10 Year Census

During the 10 year Rift Anniversary (April 2021), Cadrift ran a survey to gather data towards creating an infographic about the playerbase, and to gain some feedback about the Cadrift site.
Below you will find visual representations of the data collected, as well as some responses to questions and statements that players made.

452 players filled in the survey. The data from these players gives us a general idea of ratios, but be aware the data is not a complete picture of the player population.

We also drew a random name from those that filled out the survey and that player has won a REX, congratulations Kyrien@Faeblight!

Questions and Statements

Which guides would you like Cadrift to cover that are not already here?

Many players asked for quest guides, especially guides for the Saga Questlines. I am currently creating guides for all the questlines in the game, starting with Mathosian zones, this is going to take a long time, I started in February of 2021 and its now May, I have completed 10 of the 45 zone pages so far. I am aiming to be finished with quest guides by the end of 2022!

A lot of players asked for Raid and Dungeon guides – As I go through the zones creating the quest guides I am also writing dungeon cheevo guides for the dungeons in the zones. Raid guides are on the ‘list’.

Also on the ‘list’ are: Chronicles, Crafting, Fishing, Other planar guides, PBN artifacts, Macros, Vostigar Intel Caches, and a Companion Pet guide.

A few players asked for guides in different languages, unfortunately I only speak english! Feel free to rewrite the guides in other languages for your guild/friends. If you write a guide in another language and pop it on the forums or on your own site then I will happily link to it from my resources page.

A lot of players requested guides that already exist.

  • A guide for finding minion cards – The Minion Card Database is linked to from the Resources page.
  • Where to get wardrobe skins from – You can find info about where to get wardrobe skins on the Cadrift Wardrobe Skins page. There are also 2 other databases linked on this page.
  • Guides for which add ons to use – You can find a full list of recommended add ons, and easy set up guides for my 5 most recommended add ons, on the Add ons page.
  • Maze of Steel Quest (last quest in VP) – There is a full guide to the Maze of Steel quest on the Vostigar Peaks questline page.
  • Links to other sites/information – There are many other sites linked to from the Resources page, if you know of one that isn’t listed then please let me know.
