Shadowpriest (WIS), Shadowcaller (INT), Shade Stalker (DEX), and Death Knight (STR) versions are available.


New Vanity and Mounts
The Fae whisper about the evil alchemist that lurks in the dark hunting those boglings that have misbehaved this year. Remind them about their folk tales with the Nebulous Omen Cape or the Infinity Flask vanity items.

Always loved the starry nights in Telara? The new Astral Wings and the Astral Voyager levitation mount are here to immortalize its beauty! But if you prefer to see the stars by yourself, get on top of the Mighty Woolly Explorer, our new mount, and travel to the highest mountains to enjoy the view. Remember to stay warm though, or you will end up looking like our new Icy Levitation, a special levitation that makes you frosty!


New Minions
Welcome Mr.Quackers and Leah the Cool to the roster of minions! These two old pals are still looking for their long lost friend Frosty Paws.
Collect both minions to unlock the exclusive title "Winter Spirit" and level them both to level 15 to unlock the minion "Frosty Paws"!


New Pets
The forecast from the Icewatch was correct. This winter is going to be one of the coldest in Telara, and the patrols are starting to find out all kinds of frozen creatures.
Consider adopting one to warm it up? The new frozen pet set is available! Collect Flurry, Snowfall, Drift, Avalanche, Slush, Tundra, Powder, Glacier, Sleet or Rime!

All point totals for all users, even those not in the top 50, will still be saved.

Rankings
Names in the rankings will be displayed with asterisks blocking all except the first and last letter of the ranked party’s name (for example O****N instead of ORION). There will be a voucher item available to anyone who wants/agrees to have their full name displayed in the ranking on the anniversary. By using the voucher item, you will be agreeing to have your full character name available to everyone who views the page: SHOWYOURNAME20RIFT
The name that will be displayed in the ranking, will be the name of the first character you login on you account, after redeeming the SHOWYOURNAME20RIFT voucher.
