Quest counts come from the WoW Forever quest data and include quests both factions share; where the Forever data has none yet, the count is the Classic list the dungeon page shows, labeled as such. Each dungeon's page lists the quests with where they start. New Forever dungeons have no Classic drop list, so their upgrades show up once their loot is known.

Gear upgrades by level

The best item with a known source for each slot and level band: a dungeon drop (Classic drop list, item still in Forever), a dungeon quest reward or a crafted piece. Plate and mail only appear from level 40, when the class trains them. A level band with no known-source upgrade shows a dash.

Legacy Points while you level

Unconfirmed

Where to spend Rogue Legacy Points for solo questing, in the order the points arrive. A character can spend 16, and an account can earn 65 at launch. Stop wherever your total is — the list is cumulative. Effects are quoted from the Live client 1.60.1.70707 data.

1.
Well Restedrank 1 · Adventure
Your rested experience accumulates 4% faster and your rested experience cap is increased by 4%.
Only one point here for now — it is the prerequisite for Talented, and rested experience is worth having while you are at it.
1 point · 1/16
2.
Talentedrank 5 · Adventure
You gain talent points every level starting at level 5 instead of starting at level 10, but you still may not have more than 51 total talent points.
The strongest leveling node in the tree: talent points from level 5 instead of 10, so you reach your first real build five levels sooner.
5 points · 6/16
3.
Thrill of Adventurerank 5 · Adventure
You gain 5% of your maximum Health and Mana over 10 sec each time you deliver the killing blow to a non-trivial enemy. Ineffective in dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds.
5% of your health and mana back on every killing blow. Solo questing is mostly downtime between fights, and this is the node that removes it. It does nothing in dungeons, raids or battlegrounds.
5 points · 11/16
4.
Field Guiderank 1 · Adventure
Reduces your cooldown on adding Camp features by 8%
Prerequisite for Frequent Flier, and shortens the wait between camp features.
1 point · 12/16
5.
Frequent Flierrank 1 · Adventure
You receive a 50% discount on all flight paths, and your flight path mount flies 20% faster.
Half-price flight paths and 20% faster flights. You will fly hundreds of times before 60.
1 point · 13/16
6.
Gourmandrank 1 · Resourcefulness
Increases the duration of beneficial effects from eating food by 33%.
Food buffs last a third longer, so you eat less often between pulls.
1 point · 14/16
7.
Well Restedrank 3 · Adventure
Your rested experience accumulates 12% faster and your rested experience cap is increased by 12%.
No vendor reagents to save on, so the last two points go into rested experience.
2 points · 16/16

What to skip, and why

Permanence: Its party-buff half does nothing alone; the camp rest half is not worth three points while you are questing.
For Great Honor: Honor only, so it waits until you start battlegrounds.
Diplomat: Reputation matters at 60, not on the way there.
High Alert, Field Medicine: Stealth detection and bandage timers are situational; neither changes how fast you level.

Variants

If you gather while you level, one or two points in Bountiful Harvest (20% more scarce materials per rank, Mining, Herbalism and Skinning) pay for your mounts; take them out of the last picks on this list.
Levelling in dungeons instead? Thrill of Adventure is dead weight there — the dungeon plan on any dungeon leveling guide spends those five points on Permanence, Reinforce and faster corpse runs.
Your class buys no reagents, and Reagent Economy no longer makes camp features free, so it is left out of this plan.

Legacy values are datamined from the game client and can change. Plan your own spread in the Legacy planner, see where points come from inLegacy Points, or read the Legacy system guide. The order above is our recommendation; the effects are game data.

At level 60

Switch to the Combat Rogue pre-raid gear list, or pick another spec on the pre-raid gear page. Enchants for level 60 are on the enchants guide, and the leveling Legacy picks above are worth a respec: Rogue Legacy Points at 60.
