Rift's anniversary celebration rolls over to Phase 4 on Thursday, March 22.

"A dark future do I see for you Ascended, beset upon two sides. Remember who your true enemy is... beware the rumblings of the Earth and the scorch of the Flame..."
-Aerilis the Seer

Phase 4 of Carnival of the Ascended is scheduled to begin on Thursday, March 22. During this phase dragon parades will cease their marching and faction rivalry heats up. This is the last week that both the pinatas will be found around Telara and that the carnival games will remain open for play; the merchants will still remain throughout the rest of the event. The portals linking the Meridian and Sanctum to Shimmersand will also disappear after this stage.

The Defiants and Guardians have stationed outposts in various locations and saboteurs are attacking them! Earn your Pyrite Doubloon for this phase by putting a stop to the master saboteurs. Help progress your faction's phase goal by rooting out any other saboteurs around the outposts. Crafters have also been called upon to assist with getting supplies to the outposts.

Remember that this is the last week to easily rake in those Prize Tickets and Glass Beads!
