Rift Power Leveling Tips

There are several main ways you can level up your character in Rift. Below I'll list each one and provide you with my own impressions on how effective each rift power leveling  is.
The best ways you can currently get experience in Rift are: quests, instances, PvP, rifts and grinding. Each of these has its pros and cons, and it's likely you will be combining all these ways to level up in order to reach the level cap, which is currently set to level 50.


Quests
Rift Leveling up is done primarily through quests. Quests are given to players from a variety of NPCs (non-player characters) which can be found throughout the world of Telara (the world in which Rift is set).
Even though you could technically level up without doing many quests, typically it's the simplest and fastest way. In addition to experience, by doing quests you will also gain equipment (weapons and other items) which are used to increase your characters fighting power.
The downside to doing quests is that you can often run out of them. Even though there are many, if you focus on questing all the time you will have to resort to other Rift leveling methods as you will soon get quests which are hard to complete due to the level difference. Additionally, while quests can be easy to find, they are not the fastest or most effective way of leveling up, but they are convenient.
Rifts
One of the main selling points of this great game are rifts. Rifts are NPC invasions in Telara: every now and then a rift will open up in some areas from which various monsters will come through. You will have a hard (if not impossible) time defeating them on your own, but that's why there's always several other players in the vicinity with whom you close down the rifts and prevent invasions.
Zone-wide rift events / invasions are announced in your chat window. When they happen (typically every two hours) an entire zone will be flooded with enemy monsters, and players have to work together in order to defeat them and close the rifts. After you're done clearing the weaker mobs, a boss will spawn which has to be killed. Be sure to participate in as many monster killings and rift closures as possible and especially the final boss fights, as the rewards are given depending on how much you personally contributed to the fights (damage and healing). You can find where the boss is by opening up your map and looking at the tooltips of each invasion points.

When you finally fend off this zone-wide invasion, you may get up to one level worth of experience points, and typically it doesn't last much longer than 30 minutes. It's a quick and easy way to level up, and most importantly it's fun.


PvP
PvP, or player versus player combat in Rift is very dynamic and most players find it fun. Even though some avoid it entirely, it does help with Rift leveling greatly, and outsmarting other players is always fun in any game.
Aside from world PvP, the main way to fight other players is in Warfronts. Warfronts are instances battlegrounds in which players can fight the other faction, but most importantly complete Warfront-specific objectives (such as capturing the flag or holding specific key-points for a set period of time).
You get a daily PvP quest (meaning you can complete it only once in about 23 hours), in addition to other one-time PvP quests. The daily quests are an excellent source of experience and some much needed Favor, which is used to purchase equipment.
Even if you dislike PvP combat, I suggest you try doing it at least once per day. You will learn a lot about other classes and how to play together with them, and get really good rewards in the process. Most importantly, you get a decent amount of experience which will contribute to your faster Rift powerleveling.
