Rift Datamining – 313 days later edition

Rift’s last patch was March 25, 2021, with the last datamining being available on March 20th. Finally, after 313 days, there is a NEW patch for Rift. It’s small, it’s not much, but we have a few things to datamine, so let’s dive into it.

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

Summary

  • New Hellbug Call To Action Items
  • Miscellaneous items and icons

New Hellbug Call To Action Items

2 new icons and a new model for a new companion – Erebos.

Miscellaneous items and icons

We also get 3 new Chest icons, a spider model was patched in, and what looks like a new store item. It is not clear yet how this spider model will be used, but it appears to be new.

Store item: Rider’s Artifact Hunting Kit – Allows you to harvest artifacts without dismounting for 8 hours. This effect lasts through death. Price is unknown.

There is evidence for an upcoming companion pet named “Lock Boxes” that summons a Lock box companion. No other data is available for this aside from translation text.

Box icons are listed as “gift bronze”, “gift silver”, and “gift gold”. No details on what these will be used for.

In addition to all of this, the “Hero’s Crystal” items that were on PTS for the “Planar Incursion” system back in early 2021 have had multiple name changes, but no further refinement is currently observed for this system.

That’s all for today. Small patch, but let’s hope for larger patches in the future.

One comment

  • Appreciate the datamining!

    Rider’s Artifact Hunting Kit is really goofy – Opie mount lets you collect artifacts without dismounting.
    Spider looks neat, absolutely not looking forward to Planar Incursion (I already did Planar Weapon for my Rogue).
    Disappointed to be honest but that’s been Rift for awhile.
