can only be linked to a single RIFT account.

What devices does RIFT Mobile Authenticator work with?

Trion Worlds offers Android (v1.6 or higher) and iOS (v3.0 or higher) versions of the application. We hope to release additional versions for other platforms in the future.

Will a Trion Worlds representative ever ask for my Authenticator information?

Yes. A Trion Worlds customer service representative may ask for your authenticator code if you are having issues with the RIFT Mobile Authenticator. A customer service representative will never ask for your password.

Is it safe to use an authenticator other than an official RIFT Mobile Authenticator?

Trion Worlds does not recommend using any other authenticators for RIFT.

What else can I do to protect my account?

Securing your password is one of the best steps you can take to keep your account safe! Always use a unique and challenging password for your game account that includes letters, numbers, and symbols. Make sure your Trion Worlds account password is a completely unique password you’ve never used before. Avoid personal information and real words (in any language), since they are much easier to crack. Never share your information with anyone, and pay close attention to websites you visit. Never download any software from a source you don’t trust – in many cases, those are keyloggers! For further protection, regularly update your password.

Trion Worlds is working on additional account security measures to keep your loot locked tight, so keep checking RIFTgame.com for the latest news!
