So, I've been around the forum for a long time, and I seem to find people asking the most basic answers everywhere around. Although I doubt this thread will change any of that, I just want to put some of the most useful links into a single thread.
Basic info and armor.
Elitist Jerks; Roguecraft 101.
This thread is extremely useful to the majority of rogues around, wondering what gem is the best choice, what cycle to use in PvE, and so on.

Shadowpanther PvE/PvP armor selection.
Shadowpanther is a great tool when it comes to choosing your gear. You'll be able to go into the link and locate your current armor piece, and comparing it to whatever armor piece you want (Also mentioned where each armor piece drops).

While a lot of the info provided in the guide is really good and informative, there WILL be info which have been changed since then. It's recommended to consider that you can't trust everything in the guide.

Mutilate, The Myth
Many people believe Mutilate with a 1,8 speed dagger is better than a faster dagger. Well, he's a link proving wherether they're right, or wrong.

That was about what threads and useful links I could find just now. I know there's a few of the stickie threads I haven't taken into my post. But that would be a few "gearing up" threads. Which (in my opinion) should be explained properly in Roguecraft 101 and Shadowpanther.
ALL RESPECT GOES TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS OF THE ABOVE LINKS. I HAVEN'T MADE ANY OF IT, MERELY PUT IT TOGETHER IN A SINGLE THREAD.
Any constructive feedback and additional threads is appreciated. Flames will be ignored and/or reported.
