Rifter's Defiant Level Guide Chapter III (10-16)

Welcome to Kelari Refuge!

We're going to be making the move around Freemarch and into the main city of Meridian on this trek.

We'll get our first look at a Porticulum (portal) for moving around faster. We'll also start doing quests that give Shoulders and Helms as rewards!

Finally we'll be heading into Meridian the main defiant city where you can auction items, use the bank and start learning new souls and check out more options for PVP.

So lets get to it!

Simple Rules

• Spend your Soul points in DPS talents throughout this guide at each level up.
• Ensure you learn your next level talents at your Class Trainer.
• Sell Junk at any Vendor you see.
• Keep an eye out for books and artifacts in buildings or laying on the ground.
• Take all quests in order they are mentioned as some quests wont be available until you hand in a particular quest to unlock it.
• Try to participate in at least 2-3 Rifts or PVP per level to help break up the questing and gain a little extra exp and planarite. If you get involved in an Event, you can quite easily gain a level very quickly doing multiple rifts.
• You will come across quests that aren't included.. this is because they are either class or racial quests. By all means take them and do them. Just look at the guide a few steps forward to see if it takes you there anyways and do the quest with the guide.
• Enjoy the scenery & have fun!
