First question is above. In my time I used pos pots for soloing exclusively and this was in my last 30's and 40s when groups were tough but money was good. They are far too expensive for a noobie rogue to start with. time would be wasted trying to do pottery early (alas, I did that and missed countless raids just to up pottery =/ ) and vials are at unheard of values.I'm not sure if even teh poison statement is even a question. More as advise or a possible query as to rogue poison making. There are some sweet ones that you can solo with, but only good if they are cheap, the mob is SEVERLY weakened by them, and if they up ur skill lvl.Also a thought about bowmaking. I started right out of the womb in my teens and never regretted it. Bowery is one of the easiest things a rogue/ranger and other high dex classes can do. I made the craved oak bow I believe very early on (which wasn't good but I toted that think like it were a crown of my establishment). In my mid 40s or so I made the very popular Shaped something bow 1 cam. It was almost as good as the Trueshot (had better dly or range) which I was able to pull with and do annoy dmg to mobs not safe to melee. Of course I obtained the twisted longbow and nightmare bow shortly after, but I was able to make the steel tipped arrows necessary for atking planar mobs.My point, archery is fun and cheap. You can't regret doing it as it's a labor of love. I was able to make some quality bows for up and comers. I wasn't able to make the nightmare one but I was close had I continued with it and not focused on the other distracting tradeskills. I just make a note of this b/c I don't if Horde has numerous quality fletchers. While most classes that can use bows really don't need them (except for rangers duh), a nice bow is good for attacking fleeing mobs unsafe from melee (I have forgotten if when you snipe a mob if other mobs will agro or not).Fletchering, while fun, isn't very important. Rogues and monks can do great dmg with throwing wpns, palidans and shdk suck with the bow, and warriors shouldn't be sniping. However, I was very glad when I was able to fight a mob that only few should melee and everyone else had to range fight. Also, it's fun scoring the last hit w/o moving from ur spot.......and.......arrows.........huh what....Oh sorry, I again drank my tradeskilling brews......so that's like.......70 acohol tolerance....what...my head hurts. Why do I have an arrow through my chest. Look guys ....it went right through me....
