One of the questions I often see asked on Rift forums are about the usefulness of leveling guides. While it sure is a valid question, some players frequently flame others for asking it thinking these guides are only for absolute beginners in the game.

However that's completely untrue. I've read several Rift leveling guides, and I can safely say these guides are useful to both beginners and even advanced players. The content usually found in these leveling guides is not limited to quests and such, but rather they contain a full range of quality strategies and information about the game which is usually a lot better than anything else you can find for free.

The only downside I see to using Rift leveling guides is that they are in fact not free, but considering the amount of time authors put into writing them, and the wealth of info you're getting from reading these guides it's definitely worth getting one.
