4.3 Quickstart Guide

4.3 lands on… Wednesday. The October 23rd PTS patch finally brings with it T2 gear available in the store, plus new upgrades for the planar crafted helmet and weapons. Let’s quickly look at things!

Shoutout to members of The Ghar Station Discord for helping me compile this info. Maddy & Keepro were the first there to start providing me with details. Thank you both!

Important Notes!

T2 raid gear

Obtained by clearing the new Bastion of Steel raid

New currency – Legion Datagrams

T2 Armor available in store for Legion Datagrams

T2 Armor – Vostigar Champion’s set – adjusted ilvl 4350, upgrades to 5050.

Initial gear is a ~6% upgrade over T1 upgraded armor

Upgraded T2 is a ~23% upgrade over T1 upgraded armor

Upgrades for T2 armor cost the same:

Planar Crafted Gear
2 new upgrade stages for both Helm and Ranged weapon

Both upgrades are a ~10.8% upgrade over the previous version

First new upgrade: Ethereal to Blazing (ilvl 4150 to 4600)

Second new upgrade: Blazing to Celestial (ilvl 4600 to 5100)

Mystic Archer

Mystic archer will be available in the Rift Store for 900 credits on October 25th. One REX, or 2 $5 credit packs should give you what is needed to purchase this. If you have bought the recent “Mummified Power Pack” for $19.99, you should have enough credits for this.

Autumn Harvest

Autumn Harvest begins on October 26th this year, running until November 16th this year. Expect the same quests as usual this year, though datamining suggests we might get something new that is fully voiced.
