Rogue Leveling Guide (1-65)

The Rogue path from newbie pickpocket to backstab raid DPS.

Leveling a Rogue on The Last Camp from 1 to 65.

The Rogue is a pure-DPS group class. Backstab from behind the tank's target, sneak around dangerous patrols, pickpocket NPCs for free coin, evade aggro on overpull. From 1 to 65 your role is the same: stab things from behind, run away when needed, scout when asked. There's no Mez, no heal, no nuke, no tanking — just precise positional damage and stealth utility.

Rogues are group-locked from level 8 onward. You cannot solo efficiently — your damage is melee-only and you have no taunt or self-heal. Backstab requires positional and a piercer; without a group tank holding aggro, the Rogue eats hits the moment they backstab. The good news: group demand is high in any zone with named mobs and split pulls, and your Sneak/Hide makes you the party's scout.

Tier-by-tier

1-10 (Newbie)

  • Common race-class start: Canonical Rogue races (Human, Half Elf, Dwarf, Wood Elf, Halfling, Dark Elf, Erudite, Gnome, Vah Shir) start in racial city. The Last Camp-only combos like Iksar Rogue start in Cabilis and grind in Field of Bone. Ogre/Troll Rogue start in Oggok/Grobb — racial size makes Sneak less useful but the class still works.
  • Bind at hometown.

The Last Camp any-race-class race notes

Canonical Rogue races (Human, Half Elf, Dwarf, Wood Elf, Halfling, Dark Elf, Erudite, Gnome, Vah Shir) all have racial Rogue guilds and starter gear. The Last Camp-only combos open the class to Iksar, Ogre, and Troll. Iksar Rogue is the most viable The Last Camp-only combo — natural regen + AC, starts in Cabilis with full Iksar infrastructure. Faction adjustments needed for Freeport/Qeynos travel.

Ogre Rogue has a comically large hitbox that makes Sneak/Hide harder, but the racial Strength and HP pool partially offset. Troll Rogue suffers same problem with regen as upside. High Elf Rogue is rare but viable — start in Felwithe, no faction friction. Halfling Rogue is the canonical optimal pick — small hitbox, great Sneak/Hide, racial poison-resist.

Common mistakes

  • Backstabbing from the front — position behind the tank's target, every time.
  • Forgetting to apply poison — it's free damage past 30.
  • Skipping Pick Pockets skill — it's free coin and consumables.
  • Tanking — you can't. Don't try.
  • Standing on the tank — you'll eat AOE; stand behind the mob, not next to the tank.
  • Skipping Sneak/Hide drills — they lag brutally if you don't keep current.
