ow to unlock and train Rogue poisons in WoW Classic

In World of Warcraft Classic, certain classes have mechanics that only they have access to, and one of the most famous class-specific abilities is the Rogue class’ ability to apply poisons to their weapons.

Rogues’ poisons may be a foundational mechanic of the class, but to WoW Classic Gold unlock them, there’s a little bit of legwork involved. You can’t just go to a Rogue trainer and get the ability to apply poisons—you must first complete a quest that’s specifically tailored for Rogues.

Rogues have a ton of class-specific quests, especially in the early sections of the WoW Classic leveling process. From getting your early-game dagger to getting acquainted with the ability to pick locks, Rogues lead the way in class-specific experiences, making them easily one of the most immersive classes in the game.

How to complete the quest line needed for Rogue poisons in WoW Classic

To gain access to poisons in WoW Classic, you’ll need to complete a brief chain of quests that grant you access to the skill. Poisons are locked behind this quest chain, and you won’t be able to start getting the DPS bonus they offer until you complete the quests. That’s why we recommend making these quests a priority as soon as you get the chance to complete them, which will be at level 20. Keep in mind there is a slight level of difficulty attached to these quests, though, so you might need to WOW Classic WotLK Gold wait a few levels (or until you have solid gear) before tackling them head-on.

Horde Rogues and Alliance Rogues have two separate quest chains they’ll need to complete to unlock poisons. Horde players can start the quest chain with Shenthul in Orgrimmar’s Cleft of Shadow, who gives a quest called “The Shattered Salute,” while Alliance Rogues will need to speak with Mathias Shaw in SI:7 in Stormwind City and complete his quest, “Mathias and the Defias.”
