RIFT Launches Its First Hunter Competition, The Great Hunt

- Rewards are distributed to the top ten finishers:
- 1st place — 4,000 Credits and the title the Master of the Elements
- 2nd place — 2,500 Credits and the title the Scholar of the Elements
- 3rd place — 1,500 Credits and the title the Initiate of the Elements
- 4th–10th place — 500 Credits each
