CHARACTER TRANSFERS * Instance lockouts are now transferred with characters. However, two players that were previously grouped for an incomplete instance will not be able to continue it once they have moved, as each character will receive their own copy of the instance.
GENERAL * Fixed the main map appearing all black when zoomed out on certain hardware. * Warfronts: Allow mixed Warfronts to start with solos, duos, and premade groups after a number of non-premade matches are started. This should help with the extra long wait times for premade groups on some shards.
ZONES * Beefed up the NPC support of the Freemarch and Silverwood zone events.
MATHOSIA * Weakened Ward: Now drops quest items for all members of a group.

When you play Rift you have to select your three souls. They become the base for all of the abilities your character has. You have one main soul and then two secondary souls which are just used for starter abilities in most cases. I am going to talk about strictly the Mage souls in this Rift Mage builds guide.If you are interested, do see the guide for more information on Mage Builds!
