Rift Mining Guide

This Rift mining Leveling Guide helps beginners to advanced players level their Mining from 1-375 in the most efficient manner.  

 

Mining Tips:

• Armorsmithing, Artificing and Weaponsmithing all need ore; hence, Mining works well with either of those.
• Use "Track Ore" that you learned from the Mining Trainer when you first learned Mining.
• Smelt! Level by Smelting!
• Use a Leveling Guide if you're still leveling.
• Mine the Rock Elementals too!
• Below the Mining maps check out:
  • Mining skill requirements (what you can Mine at each level and where to get it)
  • Mining Training Schedule
  • List of all the Mining Trainers (where they are located and what they teach you)
