RIFT news » Summerfest 2015 is coming June 12!

Gather your lures and pack your bags! Summerfest returns to Telara June 12 – July 1 along with scavenger hunts, fishing, exploring, companions, and new cosmetic items fit for a season of fun in the sun.

Dive into new scavenger hunts across Goboro Reef, Draumheim, and Tarken Glacier, complete the Summer Royalty Achievement to earn your Ravensong mount, and check out this year’s all-new gear including Backpacks and Fae Wings!

ZONE EVENT: THE EXUVIA OF KHARGROTH

In tune with the cyclical nature of the seasons, Swarmlord Khargroth gathers those loyal to him and unleashes them upon Telara. Thwart his quest for revenge and loot the treasures of the devilish Fae.

SCAVENGER HUNTS

Join your friends for scavenger hunts throughout Telara – ride a barrel down Scarlet Gorge Falls, risk life and lips to plant a kiss on some of Telara’s greatest villains, and more. You’ll have to follow the clues, though – hunt objectives aren’t marked on your map!

NEW MINIONS & RARE COMPANIONS

Get Muirden from the RIFT Store to unlock a series of Minions Adventures that lead to – what else – 5 more new Minions! Unique and adorable critters have also returned to zones across Mathosia. Catch and befriend special companions from black bunnies to striped prairie dogs and colorful cobras.

SUMMER LOOKS

Summer fashion’s alive at the RIFT Store: Collect a variety of swimsuits and open Summerfest Party Baskets packed with seasonal items, pets, currencies, artifacts, Essences, or (for the very lucky) Ravensong himself. Meanwhile, our new Backpacks and Fae Costumes are the essence of hotness, with unique appearances never before seen in RIFT!

SEASON’S TREASURES

Camp out to earn the title “the Counselor” and catch Summer Sunfish from special nodes throughout the event. As you complete Summerfest quests, you’ll earn Friendship Bracelets and Merit Badges you can trade in for even more seasonal loot.
