It's the abilities of the Rogue that makes them unique. In this Rogue leveling guide I'll go over the Rogue abilities, explain the best professions to follow, and how to find some of the best Rogue gear - all important factors fo leveling your Rogue.

The single most important ability for this Rogue leveling guide is Stealth. Stealth is the most important Rogue ability, allowing them to move around undetected. This is an excellent ability to work on for solo play and also PvP play. With a group Rogues use stealth to check out dungeons and use the Sap ability to help control an enemy just before attack. Like all Rogue abilities you can enhance this skill through your talents, but also items you collect and enchantments.

Dual Wield, the combat skill Rogues can learn at level 10 is a great ability for a Rogue, especially one that want to apply poison and hit as many times as they can to do so.

Poisons are very important for Rogues who want to deal maximum burst damage - the highest level possible by a character in WoW. You can get the Poison ability at level 20 by completing a Rogue-quest (see below). Poisons can cause more damage or apply other effects like Slow. Poisoners should search for the Bloodfang Armour - if you wear three pieces your chance of applying Poisons increases by 5%.

Lockpicking is a great Rogue skill that should be developed, as the extra loot and treasure you find in chests and behind locked doors can be awesome, and often very valuable. It's important to maintain a steady flow of Gold to consistently level your Rogue without losing momentum. Choosing your Rogue's professions is essential for this.

Rogue leveling guide to Professions

Skinning and Leatherworking are a good combination for a Rogue, as it both provides you with decent income and also crafted items that tend to be better than the ones you find around at the same level.

Engineering and Mining is a good fun profession for the Rogue, as it gives you some awesome equipment. But this combo actually is very expensive, so not a great money-earner in the long run.

Herbalism and Alchemy is probably the best combo for Gold for a Rogue. It gives you plenty of potions and elixirs which you can use or sell.

Weapons are extremely important for the Rogue, get skilled in the sword as soon as possible. When you are starting out your main attack will be with Sinister Strike, which needs a weapon with decent damage, llike a sword. As soon as you can at level 20, master Poisons. Make sure your blades are always dripping with poison. Crippling pisons are my personal favourite - they stop enemies from running and calling friends.

Get yourself at least three pieces of the Bloodfang Armour for the Poison bonus - this is some truly awesome Rogue Armour. You'll find most of the pieces around Blackwing Lair, except the headpiece which Onyxia drops in Onyxia's Lair, and the legpiece which Ragnaros inthe Molten Core drops.

for the Poison ability at level 20, you must complete a few Rogue-only quests. Horde Rogues get given the quest 'Deep Cover' by Shenthul in Orgrimmer, and must travel to The Barrens to find Taskmaster Fizzule who will give you another quest called Mission Possible but not Probable. Alliance Rogues get their Poison quest in Westfall from Agent Kearnen, it is the 'Klaven's Tower' quest. First visit Master Mathias in Stormwind when you reach level 20 to get sent to Kearnen and get your Poison quest.

That concludes this Rogue leveling guide. The WoW Guide below includes a comprehensive Rogue leveling guide. I recommend that you check it out:
