Upgradeable Items (Rift)  

Rift 2.0: Storm Legion Nov. 13, 2012
RIFT Wikibase™ Guides

Storm Legion introduced the concept of Upgradeable Gear. These are items that can be upgraded with the help of another item to become a better version of itself. The item description will tell you it is Upgradeable. Also, this is indicated by two white up-arrows in the upper-right corner of the item's icon.

The gear works like HK gear, requiring a Cell and the gear. Bind the correct Cell to your gear to tailor it for your role.

For example: You can buy a Depleted Empyreal Defender's Dagger. If you buy and install a Glowing Empyreal Power Node to it you get a Glowing Empyreal Defender's Dagger. If you buy and install a Radiating Empyreal Power Node to it you get a Radiating Empyreal Defender's Dagger.

Alt+LeftClick on any item to see the Upgrade Path for that item. Most items will only have one possible upgrade; however some upgraded items are, themselves, upgradeable. If you mouseover the Cell the description will tell you where you can obtain it. Some Cells can be bought, and some only come from certain Dungeons or specific named mobs found in the world.

Adventure Gear Torvan Hunters World Gear Expert Gear Raid Gear

Adventure Gear

Adventure Dealers sell gear that is better than much of the dropped or quested gear but not as good as the World Gear from the Torvan Hunters.

Look for:

• Cefrolulo Ricajo at Tuldio Retreat in Kingdom of Pelladane
• Gantoj Tallarines at Tulan in Cape Jule
• Dame Uragano at The Academy in Tempest Bay

They will trade armor pieces and Cells for Empyreal Sourcestones.

The Torvan Hunters

World Gear

The Torvan Hunters at the Academy in Tempest Bay sell World Gear and special lures that can open a Hunt tear for a specific named Planar boss. They also have NPCs for Raid and Sliver dailies.

See Bela Hidrargo at The Academy in Tempest Bay. She will trade armor pieces and Cells for Infinity Stones.

Expert Gear

See Urbo Sezono at The Academy in Tempest Bay. He will trade armor pieces and Cells for Empyreal Slayer's Marks.

Raid Gear

See Nox Alar at The Academy in Tempest Bay. He will trade armor pieces for Frozen Eclipse Stones.
