Rift: Dailies UPDATED

Rift has daily quests but I'm having trouble finding information on them.  Here is a bit about the Tier 1 and 2 daily quests, including where Defiant and Guardian players pick up the quests.
http://www.riftjunkies.com/tag/daily/

UPDATE:  Rift Zone is building a quest database.  It lists the dailies as well as other types of quests.  It is a work in progress but helpful if you are looking for dailies.
http://www.riftzone.nl/quests

Here is a list of the crafting dailies which are found in the main crafting areas of Meridian or Sanctum.  They are listed by profession and show skill level, the reward and where to turn in the quest.

Here is a guide to the Defiant daily quest in Scarwood Reach.  This may be a crafting quest.

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.
