Changes

Rifts are A rift is a very new mechanic only recently implemented into test laid down upon the people of the lands by the gamegods. The premise behind them is to be It consists of a bright, glowing-red portal, waves of quite deadly creatures brought forth through that portal, and a full scale invasion battle system with which to shut down the plagues terror and satisfy this wicked test of strength and solidarity by the Wurm Online serversgods.

The rifts work off of * First, a points system. Depending light beacon will appear on a server (one beam per server at one time), 2 real-life days before the amount of kills the player participated in they can get a higher participation rankingrift will open on PvE and 3 real-life hours before opening on PvP. The rankings are from minimal to phenomenal. Before the rift location is closed you may type /rift to get the participation ranking list, however, you have to be standing inside the rift random each time but always in a non-deeded area. After the rift This is closed where the command can be issued anywhere to view gods will open the ranking listrift portal.

When * The rift participation area is a 41x41 square centered around the rift -light. One can check to see whether one is closed {{event|inline|The Rift that has plagued <server name> has been shut!}} will be broadcast server wide as an event message to allin the participation area or not by using the /rift command. If the 20 hearts are sacrificed before all the rift mobs are dead than the mobs will de-spawn and leave a pile of ash in their spot. At has not yet started, the closing number of hours until the rift every player who participated in at least 10 kills opens will get a lump of random material, quality, and weight. Some examples are:*20ql .40kg rare Adamantine lump*70ql .40kg rare steel lump*77ql be displayed.25kg seryll lump

Rifts are very simple* After the first wave of rift creatures is defeated, three more increasingly difficult waves must subsequently be defeated in order to close the rift. In order to progress to the next wave, they just have a lot 20 rift hearts must be butchered and removed from any rift creatures and then burned at the rift altar in sacrifice. An examine of the altar will always show the remaining number of moving partshearts needed in order to bring about the next wave of rift creatures, and the altar is always located within several tiles of the rift beam itself. Progression through the rift in this way can take place at any time, despite any living rift creatures or the current wave taking place.

First * The fourth and final wave of rift creatures will include a [[Warmaster]] and provides the most difficult wave of fighting. Once this wave is disbursed, players must sacrifice 20 more hearts to the lightrift altar, or beacon as some may call it. The light at which point an event message will appear on a convey across the server (one beam per : {{event|inline|The Rift that has plagued <server at one time) 2 days before the rift will open on PvE and 3 hours on PvPname> has been shut!}}. The location rift is random every time now closed, the gods have been satisfied, and rank-based rewards are then automatically spawned to the intervals participating players' inventories. It is also at which they spawn are still unknown. The actual size of right appears to be a radius of 20 tiles in all directions from this point that the beacon, or a 41x41 tile perimeterrift area's rift materials (see section below) will become harvestable.

Second is the actual rift opening. As mentioned before the rift will open 2 days after the beacon appears on PvE and 3 hours on PvP. When the rift opens it will clear all the trees within its borders and turn all terrain into dirt. Also== Ranking, when the rift opens it will spawn a number of decoration type things from rift stones to rift crystals and even trees. These decorations cannot be interacted with, only bashed, and they cannot be moved. You also cannot terraform inside the rift area until it has been closed. Also, rift mobs will attack all the creatures in the rift area at the time of the rift opening weather said creatures of passive or aggressive. The only time the rift mobs will not attack creatures is if they are being ridden. ''Note: This does not apply to hitched animals which will still be attacked.''Rewards ==

Now *Rifts work off of a points system. Depending on the mobs that amount of kills and damage dealt by a player, they can get a higher participation ranking. The rankings range from "minimal" (least impact) to "phenomenal" (most impact). The better the rift will spawn. When rank, the rift opens many different kinds of mobs will spawnmore rewards attributed to that player. These mobs come in waves * Rank rewards are a number of increasing difficulty and they include Rift Beastsrift points, Rift Casters and Rift Summonerssome rift materials as listed below, Rift Jackals and Rift Ogreslumps of [[glimmersteel]], Ogre Mages[[seryll]], and lastly [[adamantine]]. ** Rift points are redeemable at the Warmaster[[Rift points shop]] or Lormere Ltd by right-clicking on a mailbox. In order to advance to the next wave of creatures you must sacrifice 20 * Anytime while a rift mob hearts that are obtained by butchering is still open and active, the mobs at player may type the chat command '''Rift Altar/rift''', an altar that in order to see the current participation rankings. Attempts to bring up the list outside of the actual rift area while it is still active will spawn on its own and it does not look like a normal altarwork. ''Note: These hearts are not like normal hearts. They cannot After the rift is closed, however, the command can be put into a [[food storage bin]] and create healing covers of useless potency.'' When a mob is killed every player has a 5% chance to get a loot item issued from anywhere on that can include but are not limited server in order to shoulder pads and jewelry with special abilities.

* Players with more than 60 participation (phenomenal) rank will tend to receive less random lump quality levels and weights. Instead, they will generally receive lump quantities, qualities, and weights based on that rank with much less swing toward randomness.  * Rare items being rewarded generally tends to occur mainly for participants placing 3rd or better at final rank. * Any player who participated in at least 10 kills will get a lump of uncommon metal ([[Seryll]], [[Glimmersteel]] or [[Adamantine]]) of random rarity, quality, and weight, at the rift's close. * Players must be online and on the server when the Rift closes to receive rewards. == Notes Rift Materials ==* When In addition to spawning to player inventory based on rank at the end of a rift opens it , rift materials can spawn different types of traps inside also be manually collected from the immediate rift areaonce that rift has been closed. These traps can and will exist after the The three rift is already closed so be cautioned if you resource types are walking through an old rift area. stones, rift crystals, and rift plants:* Resources can be collected from rifts.::*[[Mining|Mine ]] a [[rift stone]] to collect gather [[rift stone shards from Rift stonesshard]]s. ::* [[Prospecting|Prospect the crystals ]] a [[rift crystal (node)]] to collect fragmentsgather [[rift crystal]]s.::* Use your [[Woodcutting|Cut]] down a [[rift plant]] to gather [[rift wood cutting knowledge ]].  Rift materials can be difficult to cut down harvest without adequate skill, with much of the rift plant, stone, or crystal being wasted on any failed attempts to harvest.  Rift materials are primarily utilized for the creation of [[rune|runes]].==Rift creatures==Certain creatures only appear at rifts or on the trees and collect woodmoon [[Jackal]]. :* However[[Rift beast]]* [[Rift caster]]* [[Rift jackal]]* [[Rift summoner]]* [[Rift ogre]]* [[Rift ogre mage]]* [[Warmaster]] == Rift Scout Camps ==Besides the regular recurring rifts, small scout camps can randomly spawn. A rift scout camp is a minimal version of a rift resources . A few rift creatures spawn in a random place on the server, and after all rift creatures are currently killed, participants receive a small amount of rift points. Also closing a rift scout camp allows for collection harvesting Rift Materials like mentioned above.A rift scout camp does not show a red beacon, and do not yet you don't have to sacrifice hearts to close a userift scout camp. == Additional Notes ==  * The no-drop zone for tents extends out 30 tiles from the rift beacon. :* Collection of these resources When a rift beacon appears, a player may walk through it for the "Rift Investigator" [[achievement]].
