Travelling in Rift

I enjoy travelling in Rift. There are two main ways of getting around - teleports that take you to a central area of each region, or huffing it on foot / horse. The transportation system isn't overly developed and there is still a lot of walking, which I appreciate. It helps mantain the immersion and creates an actual world rather than a few disconnected islands. I especially like how the artifact hunt keeps you riding between locations, even when you could have teleported!

There is also a lot to discover. Yesterday I visited this wonderful place called Grey Gardens. It was rainy and grey and yet full of color and light. It wasn't quite time yet to stay and hang out, but I am really looking forward to getting to know this area better.

Instead, I ventured back to the Scarlet Gorge with Sery. We scaled the cliffs in the north and found this place called Lover's Leap - a cliff edge extremely high up above a waterfall with a pool below. I tried to convince Sery to strip for the jump, but he wouldn't hear of it. Pansy. I stripped on my own and prepared for the jump. I'm a plate-wearer, I'm NOT about to take a 100 meter leap into a basin wearing my own weight in metal. That would be slightly dumb.


Anyway, we both survided the fall and cashed in an achievement for the jump - hooray!

It was greta fun and we decided to celebrate by doing some senseless slaughter of the local wildlife in Scarwood Reach.
