Level 13 - Got To The Guardian Capital And Been Inside "The Sanctum"

Hey guys,

OK, finally up to level 13 and now the quests move to the Guardian Capital City - this is also the first time you get to see "The Sanctum" since the start of the game.

If you remember at level 1 it is where you started and had to run down and out into the starting area?

For those that haven't seen it:



The other thing that happens is the quests REALLY start to branch out!

Up until now you have just had fairly linear quests but in the capital you will see all sorts of quests for leveling that you can do:

Standard quests, dailies and PVP quests.

If you are trying to get to level 50 as quickly as possible this is where a good Rift Leveling guide can really help.

If you are not in a rush then you will have to just make do with trial and error to find the quickest path through the game.

Also what you will see now is that the Rift 1.3 World Event has started!

From the Black Depths is the first phase and by taking part you can get special items in the game.

So you will also be able to start the World Event which is well worth doing!

Also here is my current build at level 13 for the Rogue:



As I say if you want the best builds for all 4 callings and a complete FASTEST path through the game then you should consider checking out Rift Supremacy.

Level 12 - Moving Up...

With limited playtime I am now level 12, which is not bad at all! Also one of the pros of the game is the Rift events but it makes it difficult to concentrate on questing.

You NEED to do the Rift invasions because you get access to some awesome items that you will not find anywhere else.

My build is coming on nicely as well!

Here is some action from the Faery Garden Rift Invasion pretty cool stuff:




Will keep you posted and also have another build to post today...

If you want any builds or anything let me know?

Now up to Level 11 - Got caught up in an Invasion!

Still not a huge amount of progress but it is my fault (again!) - starting questing and am now up to level 11 but got caught up in the middle of an Invasion event and things starting to go wrong.

I got a little bit excited and without thinking ran headlong into battle until I realized that the mobs were level 18!

Well I made a video up showing what happened to me... as you can guess it was not too pretty:



This happened because they were level 18 and also I would of survived a bit better if I joined the public group.

All good though you get some nice drops for taking part in Rifts and Invasions.

So still going - not really going for speed leveling here just enjoying the game.

I best get my skates on though as the game is updating to Rift 1.3 on the 22nd June.

I also made a video of the leveling build that I am using for my Rogue but a couple of you asked for my PVP build - so I decided to make a video of a good PVP build you can use:



If you need a good Rogue PVP build that is a good one to use.

I will upload more builds and stuff but if you are in a hurry you should check out this Rift Builds guide for full set of leveling, raiding and PVP builds for all 4 callings.

That's all for now but rest assured I will be back with more leveling and builds progress...

Level 10 At Last!

Got up to level 10 and took part in my first Rift Invasion which was awesome, if you have played World of Warcraft then this is one of the main things of the game that makes Rift better in my opinion.

Here is my Rift Rogue build so far at level 10:



Also a couple of you have asked what my Rift build will look like at level 50. I decided to make a video up using the Rift Soul Calculator so you can see what it is going to look like:



Let me know what you think of the build and whether you would change anything?

Remember though it is for a solo leveling build.

Will keep you updated of progress...

Day 3 - Level 8 Not Much Progress...

Hey guys,

Not much progress of late but to be fair I have not put as much time as I wanted to in my journey through Telara!

I have dinged level 8 though here is a video of me doing that:



Also you will see that I have a title as well in the video "Dravic the Risen" well this is because I purchased the Collectors Edition of Rift.

Forgot to mention that last time out.

All of the little perks don't really do much to your character in the long run as with a bit of time you can pick most of the stuff up but it DOES help when you are starting out.

Also as we level one of the most important things is the build that you use.

I am soloing pretty much although the public group for Rifts and Invasions is cool.

Here is a video of my Rogue build so far:




It follows the Assassin tree pretty much and is fairly new at the minute as I am only level 9 but hope to mainly follow Assassin.

Another post coming shortly and with my next play time I hope to hit level 10...

That's all for now guys remember to follow me and ask any questions as I go along!

Cheers,

Dravic

Day 2 - Dinging Level 7 Also Showing Off My Bonus Turtle & Boglin!

Hey guys,

So Day 2 not done an awful much due to time constraints but what I HAVE done has been awesome!

First thing I notice about Rift compared to WOW is that it is so much more fast paced.

Well World of Warcraft started off like that ands then when you got to level 20 - 30 there was nothing to do but quest that would be collect this, drop it off here, collect XP rinse and repeat.

OK, so I have ONLY dinging level 7 but that is only with about 40 mins game play!

I am using the Rift Rogue leveling build from Rift Supremacy and it seems to be awesome as I am able to kill level 9 mobs quite easily!

Before I got to level 7 there was an awesome quest called A Dim Dark Eye:

It is actually the final quest for the Guardian Starting zone so make sure that you complete all other quests and hand them in before you complete this one as you are about to be - well I won't ruin it for you but something happens!

Check out the quest here - don't worry I don't ruin the ending:



You then go through to the Forest on the other side but something has happened....

Like I say I won't ruin it!

Not got much time to start this now but will be updating shortly with more!

What I did do however is get the Bogling Wastrel and the Tartagon Turtle mounts as they has still been in my bag.

To get these you need to purchase the Rift Collectors Edition Download and then you will get the benefits above.

Worth doing because you start the game with a 12 slot bag this way.

Will keep you posted but looks like the fun is about to begin!

Here is a video so you can see the Turtle and the Boglin in action:

Day 1 – Started new Rogue and my journey through Telara!

So the journey has started – what I am going to do with this blog is show you my journey through Telara so you can join me or use some of the information for your builds and so on.

At the very start of the game it is nice and easy and the area is just a starting area.
In fact the game reminds me at the start of Wrath of the Lich King at the start in WOW – it has those tall knight enemies.

Unfortunately my computer is in dire need of a graphics update so having to make do at the minute with the graphics being set to really low but that is cool as the framerate is high!

Here’s a pic of me seeing away one of those knights:



The build I am using is actually a build from Rift Supremacy for the Rogue and it is a leveling build so it should speed me thorough!

You can see the start of it here:



Basically it is an Assassin build primarily and then going to keep jumping between Assassin and Bladedancer which will make it awesome for leveling in Rift.
Got to level 5 really fast!

Here I am completing the Brood of Regulos Rift Quest:



Also completing the Fields Ran Red quest as well.

Remember to follow me on Twitter and view my YouTube videos as well to stay updated.
Stay tuned for more as it comes!

My Journey Through Telara

Welcome to my blog.

I have decided to make this blog to show you my leveling through Telara as a Guardian and maybe Defiant as well.

You will be able to see my builds, PVP, raiding all that good stuff but mostly it will be showcasing my leveling through the game.

So stay tuned and bookmark this page if you haven't already and keep an eye out for updates and videos that will showcase me leveling and playing Rift.

Also would love your feedback - if you think that a build I pick is not very good please let me know!

That's all for now but this should be fun!
