With RIFT 3.4: Into the Wilds coming out around Oct 7th, a whole bunch of new recipes will be hitting Live including a new tier of runes, new tier of pots and a whole bunch of new Planar and Regular Dream Orbs.
Briefly:
Note : The information below is based on the recipes as they are on the PTS. The crafted item stats and ingredients could change at any point between now and when the patch hits live.
Since some of the recipes listed below are similar except for their Imperishable [Element] requirement, here’s a refresher of which elements refer to which class/role:
Since Primalists use DEX as their primary stat, they’ll also match the Rogue’s elements.
Apothecaries have a new tier of all their pots as well as new planar-crafted seals in RIFT 3.4.
Planar Crafted Seals. Requires 450 Apothecary to craft.
Located: RIFT Store -> Crafting -> Apothecary.
Cost: Each recipe costs 265 Grandmaster + 875 Master + 3,500 Artisan Craft Marks.
Base Seal gives Main Stat + 205; Upgrade gives Main Stat + 245.
Upgraded planar seal has the same stats as the max upgraded Nightmare Seal. If you don’t want to farm up hundreds of Nightmare Rift Motes, the new planar seals are a time-effective (but costly) alternative.
Recipe: Heretic’s Faetouched Seal (WIS+205)
Recipe: Arcanist’s Blazing Seal (INT+205)
Recipe: Bloodthirster’s Abhorrent Seal (DEX+205)
Recipe: Destroyer’s Charged Seal (STR+205)
Recipe: Telluric Seal of Defense (END+205)
Additional Information:
Imperishables are obtained from Planar Craft Rifts or 1,000 Credits from RIFT Store -> Crafting.
Endless Dust (4p 20g) and Disintegrating Blend (1p) are obtained from RIFT Store -> Crafting -> Reagents.
The upgraded Planar Seal has same stats as max upgraded Nightmare Seal. Crafting and upgrading the Planar Seal will probably be a much faster option than trying to max out a Nightmare Seal.
Upgrade cost for the Planar Seal follows the same pattern for each seal:
Additional Information:
Imperishables are obtained from Planar Craft Rifts or 1,000 Credits from RIFT Store -> Crafting. The [Element] is the same as the element for the base seal. I.e. Heretic’s Faetouched Seal requires Imperishable Life to craft. It also requires Imperishable Life to upgrade.
Void Source Accelerator is available from RIFT Store -> Equipment -> Upgrade Parts for 5,850 Void Stones.
A whole new tier of pots is available for most of the existing consumables from the Apothecary trainer. I’m only showing the ones that players use most often, but it includes the full range of pots (including Serums).
Located: Apothecary Trainer.
Cost: Each recipe costs 4plat 62g 66s.
Note: Endless Dust costs 4p 20g each, obtained from RIFT Store -> Crafting -> Reagents.

A new tier of runes are available from the Runecrafter trainer. There’s also craftable Earring runes from the Artisan Store or RIFT Store -> Crafting -> Runecrafter.
Located: Recipes are obtained from Smokey at /setwaypoint 5887 5576 next to the Runecrafter Trainer in Choreburg, Draumheim.
Cost: Each recipe costs 4plat 62g 66s.
Each new recipe requires:
*First time it appeared on PTS the new runes used the relic Dreaming Rune Amenders, but have since changed to the epic Opaque Rune Amenders since the PTS Update on 4th Sept 2015.
There’s new BiS craftable earring runes.
Located: RIFT Store -> Crafting -> Runecrafter.
Cost: Each recipe costs 265 Grandmaster + 875 Master + 3,500 Artisan Craft Marks.
There’s two tiers:
1st Tier of the new planar crafted earring runes have the same stats as the Onir notoriety runes.
The 2nd Tier will become BiS once it is introduced.
Recipe Cost
Recipe costs are the same, excluding the specific Imperishable [Element] crafting material you’ll need. The 2nd tier requires the 1st tier’s rune, so you’ll need both recipes to get the BiS rune.
Initial Recipe
Upgraded Recipe
The Telluric Rune of Defense (tank earring rune) uses Imperishable Terrene.
Note: The new BiS runes available via the upgrade recipe vendor for existing runes had its Rune Amender cost changed from (relic) Dreaming to (epic) Opaque Rune Amender. Currently on PTS the new Earring runes still require Dreaming Rune Amenders. It’s unknown at this stage whether Morticus will choose to change them to Opaque or keep them as Dreaming.
Not crafted, but the Planetouched Wilds zone introduces new Shal Korva faction notoriety. With it comes a new rep rune for Seals.
They cost 120p and requires Honored with Shal Korva for Minor Rune. For the max rune, they require Revered with Shal Korva and cost 150p.
The Shal Korva Quartermaster “Windspeaker Nayantai” is located in Shal Korva, Planetouched Wilds (Mathosia) at /setwaypoint 10315 5898.
Since you’re probably going to do it yourself anyway, here’s the maths for what mats you need:
Note: Craft components like Hazy Dreams and Lucid Dreams have 20hr cooldowns on their recipes.
To upgrade all your existing runes (excludes the new earring recipes) you’ll need:
Recipe Mats for 13x Opaque Rune Amenders are:
| 13 | Hazy Dreams |
| 117 | Dust of the Void |
| 208 | Attainium Crystal |
| 130 | Nightmare Star |
| 156 | Capricious Star |
| 624 | Pelagic Fragments |
Breaking that all down to primary components, for 13x Opaque Rune Amenders, you’ll need:
| 416 | Capricious Star |
| 130 | Nightmare Star |
| 520 | Diaphanouse Cloth |
| 520 | Fabled Hide |
| 195 | Fused Sarfiber |
| 715 | Thalasite Crystal |
| 208 | Attainium Crystal |
| 260 | Dream Ribbon |
| 624 | Pelagic Fragments |
| 117 | Dust of the Void |
| 520 | Essence of Reverie |
Keeping Earring Runes costs separate because they cost 10 arms and 3 legs for a minor stat increase from existing notoriety earring runes.
