Levels 1-10: Seriously, wear anything.
Levels 10-20: The most essential stuff comes out of the low instances and
are generally levels 16-20. Here are some highlights:
WEAPONS:
Assassin's Blade
One-Hand Dagger, 1.9 Speed
20-39 Damage (15.5 DPS)
+3 Strength
+4 Agility
Requires Level 19
Found: Shadowfang Keep
Comment: Not a bad choice, but somewhat difficult to get. Grab it up
if you can't find anything else as a Hordie.
Doomspike
One-Hand Dagger, 1.5 Speed
17-32 Damage (16.3 DPS)
+3 Strength
+3 Stamina
Requires Level 20
Found: Blackfathom Deeps
Comment: Useful if you can't find anything else. High speed and low damage
range makes it a much better offhand than main hand weapon, and if you're
getting this, you're probably Alliance. Get at least one Cruel Barb
instead, if at all possible.
Wingblade
Main Hand Sword, 2.2 Speed
24-45 Damage (15.7 DPS)
+5 Agility
+2 Stamina
Requires Level 18
Found: Quest reward, Leaders of the Fang, Wailing Caverns (Horde)
Comment: Simply the best sword you can get at this level, Horde or otherwise.
Since it's a quest reward, you have no excuse not to get this, so make
sure you complete the chain before running Wailing Caverns.
Cruel Barb
One-Hand Sword, 2.8 Speed
30-57 Damage (15.5 DPS)
Equip: +12 Attack Power
Requires Level 19
Found: Edwin VanCleef, Deadmines
Comment: An awesome weapon. VanCleef has great loot in general, so
almost anything he drops you can use. If you can get two of these, so
much the better.
ARMOR:
Tunic of Westfall
Chest
92 Armor
+11 Agility
+5 Stamina
Requires Level 14
Found: Quest reward, The Defias Brotherhood (Part 2), Westfall (Alliance)
Comment: Ridiculously easy to get for its mods. All you have to do is
finish the chain and kill VanCleef, which is easy enough. If you find
the Blackened Defias Armor, it's probably a little bit better, but it
comes down to personal preference. No Alliance Rogue should be wearing
a chestpiece worse than this after clearing The Deadmines.
Glowing Lizardscale Cloak
Back
20 Armor
+6 Agility
+2 Spirit
Requires Level 17
Found: Skum, Wailing Caverns
Comment: Somewhat of a poor man's Cape of the Brotherhood, this one will
none the less do the job, especially for you Hordies, so get it if you can.
Leggings of the Fang
Legs
79 Armor
+5 Strength
+9 Agility
+4 Stamina
Requires Level 18
Found: Lord Cobrahn, Wailing Caverns
Comment: Great mods all around for the level. You'd never wear the full set
in a million years as a Rogue, but you really can't go wrong with these
leggings! Unfortunately, it's the only drop that's particularly noteworthy
from him, with the possible exception of the Pattern for Dark Leather Tunic,
which really isn't that good either.
Deviate Scale Belt
Waist
51 Armor
+5 Agility
+6 Stamina
+3 Spirit
Requires Level 18
Found: Quest reward, Deviate Eradication, Wailing Caverns
Comment: It does take a bunch of Deviate and Perfect Deviate Scales to make,
but if you can snag this belt, get it by all means. It will last you
for quite some time. It might be a little out of the way for an Alliance
Rogue, though, so keep that in mind.
Blackened Defias Armor
Chest
92 Armor
+4 Strength
+3 Agility
+11 Stamina
Requires Level 19
Found: Edwin VanCleef, Deadmines
Comment: Another awesome drop off VC. It should be noted that this is part
of a set, but you don't have to bother gathering up the other items if you
don't want to: this is the only piece that will last you for a while. I
personally prefer it over the Tunic of Westfall due to the Stamina bonuses,
but in all honesty, it's up to you. You should grab this up anyway.
Feet of the Lynx
Feet
63 Armor
+3 Strength
+8 Agility
Requires Level 19
Found: Random drop in Duskwood, The Stockades, Redridge Mountains, Wetlands,
probably other places too of similar levels
Comment: These add to your damage nicely. Unfortunately, you're relying on
getting these from a random drop in the world, so don't count on getting it.
If you really want it, try an Auction House.
