The rifts work off of A rift is a points system. Depending on test laid down upon the amount people of kills the player participated in they can get lands by the gods. It consists of a higher participation ranking. The rankings are from minimal to phenomenal. Before the rift is closed you may type /rift to get the participation ranking list; howeverbright, glowing-red portal, waves of quite deadly creatures brought forth through that portal, you have and a battle system with which to be standing inside shut down the rift area. After the rift is closed the command can be issued anywhere to view terror and satisfy this wicked test of strength and solidarity by the ranking listgods.

When a rift is closed {{event|inline|The Rift that has plagued <server name> has been shut!}} will be broadcast server-wide as an event message to all. If the 20 hearts are sacrificed before all the rift mobs are dead, the mobs will de-spawn and leave a pile of ash in their spot. At the closing of the rift every player who participated in at least 10 kills will get a lump == Process of random material, qualityEvents, and weight. Some examples are:*20ql .40kg rare Adamantine lump*70ql .40kg rare steel lump*77ql .25kg seryll lumpHow It Works ==

* At the same moment the light beacon appears an [[Filehttps:SKuJOaH//forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/198721-patch-notes-12-sep-2023/ unfinished colossus] for each god will be placed north south east and west of the beacon. Parts can be added to these and each part has a chance reward you with rift points and rift materials. Adding parts to any colossus will give you rift sickness.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Active Rift]]sickness increases difficulty of working on the colossus, but decreases over time. Within the final 12 hours before a rift opens rift sickness is no longer added. Players can work on colossus of gods they do not follow at an increased difficulty. Completing a colossus will create an additional beam of light and an effect will be applied during battle when the rift opens. The three white light gods give a white beam, where Libila will produce a black beam. The effects are as follows:

A light beacon will appear on a server (one beam per server at one time) 2 days before the rift will open on PvE {| class="wikitable"|-! God !! Effect|-| Vynora || [[Excel]]|-| Magranon || [[Mass stamina]] and 3 hours before on PvP. The location [[Frantic charge]]|-| Fo || Healing and [[Willowspine]]|-| Libila || Rift enemy spawn count is random each time. The actual size of light appears to be a radius of 20 tiles in all directions from the beacon, or a 41x41 tile perimeterincreased and upon death players do not lose skills other than strength and fight skill. |}

When * The rift participation area is a 41x41 square centered around the rift opens, it will clear all the trees within its borders and turn all terrain into dirt-light. Also, when One can check to see whether one is in the rift opens it will spawn rift stones, rift crystals, and rift trees, which can be harvested once participation area or not by using the /rift has closedcommand. You cannot terraform inside If the rift area until it has been closed. Alsonot yet started, rift mobs will attack all the creatures in the rift area at the time number of hours until 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 opens will still be attackeddisplayed.''

When * Next, when the rift portal actually opens many different kinds of mobs (48 hours after the beacon first appears), it will clear all the trees within its borders and turn all terrain into dirt. It will also spawn. These mobs come in waves a number of increasing difficulty and they include Rift Beaststraps, rift stones, rift crystals, Rift Casters and Rift Summonersrift plants in the rift zone. Terraforming attempts in this area will be blocked until the rift is closed. Additionally, Rift Jackals the rift will spawn a rift altar and Rift Ogresa wave of deadly [[rift creature|rift creatures]] that will only fight players within the zone. * After the first wave of rift creatures is defeated, Ogre Magestwo more increasingly difficult waves must subsequently be defeated in order to close the rift. In order to progress to the next wave, 20 rift hearts must be butchered and removed from any rift creatures and lastly then burned at the Warmasterrift altar in sacrifice. In An examine of the altar will always show the remaining number of hearts needed in order to advance 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. * The third and final wave of rift creatures you will include a [[Warmaster]] and provides the most difficult wave of fighting. Once this wave is disbursed, players must sacrifice 20 rift mob more hearts that are obtained by butchering to the mobs rift altar, at which point an event message will convey across the '''server: {{event|inline|The Rift Altarthat has plagued <server name> has been shut!}}. The rift is now closed, the gods have been satisfied, and rank-based rewards are then automatically spawned to the participating players''', an altar inventories. It is also at this point that the rift area's rift materials (see section below) will spawn become harvestable. == Ranking, Rewards == *Rifts work off of a points system. Depending on its ownthe 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 rank, the more rewards attributed to that player. ''Note: These hearts * Rank rewards are not like normal hearts. 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.'' When * Anytime while a mob rift is killed every still open and active, the player has a 5% chance may type the chat command '''/rift''' in order to see the current participation rankings. Attempts to get a loot item bring up the list outside of the actual rift area while it is still active will not work. After the rift is closed, however, the command can be issued from anywhere on that can include but are not limited server in order to view the final ranking list.  * Players with more than 60 participation (phenomenal) rank will tend to shoulder pads receive less random lump quality levels and weights. Instead, they will generally receive lump quantities, qualities, and jewelry weights based on that rank with special abilitiesmuch less swing toward randomness.  * Rare items being rewarded generally tends to occur mainly for participants placing 3rd or better at final rank. Please visit  * Any player who participated in at least 10 kills will get a lump of uncommon metal ([[http://forumSeryll]], [[Glimmersteel]] or [[Adamantine]]) of random rarity, quality, and weight, at the rift's close.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/141729-wsa-guide-to-rift-gear/ this guide]  * Players must be online and on the rift loot server when the Rift closes to receive rewards as well as credit for any questionsparticipation (per "Destination Unknown" [[Journal]] requirements).

When combined with In addition to spawning to player inventory based on rank at the end of a metalrift, rift materials can also be manually collected from the immediate rift area once that rift has been closed. The three rift resource types are rift stones, they rift crystals, and rift plants: * [[Mining|Mine]] a [[rift stone]] to gather [[rift stone shard]]s. * [[Prospecting|Prospect]] a [[rift crystal (node)]] to gather [[rift crystal]]s.* [[Woodcutting|Cut]] down a [[rift plant]] to gather [[rift wood]].  Rift materials can be forged into difficult to 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 moon [[Jackal]]. * [[Rift beast]]* [[Rift caster]]* [[Rift jackal]]* [[Rift summoner]]* [[Rift ogre]]* [[Rift ogre mage]]* [[Warmaster]] == Rift Scout Camps ==Besides the regular recurring rifts, which will provide bonuses to equipmentsmall scout camps can randomly spawn. A rift scout camp is a minimal version of a rift. A few rift creatures spawn in a random place on the server, vehicles and containersafter all rift creatures are killed, participants receive a small amount of rift points. Also closing a rift scout camp allows for harvesting Rift Materials like mentioned above. Bonuses A rift scout camp does not show a red beacon, and you don't have to sacrifice hearts to close a rift scout camp. == Additional Notes ==  * The no-drop zone for tents extends out 30 tiles from these items will depend on the metal used when forgingrift beacon. * When a rift beacon appears, as well as other factorsa player may walk through it for the "Rift Investigator" [[achievement]]. When the rift is closed, the player will then receive the "Rift Defender" and provide "Rifter" [[titles]].  * Rift hearts are of no other use in Wurm aside from burning at the rift altar. * Rift creatures can only attack players within the rift area. Evacuate the area when in danger! * Players must be premium to receive rift rewards at the close of the rift. * Rift monsters have a range of bonuseschance to attack mounted animals.
