With nearly 200 total entries, there were a lot for the devs to choose from to pick the winners of the Telara Fashion Week 2017 Contest!

From Thursday, August 31, 2017 until Thursday, September 14, 2017, players were asked to submit their most stylish wardrobe ensembles for a chance to win fabulous prizes. The top 10 were chosen by the dev team and the final top three winners were chosen live on our weekly RIFTstream. Here’s who won!




Narsiro’s dark ruby and goldenrod take on a dark angel was a surefire fan favorite. He used the General Silgen’s Crown for his head piece, Vigil’s Radiance for his back piece, and the rest was put together from the Ceremonial Hero’s Wardrobe. His costume set will be bundled together and sold in the RIFT store at a later date.




Naryss’ outfit combined lovely blacks, purples, and teals. With a low-cut bodice and a tantalizingly high headpiece, the look was dramatic but well-rounded. She was chosen as a close second to Narsiro.




Dubbed as “Jacqueline the Ripper” from her creator, Fibes@Faeblight, this winning ensemble featured a more Victorian vibe including a woolen blazer, fashionable leggings, a dark top hat, and most notably, a plague doctor’s mask. Something else we loved about this piece was that it was androgynous to look sharp on both males and females.

This week Seshatar is hosting the RIFTstream for an epic Telaran Cosplay Battle!

Long time RIFT player and official Trion Worlds Creator Seshatar will host this week’s RIFTstream. Remember him from our community interview with Seshatar blog? Following up the amazing wardrobe contest from last week, players can prove their sense of fashion again this week! The premise this time? What if Telarans could play characters from other worlds and fictions? This week they can, in their own in-game cosplay battle! Players will transform their characters into someone (or something) completely different in just a few seconds! 16 players will be randomly drawn on Twitch and will battle in 1 on 1 matches versus each other (8 - 4 - 2 battles) and the viewers decide the winners! The battle will happen in a dimension (will be announced on stream) on the NA shards (as the 1v1 PvP tournament was on EU last time). If you wish to participate, make sure you have a NA character and plenty of wardrobe appearances unlocked! Watch us live on Twitch for a chance to win in-game prizes.

Check out two awesome contests recently run by community members and learn who won them.

The community makes a world of difference in RIFT. This is no different with the following two power house community members. Recently, they both ran contests for the community at large. Seshatar ran a contest for 4.2: Celestial Storm, which was a screenshot contest for Vostigar Peaks. DTC (Dimension Touring Company) ran a wonderful dimension contest with the theme of “cozy cottages”. Trion provided some of the prizes for both contests because we love to support the RIFT community.




The Celestial Storm contest was created by Trion Worlds Creator and RIFT aficionado Seshatar. It ran from July 19 – August, 13, 2017. During that time, players were encouraged to submit a virtual postcard, a summer fashion ensemble, or a short, 30-60 second video clip showcasing the newest overland zone, Vostigar Peaks.


There were a lot of great submissions but favorites had to be chosen. In fact, the winners were voted on by the community! Each category had a first, second, and third place winner. Prizes were a Spectral Chariot Mount and 30 days Patron time for first place, whereas second and third place were both awarded with 30 days Patron time.

1) Greetings from Vostigar! Postcard Winners

• Celemente@Faeblight
• Boase@Greybriar
• Nalyviacarrion@Faeblight

2) Summer Fashion Winners

• Thezene@Typhiria
• Amielle@Deepwood
• Flashwit@Deepwood

3) My Celestial Moment Video Clip Winners

• Andisia@Gelidra
• Nalyviacarrion@Faeblight
• (No third place winner)

The Cozy Cottages contest was put together by DTC, which is managed by Feendish and Dimensiondiva. It ran from June 15 – September 1, 2017. The goal was to build a cozy cottage in a dimension. With 19 pages’ worth of entries and commentary, this was an extremely popular forum challenge. The judges for this contest were Feendish, Alliandre@Brutwacht, and Jaedor@Greybriar.

There were several winners:

• 1^st Place: Adventurer’s Grapefruit Getaway by Mordhreim@Gelidra (7 REX + Primal Khadlig mount)
• 2^nd Place: C-RP Wynjas Homestead by Wynja@Zaviel (5 REX + Primal Khadlig mount)
• 3^rd Place: 2117 by Kozzzmo@Deepwood (3 REX + Primal Khadlig mount)
• The Very Cool Award: Boondocks by Tinderal@Zaviel (2 REX + Primal Khadlig mount)

• Feendish’s Judge’s Choice Award: Home is Where the Road Is by Reynor@Faeblight (1 REX)

• The I Stumped Feendish Award: The Hole by ARWHEN by Kiraah@Brisesol & Vampire’s Lair by Shortyface@Gelidra (3 Alittu Grab Bags)

In short, we love these kinds of contests and are happy to support the awesome community members who run them! If you’d like to run a contest for the community and want some prizes, we’ll consider it. Just drop us a note on Twitter or the forums. As always, thank you for being an amazing community!
