Rift Datamining – Prime Patch (Spoilers for Prime & 4.4 content)
The patch for Rift Prime is here (or at least staged for download), and wouldn’t you know it, it’s not much different than what is already on the PTS. We have a writeup of what we datamined for 4.4, carnival, and Prime in an earlier post (click here to go to it). Fortunately, there are a few new things, especially in the client database.
You can join in the discussion of prime on both The Ghar Station Discord and on the Rift focused Heroes of Telara Discord. Please follow us on twitter @TheGharStation.
Let’s dive in!
Summary
- New Tenebrean Prison loading screens
- More Rift Prime database shenanigans!
New Tenebrean Prison loading screens
Two new loading screens for the Tenebrean Prison warfront (click to see full size versions)! As we are writing this before Prime goes live, and before patch notes, it is unknown if this warfront will launch alongside Prime, or if it will be available later in March.
More Rift Prime database shenanigans!
Rift Prime has brought forth quite a number of client database changes. There is a lot of new, and expanded data tables that will require additional analysis in the future. For now, there’s still a lot we can glean from what exists.
Prime Challenges
Looks like we will be getting a total of 9 Rift Prime challenges to launch with
Prime Challenge: Master Crafter – “Become a fully skilled Master in any one of the following trades.”
Prime Challenge: Master Gatherer – ”
Become a fully skilled Master in any one of the following gathering abilities.”
Prime
Challenge: Collect 25 Artifact Sets – “Collect 25 sets of Artifacts.”
Prime Challenge: Iron Tomb
– “Defeat the bosses of Iron Tomb on Rift Prime.”
Prime Challenge: Realm of the Fae
– “Defeat the bosses of Realm of the Fae on Rift Prime.”
Prime Challenge: Darkening Deeps
– “Defeat the bosses of Darkening Deeps on Rift Prime.”
Prime Challenge: Foul Cascade
– “Defeat the bosses of Foul Cascade on Rift Prime.”
Prime Challenge: Deepstrike Mines
– “Defeat the bosses of Deepstrike Mines on Rift Prime.”
Prime Challenge: King’s Breach – “Defeat the bosses of King’s Breach on Rift Prime.”
Hit Requirements
It seems that the hit requirements for Prime content have made it as strings into the data for this patch. These changes definitely imply there are some itemization changes coming, and they confirm that LFR will definitely be coming to Prime! It will be interesting to see what that involves.
Increases your chance to hit high-level enemies. Suggested values:
Classic Expert Dungeon: 1000
Classic Looking for Raid: 1000
Classic Tier 1 Raid: 1200
We have more data regarding the “Call to Action” rifts, these appear to relate to the gear icons we datamined in our previous post, but there appear to be rifts associated with this.
Rift – CTA – EP0 – Earth – Mining Silverwood Freemarch- Minor
Major Rift – CTA – Life – Aelfwar – Raider
Major Rift – CTA – Life – Aelfwar – Mages
Major Rift – CTA – Life – Aelfwar – Knight
Major Rift – CTA – Life – Aelfwar – Beastmaster
Major Rift – CTA – Life – Aelfwar – Thorns
Current speculation is that “Call To Action” is related to the old “Mayhem in Mathosia” events of the past (see: https://riftgrate.com/2014/03/15/mayhem-in-mathosia/)
This is all for the time being. Like I said, not too much new, but a few cool things for sure! As we delve deeper into the database changes, we will try to present our findings.
You can always keep up with the latest on our discord (link at the top of this article).
