Activities RIFT Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
When it comes to gameplay, Rift has a lot to offer.
On the quick menu bar there is a button Activities. After clicking it you will see a list of things that you can do
Chronicles
Chronicles are instances made for one or two players. It can easily be completed by a one player if he has a decent gear.
Conquest
A PvP Match on a big scale. Players can pick from three different factions:
Nightfall - The Raven, Dominion - The Ram and Oathsworm - The Lion.
The main goal is to take control of Control Points and Sourcestone Extractors that are spread around the map. The match ends when one of the factions takes over 40% of the Control Points, or when 5,000 players will die. When that happens, a 10 minute timer will start and this will give players a last chance to grab a Control Point, after which they will earn their rewards.
Instant Adventure
Instant Adventure is another way to spend your free time. Clicking that button will automatically put you into a queue in order to find you a group. Then it teleports you to a region where you and your group will be faced with all sorts of quests. The amount of mobs required to kill will be higher when there's more players joining the group. With each completed quest you gain XP.
Looking for Group
Looking for Group is a built-in system that's meant to help players find their groups for Dungeons
Dungeons are special locations across the world of Telara. Those locations are instanced, and the look and interior of the Dungeons are different from one another. Some of them even change during the progress of a group.
There's a few different kinds of Dungeons and their difficulty levels, and they are:
- Chronicles of Telara - made for one or two players
- Normal Dungeons - made for 5-player groups. You can find them in every region. The difficulty level of the dungeon is appropriate to the level of the region.
- Expert Dungeons - are more difficult versions of Normal Dungeons. Made for 5-player groups and they are similar to their normal version but feature more difficult content and additional bosses. Only players on Level 50 can enter those Dungeons
- Raids - designed for 10 and 20-player groups. Raids offer very challenging fights and it will take a large group of well equipped players in order to progress
Expert Gear, that players gain in Expert Dungeons, Rifts or bought by Plague of Achievement introduces a new type of stats:
- Hit reduces the chance of physical abilities to be resisted (required for Rogues and Warriors)
- Focus reduces the chance of magical spells to be resisted (required for Mages and Clerics)
- Toughness reduces the amount of critical damage taken (required for any Tank)
Dungeons and Raids are split into different Tiers according to the amount of those stats. By going to Dungeons that are above your Tier, it will result in more difficult and challenging experience (attacks will be resisted, and Tanks will be getting critically hit by mobs)
