RIFT: Battle Pass

Goals and Constraints

• Goal: Give players a compelling reason to revisit underplayed and legacy content and re-enter the world across dungeons, warfronts, rifts, and open-world activities.
• Goal: Create simple, trackable objectives that guide weekly play without feeling like chores.
• Constraint: Very small team (fewer than 5). We chose a pass-style framework for the most bang for the buck by leveraging existing systems, UI surfaces, and reward hooks.

System at a Glance

• 30 levels per season; 20,000 BPXP per level (about 600,000 total).
• Three reward strata: Free track, Battle Pass, and Battle Pass plus Patron.
• Modifiers: Battle Pass adds +25% BPXP; Patron adds +25% BPXP and two extra dailies (up to +50% combined).

Quests and Resets

• Per-player randomized dailies and weeklies across categories to spread players through older content.
• Daily reset at 4:00 AM server time; weekly reset on Wednesday.
• One free daily and one free weekly re-roll each reset; additional re-rolls cost credits. Random Dungeon and Warfront Victory do not appear on re-roll.

Progression and Rewards

• BPXP pools account-wide per region (NA and EU tracked separately).
• Each completed quest grants an Expertise Cache (small Loyalty plus Expertise Shards: one from dailies, five from weeklies) used at the Tempest Bay vendor for past-season rewards.
• Reward track mixes cosmetics, credits, and premium items to keep weekly targets meaningful without hard gating.

Battle Pass UI

• Use the tabs at the bottom to switch between Activities and Rewards.
• On Activities, players see their daily and weekly quests and claim BPXP when completed.
• On Rewards, players browse the track and claim unlocked rewards.
• Players can also buy or gift the Battle Pass directly from this window.

Typical Time to Complete

• Free to Play: about 49 days
• Battle Pass only: about 39 days
• Patron only: about 30 days
• Battle Pass plus Patron: about 25 days
