Rift's annual celebration, Carnival of the Ascended, will begin on April 14, 2016, as part of v3.6 update. Special events will be taking place including a Carnival Instant Adventure, new Artifact sets, a new story raid rifts, daily quests and much more.
Carnival Instant Adventure: Boglings are running wild and terrorizing the citizens of Tempest Bay. Taking inspiration from some of the Ascended’s greatest enemies, many of these Boglings present a greater challenge than their humble origins might suggest. Battle it out and prevent their rebellion, lest Tempest Bay fall to these malicious malingerers.
