Found: Random drop, Scarlet Monastery Comment: Hard to get, but a very, very good sword. It has both a nice top end damage and decent stats to complement the cool name and art. That said, you can run Scarlet Monastery dozens of times and not see this sword drop, so count your lucky stars if you land one.
Nightstalker Bow Bow, 1.7 Speed 19-36 Damage (16.2 DPS) +3 Agility Requires Level 27 Found: Blind Hunter (Rare Spawn), Razorfen Kraul Comment: Sure, throwing weapons are cheaper and do comparable damage at lower levels, but you should really be using bows and guns as soon as possible anyway, since training such weapons at higher levels is tedious at best and frustrating at worse, since you'll never get more than a couple of shots on a mob each combat before it jumps into melee with you. If you can find this, more power to you. Stats on ranged weapons are very excellent finds.
ARMOR:
Toughened Leather Gloves Hands 61 Armor +6 Agility +3 Stamina +6 Spirit Requires Level 22 Found: Profession Trainer, 135 Skill, Leatherworking Comment: Like the Triprunner Dungarees, these too will last you a while. If you're not a Leatherworker, look to spend somewhere between 3 and 6 gold, on average, for these. Even if you are a Leatherworker, you'll still need to buy or trade for two Elixirs of Defense, which are more expensive than they should be. Regardless, do whatever it takes to either buy or make these gloves.
Harbinger Boots Feet 71 Armor +2 Strength +11 Stamina +3 Spirit Requires Level 25 Found: Random drop, Scarlet Monastery Comment: It may not have Agility bonuses, but the Stamina bonus is excellent and makes these boots pretty useful to have. Again, they're not the most common of drops, so make the most of the opportunity if it does drop, or try to find a bargain on the Auction House. Sure, they're probably better for Druids, but who cares?
Mantle of Thieves Shoulder 77 Armor +10 Agility +4 Stamina +3 Spirit Requires Level 25 Found: Random drop, Razorfen Kraul Comment: An AWESOME grab for your shoulders. Get your hands on it and it will easily last you into the 30s.
Petrolspill Leggings Legs 90 Armor +14 Agility +6 Stamina Requires Level 25 "Keep away from fire." Found: Random drop, Gnomeregan Comment: Yeah, they're blue. Yeah, they have a nice Agility bonus. But yeah, they also kind of suck! Why mention it, you ask? See if you can sell it in the Auction House, then look two entries down for the reason why...
Troll's Bane Leggings Legs 90 Armor +14 Agility +4 Stamina +4 Spirit Requires Level 25 Found: Random drop, Gnomeregan, Duskwood, Desolace, Stranglethorn Vale, etc. Comment: Is there an echo in the building? See if you can find a gullible buyer, and look at the next entry for the reason why...
Triprunner Dungarees Legs 101 Armor +3 Strength +18 Agility +6 Stamina Requires Level 25 Found: Quest reward, The Grand Betrayal (Alliance), Rig Wars (Horde), Gnomeregan Comment: So now do you see why Petrospill Leggins and Troll's Bane Leggings suck? These leggings will last you seemingly forever. There is NO excuse not to run through Gnomeregan at least once to get them. None, whatsoever. Get them, slap an Armor Kit on these and you're set for a while.
Forest Tracker Epaulets Shoulder 78 Armor +5 Strength +11 Agility Requires Level 26 Found: Random drop, Wetlands, Thousand Needles, Desolace, Arathi Highlands, so on and so forth Comment: These will find you before you find them. Be prepared to spend 10g, at least, if you want to buy these off an Auction House.
Barbaric Bracers Wrist 47 Armor +4 Agility +6 Stamina +4 Spirit Requires Level 27 Found: Leatherworking Supplies Vendor (Rare), 155 Skill, Leatherworking Comment: There aren't that many good wrist armors at low levels, so take these if you can get them. They're a little bit annoying to make, so either prepare to invest a bunch of time or hope you get lucky in the Auction House.
