A further PvP (Player versus Player) soul is earned by winning PvP matches.

So, you could have a Rogue that starts with the souls of an Assassin, Riftstalker and Blade Dancer, and then purchase another Role that you fill with the souls of Ranger, Marksman and Saboteur. Rift’s PvP battlegrounds offer a variety of map types and objectives You have room for only three souls at a time, but in a novel twist on the RPG genre, you can purchase further “Roles” that let you mix-and-match these souls to create a uniquely custom class. It follows the basic RPG conventions: you create a character based on one of four archetypal classes – Rogue, Warrior, Mage or Cleric – and then perform quests to gain experience, and as you gain levels you earn new abilities.Įach class is split into eight very different sub-classes, and in an early quest chain, you summon the ghost of each type of sub-class to capture its soul.
