The Rifts get an update...
Ages ago, we made a poll asking you all if you'd like the idea of new players getting a free rift cluster to kickstart their journey on Realms Away. Overwhelmingly, you agreed that this would be a great idea. At the same time, with how popular new rift drops are, I felt it wouldn't be quite right to simply gift every new player a free rift cluster - since so far, everyone had to work for them by turning in a design of their own. The solution? Rift Particles!
Rift Particles are a new currency that exists alongside Rift Clusters . They work in the following way:
- Each player may claim one free rift particle per year from the Reflection's Crossroad
- Designs that have been floating in the rifts for 1 month+ will be changed to be purchasable via rift particle instead of rift cluster
- If a design gets redrawn/redesigned, this resets the timer and puts it back to rift cluster for one month
This way, we hope that new players still get an easier start with a premade design if they wish, while also keeping the value of rift clusters up since they get to claim designs for one month first. The Rifts guide has also been updated to reflect this addition~ We do have some designs up for particles too! (at the time of posting),
