Rift Datamining – July 25 Live/Prime patch

Today’s patch doesn’t bring much, opens up River of Souls on Prime, and offers a new mount on the store for Live.  However, what’s hidden in the data is far more interesting.  Let’s take a look.

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

  • Arctic Kitsune Mount
  • Tenebrean Trouble item icons
  • River of Souls LFR requirements
  • Eternal Armor Bundle (Cosmetic!)
  • Call to Action event information

Arctic Kitsune Mount

This is a new mount arriving on the Rift Store with this patch.  However, it has existed in the game files for quite some time.  Pic below from TelaraFly.

Tenebrean Trouble item icons

All of these are labeled as “p_puzzle_y_pentomino_01_sphere”.

I suspect these are related to the following texture.  Though I do not think we will know how until these puzzles come to live.

River of Souls LFR requirements

Now on to the client-side data.  River of Souls (RoS) LFR requirements have been patched.  They are simple:

  • Tank: 450 Endurance + 150 Hit
  • All others: 150 Hit

Eternal Armor Bundle (Cosmetic!)

Text for a cosmetic “Eternal Armor Bundle” has been datamined.  This appears to be cosmetic, and NOT actual Eternal Armor! (also, there’s a typo for Ascended).

“Eternal Armor Bundle – These artifacts of Tenebrean power have survived countless eons. While the power of them might be out of the reach of most Asceneded, the Mages of Alittu have crafted the visual facsimiles.”

There is also a new skin “Devouring Blade of the Bloodstorm” – which is the unused 1H axe eternal skin. Flavor text should read “Once wielded only by the mightiest warlords of the Bloodstorm, its fearsome visage can now be yours!”.

Call to Action event information

Finally, we have the “Call to Action” event.  This appears to replace the old “Mayhem in Mathosia” event from long ago, and I suspect some of the quests for this might be related.

Some event data:

  • CTA – Zone Event – 01 – FM SW
  • CTA – Zone Event – 02 – GW SF
  • CTA – Zone Event – 03 – SG
  • CTA – Zone Event – 04 – SR
  • CTA – Zone Event – 05 – IP
  • CTA – Zone Event – 06 – MH
  • CTA – Zone Event – 07 – DL
  • CTA – Zone Event – 08 – SS
  • CTA – Zone Event – 09 – SM
  • CTA – Zone Event – 10 – EI
  • CTA – Hellbugs – Off
  • CTA – Hellbugs – On

Data associated with this event has several references to Hellbugs.  In addition, there seem to be 2 new rewards for this event, as well as a new event currency.

Currency: “Chaos Mote”

Rewards:

  • “Tartarus Hellbug” companion pet (This sounds likely given the hellbug references)
  • “Chased By Nightmares” title (potentially, this isn’t confirmed)
