Will they unleash a major surprise at the end of the year? I've reserved 88 fragments for December; whether old or new epics will be added is unknown.

Time flies, and November is drawing to a close. The Rift environment is quite quiet, while the international server is boosting its popularity with KIC 2025, an event calendar, and endless rewards. The Chinese server, on the other hand, is focusing on the new season, with frequent updates to the test server. A live stream will be broadcasting the new content for 2025, including matchmaking mechanics, season ownership, battle pass exclusives, themes, and more. December is almost here, and there are no new items yet. Does this scene seem familiar?

Monthly Gift Booklet

Around this time last year, a collaboration with "Detective Conan" appeared out of nowhere, adding rare and legendary quality items. Many people speculated whether there would be another surge in December, with a second wave of production, adding new characters and bringing back two old skins. Not to mention the store, many other sections were actually itching to make a move. How about the monthly gift book? As we all know, it updates once a month, guaranteeing an epic skin every three months. On the 1st of each month, two skins would always return. In November, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie's "Fairy in the Painting" returned, and the other was Dunshan's collaboration with China Aerospace, called "Dream of the Stars," which allowed players to complete tasks, refresh rewards, and draw discounts. Next month, it's going to say goodbye and be replaced by new members. Only the 6 Yuan Dream Epic skin, which has plummeted in price, will remain there.

In addition, there are free rewards. The recent redemption methods are traceable. The official team wants to accelerate the consumption of items. Multiple collaborations have been made. Brave and Epic skins are all placed in the Fragment Shop. Even veteran players who have accumulated many years of experience suddenly feel that there are not enough. With the new month and the new season, it is unknown whether to choose to add new skins or put old Epic skins aside.

Fragment Shop

Similarly, following past patterns, the Fragment Shop typically sees new releases at the end of the year, until mid-year when the tradition breaks and older epic skins are no longer restricted. Several new skins that can be redeemed with fragments are released throughout the year, leaving little market for older skins. In 2019, Mind Warrior was added; in 2020, Mind Hacker; in 2021, Crystal Dragon Hunter; in 2022, Rhythm Heatwave; in 2023, Agent Phantom; and in 2024, the least popular was Moonlit Thoughts. The pattern is clear: each skin appears only once and disappears after December. Who knows which skin will be chosen for 2025? In any case, prepare 88 fragments first.
