Hi all,

The North American and European region shards will be coming down on Thursday, 11/5/15 at 7:30 AM PST / 3:30 PM GMT for Rift 3.4 Hotfix #7.

The estimated downtime duration is ** 1 hour and 15 minutes. **

See you then!

With the launch of The Mind of Madness, we are making some adjustments to raid currency and items on the store.

Fragments of Horror:
• No longer drops from Tier 1 Raid Bosses nor can it be acquired from other sources such as quests or lockboxes.
• Has been replaced on Tier 1 Raid Bosses with Abyssal Crusader Marks.
• Will be converted automatically over to Abyssal Crusader Marks at a 2:1 ratio.
• For every 2 Fragments of Horror you possess currently, you will be awarded 1 Abyssal Crusader Mark.
• This is automatic and will happen when servers are updated on Nov. 5th.

Note: The cap for Abyssal Crusader Marks gained per week remains unchanged.

Fragments of Madness:
• Effects that award bonus currency but prohibited awarding bonus Fragments of Madness now do so.
o The Patron passive 40% token bonus, for example, now affects Fragments of Madness as do Token Tablet consumables.

Note: The cap for Fragments of Madness gained per week remains unchanged.

Fragments of Darkness:
• New Tier 3 Raid currency
• Can be acquired through slaying bosses in The Mind of Madness or completing daily & weekly quests.
• Is not affected by effects that award bonus currency.
o In other words, everything that used to not award Fragments of Madness but now does will not award Fragments of Darkness as bonuses.


Since Fragments of Horror will be converted to Abyssal Crusader Marks, Tier 1 items on the store have had their prices changed to reflect this. Additionally, the credit price of Tier 1 gear has been reduced by 40%.

Overall our goal in these changes is to make Tier 1 raid more accessible to the wider RIFT community. If you have the Fragment of Horror today, you should probably buy any items you want. If you want to buy with credits, you should wait till tomorrow. If you have a Primalist or new character that you are gearing up, it will be MUCH faster to do that it was previously and it does not require killing raid bosses to do so, however, they are one of the best sources of Abyssal Crusader Marks.
