Do I need any DLC to enjoy?

[Heraculas]

There seems to be quite some DLC packages for the game that provide different things...Is it pay to win?
I noticed that some of them provide different specs for different classes?!
Whats up?

Nope, you can enjoy the full game without them. Try the game out, decide if you like it, and if you plan to keep playing I recommend the soul packs.

The soul packs add more versatility to the classes, for example the Dream Soul pack adds talent/soul trees for warrior or rogue healing, and mage tanking.

I'd say none of the packages on the steam store can be considered pay to win, and anything that can be bought by cash via in-game store can also be reasonably acquired in game too. You could say that the game is balanced well enough that p2w or not is a matter of opinion for us to debate on steam when we're bored.

Hmmm ok I will try it out again.

i enjoyed rift without dlc for 7 months, and then i did end up getting the typhoon edition (for the earring slots). i am still enjoying it without the bigger packs though :)

The cheapest DLC package that gets you 2 more bag slots and 4 more character slots + instant access to posting stuff on AH is worth it WHEN it goes on sale.

I played to max level as a F2P player, it was ok but there were some frustrating moments, buying the cheapest DLC also gets you a 110% speed mount, from Loyalty bonus, on all your characters from level 1.

The Dream and Storm Soul packages get you extra specialisations for all classes. They aren't required but they do give you more options. Though personally I think they are heavily overpriced at 20$+

Look for a cheap Rift Ultimate Edition Game Box online, same content but much cheaper then the Classic Collector's Pack from Steam.

The same goes for the Storm Legion Souls, you can still find The Storm Legion Expansion Box somewhere online for also nearly the half price of SL Souls Pack from Steam or from the Rift Shop.

The Dream Souls are also available from the Rift Store, or somewhere online as code, but they are expensive through either way... unless you save up plat., buy REX ingame with it, and then use the REX to buy the Dream Souls.

The best way to start into Rift, was the Laethys Fortune Pack, when it was on sale... but with the prices up again, i would rather recommend as mentioned before,
+ a cheap Rift Ultimate Edition Game Box
+ the Nightmare Tide Typhoon Edition
for a good start into Rift.

Buy the extra souls, they surpass the free souls in PVP/RAIDS/LEVELING. But the free souls is still viable, but won't be your top specs.

[Wolverine]

You can play Rift without the additional new souls just fine.

If you want to go into PvP, raids or level a bit faster, it would be much better to go for a Nightmare Tide Edition and perhaps more subscription time...

Not p2w at all. If you're casual you will lose nothing at all with free play. If you're a serios player and plan to be on hundreds of hours and use everything then dropping some money will provide much better QoL and faster progress, saving much of your time to actual "play".

Recerntly there was a massive sale, -75% to -50, not sure if still available, collector ed for 10 instead of 40 is quite a no-brainer to get.

if you trust a long stay and plan to try out many different characters and play styles then the lucky pack for ~40 instead of ~150 that includes all the extra souls is even better.

The bugger NT pack was also sold for the price of the basic typhoon ed.

The content of each pack is well described, if you lay a little you will see if the content iss relevant to you or not really. Make sure you see distinction of character and account upgrades.

If you buy enthing you also get goodies from the gained 'loality' as extra.
