🏵️ Items of Interest 🏵️
○ This space is for your suggested items of interest! I'm leaving this open to how people interpret the new gear this month. Ping me with a decent argument for something being an item of interest (feel free to use previous checklists as a baseline) and I'll be adding these things here in a day or so.
In the meantime, pick up some of the summoner gear! It can really help the summoner class.

📘 Notes 📘
○ For codexing, the raids have your standard 10 status immunities (all common 11 minus Petrify 🥳), but the monsters have no immunities. The bosses, however, are immune to  only the 5 damaging statuses, being Poison, Bleeding, Burning, Rot, and Blight.
○ All the raids also have an immunity to Dark and Holy, but everything else has nothing else. 
○ Be careful with some of the raids and monsters! They can proc bleeding, which can be detrimental if you're a Realm.
○ Stock up on the Summoner gear! As of right now, they're some of the better things you can get for the new classline.

🏵️ Riftfall Quest Guide 🏵️
Once a year, the rift opens, and the fallen judges of Elysium arrive once again.

Clarent is an NPC exclusive to this event that appears in the world much like Samson and the other quest NPCs show up. Talk to him to receive your first quest and begin the questline. You'll need to talk to him every time to get a new quest.

There are 7 total quests, the first 6 fall under a pattern of gathering Riftlock Fragments and then killing the Shadow of the respective Judge. Riftlock Fragments can be gotten from killing various new Rift mobs around the world and in dungeons. It's advised to either world-farm with a party, or go and do normal dungeons to find these. Each one drops one fragment, regardless of tier. The Shadows can be found in the last floor of a dungeon as a boss, and part of their quest requires you to get their Theta Riftlock, one of their drops. This should drop on kill always. It's suggested that you pick up TWO of each Theta Riftlock, but this is useful later.

Quest 1: Get 10 Achlys Fragments - Rift Rogues, T5/T8
Quest 2: Kill Shadow of Achlys (T5)
Quest 3: Get 20 Rhada Fragments - Riftguards, T6/T8
Quest 4: Kill Shadow of Rhada (T6)
Quest 5: Get 30 Charon Fragments - Rift Summoners, T7/T9
Quest 6: Kill Shadow of Charon (T7)

Find which one of the two monsters is easier to farm for you based off your situation regarding fragments, and farm that. It's better to farm for one of the two than compromising a bit to get both in the pool, but if it works for you, it works!

The seventh quest requires you to use the 3 assembled Delta Riftlocks you got from completing the previous quests, as well as one of each of the Theta Riftlocks again. This will give you the Omega Riftlock (a summoner accessory) and you will be able to see the Shades of the judges, which are stronger versions of the Shadows.
