Rogue class quests: the Blade of Cunning, Thistle Tea and Ravenholdt

Rogue class quests are errands for your city's spymasters: deliver a package, lift a key, rob a chest. Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, Night Elves, Orcs and Undead each have a level 10 chain that ends with the same dagger. Between 16 and 20 you open your first lockbox or do a job in Ratchet. At 24 each faction has a heist that pays the recipe for Thistle Tea: it restores 100 Energy at once, on a 5-minute cooldown.

• Blade of CunningLevel 10 chain: Human, Dwarf, Gnome, Night Elf, Orc, Undead
• Recipe: Thistle TeaKlaven's Tower or Mission: Possible But Not Probable, level 24

Each of these chains ends with Blade of Cunning, a dagger with +2 Agility. Skyborne rogues instead get At Home in the Shadows at level 2 on Zephras Isle: Rorian the Dayseeker sends you to Akeri Duskblade in the Thendal Grove watchtower.

Orc: the Shattered Hand

Undead: the Deathstalkers

Alliance: Lucius's lockbox

Three contacts start the same errand at 16: Erion Shadewhisper in Teldrassil, To Hulfdan! in Kharanos and SI:7 in Goldshire. All of them lead to Renzik "The Shiv" in Stormwind, who sends you to Lucius in Lakeshire.

In Alther's Mill Lucius gives you Thieves' Tools; his lockbox is at Alther's Mill, east of Lakeshire. Open it, bring the token back, and you get a Certificate of Thievery.

Horde: Plundering the Plunderers

Find the Shattered Hand from Mennet Carkad in the Undercity or To Orgrimmar! from Kaplak in Razor Hill sends you to Shenthul in the Cleft of Shadow. Zando'zan, beside him, sends you to Wrenix the Wretched in Ratchet.

In Plundering the Plunderers, take an E.C.A.C. and a set of Thieves' Tools from Wrenix's machine, then recover the Southsea Treasure from Polly, south of Ratchet. Wrenix pays 10 Thistle Tea.

Undead: Tools of the Trade

Mennet Carkad has two more jobs for Undead rogues. At 16, : kill Fenwick Thatros in Silverpine Forest. At 20, : the Dalaran Status Report from the Ambermill strongbox.

New in Forever, for both factions. A dead drop near Pyrewood Village in Silverpine Forest sends you into Shadowfang Keep for the Horn of Xelthos. You must do the job alone. First find Veenix in Stonetalon Mountains: he gets you past the keep's courtyard gate, and Goblin Lockpicks ends with him. Then fetch the horn, bring it back to the drop, and the follow-up pays 30 silver and a Pyrewood Signet Ring.

Each faction's chain has an elite job at its heart, and both pay Recipe: Thistle Tea (Cooking 60 to learn it).

Alliance: Klaven's Tower

1. 1

   Step 1: Agent Kearnen in Westfall

   At 20 Mathias Shaw sends you to Agent Kearnen in south-east Westfall. Read Kearnen's journal: it explains the tower.

2. 2

   Step 2: Into the Defias tower

   Lift the Defias Tower Key from a Malformed Defias Drone, open the tower and take Klaven Mortwake's journal from the chest inside. Bring it to Mathias Shaw.

At 24 an Elegant Letter starts The Manor, Ravenholdt: take the Seal of Ravenholdt to Fahrad at Ravenholdt Manor in Alterac Mountains. Your cunning is tested on the way in. After that a Ravenholdt guard takes Syndicate Emblems, and from 50 Fahrad trades 200 Dusksteel Throwing Knife for 5 Heavy Junkbox.

At 52 your trainer sends you to Lord Jorach Ravenholdt. His errand runs through Azshara: a Sealed Azure Bag, a rare drop from the Timbermaw Shaman, 10 Encoded Fragments for Archmage Xylem, and the Azure Key from Morphaz in the Sunken Temple. Pick Ebon Mask, Whisperwalk Boots or .
