Scarhide EU PvP

Hi folks,

Short and sweet (as it were) – I’m looking to get a few more mods on the site. Due to me being busy with different projects and work, I’ll need to have some more help with this site. So if you fancy being a forum/site moderator or a site poster (posting new content such as stories, news and community events ect…) then pop me a message and we’ll see what can be done! Cheers.

Hi Folks, just a quick update. In order to keep things more organized I’ve updated the forums, albeit changed them really – to a more manageable state. Hopefully it’ll be easier to follow conversations this way. If you’ve any questions or concerns please give me a shout.

With a complete inventory of every player discovered weapon, armor piece, item, recipe, and collection in the game, we proudly unveil our Rift Database!

We’re pleased to annouce the unveiling of our Rift database! Every player discovered weapon, armor piece, item, recipe, artifact collection, ability, and achievement is cataloged and searchable. It’s like Wowhead…. for Rift!

Click here to go directly to the database search for items, recipes, collections, achievements or abilities. Or, if you just feel like browsing, you can select one of the options from the database menu dropdown here at ZAM Rift.

Read beyond the break to learn more about how you can find exactly the piece of Rift information that you’re looking for and what you can expect from the ZAM database in the coming weeks. But if you can’t wait any longer, dive into the database and check things out!

There are thousands upon thousands of different things to see in the database, and it is highly recommended that anyone using the database include some filters to limit the scope of their search. With nearly 32,000 items to sort through in the item database alone, setting some parameters for your search is definitely a good idea.

To make things easier to find initially, I’ve gone ahead and split the database up into the various sections for you to browse.

Item Database

The backbone of almost all MMOs, finding the best item for your character is incredibly important. Armor, weapons, rings, and more fall into the item category, so most gamers will likely spend a great deal of their time in this database searching for two-handed axes like Wyrmrend, leather armor like Thieves Girdle, or the perfect off-hand item like Voltaic Totem. Check out what players have found… there’s definitely some unique items in there!

Recipe Database

Crafting is an artform, and those that truly love to hone their skills will find a large variety of information in the recipe database with everything from the necessary items listed to make a Band of Crystallized Mana (with links to those items included) to how much your Blazing Precise Runeshard sells for to a merchant. Want to become the most efficient crafter on your shard? This is the place to find out!

Collections Database

One of the most fun parts of any MMO is trying to complete everything in the game, and the collection part of Rift definitely focuses squarely on that singular function. Unlike the game, however, the ZAM collections database has every single player discovered collection not only listed, but we include the rewards for that collection as well. Want to know what you gain from the Exarch Invader Storm Artifacts? Simply look it up and find out!

Achievement Database

If you’re an achievement collector, this is definitely the tool for you. With a few options selected in the filter, you can search through the entire list of in-game achievements by categories like character advancement, PvP, dungeons, planes, and zones. Additionally, the list can be sorted by faction, so if you’re looking to show your pride and collect all the Defiant based achievements, that’s a totally viable option.

Ability Database

While you’re playing an MMO, it’s not always easy to figure out exactly what abilities would work best for you while you’re PvEing of PvPing, so we’ve gathered them all for you! Using our ability database let’s you quickly and easily locate exactly what abilities are used by souls, which we think is pretty handy.

Known Bugs

Like any brand new feature, there are a few known bugs in the database. As they become known (and squashed), I will do my best to keep them updated on this page. So far, these include:

* Discovered recipes that include items that aren’t discovered, leading to a broken tooltip.
* Some item icons are missing.
* Item menu needs some tweaking for easier navigation.

Coming Soon!

We’re definitely not stopping with just these database sections, and players will soon be able to browse through our database for quests, NPCs, and even more tools to make finding exactly what you want even easier. We’ve worked hard to bring you the information you’ve come to expect from top tier MMO sites, and we hope you enjoy what you find!

Came across this and found it a good watch. Will try and cover as many class specialities as we go along. If you want (or indeed have any guides yourself) to see a specific class guide let me know

Hi everyone, well it’s launch day (for NA players – still a few days left for Europe) and the floodgates have been opened to the masses. Given that there was such a large quantity of players that registered for head-start you’d be forgiven for thinking that the actual launch will see numbers soar into the atmosphere. But will this be the case? I must say – personally – that my first few days have been fun. Having said that though, I do have some reservations. Mainly; I can’t help but feel that Rift will be the architect of it’s own demise. Having been so hugely hyped by the developers it was a small bit underwhelming finally being able to get in and play. But this is just a personal opinion so don’t take it for gospel.

What Trion have done though, is perhaps provided the MMO community with one of the smoothest launches in the history of the genre. Never before have I experienced it. Even the mighty WoW had some major issues at launch. This is clearly a case of Trion taking the time necessary to construct a smooth launch, and kudos to them for having such patience and dignity. I’m sure your player base is grateful. As for the actual game? Well, it does so much right – but at what cost? It’s not really in a position to call itself ‘next gen’ but I do think Trion endeavoured to please as many fans of the genre as possible at the same time.

It certainly takes many queues from other MMOs: Battlegrounds from WoW, Public Quests from WAR, branching classes like in some of our Asian cousins MMOs, crafting not so dissimilar from LOTRO. A melting pot of ideas. Unfortunately for some people though, this won’t be enough. I think we’re at the stage now where the MMO has stagnated and hasn’t really moved in a forward motion for some years. Instead what we’re seeing are more refined versions  (in some cases) of previous games. With developers aiming to add another level of polish so that their game just edges it in terms of quality. And this is definitely the case with Rift. It is polished. Extremely so. In fact Rift is probably the most refined version of the current day ‘themepark MMO’ and for that, Trion truly deserve a pat on the back.

Hi folks!

Welcome to the Scarhide community website. As I began my journey into Telara the other day I saw that two new servers had been added for EU players – having chosen Scarhide as my home I thought it would be beneficial to all of us to have a nice community home where we can discuss all things Rift whether it be faction disputes, soul combinations, PvP / PvE, crafting or anything in-between.

There are a wealth of features already available on the site but I hope to add more as we go along. Which brings me to you, if you have any suggestions or feedback please don’t be shy (although I’m certain you won’t be) and let me know your thoughts. Hopefully, with a bit of luck, we can make this server a great place to play Rift!

Cheers,

Sprite
