This week, our stream is FULL of winners: we’re announcing the Shiny Stories winners as well as the Prime: Vigil Month 1 Challenge winners!

Join Brasse and Amary for this week’s livestream! We just published The Path Ahead – Spring Edition, which outlines not only this week’s patch, but what’s coming up for RIFT: Prime services. We’re collecting questions for the stream here, and Amary will arrive with her usual stack of spreadsheets, schedules and information about what’s up in RIFT!

We can hardly wait to announce the winners of Shiny Stories, a terrific artifact story contest created by Seshatar!

Finally, we’ll announce the winners of the Prime: Vigil Month 1 Challenge winners, and review what feats are underway for Month 2!

RIFT Livestream

Every Friday, 11:30 AM Pacific (18:30 UTC)

A great new challenge has been dreamed up by Seshater, long-time friend to all Telarans! You’ve got the shinies, lets tell a story!

Shinies? Stories? So how does it work?

Build a short story by using the names of artifacts! You do not have to have the artifacts collected on your character. There are well over ten thousand artifact names to choose from, so your creativity has almost no borders.

The Rules

• You must use the full artifact names (not only parts of the name)
• You are allowed to use between 20 (min) and 50 (max) artifact names for your story
• For each different artifact in your story, you are allowed to use 2 other words of your choice to add to the story.
• Each sentence must at least include 2 artifact names.
• To make things easy for us when evaluating the entries, please write your story with artifact names in square brackets, i.e. [artifact name]

A very short example:

[Volturnus] has a [Death Fetish] for [Zombie Skin] and [Undead Flesh]. [No No Stop Eating My Face] he said to [Dead Simon]. [Cold Dead Eyes] stared, while [Dead Man’s Fingers] touched his [Blue Head Feather].

Deadline for entries:

Submit your stories by posting them in this thread until 2018-03-31 (11:59 pm PDT).

The winners will be chosen in the week following, by the Lord of All Shinies himself, DeadSimon, the always opinionated CaptainCursor, and their Dwarven compatriot, Brasse.

Bonus points are offered for good stories with NO filler words – actual prepositions are among legitimate available artifacts – check the catalog yourself!

Prizes:

• If winners are on RIFT Live: A selection of cool mounts will be offered for the winners from RIFT Live to choose from, including Community Snails and Tuskars.
• If winners are on RIFT Prime: 30-day patron codes.
• 5 random legitimate entries will also earn 30-day Patron codes!

The winning entries will be read out loud on a RIFT Livestream by Brasse, Dead Simon and CaptainCursor!

Get it? Got it? Good! Now start writing.

HAVE FUN!

Summerfest is over but the fun in Telara is just warming up! Get your special Artifact eyes out and prepare to hunt for shinies!

Shiny Shenanigans starts on August 17th! Artifact piñatas will appear around Telara in one of 15 possible locations per zone, with up to five that can be active at any given time. That is of course, except for Tyrant Throne, which has only three at a time.

Artifact Eyes Reward

Artifact Eyes – the penultimate fashion accessory!

Hurry and earn those artifact sets to unlock “Artifact Eyes”, special cosmetic abilities that really make your eyes glow! For example, you can earn Poison Artifact Eyes for completing the poison set. The Meta set containing all the eyes then grants the Rainbow Artifact Eyes ability, which changes color every five seconds.

Artifact Sale

Besides the piñatas scattered across the land, we also have some great savings for you! Artifact draws will be on sale, making it easier to complete your collections in record time. Plus, Artifact tracking potions will be 15% off in the RIFT store during Shiny Shenanigans!

Get in-game and collect as many shinies as you can! Shiny Shenanigans runs from Thursday, August 17, 2017 at 12:01 AM PDT until Tuesday, August 22, 2017 at 11:59 PM PDT.

Kick off the Shiny Shenanigans weekend with @Dev_DeadSimon and @Brasse on stream!

[EDIT: The livestream is over, but we have the video here for you! https://youtu.be/UNLGVSBpDNk]

Join us for the RIFT Livestream on Friday, May 26th, 2017 and learn all you ever wanted to know about our new artifact sets and Pinatas. Log into game to take part in DeadSimon’s own exclusive artifact set run. Be wary though, because he can become quite dangerous when riled up; don’t say we didn’t warn you!

This will not be the last you see of the DeadSimon artifact set, but it will be the world premiere! Do NOT miss it!

Post all your artifact-related questions to our forum thread!
