This may be old news to most of you but if you have not looked for these old cairns (burial places), you should give it a shot. You will receive a dusty sack which when opened reveals a piece of armor that you can usually use right away. Most of the armor I have found have been blue or purple items. There is one cairn in each zone and the item found will match the level of that zone. So check it out if you have the time and willingness to climb to the highest mountains.
And if you want to know where they are... you can click here. But yeah highest mountains are fun to find.

I love the Cairns!!! Puzzles too!!!
Not intended as a spoiler, but if you want to maximize the rewards from cairns and puzzles, here's a quick overview: The reward will always be useable (albeit not necessarily useful) for your calling (your role is a different matter). Mostly armor pieces, but I've gotten weapon drops as well. The item can be anything green to purple, but blue's are most common and purples drop more than green (at least in my limited experience). The cairns/puzzles in a given zone have a level "cap." If you do them more than 1-2 levels below the cap, you'll get an item at your present lower level; if you wait till past the cap, the level does not go up (hmm...that's why it's a cap, I guess 8p). Level 30 gear (lowest cap): Silverwood, Freemarch, Lake of Solace (yes, actually in the lake, hooray for waterbreathing necks) - 13 cairns, puzzles, treasure chests total (if I can count, which isn't a given). Level 35 gear: Gloamwood, Stonefield, Scarlet Gorge - 7 items (2 cairns in Stonefield). Level 40 gear: Scarwood - 2 items. Level 45 gear: Moonshade (OMG bring a buddy to the puzzle), Droughtlands - 4 items. Level 50 gear: IPP, Shimmersands, Stillmoor (bring a buddy to this puzzle too imo) - 6 items. As you can see, couple these with Rare Planar goods gear and dungeon drops as you level and you'll be mostly Blue/Purple all the way from 30 to 50.
I have some awesome plate gear on my noobie warrior now! He is at 5k hps at level 36 =D I have found all the Cairns except the one above Meridian in Stonefield. I could not get up the cliff! I tried both routes, one from the side of Meridian and one from Stonefield. No luck. That one is really tough. I have all the puzzles done except the Moonshade puzzle. We should get a crew of us some evening and get the achievement for everyone.
That sounds like fun to me. I like to do these as a break from all the other stuff. I do not know If I have found the one above Meridian. I found one in Stonefield but it is close to Granite Falls (I think). I believe that one is right above the puzzle in Stonefield. Memory is such a faulty thing sometimes.
Here ya go :) http://www.kfguides.com/rift/puzzlesguide.php
