They cannot be put into a number of rift points, some rift materials as listed below, and lumps of [[glimmersteel]], [[food storage binseryll]] , and create healing covers of useless potency[[adamantine]]. ** Rift points are redeemable at the [[Rift points shop]] or Lormere Ltd by right-clicking on a mailbox.''
