Nope, you should be able to access all of the cowpants and bags you need from the first two tabs.

Unless it's changed, you have to be promoted once to be able to access guild bank withdrawal functionality so just ask in guild chat until someone promotes you, if you can't withdraw from the first two tabs.

Yup. You should get promoted right after getting invited, but bitching in guild chat until you get kicked promoted will work if it's missed.

Thanks for the help guys.

So I think I know what the answer will be, but are the lvl 50 Experts and Raids not worth doing for a fresh 50 with Storm Legion? My brain is telling me that I'm missing out on Ember Isles and fun content, but the powergamer is telling me to do GHRs until 60.

Just missed it by a few hours, so I'd be pretty stoked if you still have this to hand out. No PMs, but my email is Dermit@gmail.com if you wanted to hit me on there. It would be very much appreciated--been bumming that I wouldn't get to try out the new SL stuff.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Once it goes f2p, the only thing the storm legion expansion is going to give you is the expansion souls. So if you missed out on the Raptr thing (I think it's safe to assume they won't be restocking the keys), just wait until f2p and buy the souls individually if you find out you need them. I think Warrior and Cleric can probably do all the content without them, mage and rogue get a lot of use out of theirs though.

Hands raw with high fives.
Amazon has boxed versions of Storm Legion for $20, which is a pretty good deal if you're coming from a free account. You'll get the character/bag slots and souls once it goes f2p along with a free month of gametime in the meantime. It sucks that so many folks missed out on the raptr deal, but you might as well grab a box while they are still available.

Now, if the 4 expansion souls, 4 character slots, and 2 bag slots end up being less than $20 I guess this is a bad call but that seems unlikely to me.

This is an off the wall question. Is there a way to give characters a circular shadow under them? I don't have environmental shadows turned on because my computer is not that great and I've gotten used to other games giving characters at least a little darkness under them to give them some grounding but I noticed RIFT doesn't have that. Am I missing a setting I can turn on?

Experts and raids aren't worth doing and you probably couldn't find groups for them anyway. I enjoyed Ember Isle when I did it (pre-expansion) but the gear and xp you get there won't be as good as the new zones. Personally I don't see the need to poopsock to 60, its not like the endgame content will vanish if you don't see it asap. If you decide to explore EI getting someone to craft you some expansion gear will give a solid boost to your power.

Does this game have a class that lets you run around really fast? Kinda like the Skald from DAOC and the Bard from EQ.

The best "run around really fast" spec is probably Marksmen, since their combo point builder and finisher give you a pretty big runspeed buff, and they have another short-cooldown runspeed buff.

Looking to get back on the RIFT train once it goes free. My account has an old mobile authenticator attached but it broke with some Android update (back when 4.0.4 or 4.1 or something came out) and then I stopped playing and basically I have no way to get the authenticator reinstalled.

What do I need to do to get the old authenticator removed and what information will I need?

Edit: Got the invites. Thanks!

Actually, cleric gets a lot of use out of Defiler. It is great for soloing and a lot of DPS builds have used 4pt defiler in them for rage blight. It is also good to have a 61pt Defiler in raids. I think warrior gets the least out of its SL soul, but even then it might be good to have Tempest for fights when your raid needs more ranged DPS (3rd boss in TDQ can be terrible as melee unless the other DPS can take out the wisps without you).

I purchased the Ashes of History upgrade yesterday but I haven't seen any sign of the personal banker, faction tabard or spindrel mount ingame. I assume they come in the mail? Is there some kind of weekend delay I should account for or should I be getting in touch with customer support?

Cool, I have those, they work with the restore authenticator option but because my phone has changed since then it just says "wrong device". I'll call them, thanks. I can't find the support number anywhere though. I'm in the UK.

It should have been almost immediate. I suggest live chat customer support, they'll fix it for you. I assume the purchase shows up in your billing history for your account, verify that first off just in case there was some error there with internets.

They said something along the lines of being able to purchase the barnacle encrusted source machine with credits, and possibly in the future adding others that could be purchased for currency and that it would be a ways off for that implement.

If that is literally the only thing I miss out on by making a new account and getting 30 days free I'll do that them instead of giving up my 30 days free time to get a character with +40 water resist that might be made available again later anyway.
