Rift Live Datamining – Budgie + Carnival double trouble edition

So, looks like we are getting Carnival and the Budgie CTA in April. It is important to understand that at the end of March there were layoffs on the Gamigo side, including a significant reduction of the Community Management team. Information suggests that this patch was being worked on BEFORE the layoffs occurred, and was in testing when layoffs did happen. This is crucial information to know, as it suggests some things here may not be finished or available in-game when the appropriate events go live.

Let’s jump in regardless.

Summary

  • New Recolored Cosmetics
  • New Easter Themed Cosmetics
  • New Capes and Wings
  • New Armored Dragon Mounts
  • New miscellaneous Icons
  • Battle Pass 1 details
  • New Titles

New Recolored Cosmetics
These are a recolor of the existing “Queen Una Regalia” armor, so not new models. To keep this from being too much, only the body armor recolors will be shown after the first since the rest follow the same color schemes. First icons, then armor.

New Easter Themed Cosmetics
Bunny ears and new bunny companion pets.

New Capes and Wings
New capes, and new Fairy themed wings.

New Armored Dragon Mounts
3 new armored dragon mounts. Labeled as “Fireball”, “Lightning”, and “Waterfall”.

New miscellaneous Icons
A bunch of randomly assorted icons. These don’t seem to have an apparent home yet, but may tie into new event items or other projects in progress or abandoned.

It is likely these icons are quest items for the new Budgie Call to Action event quests. For details of the additions, there is an official site post here: https://www.trionworlds.com/rift/en/2022/04/13/patch-budgie-carnival-celebration/

new quests are:

  • Budgie Wisp
  • Budgie Spirit
  • Lost Hatchling
  • Budgie Mare
  • Mystical Hatchling
  • Energy Stone
  • Lost Medallion
  • Void Conductor
  • Tavern’s Cup
  • Librarian’s Lost Book

Battle Pass 1 details

Battle Pass 1 is coming back, and appears to be properly setup with account flags specific to a 2022 re-run. There are 5 rewards for credits, and 3 for loyalty.

New Titles

Bunch of new titles, some of which go with the “Planar Champion”/”Planar Incursion” system that was on PTS back in March 2021 before dev layoffs occurred. We’re guessing these are leftovers from that work that have made their way live. They may not be available in-game.
