To get Poisons as a Rogue in Classic World of Warcraft, you’ll need to complete a specific class questline to unlock the skill. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Level Requirement
You must be Level 20 to begin the Poison skill questline.
2. Visit Your Class Trainer
Go to your Rogue class trainer in your faction’s major city (e.g., Stormwind for Alliance or Orgrimmar for Horde).
They will provide you with a quest to begin the process of learning the Poison skill.
3. The Questline
The questline differs slightly between factions:
Alliance Questline
Quest: “Mathias and the Defias”
Pick it up from Milo Myles in Stormwind. You’ll be sent to speak with Master Mathias Shaw in the Old Town.
Shaw will give you the follow-up quest.
Quest: “Klaven’s Tower”
Travel to Westfall and head to Klaven’s Tower, located in the Dagger Hills area (southwest of Moonbrook). The tower is guarded by Defias mobs.
Use the provided E.C.A.C. (Explosive Charge) to blow open the strongbox on the top floor of the tower.
Retrieve the item from the strongbox and return to Mathias Shaw.
Completing this will unlock the Poison skill.
Horde Questline
Quest: “Mission: Possible But Not Probable”
Pick it up from your Rogue trainer in Orgrimmar. You’ll be tasked with infiltrating a tower in The Barrens, near Northwatch Hold.
Infiltration Details
You must sneak into the tower (using Stealth, Sap, and Vanish) to avoid detection and complete objectives.
Retrieve the item from the chest at the top of the tower.
Once completed, return to your trainer in Orgrimmar to unlock the Poison skill.
4. Learn Poisons
Once you’ve finished the questline, you’ll gain the Poisons skill. You can now:
Craft poisons using reagents purchased from vendors or looted from mobs.
Apply poisons to your weapons for enhanced combat effects.
5. Poison Crafting Materials
Here are the basic reagents you’ll need:
Empty Vial – Sold by vendors.
Common herbs like Briarthorn or Fadeleaf (obtained via Herbalism or the Auction House).
You can use the Poison skill to create various poisons such as:
Instant Poison (direct damage).
Crippling Poison (slows movement).
Deadly Poison (damage over time).
Mind-numbing Poison (slows casting).
Tips for Success
Use your Rogue abilities like Sap and Vanish to avoid unnecessary combat during the questline.
Bring healing potions and food if you’re low-level, as the enemies in the quest areas can be challenging.
Good luck unlocking your poisons and wreaking havoc as a Rogue! 🗡️