Sentry Cloak
Back
21 Armor
+4 Agility
+5 Stamina
Requires Level 19
Found: Random drop, Stonetalon Mountains, Hillsbrad Foothills, Shadowfang
Keep, Wetlands, probably other similar level zones
Comment: Like Feet of the Lynx, you're probably better off finding this on
the Auction House if you really want it. On the off chance you do get it,
don't be afraid to auction it yourself: drops like this can sell for quite
a bit of gold, so don't overlook it.
Cape of the Brotherhood
Back
21 Armor
+6 Agility
+3 Stamina
Requires Level 20
Found: Edwin VanCleef, Deadmines
Comment: Yet another ridiculously good drop off VanCleef. As a Rogue, you
should get at least one of the three awesome blues he drops. If you can,
try for all three! Again, this cloak can last you for quite some time, so
don't pass it up if you can help it!
Seal of Sylvanas
Finger
+3 Strength
+8 Stamina
Requires Level 18
Found: Quest Reward, Arugal Must Die, Shadowfang Keep (Horde)
Comment: A pretty easy to get ring that will last you for quite a while. If
you play on the Horde, you should be clearing SFK anyway, so make sure you
pick this ring up. Arugal himself is no slouch though, so make sure you
have a decent group with you.
Ring of Precision (Unique)
Finger
+6 Agility
+3 Spirit
Requires Level 20
Found: Random drop, Blackfathom Deeps
Comment: Well...it's a ring, and it's better than any greens you could get
at that level. Since it's BoE, if you want, you could probably get away
with auctioning it off: people have been quoted as paying 25-30g(!) for it.
Levels 20-30: At these levels, there are more good daggers than swords, so
keep that in mind when it comes to outfitting your character. That will
change shortly, but don't be afraid to get a dagger to help you along, if
not for your main hand, your offhand.
WEAPONS:
Prison Shank
One-Hand Dagger, 1.8 Speed
21-39 Damage (16.7 DPS)
+5 Agility
+2 Stamina
Requires Level 21
Found: Bruegal Ironknuckle (Rare spawn), The Stockade
Comment: A nifty little dagger with a cool name. Speed could still stand
to be slower, but it's not a bad offhand. However, the rare spawns in
The Stockade are pretty rare, so don't hold your breath for getting one.
Talon of Vultros (Unique)
One-Hand Dagger, 2.0 Speed
23-44 Damage (16.8 DPS)
+5 Agility
+2 Spirit
Requires Level 21
Found: Vultros (Rare spawn), Westfall
Comment: Now this is more like it. It's slow enough to be worth considering
as your main hand weapon until you find something better. Unfortunately,
you are relying on rare spawns once again, but hey, one can dream.
Toxic Revenger (Unique)
One-Hand Dagger, 1.9 Speed
27-51 Damage (20.5 DPS)
Chance on hit: Deals 5 Nature Damage every 5 seconds to any enemy in an
8 yard radius for a total of 15 seconds.
Requires Level 27
Found: Viscous Fallout, Gnomeregan
Comment: Another very nice dagger with a decent AoE. The only problem
with said AoE is that you shouldn't be fighting multiple mobs very often,
but in an instance where single pulls aren't possible, it's nice to add
a little bit more damage with no extra effort on your part. Especially
for a dagger, the top end damage is decent.
Swinetusk Shank (Unique)
One-Hand Dagger, 1.5 Speed
24-45 Damage (23.0 DPS)
+6 Stamina
+4 Spirit
Requires Level 30
Found: Agathelos the Raging, Razorfen Kraul
Comment: A little fast to be a main hand, it is nonetheless a powerful and
reliable offhand, and if you're on the Horde, it's definitely not out of your
way to get, so consider running RFK a few times in the hopes of snagging
this dagger.
The Black Knight
Main Hand Sword, 1.9 Speed
26-49 Damage (19.7 DPS)
Chance on hit: Sends a shadowy bolt at the enemy causing 34 to 35 Shadow
Damage.
Requires Level 26
Found: Random drop, Duskwood, Hillsbrad Foothills, Thousand Needles,
Arathi Highlands, etc
Comment: Easier to buy then get, but expect it to cost you. All in all,
a nice little weapon, with the only quirk that it can only be equipped in
your main hand and that it doesn't have stats.
The Butcher
Main Hand Sword, 2.8 Speed
38-72 Damage (19.6 DPS)
+5 Agility
+4 Stamina
Requires Level 26
