Rogue spellbook

Source: View source Version: Forever beta 1.60.1.70291 Review: Source checked Last reviewed: 2026-10-09

Rogue spellbook records 26 spell-rank entries across 18 named abilities with source-listed learning levels 1–20. It is a reference to the Forever beta export, not a rotation or a claim that every entry is obtainable from a class trainer.

Read the values in context. The source renders beta tooltips at level 60 without gear. A listed low-level rank does not mean its displayed damage, healing, or Mana cost was measured on a character at that learning level. Client text may also lag live tuning.

Coverage and evidence

Only class-tab entries with an explicit beta source flag and a learning level from 1 through 20 are shown. Talent-gated entries, records marked for alternative acquisition, General-tab demo data, Classic fallback tooltips, unknown learning levels, and higher-level ranks are excluded. Pet abilities can appear in the source class tabs. The remaining list is not a complete acquisition guide.

The export does not include an in-game city-trainer check for this class. These entries remain source-reported client data.
