How to Save Gold with a Rogue
I must admit, the Rogue class was the last one I needed to play to complete all the classes in the game. Since I was already aware of the basics, it didn’t take long to level this character. However, the way the auction house is these days you can spend 20 gold on a weak piece of armor that just isn’t worth it.
Today I want to go over a few tips I gathered on my own and others that I utilized from a reputable Rogue guide.
You Have to Get Leatherworking and Skinning
Since your Rogue is going to be wearing leather armor for the duration it’s extremely valuable to grab Leatherworking and Skinning as your primary professions. This will alleviate the hundreds of gold you have to spend on armor, and will allow you to utilize is for better weapons.
The trick is to get as much leather as possible and level up your Leatherworking so it’s a little ahead of your current level. So if you’re at level 35, you should be able to make pieces for level 40s and above. When the time comes to use them you will already have the materials to make it happen.
After all, you don’t need to be decked-out in order to quest. You just need decent gear that will keep the process an easy one.
Adding in a Little Cooking
One thing I hear a lot of Rogues like to do is purchase potions from the auction house. Honestly, this is nothing but a waste of money, especially since you can find them at various vendors throughout the game. All you need to do is level your Cooking profession as you level in order to replenish your health after a battle.
Yes, some Rogues purchase potions to counteract their lack of armor or healing abilities, but there is an area that is often overlooked that can help.
It’s also important to understand that you do not need to purchase enchantments when you are simply questing. Rogues and other classes spend tons of gold on these, even though they are not needed until later in the game. If you want a little boost then grab a cooking item that offers something after you become “Well Fed.”
First Aid for Health
Rogues are considered the annoying class to all the others because of our stunning, incapacitating, and blinding abilities. If you level your First Aid according to your level then you can hit an enemy with Blind and use a bandage to replenish the health.
Taking advantage of all of these tips will help you save gold in the game. Trust me, you’re going to need it later for all those expensive items.
