How To Buy Rift Subscription

Because you need to pay to play, today you are going to learn how to buy your Rift subscription. This will be a pretty brief post, as it is not exactly a difficult thing to do. However, if you are new to the concept of MMORPG games then it stands to reason that you might get a little bit confused with how to pay for your Rift subscription.

In order to pay for Rift, you have two main methods:

You can either pay by credit card through the Rift in-game system, or you can purchase pre-paid game cards to continue playing.

When it comes to paying by credit card, you can either pay per month, or sign up for an extended period of time and receive a discount off the purchase price. You pay $14.99 USD per month normally. However:

• Sign up for 3 months and pay $12.29 a month.
• Sign up for 6 months and pay $10.29 a month.
• Sign up for 12 months and pay $8.99 a month.

Of course if you don't like giving out your credit card details online, or you are too young to have a credit card, then you should get a prepaid Rift game card. One of these will provide 2 months playing time, and cost you the equivalent of $23.99.

How To Attack In Rift

In today's post we are going to look at how to attack in Rift. This might sound basic, but a lot of players are very new to online RPG games and may be confused as to how to perform this very basic task.
Basic melee and ranged attacks are performed by right clicking on an enemy with the mouse.
You can select enemies by using the left mouse button.
Using the TAB key will allow you to quickly scroll through enemies and identify the most dangerous targets.
There is a global cooldown period that occurs whenever you use a special ability/spell; this lasts for about half a second.
If you have selected certain souls, or soul combinations, then you will have access to 'pets'. These are very handy companions in combat, but they can be tricky to use. If your pet's stance is set to 'aggressive' then it will attack any enemy on sight. On 'defensive' it will only attack when you select a target to attack. 'Passive' means you have to click on the pet's attack ability, then right click on an enemy.

How To Play Rift Like A Pro

Today you are going to learn how to play Rift like a pro. This hugely popular MMORPG can be frustrating to play if you are new to the genre, but by reading the following guide you will be a top player in next to no time. These basic and intermediate tips and strategies are easy to follow, and I will be updating this post regularly with new advice and methods that will teach you how to play Rift properly.

• Learning the mechanics of combat is one of the most important things that you can do when starting out with Rift. Basically, you can either use the left mouse button, or the TAB key, to select enemies. I recommend that you use TAB to allow yourself to quickly scroll through enemies. Use it to locate the threats closest to you so that you can respond with speed and avoid taking damage.
• Whenever you use a skill/spell/action in combat there is a Global Cooldown period. Your abilities will grey out for a second as they recharge. In the video below you can see the Global Cooldown displayed very clearly.

• Use the Right mouse button to attack your enemies with ranged/melee weapons or equipped spells.
• When you are engaged in combat your health will not automatically regenerate (until the combat has finished) Mana does continue to regenerate during combat, however. If you require healing you will have to use spell/potions/healing items, or have an ally heal you.
• Classes in Rift: Planes of Telara are generally referred to as 'callings'. There are four main callings- Warrior, Rogue, Mage, and Cleric. Each calling is then broken down into a series of sub-callings, known as 'souls'. You can select up to four souls from your calling to put points into. However, by using all four souls you will "water down" your character and have a hard time creating a powerful build (unless you are 100% positive of what you are doing)
• Completing quests is the fastest and most efficient way to gain experience points during earlier stages of the game. Don't waste your time with huge amounts of combat, or Rifts/invasions until you have hit at least level 20. Once you progress this far through the game you will have a better feel for combat and be more readily able to do both PvE and PvP combat successfully.
• If you die you can either wait for an hour to respawn in your current location (when you respawn you get a few seconds to get to safety) or your 'spirit' can be resurrected at a nearby graveyard, and you can make your way back to your body and revive yourself. Rift is fairly kind when you die, which will happen.
• Guardian and Defiant are the two 'factions' in the game- walk into the opposing faction's areas and you run the risk of being killed.
• If you are unsure of what calling to select then I highly recommend that you play as a Rogue. This calling has a lot of powerful souls and effective builds available.
• Read Rift Supremacy to learn how to play Rift like a pro- it is the best Rift strategy guide out.

More Rift Pyromancer Video Footage

One of my favorite builds in Rift is the pyromancer. Fire mages have always been a character type that I have enjoyed playing as, and the pyromancer in Rift is no exception. Check out the video below with a brief guide to creating a fire mage in Rift, as well as footage of this character build in action owning up the place.

What is your favorite character build in Rift? Perhaps you prefer something a bit more up-close and personal, like a tanking Warrior build. Please drop a comment and let me know, and I'll make a gameplay video of your favorite class/build.

How Much Are Rift Prepaid Cards?

A Rift prepaid game card is an excellent alternative to setting up a credit card payment account to play the game. Buying one of these also provides a healthy discount off the regular monthly cost of playing the game. Rift normally costs $14.99 a month to play, but you can get a 2 month (60 day) prepaid card for $23.99 from Amazon. This works out at $11.99 a month, so you save a few bucks per month. Also, you don't need to risk putting your credit card details into the Rift system- deal with the world's largest online retailer instead.

One of these cards is also a great option if you want to trial the game, but are not sure whether you want to play it intensively. A single month is not long enough to get to know the nuances of the game, but two months will give you ample time!
