Fungus Shroud Armor Chest 148 Armor +25 Agility +10 Stamina Requires Level 46 Found: Meshlok the Harvester (Rare), Maraudon Comment: Meshlok is not as rare as some rare spawns, but he isn't always around. You can usually find him somewhere in Poison Falls. He's a tough cookie, so if you're trying to farm him by yourself, come when you're somewhere in the neighborhood of mid-50s. If you have the Blazewind Breastplate already, you cheaty devil, you won't ever need this.
Phytoskin Spaulders Shoulder 111 Armor +16 Agility +10 Stamina +10 Nature Resistance Requires Level 46 Found: Razorlash, Maraudon Comment: Stats will last you a while, and Nature Resistance might help you more than you think. Even if you don't wear one while leveling, consider getting one a little bit later: it just might come in handy (wink, wink).
Atal'ai Spaulders of Agility, of the Monkey Shoulder 193 Armor <Random enchantment> Requires Level 47 Found: Gasher, Zolo, Loro, Zul'Lor, Mijan, Hukku, Sunken Temple (or its much longer, more boring name, The Temple of Atal'Hakkar) Comment: Sunken Temple is a frustrating experience for many a player. If you happen to be a little more masochistic than the rest of us, "of Agility" will add +19 or +20 Agility, while "of the Monkey" will add +12 or +13 to both Agility and Stamina. As a rule, I tried to avoid Sunken Temple whenever possible, though. You might also have a hard time convincing silly Feral Druids that they really don't want the item. Good luck :P
Darkwater Bracers of Agility, of the Monkey Wrist 66 Armor +7 Shadow Resistance <Random enchantment> Requires Level 47 Found: Atal'alarion, Sunken Temple Comment: "of Agility" adds +14 or +15 Agility, while you Monkey friends add +9 or +10 to both Agility and Stamina. Man, I hate Sunken Temple.
Albino Crocscale Boots Feet 105 Armor +20 Agility +5 Stamina +5 Nature Resistance Requires Level 48 Found: Rotgrip, Maraudon Comment: You just might like Maraudon more if you pick these up. Chances are you definitely won't complain about getting another +20 Agility on your boots. It's about the only decent Rogue item Rotgrip drops, unless patterns for Big Voodoo items is more up your alley.
Deepfury Bracers Wrist 69 Armor +4 Strength +15 Agility +4 Stamina Requires Level 50 Found: Random drop, Level 55+ mobs Comment: Finally, some nice bracers! See if you can get these on the Auction House: Shadowcraft Bracers can often drop the price of these to something very, very affordable, so pick them up if you can!
Ebon Mask Head 122 Armor +11 Stamina Equip: Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 1%. Equip: +36 Attack Power. Requires Level 50 Found: Quest reward, The Azure Key, Sunken Temple Comment: This item and the two below it are all optional rewards off the same quest, and you can only get one. All of them have impressive mods, but I found the Ebon Mask to be more easily replaced than the other two, which have benefits past vendoring them. The Mask does not, but it does have the advantage of looking really cool. Overall, the Mask is probably the worst item to take, even though the mods are excellent.
Whisperwalk Boots Feet 104 Armor +18 Agility +4 Stamina Equip: Increases your effect stealth level by 1. Requires Level 50 Found: Quest reward, The Azure Key, Sunken Temple Comment: Very nice bonuses, and the increase in stealth level actually gives this some use even if you find some other boots to replace them, which you won't for a while. Probably your best bet as the quest reward, unless you're really hurting for a helmet or cloak.
Duskbat Drape Back 37 Armor +14 Agility Equip: Reduces damage from falling. Requires Level 50 Found: Quest reward, The Azure Key, Sunken Temple Comment: Let me tell you why I like this item. First of all, one of the best Pre-Molten Core capes is the Cape of the Black Baron, which, although it does also boast +20 Attack Power, only adds 1 more Agility than this cape does. Combined with Safe Fall, you can fall really, really long distance without dying. +14 Agility is just fine, otherwise. I'd rank this as the second best of the three rewards, but it's all subjective. Take this if you need a cloak, or appreciate the humor of cliff diving.
Archaedic Stone of Agility, of Eluding, of the Monkey (Unique) Finger 50 Armor <Random enchantment> Requires Level 42 Found: Archaedas, Uldaman Comment: Just when you thought I was done listing cool Uldaman drops, here's another! "of Agility" is +12 or +13 Agility, "of Eluding" is +1% Dodge and +6 or +7 Agility, and "of the Monkey" is +8 or +9 Agility and Stamina. Fight Druids for this one! Lie to them and tell them Bears get no Armor bonus! You will like Uldaman. You will like Uldaman. You will like Uldaman.
