These act sort of like gems in Diablo 2 and will allow you to assign the stats you want to your gear. This is essentially a way for players to take control of the kind of items they want. Planar Fragments is another big new addition. Finding that kind of synergy in the trees is what will make picking your legendary abilities a work of art. Yes, that means they become whirling dealers of death. A Blade Dancer, as its 61 point Legenday can allow players to turn on two Rhytmic Actions at once. This means you can simply slot Druid into your build, spend one legendary point, and every single other ability from your other souls get the buff from the new legendary Fervent Strike. Some examples?Ī 0-Point Druid can turn Fervent Strike into a Legendary, allowing it to not only sap the enemy’s strength but also increase damage across all non-Druid abilities. Now, it’s not every skill on every soul – Simon said it’s more about the iconic abilities for each one from 0 points spent to 61 points spent in a tree.
From level 65 to 70, one point for each level will be awarded to the player to spend on their existing abilities to turn them into legendary versions of them. One of the big new systems coming with the Starfall Prophecy is Legendary Abilities. There are portals back to Telaran soil, though, to do what can only be done on terrestrial land. And while there’s a central hub called Alittu, it’s not a fully-featured city with auction houses and the like. New puzzles, dailies, onslaughts, rifts, zone events – all of it will be included. Throughout each zone, you can quest and follow the story as you’re accustomed to in MMOs like Rift, or you can simply use IA to level through the content as well. My personal favorite from the description is the goblin infested Gedlo Badlands. Two of the zones will be based on the Plane of Life, and two will be based on the Plane of Fire.

The comet is comprised of five new zones, though one (Tenebrian Schism) will be only partially open at launch as it’s the subject of the expansion’s free content updates (along with the aforementioned raid). I joked that this was likely MMORPGs’ largest flying mount, and Simon said they should probably market it as such (PR Lead Garth was not as amused…). Starfall Prophecy takes place on a literal massive comet, zooming through the skies above Telara. And that’s how the idea for this expansion began. We spoke with Scott Hartsman and Simon Ffinch about the Starfall Prophecy, and the first thing Simon said was that when the team on Rift is asked for something small – they always get something much bigger.
