RIFTSTREAM: Dimensionerds Unite!

To celebrate Dimension Bonus Weekend coming up, we are taking a tour of some RIFT Dimensions with Kitasia, Dimensioneer Extraordinaire! Artifact Pinatas will be served.

Just like there are a group of elite guilds and elite raiders, RIFT is also home to a number of elite Dimensionerds (or Dimensioneers, take your pick! These are folks who have invested time in learning how to make Telara’s unique housing zones into magnificent works of art.

Kitasia heads up the widely respected RiftDimensionAddicts.com and posts a lot of extremely useful videos to the RDA YouTube channel – well worth a look if building your own dimension seems too daunting – there are a LOT of folks in the community who would love to help you learn!

Brasse and Wren will accompany Kitasia on a tour of public Dimension builds both EU and NA servers, to get an idea of what’s out there. We’ll haul a bunch of artifacts and artifact Pinatas along as well!

RIFTSTREAM, Friday, 11:30 AM PDT

Introducing Telarafly by Ghar Station

We love our Trion Creators, and admire their creativity and drive. Clowd at The Ghar Station has just launched a new feature, “Telarafly,” the RIFT Model & World Viewer!



You just never know what lies just under the surface, or around hidden corners in Telara. RIFT Dev has given their blessing for Clowd to share a very different view of Telara with all of you. Some of this is just plain weird, but certainly fascinating!

Learn more on The Ghar Station!

Thanks, Clowd!

RIFT WEDDING: Special Livestream June 9, 3:30 PM PDT!

Your hosts, Dior and Boase, invite you to a RIFT WEDDING! 3:30 PM PDT, twitch.tv/trionworlds!



All ye ascended, may it be known that on this day the Sparkle Faerie and his dame are uniting in the celestial bonds of matrimony! Boase@Greybriar and Dior@Greybriar are welcoming the Rift community to participate in a spectacular gathering in deference to the Cosmic Rhinoceros. If it weren’t for the chivalrous support from the lovely maiden Katyele@Greybriar and her dimension expertise – we fear that the ceremony would have been a horrific nightmare with unsolvable puzzles, piles of artifacts, and scattered abstract effigies of the rainbow king himself! All of which may have already happened without the bride’s knowing!

This venerated event will take place in the perplexing meadows of Boase’s dimension on Greybriar at 3:30PM (PST). There is absolutely no dress code for any interested guests. You are encouraged to strut your stuff and show off your fabulous fashion sense! For citizens of Greybriar, all you need to do is search for Boase’s dimension titled “LIVING IN COLOR” to join. If you aren’t a resident to this shard – don’t fret! Either make a low level character on Greybriar to join or make sure to contact Boase@Greybriar for an invite to the festivities. Be prepared for much feasting and clanking of mead mugs in celebration for this notorious day!

Through a Game Junkie’s Eyes: The Discovery of RIFT

We want to share this blog by Eiahn of the Gaiscioch Family – it’s great to read about RIFT through the experience of a new player!



“I had never played an MMO before and barely even paid attention to them. To be honest, I was convinced they were not for me and that I would not enjoy playing them.

Oh, how I was wrong… I was so wrong…”

Welcome to Telara, Eiahn – we hope you stay with us for many years to come!

Check out the blog here on the Gaiscioch site!

Cadarsk: Ultimate Tok’s Guide!

Looking for the world’s best Tok’s Puzzle Dungeon Guide? THIS MAY BE IT!

Every week, we’re going to feature one of our community sites that makes magic happen. This week, we tip our hat to CADARSK!

Created by an intrepid duo known as Caduto@Gelidra and Darsk@Gelidra, Cadarsk is a concise, well-organized and clear walkthrough for DeadSimon’s oft-infuriating Tok’s Puzzle Dungeon. You’ll enjoy the friendly tone and attention to detail, along with excellent supporting screenshots and videos.

Best of all, you’ll fling fewer chairs, reduce keyboard breakage by 50% and flip less tables while attempting to tackle the dungeon from here on out! Just be warned, this is a very detailed spoiler site, so purists… just look away. Nothing to see here!



The Cadarsk site also offers guides for Artifact Hunting and Adding Addons. We really hope this pair of Ascended continues to share their knowledge with us, especially useful for certain filthy casual Dwarves like me.

I /bow, /salute and /cheer for you, Darsk and Caduto!
