  <entry><title>The Forge, the Goblin Cell and a faster site</title><link href="https://riftspinner.com/updates.html"/><id>https://riftspinner.com/updates.html#the-forge-the-goblin-cell-and-a-faster-site</id><updated>2026-10-07T00:00:00Z</updated><summary type="html">&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A rare &lt;b&gt;forge&lt;/b&gt; can light on the map: spend ash to upgrade every weapon you carry up to +5.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A very rare &lt;b&gt;goblin cell&lt;/b&gt; drifts by. It never attacks, flees when hit and dissolves after 10 seconds without a hit. It pays a big pile of ash, experience and a guaranteed rare-or-better item.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The site now loads faster and no longer shifts around while loading. Fonts are hosted on the site itself, so no request goes to Google Fonts.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New guides: controls, special events and Rift II, plus this update log and a guides index.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</summary></entry>
  <entry><title>Fix: silver and gold mission rewards</title><link href="https://riftspinner.com/updates.html"/><id>https://riftspinner.com/updates.html#fix-silver-and-gold-mission-rewards</id><updated>2026-10-07T00:00:00Z</updated><summary type="html">&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixed a crash that could happen after finishing a silver or gold mission and picking up the power-up it dropped. A broken pickup can no longer freeze the game.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</summary></entry>

They find melee weapons instead of guns.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A random &lt;b&gt;daily task&lt;/b&gt; on the main screen that pays ash, with a streak bonus.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The in-game briefing was rewritten and now shows your own key bindings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A &lt;b&gt;Reset account&lt;/b&gt; option with a typed confirmation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Enemies can no longer poison you: a Spitter&#x27;s glob damages you once on impact and nothing keeps ticking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Barrels come in small and large sizes, with a bigger, better-looking blast and fire.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</summary></entry>
