First off I just want to let you know that this isn't my guide. I found it on the 'net and it is very valuable so I thought I deserves a page here.

This guide was created by Prancer a level 57 rogue on Bloodscalp Realm.

This Grinding guide is based on what is good for a rogue, so this may or may not be viable for other classes, I can’t say, I can just say that it is very good for rogues.

------------------------------------------------

A few tips you should always remember when grinding:

1.: Always remember bandages and food, grinding is no good without it.

2.: Getting into big discussions/chats in the /gchat or /wchat or whatever is always fun, and it definitely makes the grinding less boring, however it will slow you down… You can go from 40k/hour to 30k/hour just by having a conversation in the chat which doesn’t seem to take up a lot of time… Keep that in mind if u really want to lvl fast.

3.: If you can’t stand to grind non-stop, just combine it with some questing to ease it up a little...

4.: If you go back to IF/Orgrimmar every half lvl to check AH, you will lose a lot of time with the travelling… Although u may have your hearthstone there, the trip back again will cost you a lot of time…

There’re many reasons to go back to the main city during your grinding, but I guarantee you most of them can be done with a lvl 1 char sitting in the main city, just to check the AH and buy stuff for you… You mail some gold to it to do your dirty work, and it can mail the items back to you.

5.: Always remember to sit your character at the nearest Inn when you log off, to gain rested time… It is really worth it, or rather: Not worth not to do it .

6.: I am very well aware of there’s some very good grinding spots in AV, however I highly discourage this, you will take up a spot in the battleground and you will not help ur team… You will actually help the opposing faction win, which is just stupid… Do not do this if you have any respect for your own faction!

------------------------------------------------

Talents/gear
This was encouraged, and I find it a good idea as it may help some people… I have tried about every build a rogue can try, those that make sense anyway, and found this the most effective at grinding… Everyone that has tried this build while grinding haven’t regret it.

First off, swords are best for grinding, you can’t backstab a mob if you have aggro from it, so you would have to stun it every time to do a new backstab, and that is not viable… Use swords! Agility, +crit% and attack power, those are the 3 stats you will want to have on your gear when grinding… Stamina is nice, but the other stats have priority.

That’s really all there is to say about that, simple right?
I don’t have room to write very much, so I’ll write the talents I find best for grinding, in the order I suggest taking them.

Imp sinister strike(2) - Malice(5) – Remorseless attacks(5) – Imp eviscerate(3) – Lethality(5) – Murder(2) – Coldblood(1) – Imp Gouge(3) – Deflection(5) – Riposte(1) – Precision(5) – Dual wield Specialization(5) – Blade flurry(1) – Sword specialization(5) – Aggression(3)

U can choose to respect when you hit lvl 30 to get Blade flurry early, it’s a very good grinding skill, however that’s a personal choice… This is my preferred grinding build!

Should you feel Hemorrhage was better for grinding, I can understand that, however you would miss out on either the combat tree or the assassination tree, and those are simply the best two talent trees for grinding… So I would not propose that.
