Rift: World Event Email and Vendors UPDATED

The Solo MMO Player has just received his email from Trion with the goodie bag that is distributed to players due to the world event problems.  Unfortunately, he can't turn in his otherworldly sourcestones as the world event vendors have disappeared.

All that are left are a cluster of 10 or so players standing staring at the place where the vendors used to be.

Classic.

UPDATE :  The Solo MMO Player found a Defiant World Event Vendor on  April 30 - Go into Manufactory crafting area, take the ramp up on the left.  Go through the door immediately on the left which takes you to the College of Planar Studies.  The vendor Boularna is standing right in front of you.

Rift: Rogue Tanks at Level 50

Here is a tanking build for the level 50 rogue.

More rogue tank information.
http://rift.ign.com/articles/reviews/7217/Sprawls-Scrawl-Riftstalker-Rogue-Tanking-in-RIFT

Here's an explanation of "rogue tanking" for those who think the term is an oxymoron.  There are builds and a bit of theory crafting as well.
http://www.progamercity.net/rift-guides/1307-guide-rift-riftstalker-tanking-explanation-beginners.html

By the way, the little testing that the Solo MMO Player did on a rogue tank build doesn't work well.  This wasn't tested completely but there seem to be problems, perhaps because these things were worked out on beta releases.

Recipes and where to buy them plus information about transmuting components.

Apparently there are a lot of flaws in how runecrafting works.

Rift: Nailing Those Bags Down

If you are having trouble with your bags floating all over your screen, Detill5869 explains how to lock them into position.  Basically, open the Settings Tab and then hit Edit Layout.  Move your bags to where you want them to be, then save the layout.  When you return to the game the bags seem to stay put.  (However, it looks as if the bags start floating again if you log out of the character.)  Many thanks to Detill5869 for telling us how to fix this minor irritation.
