Rift PopularTerms - Confused About The Game?

Here is a list of popular terms - there are loads but going to put the main ones here:


Leveling - The main object of the game is to level your character to level 50 - this is referred to as leveling.


Builds - To make your character stronger you have different "builds" basically if you have a good build than you have a strong build.


Souls - Souls are the parts that make up your build - you can have 3 souls active at one time and the souls you pick will affect your build.



Sounds way more complicated than what it is.


A good PVP build for instance for the Rogue would be made up of the Riftstalker, Saboteur, Asassin build.


Then you would allocate points on each soul to make up a build.


So Builds are the finished result and the Souls are the parts that make the builds.


PVP - Player vs Player


PVE - Player vs Environment or leveling builds


Raiding - When you form a big party with other players - normally to take on bosses or dungeons and you get better rewards.


Rifts - Rifts are when a portal opens up in the game and enemies come flying out - again you get some good items from these and the higher the level you are the better the drops.


Drops - Anything that drops that you can pick up.


NPC - Non playable character - computer
