Hunt Rifts
Hunt rifts are a special type of rift that was added for the Storm Legion zones.
There are a bunch of cheevos for closing these rifts, you can find the cheevos in H > Planes > Hunt Rifts.
Hunt Rifts are linked to the Torvan Hunters faction. Torvan Hunter notoriety goes all the way to Venerated. This will take months and months to farm. Complete the questline and then complete the dailies as often as you can until you reach your goal.
Hunt rifts have 7 tiers; Normal hunt rifts, Major hunt rifts, and then 5 tiers of Great hunt rifts. Normal and Major hunt rifts have 3 named rifts for each planar type. The Great hunts have one or two for each plane.
Great Hunt rifts were 20 man level 60 content back on release.
If you are still levelling your character, then it is best you leave this questline for now and come back at level 70 with at least half decent gear.
There are Planar Anomalys around the rifts to regain Planar Charges.
You wont need all the turrets/defences active to be able to complete the rift, however, you do gain small amounts of Torvan Hunters notoriety when you upgrade them, so it can be worthwhile to do during the duller moments.
Normal and Major Hunt Rifts
Normal and Major Hunt Rifts both work the same way. Major Hunt Rifts are harder due to the mobs having more health.
In the rift store you can buy Lures for each named Hunt rift, and for each named Major Hunt rift.
As you level through the Storm Legion zones you will encounter Hunt rifts out in the wild. These should be easy enough to solo, but you can just ignore them and come back to the questline/farm when you are higher level.
Both types are easy to solo at level 70.
Closing Normal and Major Hunt Rifts
- Stage 1: There will be a broken Conduit in the middle of the rift which you need to upgrade using Nexus Infusion. This consumes planar charges, you can always find a Planar Anomoly around the edge of a Hunt rift to refill your charges. There will also be adds to kill, usually 4 of them.
- Stage 2: Waves of invasions will try to attack the Conduit.. Kill them!
- Stage 3: 2 large adds will spawn and then the Herald will spawn. Kill the adds first and then DPS the Herald, he will reach 50% and then go hide.
- Stage 4: More waves of invasions, they will try to get to the middle of the rift to spawn a foothold. Kill them!
- Stage 5: Around 7-10 adds will spawn along with the Herald. Kill the adds first, for every add that is up the Herald will take less damage. When all the adds are dead, kill the Herald to complete the rift.
- At the end of the Hunt Rift there will be a treasure chest in the middle. These contain Essences for level 50-60.
Great Hunt Rifts
Great Hunt rifts were 20 man level 60 content during Storm Legion.
You will require a Raid Tear to open a Great Hunt rift. These are found in Ashora, Steppes, and Dendrome.
Great Hunt rifts have 5 tiers, each getting more difficult as you go up.
In the rift store you can buy Lures for each specific named Great Hunt rift. There is also a Lure that will open a random rift from tier 1-3, and a lure for a random rift from tiers 4 and 5.
All of the Great Hunt rifts are soloable at level 70, however, the higher tier ones can be challenging to manage if you don’t keep on top of the invasions.
The main boss of a great hunt rift is called a Planarch. Planarchs will gain a shield that can only be removed by dragging it near an active turret.
There will be multiple turrets around the rift that you can upgrade using Nexus Infusion.
There will be 1 or 3 Conduits. In higher tiers you will need to successfully defend all 3 Conduits to complete the rift.
