Rift Defiant Leveling Guide

Defiant players start their adventure in Terminus. You'll be leveling there for some time (about till level 7), after which you'll move on to Freemarch. In Freemarch you'll also visit your capital city as well as gain access to your first instance, Iron Tombs. Capital city for the Guardians is Sanctum, and for Defiants Meridian. The Rifts that spawn here are Fire and Life. You'll be leveling in Freemarch until 17-20.

If you are a fan of the popular and recently released game Rift then no doubt you know a small bit about it. There's main factions in this game, The Defiant and The Guardian, and irrespective of which you picked you'll must level up. There were historicallyin the past released Guardian leveling guides, but a recent addition is a leveling guide for the Defiant faction which you may require to check out if you are playing this faction.

After that you will move to a zone caled Stonefield. It is wise not to come in to this zone before you are level twenty at least or you will have trouble finishing quests and killing monsters. Stonefield has Earth and Death rifts spawning throughout the zone, as well as the Deepstrike Mines instance to keep you occupied. This zone is also fascinating due to several puzzles which have excellent rewards.

After Terminus and Stonefield you'll finally be in Scarlet Gorge in which the members of other faction are leveling up as well. That means you'll require to watch your back on a regular basis if you are on a PvP server or else you can get ganked. Scarlet Gorge is separated in to zones though: the Defiants are on the south side and the Guardians on the North. Scarlet Gorge has mostly Fire rifts, and contains an fascinating dungeon called Foul Cascade. Make positive you are at least level 32 before you move out of this zone or else you will have trouble with quests and mobs. Participate in some invasions, do your every day Warfront quest and clear out the dungeons more time if you are missing experience. The more levels before you reach the next zone the simpler and faster you'll level up.

After Foul Cascade you'll move on to Scarwood Reach. It is populated by Life rifts mostly and it also has a dungeon called King's Breach. Additional puzzles can be found here as well which I recommend finishing for respectable experience and item rewards. Try not to move out of Scarwood Reach before you hit at least level 35. As before make positive you do dungeons, warfronts and rifts if you are out of quests and require more experience, although in case you followed my earlier advice it should not be an issue.

Next area is Moonshade Highlands, where you'll find the Runic Descent dungeon. You ought to gain level 42 here, after which you'll move on to Droughtlands which has the Lantern Hook instance and is designed up to level 46.

Three times you reach the current level cap of 50, you'll have numerous options. You can participate in more rifts and invasions, battle in warfronts against other players, gank lowbies, work on your professions, do some instances and raiding and more. Reaching the level cap as quickly as feasible is important since the actual game begins at 50.