Blackstone Ring (Unique) Finger +6 Stamina Equip: +20 Attack Power. Equip: Improves your chance to hit by 1%. Requires Level 49 Found: Princess Theradras, Maraudon Comment: It's everything an Assault Band wishes it could have been. +1% to hit is very, very nice, because one of the big Rogue weaknesses is the fact that they miss. A lot. Missing on finishing moves, especially Kidney Shot, sucks quite a bit. So don't miss on that, and don't miss this item. Princess farming is a very good idea anyway.
Drakeclaw Band of Agility, of Eluding, of the Monkey Finger Equip: Increased Defense +6 <Random enchantment> Requires Level 49 Found: Weaver, Morphaz, Hazzas, Sunken Temple Comment: This might be where your Druid fighting luck will run out. You'll have a hard time convincing them that they don't want whatever Drakeclaw ring drops. Stupid Druids. Anyway, "of Agility" is +14 or +15 to Agility, "of Eluding" is +1% Dodge and +7 or +8 Agility, and "of the Monkey" is +9 or +10 to both Agility and Stamina.
Skibi's Pendant Neck +5 Strength +13 Agility +3 Spirit Requires Level 44 Found: Random drop, Level 49+ mobs Comment: Good luck finding or buying one: the prices are ridiculous usually. While leveling, I couldn't afford one if my life depended on it.
Woven Ivy Necklace Neck +6 Strength +9 Agility +10 Stamina Requires Level 46 Found: Quest reward, Wanted: Vile Priestess Hexx and Her Minions, The Hinterlands (Horde) Comment: A nice little necklace in a land where there aren't very many nice little necklaces. You can't get it as Alliance, so it's your duty as a Hordie to flaunt the fact that you can.
Heart of Noxxion Trinket +10 Nature Resistance Use: Removes 1 poison effect. Requires Level 46 Found: Noxxion (duh), Maraudon Comment: Can't get an Anti-Venom to save your life? This is about your only option to get rid of annoying scorpion and spider poison. You might want it, but I was too lazy to farm one for myself.
Levels 50-59 (ha!): You might be too busy grinding levels to reach 60 to really pick up any good non-Raid loot, but in case you aren't like that, there is still stuff to be had.
WEAPONS:
Hanzo Sword One-Hand Sword, 1.5 Speed 38-71 Damage (36.3 DPS) Chance on hit: Wounds the target for 75 damage. Requires Level 50 Found: Random drop, mid-50s+ mobs Comment: Actually, this sword kind of sucks. Strictly offhand, and really not all that good anyway. The proc rate is pretty miserable. If you can get it cheap and NEED an offhand, go get it, but otherwise, I wouldn't bother. However, since I'm not listing Raid loot, I wanted to put at least another weapon in here, so there!
Krol Blade Main Hand Sword, 2.8 Speed 80-149 Damage (40.9 DPS) +7 Strength +5 Stamina Equip: Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 1%. Requires Level 51 Found: Random drop, mid-50s+ mobs Comment: God, I hate this weapon. It's not that it's bad - far from it! - but if your server is anything like Elune, all you will ever, ever hear is "WTS Krol Blade 9932470948234g", "WTB Krol Blade 5g", "WTS Krol Blade Krol Blade Krol Blade Krol Blade", or "Hey, does anyone have a Krol Blade?" in every channel in any capital city. Don't let it happen to you!
Assassination Blade One-Hand Sword, 2.7 Speed 71-132 Damage (37.6 DPS) +3 Strength Equip: Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 1%. Requires Level 51 Found: Random drop, mid-50s+ mobs Comment: Sure, a poor man's Krol Blade, but a lot more realistic and cheap to acquire. It's a decent main hand, but it won't last for all that long.
Heartseeking Crossbow Crossbow, 3.1 Speed 71-108 Damage, +1-4 Shadow Damage (29.7 DPS) +9 Agility +4 Stamina Requires Level 51 Found: Random drop, mid-50s+ mobs Comment: My crossbow of choice, which I'm still currently using. Hits very hard for its level, and the Agility and Stamina bonuses are always welcome. Also great for shooting Mages in PvP when they root you: critical strikes can take off over 500 HP!
ARMOR:
Dark Phantom Cape Back 39 Armor +15 Agility