Total mats required for 2x Improved Earring Runes:
| 2 | Imperishable [Element] |
| 32 | Capricious Star |
| 70 | Nightmare Star |
| 240 | Diaphanouse Cloth |
| 240 | Fabled Hide |
| 120 | Fabled Leather |
| 36 | Fused Sarfiber |
| 218 | Thalasite Crystal |
| 16 | Thalasite Ingot |
| 32 | Thalasite Bar |
| 48 | Attainium Crystal |
| 140 | Dream Ribbon |
| 128 | Pelagic Fragments |
| 48 | Risarian Minim |
| 68 | Dust of the Void |
| 176 | Essence of Reverie |
| 4 | Endless Dust |
Dream Weavers are getting a couple of new Dream Orbs:
You can view some of the new dream orb stats below:
There’s new Improved Dream Orbs for each of the existing dream orbs that use existing slots: Helm, Shoulders, Cape and Neck.
Location: Dream Weaver Trainer
Cost: Each recipe costs 4plat 62g 66s.
The Improved Dream Orbs are the same stats as the normal dream orbs, except they only have 12 combinations instead of 15.
Simply ignore the lowest value for each stat combination in the Dream Orb Stat Sheet and you have the possible stats for the Improved version of each dream orb. (updates on stats on-going).
Note: At current AH prices, it’s not worth crafting Improved Savant Dream Orbs. However, the Improved versions of the lower-tier orbs (Lesser/Median/Greater) are more cost effective than the original orbs if you don’t have Level 61+ gear, mainly because Coruscating Ethereal Shards used in the original recipes cost 14,500 Void Stones.
New Planar Dream Orbs have been introduced that can only be applied on Belts, Gloves and Earrings. The four tiers of Planar Dream Orbs are ‘Faint’, ‘Glowing’, ‘Radiant’ and ‘Blinding’.
Location: RIFT Store -> Crafting -> Dream Weaver.
Cost: Recipes cost 265 Grandmaster + 875 Master + 3,500 Artisan Craft Marks each to purchase. (Yes, same cost to purchase the recipes, even the lower-tier orbs).
There’s still RNG with what stats you get as they act the same as the current Dream Orbs, except these only apply to Belt, Gloves and Earrings.
The Planar Dream Orbs have only 16 possible combinations compared to the old Dream Orbs’ 20. For the highest-tier (relic) Blinding Dream Orbs, there are only 12 possible combinations.
Mats are quite considerable, requiring up to 10x Imperishable Motes for a batch, amongst other requirements. This is still on the PTS though so it is subject to change.
Batch of Faint Dream Orbs
Batch of Glowing Dream Orbs
Batch of Radiant Dream Orbs
Batch of Blinding Dream Orbs
Note: According to tooltips all four types of Planar Dream Orbs can only be applied to Level 65 gear. This could be subject to change.
Note2: Dream Bolts are gained by clicking on a stack of 99x Dream Ribbons.
Note3: Even though the “Batch of Radiant Dream Orbs” tooltip stats that it offers the best potential stats of all Dream Orbs, it actually doesn’t. Only the Blinding Dream Orbs offer BiS.
You can view some of the new dream orb stats below:
Survivalists are getting a new ‘Feast of the Rhenke’ under RIFT Store -> Crafting -> Survivalist, as well as a whole bunch of food from the trainer.
The new ‘Feast of the Rhenke’ requires a bunch of Nightmare Tide fish/meat.
The increase in cost of the recipe compared to the Feast of the Ghar is significant compared to the relatively small amount of stat increase. That said, every bit counts, right?
The new food isn’t all that interesting since the feast offers better stats. Only use for the new food would be if you want to kill an invasion in 5 hits with 2k overkill compared to 5 hits with 1.8k overkill. Or you want that extra boost when soloing difficult content and can’t afford to use a feast. [Image]
Apothecaries and Runecrafters now have their own Planar Crafting Weekly!
Location: Just a reminder that the Planar Crafting Weekly that rewards you with a Crafting Lure is obtained from Tephael the Usurper, located at /setwaypoint 5866 5521 in Choreburg, Draumheim opposite the normal crafting weekly NPC.
Requires you craft a ‘Heavy Water Rune’ quest item:
Requires you craft a ‘Essence of Heavy Water’ quest item:
From current AH prices and in terms of ease of farming, the Runecrafter weekly is one of your cheapest option for the Planar Crafting Weekly by far.
Fishing weekly is also very cheap, but mainly if you either fish or run enough minions for the mats. The Fishing weekly requires 25x Zirthan Dreamleech and 7x Yellow Petrel. Yellow Petrel can sometimes go for 60g+ on the AH.
Runecrafter weekly is faster to obtain manually via runebreak or through minions, but a single Capricious Star can be quite expensive if you are purchasing off the AH.
Hope this article helps you prep up for RIFT 3.4! Be sure to check out if your guild has a plan for who gets what recipe if you’re trying to gear up fast before the upcoming Tier 3 20-man “Mind of Madness” raid.
Recipes you’ll probably want to plan with your guild for are the various Earring and Improved Earring runes, Feast of the Rhenke and Blinding Dream Orbs recipes. Other than those, optional purchase are the Seals for those who don’t have max Nightmare seals and can’t be bothered farming Nightmare motes. The rest can be gained via trainer for plat so don’t require any guild planning.
