Editing Rifts (section)

=== The fights ===

Difficulty climbs with rank, and so does the payout; incoming hits are softened by that same factor, so a Beta or Alpha blow lands no more dangerous, proportionally, than the ordinary fight's — you're just taking more, smaller hits for a longer fight. The level requirement doesn't change with rank; only the numbers below do.

Every rank fight also still pays its boss's usual crest item (Warden's Sigil, Sovereign Twinshard, Riftheart Core, or Rift Prime Shard) and rolls that boss's Riftforged pieces at the usual 5% each — ranked wins are a legitimate way to farm the '''[[#The Riftforged set|Riftforged set]]''', not just shards. Only the Rift Shard payout and, at Alpha, the Relic/Whetstone rows change from the ordinary fight.
