KFGuides for Rift

KFG is a very good guide in my opinion, boasts a server first on Byriel with a total played time of 2 days 20hours.  They have an expert dungeon guide coming soon which I’m looking forward to checking out.

They have a few freebies on the site: Guide for beginners, Dungeon guide (non expert  ), Warfront Guide and a Puzzle Guide (yes Rift has in-game puzzles).

Price:$29.95
