Probably a dumb question but is it possible to 'game' the Raptr time played value? I'd like to fake having the 16 hours played to get the expansion + goodies.

It's time logged in, you can just ark over night and get 8 hours easy.

So they've said that people that bought the year subscription for the free expansion will get $50 in cash shop credit, have they said if we'll have patron status until that year is up as well?

I've decided to give this another try with the game going free to play. I have like 90k store credit from my account age and subscription time. Are there super awesome account wide perks to buy or anything besides xp pots to but to make leveling easier? I have like 25 pots per character already.

How the hell did you get 90k credits? Ummm well get the SL souls if you don't have them, the bag is good, change yourself to a female bahmi with a fro obviously, unlock the bag slots on your char, maybe bank slots and crafting skills. There is nothing super awesome, it's a good f2p model.

My fault, it's 21k, I did the year deal when SF came out, but burned out on my Mage by 53. Want to try this time since they seem to be going in a more technological bent for them.

You get the expansion content for free but still need to buy the Storm Legion souls from the Rift Store for about $20 worth of credits. In doing so you'll probably be put very close to clearing the first tier of Loyalty, so there's that too. Getting to the second tier of Loyalty nets you a 110% speed mount you can use from level 1.

One thing to pay attention to is where you collect things the Rift Store gives you. Up in the top right when you first open it (key is ]) you'll see a box with stuff you can claim. Each day you log in you'll get a box from there with a free random artifact.

Uh, as Stumbly mentioned there's a set of presets you can choose which will tell you where to put your points each level but they are, in my opinion, too broadly focused and you'll end up taking stuff you probably don't need for just say, questing or healing a 5-man. They are good for getting a feel of the various soul combinations though.

As for healing itself, what I've found in my experience is the best early-game healing comes from focusing on Warden with a touch of Sentinel. Warden is the water HoT soul, and is very, very much like Resto Druid healing. Sentinel has instant life-based heals and healing buffs, while Purifier has shields and powerful but long-cast fire-based heals. With more talent points Purifier probably gets better but if you focus on it at say level 15-20, you'll just have shields that absorb maybe a single hit, and heals that take 3 seconds to cast. YMMV though, so try all of them, respeccing is cheap.

Edit: wtf, I thought I refreshed before typing this.

Are all the claim items only once per account? There's a couple of veteran's rewards in there that I already get on every character.

I opened one and got 100 Conqueror's Marks, 75 Frozen Stones and a relic ring.
