Huntin for roguish treasures?! Well! I know places!!! It's basically all I've been doing on Pockete.... adventuring and finding treasure and savin people!!
My level 19 untwinked rogue has made over 5,000 platinums in total!!! ((Not even including my fishbone earring or other fine armors / equipment I use)) It's my highest level character... and twinks my other characters because being so rich with noble gnome fortunes.
First off you can make platinums by going to dungeons and trading adventurers platinums for their sacks of silver and copper! Along with selling stacks of muffins and milk to the hungry! For a rogue it's a great way to make moneys early!
Next up is the ground treasures. People hunt things all the time and never bother looting! It's bananas! Seen it in Sol A, the docks in butcherblock, rivervale area, and runnyeye the most.
Then there are high value ground treasures... look for long camps that drop a common lore thing. Such as
The Froglok King in lower guk (you gotta get past the see invis elemental, but if you wait for it to swim the other way then you can sneak past) - You can pick up a Crown of the Froglok Kings there that would otherwise rot! Especially since people usually hunt that alone as an enchanter (and they want the sword).
Bladed Thulian Claws from Cazic Thule (you can faction up outside of cazic thule to be non-kos if you want to, letting you freely run around most everywhere except for around gators).
Splitpaw loots (masks, belts, and other things like that rot ALL the time...the mask is good since it gives a greater lightstone effect)
Kedge Keep!! Trying to get a trident of the deep seas!! This one is tricky since you need enduring breath, and you gotta sneak down when someone is going to kill it....and get lucky that no one else needs it... but you can get a fine fine treasure that way with enough effort.
Sol B - Soiled Bag! Common drop and usually just one person after the cloak....which means if another bag drops, chances are they don't want it.
......
......
BUT THEN there are some fine treasures you can get yourself!!! The silvered Leggings from lower guk are lore BUT NOT MAGIC (which means you can just take them with pick pocket).
You can also take the Goblin Kings ring from Sol A (lore, not magic... I've taken 3 rings so far...especially since I'm not KOS in Sol A to goblins, so check by there now and then)
.......
And finally, you can rob cities!! Guards shields are a greaaat way to make platinum as a rogue. Freeport and Kaladim guards shields sell for about 5pp... and VERY FEW rogues bother taking shields (even though in kaladim alone you could make over 100pp in about 10 minutes....starting at level 7....).
Freeport guards are killed often too, meaning each time you pass you can pick up some extra platinum (every time I run to the bank I pick up a quick 10-50pp by leaping over guards and pickin their pockets as I go)
Wood elf city and other cities shield still sell for 2pp each, so it's worth it going to Kelethin and just taking all the guards shields (there are a ton of guards).... or going to Ak'anon and taking all theirs (again, a ton of guards). Sure you might die some, but every rogue knows platinum is worth more than life!!!
No rogue should be poor (just on shields! Let alone everything else).... it's the only class you can be comfortably rich untwinked very early (first couple days I had to be the richest there was in all of Norrath!)
And then with that money, you can buy some things that would let you take down hill giants or minotaur heroes (hero bracers!) very very early (doable at level 7, since that's when you will be getting a fortune from pickpocket if you want to buy a top notch bow....but the higher up you go the faster and more comfortable it is).
I dunno why so many rogues just go backstab things all day.... way more exciting sneaking around and adventuring and finding treasure.
