Groups are able to D2R Items take on Challenge Rifts up to the highest level for any group member, which means there's nothing stopping the player from moving to a greater difficulty if any of their friends has already made it this far. Beware, however, because lower-level players might not be prepared for the risks they'll encounter.

Challenge Rifts monitor the progress of the players who attempt them. They rank one single player to every other solo player, or a four-person team to each other four-person group, and all the way up to. For some players, the leaderboards have a lot to offer, especially in the end-game in which there's nothing else to do outside of PvP and the endless quest for better Gems and equipment.

Doing your best to climb higher on the scoreboard is fine, but at a point in time, when players are still learning all the ropes in Challenge Rifts, the leaderboards are more distracting over anything else. The players shouldn't be concerned about how they stack up against other players.

As the difficulty of the Challenge Rifts grows it also increases their Monster Combat Rating of the creatures within. The higher the MCR, the more vigilant the player has to be when fighting their way across the Challenge Rifts. This is especially relevant for players who have to fight through Challenge Rifts alone.

With a party, there's always a team to fall back on in the event that the player gets dead or the idea is disastrously wrong. In a solo game, there's just you and an army of ravenous monsters. There's no serious penalty for dying within the Challenge Rift, but it's wasted time at best. The more a player can be able to do to cheap D2R Ladder Items maintain their life, the more successful.
