[p]Here is the list of changes and fixes from the August 5, 2025, maintenance. 
 
Seasonal Events 
 
- Fae Yule is now scheduled with the proper dates in-game. 
The 4-hour minion missions have been enabled for the duration of Fae Yule. 
 
- Autumn Harvest is now scheduled with the proper dates in-game. 
The 4-hour minion missions have been enabled for the duration of the Autumn Harvest. 
 
Bug Fixes 
 
- Prismatic Planar Earrings and Prismatic Planar Earrings buffs for all callings now behave correctly when the character dies and respawns. 
(Previously, the buffs would disappear upon death, and the player would need to re-equip the earrings to allow the buffs to activate once more.) 
 
- The new capes from the July 22, 2025, patch are no longer dyeable. 
(When trying to dye the primary dye channel of any of the capes, the textures would disappear.) 
 
- Adjusted some images that looked distorted in the RIFT store. 
 
- Resolved an issue with the Object Distance setting not applying correctly. 
(RIFT’s object distance regulates itself with RAM usage, depending on the user’s machine capabilities – with this change, we have effectively increased the overall limit before RIFT self-regulates and reduces the object distance to favour smooth performance over pretty graphics. 
 
For low-end machines, Object Distance will continue to work as it has till now. 
Higher-end users will now see higher Object Distance more often due to the increased RAM limit usage cap – assuming the setting is set to the maximum of 180) 
 
New Items 
 
Three new Ursin mounts and four new Tiger mounts have been introduced. 
These mounts will become available in RIFT in the following weeks. 
 
We thank you for your continued support!
