New Planar Disciples

Got a few classes to give an idea about the current progress of the system.  Planar Disciple levels still seem to be capped at 6 given the current data

  • Summon: Planar Disciple Void Knight
  • Summon: Planar Disciple Pyromancer
  • Summon: Planar Disciple Riftblade
  • Summon: Planar Disciple Purifier
  • Summon: Planar Disciple Warlock
  • Summon: Elf Male Planar Disciple

New Dimension

A new dimension has been added – Xarth Mire.  Got new loading screen & Dimensions UI banner.  Click to see full size versions.

Imathrowback has provided us with a Telarafly view of the dimension ahead of its release.

Mech Week Minion Data

This went unposted last week, but imathrowback datamined and detailed the max stats for the Call to Action: Mech Week minions.  Provided below.

New Icons

19 new icons in total.  Let’s attempt to categorize them.

Surprisingly, these are likely the new Autumn Harvest weapons

Likely new Autumn harvest costume helms

New companion pets

New backpacks

New poison autumn levitation mount.  Not sure how this one will look, it’s graphical effects only.

Miscellaneous icons.  Mushrooms for dimensions? not 100% sure at the moment about these.

New Costume items

Time to delve into some new models!  These pics are provided by imathrowback over on The Ghar Station Discord.  Pics provided using Telarafly.

First up, the Frost Knight set

New costume helms

New Companion pets

New backpack and wings

Curiously, a tail.  This appears to be a costume option for players.

Further details on the new models from imathrowback:

The tails are textured and there is one for every gender/race, but they don’t appear to have animations assigned to them in the KFB (the NIF model animation files). Alternately they may be controlled via some other method, something at runtime via physx maybe. They attach to the hip but i’m not sure what slot they go in (possibly cape?).
The skull masks have a blink animation and there is a ranged bow with those weapons but telarafly still has trouble with bows

Prime Storm Legion Hit Requirements

  • Storm Legion Expert Dungeon: 320
  • Storm Legion Tier 1 Raid: 420

Prime Storm Legion XP Table

XP requirements for levels 30 through 50 have been decreased, dramatically at some points.  Overall, these changes have adjusted the XP requirements from 1-50 on Prime, reducing the total XP required by around 12.8%.

Level 50-60 XP requirements for Prime are increased over the Live values.  Overall, XP from 50-60 is increased by ~47.8% compared to live values.

All of this info is updated to our Rift Mechanics Spreadsheet, which you can find by CLICKING HERE.

Prime Storm Legion Damage Calc updates

Currently, at level 50 on Prime, combat damage is multiplied by 0.38 compared to the live value calculations.  This means that you do 38% of the damage you would on Live with the same stats and spec.  While leveling from 50-60, this value increases by 0.1 per level up to 58, then 0.2 until 60.
