    Cool New Fae Yule goodies and Sled race in 2.1

    Update 2.1 went up for some testing tonight on the PTS, seems to be just the Christmas Event so far, took a look out to the Dendrome, still sealed

    Some new items have been added to the vendor, hope you all kept your stock of Unique Snowflakes from last year
    A few of the new items:




    First up, you can now upgrade helms with the familiar Storm Legion interface, for example, this blue helm:





    becomes this purple helm



    A new mini game has been added which will have you sleding down a mountain, yes head to IPP and enjoy the repeatable quests to knock over snowmen and test your driving skills by steering through "gates" of flags

    Is this just for the x-mas helm?

    If not trion did this in not even half the time blizzard took to implement the upgrade item mechanic.

    If you like playing with Dimensions, one of the Trion Devs, Talleen, threw this Christmas themed Dimension, looks sweet

    The upgrade mechanic is already in effect and has been since the release of Storm Legion. Adventure Gear and Planar Gear can both be upgraded in the same way the Holiday cap can. Doesn't matter if it's boots, helms, wands, shields or whathaveyou.

    Not all the run-of-the-mill gear can be upgraded, but progressive armor sets and pieces exist for alternative end-game gear.

    Seriously going to need to quit my job to play Rift at this rate. I think Rift is getting to that point where I can see putting idiot hours into a mmorpg.

    Any sign of being able to put snow on the ground, or is mr.Dev cheating?

    These additions look awesome!

    Also, it feels like the last Fae Yule was practically yesterday to me. O_o

    Yes. Upon your return, I will gift you a beautiful flower."

    Holy hell, where will I find the time. Already so much to do in Rift in a day... but I am excited for this I have really enjoyed the holiday events in Rift. For a *shineys* junkie like me the Realm of the Fae one was epic.

    For those of you wondering about the canes, the snow, and other assorted features in the dimension; we've gotten a cryptic response to those questions saying:

    "There is more than one vendor"

    I slacked off a bit in posting these, was browsing my screenies folder and had forgotten about them

    For achievement and titles chasers, this will keep you happy

    First up, achievements for the Fire saga have been added on the PTS



    New SL Faction achievements and titles



    Titles are:

    Torvan Hunters = Torvan Legend
    Lycini = Lycini Royalty
    Eternal City Survivors = City Survivor
    Necropolis Caretakers = Keeper of the Dead
    Qaijiri = Tribal Elder

    For those interested in Pee Vee Pee, a few new achievements added for the Fae Yule event



    After all that talk of killing other players and stuff, let's end up with the cutesy wutesy screenshot

    Faction achievements and titles are not new to 2.1. They've been available to earn since launch.

    Yeah, that was totally my mistake and a blonde moment, i meant to do the titles you get from the Fire saga achievements, or at least that's my excuse

    Thanks for the heads up Elrar, already got the pressie pile in the mail, fast turnaround from applying the code

    Phase 2 of the Fae Yule is up for testing on the PTS



    If you don't have any mount or like to collect them, the new mount vendors have the easiest quest ever to get a reindeer mount!!

    Simply run around Sanctum/Meridian and collect 10 Icebud plants, that's it, instant mount for little effort





    Finally, proof that Trion Devs burn the midnight oil, seems Mortt forgot to log out after last night's test session, this was taken at 3am his time
