Rumble through the lands in your clanking metal machine... why not start a parade? Send us your screenshots @RIFTgame - how many can you get to join you?

A pack with two meeeeeeelion Loyalty points... yeah, we thought that'd catch your eye!

This is one of the best packs we have ever offered in RIFT. The hulking, menacing Maelforge Broodling Mount alone is worth it, but we also include a huge 40-slot bag (we know you need it!) and the Forgemaster's Inferno Costume helm.

All for just $29.99!

Did we mention the 2,000,000* Loyalty points? Swoop in and level up your Loyalty Tier before this limited time sale ends!

Note: The Estrodian Wings - those creepy leathery flappers with demonic eyebooglers - are not included in this pack... but we know where you can get them: the RIFT In-game store, for 3,150 credits! This includes both the cosmetic and mount version of the wings!

We want to thank Trion Creator Celyne for the gorgeous image included above. She was as inspired by the Maelforge Power Pack as we hope you will be! Follow @ArtByCelyne on Twitter and be constantly amazed by the glorious game-inspired work she creates!

 

Here is the Maelforge Broodling mount and Inferno Helm in game:

The Storm Legion update for RIFT Prime raises the game’s level cap to 60 while boosting the crafting skill cap to the Grandmaster level. The update also adds two more continents for Prime subscribers to explore: Brevane and Dusken. The island stronghold Tempest Bay has been added as a new city hub, while a host of new dungeons and raids have also been added for players looking to hit the increased level cap.

High-level RIFT Prime players will also be tasked with taking on Volan, the mighty Empyrean colossus! Set loose from his prison and festooned in adamantine armor, Volan makes his debut on the RIFT Prime server to take on all challengers. Test your mettle against Volan’s metal in a battle for the ages!


The Storm Legion update is scheduled to hit RIFT Prime this fall.
