The Rift 1.3: Waves of Madness update hit last week and the madness has begun.
Guardians and Defiant alike will need all their skills to defeat the hordes of Water and Death and turn back the ancient horror that has escaped from its Dwarven prison.
The 1.3 update includes:
• Free In-Game Character Transfers – Move your characters between selected shards once a week, free of charge!
• Hammerknell Raid – Colossal 20-player raid will pit you and your Ascended comrades against Tidelord Jornaru's unspeakable minions, new adversaries, and fearsome challenges!
• Hammerknell World Event – The forces of Water and Death will wash across the land in an attempt to claim Hammerknell. Awesome bind-on-account loot awaits the Ascended.
• Hammerknell Item Sets – Earn added benefits for collecting all the pieces in these new item sets.
• Guild Banks – Organize your loot in your new Guild Bank.
• More Wardrobe Items – Including Hammerknell-themed items!
• Twisted Artifacts – Go in quest of new artifact collections from beyond the planes. If you have obtained Omen Sight or Quantum Sight abilities, these rare and special items are yours to discover.
• Open-World PvP Quests – New level-50 daily quests that grant favor rewards have been added. Visit Thedeor's Circle in Sanctum or the Catari Command Center in Meridian to learn more!
