Rift Datamining – April Report! (spoilers abound!)

It’s uh.. been a while since I’ve done a datamining post.  Let me blame real life again, it’s convenient that way!  Anyway, let’s just delve in, shall we?  There isn’t a whole ton to cover, but I believe that the client database information is interesting and useful!

As always, you can join in the discussion of Rift and Rift Prime on both The Ghar Station Discord and on the Rift focused Heroes of Telara Discord.  Please follow us on twitter @TheGharStation.

Summary

  • New LFR preview inserts
  • A shady dimension item
  • Another Balloon mount
  • New wardrobe items
  • Client database info
  • Tenebrean Prison Achievements

New LFR preview inserts

Let’s start here.  Drowned Halls and Gilded Prophecy have new UI preview pics for the LFR menu.

A shady dimension item

While the new Summerfest dimension items are still being held captive in the Main dev-only branch over at Trion HQ, one shady thing did leak out!

Another Balloon mount

Laethys balloon mount confirmed!

New wardrobe items

Some of these new wardrobe items are clearly destined for summerfest, while others are most likely for autumn harvest later this year.

Client database info

So here is where some things get interesting.  Recently for Rift Prime, there have been some behind the scenes changes to how combat calculations are performed.  After some digging around, I have figure out how a part of this was implemented, and what the new damage modification values are for Rift Prime servers.  These values are in effect right now on the Omega server for PTS testing.

This modification is now a hidden stat applied to a player that changes with their current level.  Up to level 50 has been defined right now on Omega.  There are 2 modifiers: one that modifies damage dealt, and one that modifies damage taken.

A full breakdown of these values is available online here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OD7F17UDneJvowFTvpx1bYYLo1Y0RGU64cESH7GaDCI/edit?usp=sharing

Tenebrean Prison Achievements

Hey! There are in on PTS right now, and should (theoretically) be available once the alpha shard opens up again.  Let’s look at them real fast! (I don’t have the point values here, but just the names/objectives)

  • Prison Breaker – Use the teleport in Tenebrean Prison 50 times.
