Contribution in Rift: Invasions, Rifts, Footholds and other events

rift

All of these events in Rift have a contribution meter. How exactly is contribution calculated for these? Furthermore, what might be the best way to maximize contribution per event?

Some rifts I noticed I don't contribute as much as other rifts but I feel like i'm doing the same thing.

Currently, no one really knows the EXACT quantification of contribution as it relates to events. A few solid facts are known, however:

  • Contribution is gained for each action taken.
  • Contribution scales based on the presumed length of an event - the Unstable Stages of a major rift will give less contribution per action than the first stage of a level 7 minor Rift.
  • Number of targets matters. A Bard using Motif of Bravery on 25 raid members will give more contribution than channeling Cadence upon one target.
