Headersteam_EN.jpg At last the day has arrived - since the release of Update 1.6 and Ember Isle the big question since last year has been: What's next?! As the first update of 2012 Update 1.7 answers that question with a mighty bounty of new features, content, and improvements. No matter your play style there's something waiting for you in 1.7! We've added a new chronicle, powered-up PvP and endgame items and are introducing Ascended Weddings as our first Gathering. There's no doubt 1.7 is a biggun - lucky for you there's tons of information to sink your teeth in or log in to see it for yourself!

RIFT 1.7 Key Features

Endgame Gear & Expert Dungeons get an upgrade

Tons of level 45+ equipment gets a boost in power to help you better face your foes across Telara. In addition advanced dungeoneers now have more adventures to choose from, as Tier 1 and Tier 2 have merged. Expert Mode dungeons become a single category in LFG, sporting trials and rewards on par with Tier 2.
