The folks over at http://www.pcgamer.com/ posted a great article regarding the 1.3 patch, and I always like to share good information from other reliable sources: So, here’s a portion of their post.
Rift’s recent 1.3 update started the Waves of Madness, a multi-phase live event that will conclude with the opening of the Hammerknell raid instance in a couple weeks. The patch brought new companion pets and Item Sets, among other cosmetic and balance changes. But before the doors to the forsaken dwarven city open up, there’s going to be several weeks of exclusive, limited-time content for you to play and earn unique rewards from. But once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Luckily, we have you covered–we’re putting together guides over the next few weeks to help you get the most out of each Phase’s content while it’s hear for the conquering.
What’s Hammerknell?
Everything that takes place during the next few weeks is building towards the opening of Hammerknell, a dwarven city that’s been eerily silent since the rifts emerged. That’s not to say it’s safe. Far from it–the city is forsaken, and filled with all manner of ghouls and horrors. When its doors open there will be a new a 20-man raid awaiting, with high-end loot and some the most challenging content to date. In other words, it’s time to start getting geared, and the new daily quest content is a good place to start.
