Rogue weapons while leveling (from dungeons and quests)

[Zendruid 0]

Hey!

I have just started a new rogue (level 10 yay)! I am planning on leveling as Combat, using mostly swords (and maybe maces). Clearly, when leveling a Rogue (or any melee class), you are very dependant on your weapons. At the same time though, you can't really afford to visit the Auction House every few levels and spend gold on weapons, as you'll need 100g for your mount at level 40. Therefore I'm aiming to get most of my weapons from dungeons and quests, starting out with trying to get Cruel Barb from Deadmines (as I'm Alliance).

Does anyone have an overview (or at least some advice) on what weapons to go for and when? Since dungeon loot is very unreliable and I don't want to have to farm the same dungeons over and over while leveling, quest rewards are slightly preferable!

 

Also as a sidenote, does anyone have any advice on gold-farming as a rogue? I've heard something about making a lot of money from pickpocketing, but not sure how that works.

shadowpanther.net has alot of good advice for a rogue on most levels-and a weaponchart is spesifically listed at http://shadowpanther.net/leveling.htm

For starter i suggest the wingblade blue questreward from Wailing Caverns if ure horde,  guaranteed once uve killed the bosses.its abit fast,  2.2 i think.. but still.  if alliance sure the cruel barb is nice. 

ive heard stealth and pickpocketing has been nerfed on elysium,  so id try another route.  Google has some guides though in the end supply and demand based on the rest of the population is key.  a good gatheringprof.  is not a bad idea.  have fun!
