RIFT 4.1: Hotfix #7 5/10/2017
Rift 4.1 Hotfix #7 has arrived, and with it comes a new round of class balancing and the launch of the Intrepid: Rise of the Phoenix raid. There are a few changes to this new level 70 raid, aside from the up-scaling. Those have been detailed on Rift’s site. To summarize the major changes: “Debuffs that affected toughness, now affect Guard instead, while Seething Cores received a bit of an A.I. overhaul and some adjustments to their abilities.”
In addition, the Starfall Prophecy expansion has been split into 2 forms, a “Prophecy of Ahnket” pack that gives you full expansion access, and a “Celestial Adventuers Pack” that gives you the deluxe edition goodies. At the time of this writing, neither pack is actually available for purchase, and the site detailing it is not accessible.
== FEATURES ==
INTREPID RISE OF THE PHOENIX
Intrepid Rise of the Phoenix is here, and going live at the same time on EU and NA servers! The time is tentatively set for 12:00 PM PDT / 7 PM UTC.
This sliver promises a hot challenge for max-level raiders! Jump through the eons to an Eth Empire under siege by powerful Dragonian forces. Living flames have swept across Stonefield, warping Eth sorcerers and turning High Priest Arakhurn into a raging phoenix. Stop the devastation before otherworldly calamity spills unhindered through the planar gate and into this dimension.

NEW PACKS!
* We’ve added new packs that are available to players: the Prophecy of Ahnket Access Pack and the Celestial Adventures Pack!
* The Prophecy of Ahnket Access Pack is exactly as it sounds: it grants access to the Comet of Ahnket expansion, the new Raid, the expanded level cap, and a lot more content that’s coming this year!
* The Celestial Adventuers Pack has a number of extra add-ons, and does not include the expansion itself. Instead, this will net you the ferocious Ethereal Drake Mount, the legendary style of Asha Catari’s Raiment (there are both male and female versions!), and a Gorgeous Ring of Ahnket Portrait Frame.
