It’s a long weekend here in the US, and we invite all our fellow RIFTers around the globe to join us. Kick back, relax and set your timers for bonus xp and gorgeous mounts!

Here’s all the details…

BONUS EXPERIENCE WEEKEND!

Last week’s epic soul patch came with epic downtime – thanks for hanging in there with us! To make it up to you, we’re adding bonus experience gains to both Live and Prime, in effect from Thursday, May 24 through Tuesday, May 29th!

(Insider note – bonus XP will actually run until the patch on Wednesday, May 30^th – that time has not been set yet!)

Live: 50% bonus to Guild XP and Planar Attunement XP

Prime: 50% Adventuring XP

Live only: NEW BLOOD RAPTOR POWER PACK $19.99 USD

Fresh for Spring, we’ve lovingly hatched out an Blood Raptor, raised him on only the best food from Archonix’ larder, armored him up and trained him to carry at the top speed of 160% anywhere you want! Yes, anywhere – we even taught him to swim!

This Raptor is happy to carry every character on your account.
Raptors can be notoriously shy when young, so we’ve included an adorable little buddy to go with: all your characters can now snuggle up to their very own Verde pet!

It’s the growing season, and it’s far too easy to fill your pockets with all the things you pick up along the way – you clearly need a 40-slot Boundless Satchel to help you out.

We top it all off with a 15-day Patron Pass!

Live only: LIMITED TIME RARE MOUNT SALE

This weekend, you can take advantage of 25% off all current premium mount sales!

We also bring you a gorgeous carousel of rarely seen former supply crate mounts, rotating throughout the weekend. You’ll have two chances to purchase each mount, so set your timers for the ones you love most!

The Planar Plucker was built from scavenged bits of Crucia’s defeated army; our take on beating swords to ploughshares! This brand new mount model is ready to help you harvest plants and wood without dismounting!

RIFT Live store update!

If you do any harvesting at all, you know the drill; run to a node, dismount, harvest, remount, run to the next node. Hop off, dig, hop on, run, hop off, dig, hop on… it is time-wasting, achy-breaky work! Stoop no more!

Ride high and reap well with the brand new Planar Plucker! This beauty comes with a lifetime warranty. You’ll never have to take it in for servicing, and thanks to Crucia’s stunning no-waste fuel cells, the Plucker is entirely energy efficient!  By the way, no need to mention to her that we made off with the tech. That might not end well.

These are rare and highly sought-after mounts, and like the Greenata, is available for direct sale on the store! They go on sale April 25th, for a limited time. The Planar Plucker is available only on RIFT Live; Prime folks don’t even know who Crucia IS yet. They’ll find out soon enough…

We’re also bringing back the White Squirrel Mount for direct sale! As much as we all love squirrels, they have not managed the leap to Prime yet, so they will be offered on our Live service only!

Many of you have asked for combat pet skins to come back, and in honor of Defiance 2050’s Beta weekends, we’re bringing back the Hellbug combat pet skin bundles! A different hellbug skin for Druids, Necromancers, Rogues and Warriors! Snap them up fast! Available on the RIFT store on our Live service only!

RIFT Prime Store update!

We have some lovely new offerings for citizens of Vigil! On April 25th, you’ll be able to collect lovely new-to-you mounts, companion pets and costumes! All are available for credits on the RIFT in-game store.

MOUNTS:

Aurora, regal and stunning in every shofting shades of blue, will increase your speed by 60%, and will scale up if you acquire faster mounts over time. Aurora was first made available on Live through the Carnival of the Ascended, and she has now made her way to Vigil!

We know many of you have enjoyed your Armored White Tiger, but who doesn’t love to switch things up now and then? Let’s take a ride on the dark side with the Armored Black Tiger. It’s ebon hues are perfect for formal occasions or for sneaking up on your enemies at night. He offers 60% speed boost, or will match the level of your fastest mount.

COMPANION PETS:

It’s raining cats and dogs – here, take one of each!

Corpus Kitty – everyone’s favorite undead cat. Clearly she wasn’t ready to leave this plane after her seven lives were used up! A perfect companion for practitioners of dark arts, or those who just want something a little less ordinary.

Kirby – you’ve seen him lounging magnificently on our livestreams, and now you can help Kirby get the exercise he so desperately needs!

COSTUMES:

A change of costume may make all the difference. Don the Centurion’s Bundle or Sanctuary Guard’s Bundle and shine in any circumstance! Completely stain-proof, these outfits will not be ruined after a long night’s hunting foray or drunken adventure through the dankest dungeons!
