RIFT just dropped a maintenance update on August 5, 2025, and while it's not an expansion-level patch, it adds polish, a shiny new cosmetic cape, and some quality-of-life helpers that make clicking the big question mark feel less pointless.
Abilities Now Work in Celestial Lands (Finally!)
Players exploring Celestial Lands can now use Guardian Flare and Defiant Flare—but only if you’ve got Planar Charges and a valid target. It’s level-up progress for those who were mashing buttons in vain up there.
Help Buttons Actually Help Now
Gone is the glory of question mark menus leading to error pages. Now clicking:
-
Search Issues opens the proper FAQ
-
Contact Game Master takes you to ticket creation
-
View Petitions links to the feedback forum
Yes, you can finally ask for help… and sometimes get it.
Shop UI & Mount Fixes That Make Sense
-
The Hellbugs Call-to-Action shop now displays correctly during active events
-
Riftbound Ursin mount issues fixed—no more garbled purple bears or extra texture loading on low settings
You can now mount up with confidence—and without color glitches.
Minor Fixes That Fix Big Frustrations
-
Using /who alone in any zone no longer breaks
-
Delivering artifacts now shows the correct “+” symbol when adding to sets
-
Tiny UI bugs and edgy visual artifacts have been smoothed
If it did one thing, patch day makes quests and chat commands behave.
New Cosmetic Reward: “Prismatic Cloak”
A brand-new cape called the Prismatic Cloak has been added, granting the Smoldering Halo cosmetic spell. It's accessible under Abilities → General → Cosmetic once unlocked. Fire-themed glow without the fire risk.
Final Thoughts: Small Patch, Smoother Experience
The August 5 update may not add storylines or rifts, but it quietly improves gameplay. Fixes to key abilities, bug-free interfaces, and a festive new cloak all show RIFT is still getting TLC. For players who value polish and usability, this patch is a calm but welcome breeze in Telara’s ongoing season.
