The '''Rifts''' are three expedition-only zones that tear open beyond the [[Sundered Vale]] once you defeat the '''Sundered One'''. They are the game's deepest [[Expeditions|expedition]] content: repeatable boss fights, a currency all their own ('''Rift Shards'''), the '''Riftforged''' armour set, and the '''Rift Bazaar''' where shards are spent.

== Opening the Rifts ==

All three rift zones unlock the moment you beat the Sundered Vale's guardian, the '''Sundered One'''. Depth beyond that is gated by [[Expeditions]] level, not by further story — the toughest zone simply asks for a higher Expeditions level.

Rifts do not appear on the [[Map|Valley Map]] as ordinary [[Biomes]]; they are their own late-game layer past the Vale.

== The three zones ==

Each zone has a '''patrol''' action you can run freely and one or more '''boss''' fights. Boss fights are repeatable, but each zone's boss is gated behind '''25 patrol wins''' in that zone — clear patrols to earn the confrontation, then fight the boss as often as you like.

{| class="wikitable"
! Zone !! Action !! Type !! [[Expeditions]] level !! Difficulty !! Time !! XP !! Key rewards
|-
| the Rift Fringe || Rift Skirmish || Patrol || 68 || 260 || 62 s || 345 || Fringe Shard, 3 Rift Shards, Apex Scale (4%), Riftglass (3%)
|-
| the Rift Fringe || Confront the Rift Warden || Boss || 72 || 640 || 130 s || 1,430 || Warden's Sigil, 25 Rift Shards, Riftforged '''head + shield''' (5% each)
|-
| the Deep Rift || Deep Rift Patrol || Patrol || 78 || 310 || 66 s || 435 || Rift Bloom, 3 Rift Shards, Emberheart (3.5%), Riftglass (3%)
|-
| the Deep Rift || Confront the Twin Sovereigns || Boss || 82 || 800 || 140 s || 1,850 || Sovereign Twinshard, 25 Rift Shards, Riftforged '''chest + legs''' (5% each)
|-
| the Riftheart || Riftheart Assault || Patrol || 88 || 360 || 70 s || 540 || Heartshard, 3 Rift Shards, Apex Scale (4%), Riftglass (3%)
|-

|-
| the Riftheart || Storm the Riftheart Core || Boss || 96 || 1,100 || 160 s || 3,000 || Rift Prime Shard, 25 Rift Shards
|}

Every patrol also has a small chance (1.2%) to drop a Sundered Vale dig map for [[Delving]]. Boss fights hit hard but their damage is scaled down so a single blow can never overwhelm a maxed fighter.

== Rift Shards ==

'''Rift Shards''' are the rift currency. You earn '''3 per patrol win''' and '''25 per boss win'''. They cannot be sold — no trader will touch them — so their only use is the Rift Bazaar. This keeps the rift economy self-contained: shards in, permanent rewards out, with nothing to launder back into [[Amber]].

== The Rift Bazaar ==

The Bazaar spends Rift Shards on permanent stock. Two of its offers are one-time gear purchases; the rest are repeatable egg crates for [[Breeding|thin stables]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Offer !! Cost !! What you get
|-
| '''Rift Standard''' || 1,500 Shards (one-off) || A carried banner: '''+10 expedition score''' on every [[Expeditions|expedition]]
|-
| '''Riftbound Trinket''' || 2,500 Shards (one-off) || A trinket-slot charm (+12 attack, +20 defence) that adds '''+6% win chance inside the rifts'''
|-
| Small Egg crate || 90 Shards || 3 Small Eggs
|-
| Speckled Egg crate || 90 Shards || 3 Speckled Eggs
|-
| Large Egg crate || 90 Shards || 3 Large Eggs
|-
| Rich Egg crate || 90 Shards || 3 Rich Eggs
|-
| Pristine Egg crate || 90 Shards || 3 Pristine Eggs
|}

The egg crates are a pity source for players whose [[Breeding|stables]] don't yet lay a given egg class themselves. Vale Eggs remain stable-only — you can't buy them here.

== The Riftforged set ==

'''Riftforged''' is a boss-only [[Sets|expedition set]] — the bridge between the Sundered set and the top-tier Primal set. Its six pieces drop '''only from rift bosses''', at designated slots, 5% per piece per boss win:

* '''Rift Warden''' → Visor (head) and shield
* '''Twin Sovereigns''' → Plate (chest) and legs
* '''Riftheart Colossus''' → Cleaver (weapon) and Idol (trinket)

Per-piece stats: weapon +85 attack; each armour piece +68 defence; trinket +13 attack / +20 defence. Wearing the full set adds a flat '''+20 expedition score'''. Duplicate pieces sell for 780 [[Amber]] each.
