Rift: Patch 1.1 River of Souls World Wide Event
Here's a trailer featuring the star of the event (Can you say "Dominatrix"?) and a link to a podcast focusing on the world event with a Rift employee from the Dungeon and Raid team. Basically the podcast talks about the new raid dungeon River of Souls. There are four main bosses and three mini-bosses (Dark Foci) plus mobs with a higher drop rate than usual. Non-linear and open so you can fight in any order but have to kill every boss to access the final fight with the Dominatrix Alsbeth. Same focus and difficulty (but a bit trickier) as Greenscale although you don't have to have done Greenscale to enter River of Souls.

There's no time released for when this will happen today but the Solo MMO Player is betting around noon Eastern Daylight Saving Time. Here are the items I have collected and published here before.
Trion is planning their first Rift world event for March 30th. Here are some details. It looks like it will last a week, so get ready.

The name of the new raid zone is River of Souls. Apparently unique loot will drop during this "worldwide dynamic conflict." The happening (Patch 1.1) is in alpha now.

Rift: Achievements and Titles
Zam's database has a list of all the achievements available to Rift players. Choose Achievements and then use the drop down menu to pick the type of achievement you want to see.
http://rift.zam.com/
I also found a list of achievement titles that claims to be complete. This list is divided up into Guardian only, Defiant only, Neutral, and Profession titles. "Press C to get to your Character screen, then press the tab for 'Titles'. You can then choose from your current list of titles. Choose one and then click 'use title.'"

Rifts: Bags
Bags in Rift come in various sizes, with the largest bag having 22 slots (unless you bought your game via Steam and got a copy of the 24 slot Collector's Satchel). Here's the best source of information about which bags hold how much, sorted as to whether they are drops, craftable, whether there is a recipe for making it, etc.
http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Bag
Each profession has four skill levels--Novice (1-75?), Skilled (75-150?), Expert (150-225?), and Master (225-300?).
http://www.riftlevelingguide.com/game/professions/gathering/
Levels at which you can craft bags (from the forums--note I've not been able to confirm this information):

"Silken Bag is trained at level 180, and is 14 slots. Spellspun Bag is trained at Outfitter level 280, and is 18 slots. The pattern for Witchweave Bags can be bought from the Outfitter recipe vendor for 318 Artisan Marks, which should take about a week, possibly less, to get, and requires Outfitter 265. And finally there's Spiritweave Bags, epic quality 22-slot bags. The pattern is bought for 4 Outfitter Plaques, which I'm guessing are rewarded for Master rank daily profession quests."

Rift: Guides to the Crafting and Gathering Professions
There are two types of professions in Rift: crafting professions and gathering professions. Here is a general guide to them all with help leveling the professions. First up, gathering (butchery, foraging and mining).
http://www.riftlevelingguide.com/game/professions/gathering/
Now the crafting guide (apothecary, armorsmithing, artificing, outfitting, runecrafting, and weaponsmithing.
http://www.riftlevelingguide.com/game/professions/crafting/
UPDATE: Rift Crafter has a website that will cover all the crafts. It's just now getting started so there's not a lot there yet but the home page talks about the fixes Patch 1.1 will bring to the game.
http://www.riftcrafter.com/tradeskills/
If you want more details about the various crafting and gathering professions, check this series of articles out. Note part three goes over the dailies, the UI, etc.

http://highplanesrifter.com/2011/02/the-beginners-guide-to-crafting-in-rift-part-3-making-it-happen/
From the Favorite Links, don't forget what Telarapedia says about professions (including the highly important chart that shows which gathering and crafting professions compliment each other).
http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Profession
Here are some foraging and mining maps to help you locate items.

The Solo MMO Player has hit the wall leveling in two foraging professions. We read in the forums to head to another zone looking for non-gray items and he discovered that buying some items to craft in combination with his foraged items broke the log jam and enabled him to level a bit higher. If you are stuck leveling a profession, try doing either or both of these things.
http://forums.riftgame.com/archive/index.php/t-98895.html?s=25b09da632721b48ed9e906567ba7c8b
UPDATE: I've found three guides (foraging, butchering and mining) that list some items that go gray at various levels. This may be helpful with the wall crafters and gathers are hitting.

The Solo MMO Player has discovered that the controls are inconsistent across characters. If you push the left button and get the "you aren't trained to use a loom" type message, try the right button.
