Welcome to RIFTS: Infestation!
The parasites reached Oryx’s domain! Stronger than ever, he’s ready to face you in a fierce battle. Are you?
What are RIFTS?
Oryx found a new way to torture you and fellow realmers in your eternal captivity - once in a while he opens RIFTS throughout the REALM for fun and games. RIFTS are seasonal game modes which run in parallel to the Original mode. They are time limited modes of varying lengths that offer you a different playing experience with altered rules to normal mode. Each RIFTS season will provide new self-contained goals and mechanical twists in likewise varying manner. In RIFTS, everyone starts fresh and will be able to join RIFTS servers for the duration of the season to complete objectives and claim exclusive rewards for the Original mode!
What are the prizes?
We will have 2 types of rewards in Infestation: Completing the RIFTS quests will grant you various rewards on Original Mode. If you have purchased the Mad Pass before completing any of the RIFTS quests, you will get more and better rewards! You can check those out here.

Note: If you purchase the Mad Pass after completing specific Mad Pass Quests, you won’t be rewarded with extra prizes for these tiers. Additionally, the quests are chained. That means that you can’t jump between them, you must complete them in order from 1 to 7. For example, to complete “Mad Pass Quest 2” you must first complete “Mad Pass Quest 1” and so on. Every time you complete a Quest you will receive a token that will allow you to progress further.
When and how do I get the rewards?
When the season ends, depending on which quests you have completed, you will receive the equivalent rewards on Original Mode (NOT the Rift one). Don’t panic if after the season ends you don’t see the reward, it may take some days.
How does the leaderboard work?
Being frequently updated, the LeaderBoard will rank the players with the most alive fame. You can check your own position in the second tab which will also show players that have similar amounts of fame as you.
Dead fame with all its modifiers will NOT be added to your final score on the LeaderBoard! If you die, your character remains on the LeaderBoard with the last fame-score he had.
How does the LeaderBoard button on Original Mode work?
The LeaderBoard button (a Golden Trophy icon that is located in the upper right corner of the screen, right below the the Gold) can be used to follow on the rank on players on RIFTS. Once a season has ended, the final ranking will be saved and can be displayed via the drop down menu on the Original Mode. The most recent seasons will be displayed on top of that menu.
How many characters will I be able to create each RIFTS season?
With each season, you will be able to create a set number of characters. That number will be determined by us and conveyed to the community via the RIFTS Rules & Explanation. Be wise with your character choice, because creating and then deleting still subtracts from your total characters allowed. Each season’s character creation limit will be shown in the lobby screen where you pick between Original Mode and RIFTS.
For RIFTS: Infestation, you will be able to create 15 characters.
How does the Pet Yard work?
A hard pet level cap has been set at 70. Along with this, all standard items have no feed power values. Instead, pet food itself drops from various boss monsters to tie pet progress more closely into the gameplay cycle.
Drop tables for both tiered and untiered items have been revised to create a more reasonable progression curve over the course of a short mini-season. Additionally, the Pet Yard can be upgraded for free, feeding is free and Rare pets are available.
Will I be able to trade with other players?
No. Trading has been disabled on RIFTS.
How do the Character and Vault Unlockers work?
RIFTS are entirely independent of the Original mode progress. All RIFTS accounts will begin with 2 character slots and 2 vault chests. You may also see additional slots/chests appear as quest rewards at the Tinkerer in some seasons. Vaults and Character Slots unlocked in a season will carry over to future RIFTS seasons.
What items will be available to purchase on RIFTS?
Eggs, Dyes, Backpack, Loot Boosters, Pet Skins, and other Consumables.
Do I get to keep other items that I purchased on RIFTS?
All progress made in RIFTS, including purchased or gained items, will not carry over between seasons, with the sole exception of unlocked character slots and vault chests.
