September 16, 2025 - Patch Notes

[p]Here is the list of changes and fixes from the September 16, 2025 maintenance. [/p][p] [/p][p]Battle Pass[/p][p] [/p][p]- Resolved an issue that caused some players to obtain the bonus Battle Pass rewards without the purchase of the rerun pass. [/p][p] [/p][p]- Resolved an issue that caused several quests to be missing their intended rewards. [/p][p] [/p][p]- Some quests have seen their rewards slightly adjusted. [/p][p](This is a very minor change, currently only a few quests have had their rewards adjusted due to rewards being too high or too low for the difficulty of the quest.) [/p][p] [/p][p]Bug Fixes [/p][p] [/p][p]- Removed the “Freelancer Skin: Asha Catari” item from the Endless War achievement. [/p][p](The item is presently unusable, if you have this item in your mailbox, please reach out to our customer support with subject “Endless War” to get your mail removed). [/p][p] [/p][p]- The following elements of the Dimensions UI are now functional: [/p][p]1. Cross Shard (Weekly) [/p][p]2. Cross Shard (All Time) [/p][p] [/p][p](Should you experience any issue with these dimension tabs, please let us know as soon as possible on Discord!) [/p][p] [/p][p]- Resolved an issue that prevented crash reports from players from being delivered. [/p][p] [/p][p]Miscellaneous [/p][p] [/p][p]- The health points of the Community Artifact Pinatas have been multiplied by approximately ~40x [/p][p](The Artifact Pinata will have effectively far more health points than players have seen so far, making them more durable and giving players a higher chance to accumulate contribution.) [/p][p] [/p][p]New Items[/p][p] [/p][p]Three new mounts have been introduced with the September 16, 2025 maintenance. [/p][p] [/p][p]- Goblin – Poison Dragon [/p][p]- Tidal Dragon [/p][p]- Dune King Dragon [/p][p] [/p][p]These mounts will become progressively available in the following weeks. [/p][p]We thank you for your continued support! [/p][p] [/p][p]Your RIFT Team.[/p]

Mechs on Parade!

[p][/p][p]Hello Ascended!

Lightning can be heard reverberating throughout Telara, and the Mechs are back, causing the earth to tremble and creating mayhem wherever they set their gaze! Will you help defend Telara from these bulky armored enemies?

That’s exactly what we thought, Ascended. Sharpen your sword and your senses and strike back now! Starting today, take the siege to the Mechs for a chance to earn great rewards!

Head over to Sanctum (/setwaypoint 7380 3077), Meridian (/setwaypoint 6124 5231), or Tempest Bay (/setwaypoint 12944 11579) to accept Daily Quests and join Warfronts. Use the Looking For Group (LFG) tool to participate in Expert Dungeons, collect Mech Components, or join the zone event!

Completing all the daily quests will reward you with a total of 65 Chaos Motes per character every day!

The quest Defender of the Elements will take you to Vostigar Peaks, Silverwood, Freemarch, Shimmersand, and Stillmoor on a mission to defeat fearsome Mechs.

Stay sharp and bring your allies, Ascended; you may need them now more than ever!

Head over to the RIFT Store to get rewards for Credits or use your collected Chaos Motes at the event NPC to redeem amazing mounts, rewards, pets, and much more![/p][p][/p][p]Now is the time to strike, Ascended. Mechs will strike on September 5, 2025, and will retreat on September 8, 2025, 23:59 UTC; be sure to keep them at bay until then before they wreak too much havoc!

See you in-game,
Your RIFT team![/p]
