Rift Datamining – May 23 live/prime patch

Today’s Rift patch brings with it changes to Prime XP rates, further class tweaks to Warriors, and an extension of a feature of the Mage’s Harbinger class.  While Summerfest items have not been patched in yet (c’mon Trion! throw us some new assets!), there is a nice chunk of new database information to go over.

Summary

  • Mount Sale
  • New Power Pack
  • Prime XP changes
  • Class tooltip changes

Mount Sale

Looks like a new mount sale is imminent for Rift.  Here are the datamined mounts for sale for each day.

New Power Pack

A New “Blood Raptor Power Pack” will be going on sale.  “Unlocks an Armored Blood Raptor, an adorable baby dragon companion pet, a 40 slot bag and 15 days of Patron time.”

While I cannot confirm the mount at this time, I believe this is what we will be getting:

Prime XP changes

Prime XP per level has been decreased for level 30-50.  The new values aren’t as drastic as what we were going to get last week.

Overall, 11% less XP is required from 1-50.  XP per level reductions start at 1% at level 30, ramps up to 16% at level 49.

Class Tooltip changes

Further class tooltip and balance changes are in.  A new document has been created to highlight these.  Of note are Tempest and Reaver changes, and new versions of the Harbinger blade spells that, presumably, allow you to have the blade buff without the blade.  Wardobe misfits rejoice!