Emissary Cuffs of Agility, of the Monkey Wrist 47 Armor +5 Arcane Resistance <Random enchantment> Requires Level 28 Found: Dark Iron Ambassador (Rare), Gnomeregan Comment: Okay, so there is another good wrist armor at low levels. The problem is that it's on a rare spawn, and that it has a random enchantment on it. "Of Agility" will add +8 Agility to the Arcane Resistance, and "of the Monkey" will add +5 to +6 Agility and Stamina to the item. If you get any other mods on it, it's not going to be worth your time.
Tigerstrike Mantle Back 25 Armor +8 Agility +7 Stamina Requires Level 29 Found: Random drop, Stranglethorn Vale, Desolace, Scarlet Monastery, and so on and so forth Comment: I actually got this from a locked chest in Scarlet Monastery. It's like a souped-up version of the Cape of the Brotherhood.
Unearthed Bands of Agility, of the Monkey Wrist 49 Armor <Random enchantment> Equip: +8 Attack Power Requires Level 30 Found: Random drop, Uldaman Comment: One of a great many awesome Uldaman drops. "Of Agility" will net you +9 or +10 Agility, while "of the Monkey" will give +6 to both Agility and Stamina. If you don't get the Emissary Cuffs, these are a fine replacement.
Ebon Vise Hands 70 Armor +4 Strength +6 Agility +8 Stamina Requires Level 30 Found: Fallen Champion (Rare), Scarlet Monastery Comment: You can find this guy in the graveyard portion of Scarlet Monastery. I've heard his spawn rate is anywhere from 0.2% to 10%. Since I've never seen him, I'd believe the former over the latter. Even if he does spawn, the drop rate for these gloves is less than half, according to Thottbot. Good luck finding them.
Seal of Wrynn Finger +3 Strength +3 Agility +4 Stamina +4 Intellect +3 Spirit Requires Level I don't Know, 20s I think Found: Quest reward, end of the Unsent Letter chain (Alliance) Comment: Be glad if you're just getting this ring after the 1.9 patch, because this ring used to suck horribly. As it is, it's pretty decent, though the quest chain is rather long and involves you going through The Stockades. Then again, you should have done that anyway, so there you go.
Ironspine's Eye (Unique) Finger +4 Strength +9 Agility Requires Level 30 Found: Ironspine (Rare), Scarlet Monastery Comment: Ouch! My eye! Ironspine drops great loot, so make sure you drop him whenever you see him, which isn't often!
Kaleidoscope Chain Neck +4 Strength +4 Agility +4 Stamina +4 Intellect +4 Spirit Requires Level 30 Found: Random drop, Level 33+ mobs Comment: A broad range of stats makes everyone happy. However, it's usually priced insanely high in the Auction House, so you'd probably be better off just hoping to farm one. (I'm sorry, I'm not spending 60 gold for a Level 30 item).
Levels 30-40: Swords begin to jump out at you as being very useful. You'll also finally start seeing rings that aren't all that terrible, and some leather armors give some crazy Agility bonuses. Here's where the loot gets a whole lot more fun!
WEAPONS:
Stonevault Shiv (Unique) One-Hand Dagger, 1.5 Speed 25-47 Damage (24.0 DPS) +7 Agility +3 Stamina Requires Level 31 Found: Random drop, Uldaman Comment: Definitely not worth using in your main hand, but the stats and the speed make it a pretty decent offhand weapon, especially if you give it a Fiery Weapon enchant, or just a lot of poison.
Gut Ripper One-Hand Dagger, 1.8 Speed 42-80 Damage (33.9 DPS) Chance on hit: Wounds the target for 95 to 121 damage. Requires Level 40 Found: Random drop, Stranglethorn Vale, Tanaris, Searing Gorge, etc. (Level 40+ mobs) Comment: Well, it's Epic. I'd hope it'd be useful. The proc rate, so I'm told, is only in the neighborhood of 3%, which really isn't all that great. Should you ever land one, you're probably better off selling it on the Auction House, as it can easily fetch over 100 gold. Use that money and buy yourself a mount. Or another weapon. But probably a mount.
Fight Club One-Hand Mace, 2.2 Speed 41-76 Damage (26.6 DPS) +6 Strength +6 Stamina Requires Level 34 Found: Random drop, Scarlet Monastery Comment: Rule #1: You do not talk about Fight Club. Rule #2: You DO NOT talk about Fight Club.
