6 of them drop from creatures living only here; the other 13 are rewards the zone keeps to itself.Trailblazer Boots is the pick of the board, paid out by Horde Presence at level 29.The Barrens is thinner for a rogue than for most: 19 against the shaman's 55.Level 20 lands somewhere in the middle of this band, and it is where a rogue picks up Backstab and Crippling Poison.
Plundering the Plunderers starts here at level 16, and hands a rogue Thistle Tea for it.3 dungeons open off the zone: Wailing Caverns at 10, Razorfen Kraul at 15 and Razorfen Downs at 25.The 17 items behind those doors are filed under the dungeon lens rather than on this page.The Horde board here runs to 77 quests against the Alliance's 18, so the two sides are not walking the same zone.By level 60 another 131 world drops can surface here, but they surface anywhere in Kalimdor and there is nothing to chase.A rogue outgrows the band before the list runs out, so fill the slots that are empty and go.
