Points of Interest

A few key points of interest:

Atragarian Well in Goboro Reef has Savant Crafters.

Ghar Stations in Goboro Reef, Draumheim and Tarken Glacier have Nightmare Rift vendors and dailies.

You can also obtain Nightmare Rift lures in the RIFT Store -> Rifts -> Nightmare section.

Draumheim’s Margle Palace also has Savant Crafters as well as all notoriety vendors, dailies, new Raid Rift Lures/etc. It will also become the new 3.0 city hub.

Have fun all and be sure to report any bugs you see using the in-game feedback!

Mentoring Up

You can mentor up by right-clicking your Character Portrait (if you are not Lvl 65) and choose ‘Enable’ for ‘Sidekicking’. This will mean that you will mentor up to the highest level (or mentored level) player in your group.

So for example you might be in a group of 4 Level 60s. If the 5th player is Level 63 and you have Sidekicking enabled, you will mentor up to Level 63.

This should allow you to go to higher-level dungeons. However, only when manually entering – you won’t be able to mentor up for randoms.

This should allow you to make normal NT dungeons easier or to survive higher-level zones if you are a lower level. It should also allow you to – say – experience the Level 62 Glacial Maw dungeon as a Level 60 (as long as you are mentored up to Level 62 or above).
