Rift Live Datamining – January 30th Staged Data

January 30, 2026

It’s been a few months, but this week we got a staged patch that I believe should make some guilds and events within the Rift community very excited. Staged this week is version “STABLE-1-1131-a-1256145”, and will likely go live on February 3, 2026.

Let’s dive in and see what we find!

Summary

New Mount
Battlepass Re-run
XP Lock evidence

New Mount

Gamigo likes to create new mounts it seems since it has started making small bug fixes to the game. This month is no different. This mount looks to be named “Faerus”.

New store page to go alongside the mount as well

Battlepass Re-run

February 3rd is also slated to start the re-run of the 3rd battle pass “Frozen Waters”. As detailed on Cadrift, this was last run April to May of 2020. The data for it indicates that it may have been originally planned to re-run in 2025, but plans seem to have changed and the re-run of Battle Pass 2 was set to run for over 4 months (August 2025 to January 2026).

Client-side database lists it as “RIFT_BATTLE_PASS_FROZEN_WATERS_2025”.

XP Lock evidence

Seems the Gamgio team has figured out how to modify the UI, which is actually a set of Flash windows written using Actionscript. Fortunately there are tools available to decompile and analyze Flash .swf/.gfx files.

Let’s review a before and after versions of the Options UI pane to see the evidence fairly clearly.

First, the before, showing where the “EnableLockBoxAnimation” check is at in the game’s UI.

You can see this clearly in-game as well:

Now for the updated Options UI pane with the staged patch:

This one shows that there is now a “LockXP” option just below where the current “EnableLockBoxAnimation” checkbox is at.

Here’s a side-by-side to help get the locations across. Left is the UI live (as of January 30th, 2026), rift is the UI staged that has been datamined.
