Rift Key
Opens an Ember Rift at the Rift Altar in Emberfall. Each key has a tier (monster level 40 at tier 1, +3 per tier, no end) and up to three modifiers that make the rift harder and pay extra loot and XP.
Nobody forges them. A key is a shard of the old burn that cooled in the shape of a door, and it only ever opens the same wound.
Tips
- Your first key is free: the altar gives a tier 1 key to any hero without one.
- Clear a rift in time and everyone who ran it gets a key one tier higher.
- Keys can be banked, traded and listed on the Grand Market like any bag item. They cannot be worn or sold to a merchant.
