Rift Mining Guide
This Rift mining Leveling Guide helps beginners to advanced players level their Mining from 1-450 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)

If you're Defiant - in Stonefield kill and Mine the rock creatures (Earthmauls and Lithics) inside the blue arrows below. It's much, much faster to mass pwn and Mine. You should also find some Iron along the black arrow path as well.
