Rift Live Datamining – Déjà vu?
Well, this is news and good to see, yet another patch is staged for Rift. Last patch went live on June 24th, and this one comes just a bit under a month later. Maybe this will continue? The Rift website has definitely changed as well, which is interesting to note. Well, new patch, new things, let’s dive in as usual.

Summary
- New Capes + Halo effect spells
- New Store banners
- New Icons
- Updated bear texture
New Capes
5 New capes have appeared, including one labeled “GC 2025”, which appears to be a unique cape for GamesCom 2025 in August. The capes each come with “an exclusive spell” to activate a specific halo. The halos appears to be effects based, but there are icons for these.
New Store banners
New store banners, both with and without the “New” label on them. They do showcase 2 of the new halo effects that go with the capes.
New Icons
Of course, lots of new icons to go with all of this.
It’s not clear where the “Rainbow Trail” fits in with all of this, but I’m going to speculate that it’s a GamesCom exclusive, as that is the only piece that seems to kinda fit.
Updated bear texture
The Riftbound ursin from last patch has been updated to have a more reasonable 1024×1024 pixel texture. It may lose a bit of detail in-game, but it will likely be better for the game’s performance.
(Left old 2844×2844, Right new 1024×1024,)
That’s all for today. Turns out, Gamigo got another patch out. We’ll keep watching as always!
