All data on this page was gathered during the three BETA weekends held in advance of the release of Storm Legion and should be considered provisional. Any or all of it could change before launch. Now that the NDA has lifted, any information here that also belongs on another specific page will be copied there.

New Souls

Each Calling gets a new soul, all four of which are heavy on the Magitech (Empyrean Technology).

Factions

Tempest Rising

This is the introductory World Event for the launch of Storm Legion (slated for Oct. 16, 2012 to Feb. 26, 2013).

Phase 1: Gust Front

Phase 2: Cold Wave

Phase 3: Tempest Rising

Phase 4: Breaking Storm

Planar Consumables

A new tier of level 50 Consumables is introduced.

Crafting

To raise your skill cap to 375 you must train with a Grandmaster of your craft (for 1 0 0 ). Grandmasters, Crafting Stations and Recipe Merchants can be found at:

Dusken:

Brevane:

New recipe merchants can be found there as well, selling high-end recipes for a combination of Artisan's Marks, Master Craftsman's Marks and the all-new Grandmaster Craftsman's Marks. Some of the basic new recipes will be available from both your Grandmaster and your recipe vendor so make sure to get them from your Grandmaster for plain coin (unless you really want to spend Marks to get them?)

Mining

Without a doubt, the best way to get Mining up is killing and mining Constructs. Generally mine-able mobs are easier to find than mineral nodes. Kingdom of Pelladane is lousy with Constructs so that is a good place to level up.

Foraging

Without a doubt, the best way to get Foraging up is killing and mining Fae. Generally harvest-able mobs are easier to find than plants and wood nodes. Cape Jule is lousy with Boglings so that is a good place to level up.

I believe it is a bug... fishing in Seratos requires only a skill of 20 but yields the same fish.

Survival

Salvaging

Runebreaking

There are no new blue and purple items (sparkling and shimmering). The five new items, listed above, are not a part of the previous pattern and have no lesser or greater items they combine to make. Grandmaster Runecrafters sell one new item, Empyrean Essence, for 1 0 0 , which is also required for Transmutation. All new recipes sold by the recipes vendor have a minimum required skill of 375. This includes Gleaming, Empyrean and Auroral runes and runeshards.

Augments

With Storm Legion, Trion is removing the original Augments but not the concept. Now, instead of needing Guild Bank space to hold all the piles of Augments, each crafter will be able to make six Augments, and can always trade for others, then use that in the crafting to produce the final improved product. Some Augment recipes are training from your Master, some are on the Recipe vendors (for Marks). They are not too expensive but you do have to buy them.

When 1.11 goes live, all existing Augments will be changed into an appropriate new Augment so you will not lose the vault full of Augments you are holding.

See the Storm Legion-corrected version of the Augmentation Guide.

Quests

There is a new type of quest found throughout Brevane and Dusken, plus a change to a quest type you already know. Both may be repeated daily.

Onslaught - Basically the same as in Ember Isle, except the NPC to start them is almost never right by the Sourcewell. When he is, he will be a holovid named Euclid Klara. Also, when a Zone Event is happening the Sourcewell will be spiked by a huge crozier-looking thing. This prevents you from repairing the arch and no invasions will appear to attack even if you repair all of the defensive machines.

Carnage - Frequently, killing a mob will launch an automatic quest to kill more of the same creature. These reward coin and Empyreal Sourcestone. The icon you see to the left, when seen on the upper-left of a creature's name, indicates they will start a Carnage quest if killed.

Here are a few examples:

Personal Dimensions

Rift's version of Player Housing. Now that the secret to inter-dimensional travel has been unlocked it is possible to acquire "title" to a personal pocket-dimension. Dimensional Goods vendors will sell you rocks, trees and other landscaping items to mold your dimension into something closer to the reality you know, or want to know. An NPC in your home city will lead you to another nearby who will give you a free personal dimension.

Although a personal dimension appears to include the entire zone it copies, you cannot leave the boundaries of the pocket. If you approach a border the air will start to waver and become solid and opaque.

  • Meridian - Speak to Perzin Hejme in a merchant stall on the main plaza, not far from the calling trainers
  • Sanctum - Speak to Tryyna Hejme in the gazebo above the crafting area, south of the main staircase into the central building

  1. Your First Small Dimension
  2. Removing Dimension Items

When you have a key to a dimension, click on it from the Dimensions tab in the Character screen to go to your dimension.

You can own multiple dimensions, but can only have one active dimension at a time. Replacing one dimension with another will pack all placed items and put them in a moving crate.

Here are a few Keys we have seen, where to get them, and what they unlock
