New players in Rift might be a little confused on what is the best leveling path in Rift. This Beginners Rift leveling guide should help to explain some of the many options available to gain experience in Rift.

As a beginner in Rift you should first start by taking a look at your map. This can tell you all sorts of information about where you are and what types of things there are to do around you. Check your map and find out which icons are rifts, rift invasions, and quests. These activities will help you gain experience.

When you first enter world with your new Rift character you will be surrounded by a number of activities to do. These mini quests are part of the tutorial and will help you understand the workings of the game. You should always do these quests as they will lead you to your first major quests. Upon completion of a quest you will gain a great deal of experience. The advantage to doing quests is that you will most likely also be killing creatures while completing them which also gives you experience.

Another great way to gain experience in Rift is by participating in closing Rifts and Rift invasions. Rifts and Rift Invasions will randomly pop up in different spots on the map. The really neat thing is they will sometimes pop up around where you are questing in Rift. You can quickly join up with the group already there killing it or start the encounter yourself. This is a great burst of experience from quickly killing mobs and by completing the closing or warding off the invasions.

Closing Rifts and doing Quests can also be a great way to get gear upgrades. Beginners in Rift may not understand the importance of keeping up with their gear. It can be very easy to out level your gear. You may start to notice this if your character becomes increasingly harder to play. If you are having trouble soloing mobs of your level you may want to take a look at your gear.

After trying a few of the tips in this beginners Rift leveling guide you should be moving along a quest path. This is where quests link up and move you from one area to another. A list of Rift leveling zones is a good idea to have around in case you get off track or aren’t sure where to go next. More advanced Rift leveling guides should also give you more information on advancing your class traits.
