- **added** — Delete button is now available for all mails in your in-game mailbox, excluding auction mails
- **added** — Summer Splash Surfboard mount has been added

Here is a list of fixes and changes from the July 28, 2026 update.

**Mail Delete Function**

– The delete button is now available for all mails currently in your in-game mailbox.
_( The button is now available for almost any mail currently in your mailbox, excluding auction mails.
For any mail that is related to a purchase error, we highly recommend not deleting the mail if you are currently in contact with Customer Support for a purchase issue.
Please note: Any item attached to the mail will be lost and cannot be recovered. Please delete mails with caution.)_

**Battle Pass **

– The upcoming Battle Pass has been scheduled.
For more information, please check the official website post.

**Bug / Fixes **

– Resolved an issue where the Pathfinder wardrobe set wasn’t correctly unlocked once acquired.
_( Once the Pathfinder set was acquired, it was unlocking the Harrowing wardrobe set; the Pathfinder bundle was therefore removed and replaced with the Harrowing bundle.
To acquire items identical to the Pathfinder set, please check the Skulking set; it is vastly the same.)_

– The following items have seen their functionality adjusted:

1. Mad Doctor’s Syringe
2. Empowered Mad Doctor’s Syringe

Removed the ability to polymorph other players.
The trinkets can now only polymorph the caster.

_( This change is due to reports of continued harassment, where a player is forced into a state they didn’t wish to be in.)_

**New Mount**

– The “Summer Splash Surfboard” has been added.

We thank you for your continued support.
Your RIFT Team.
