World of Warcraft: Valanaar Rogue Trainer Location

Eltheen Nightbreeze trains Rogues at the back of the Hall of Arms in Valanaar, next to the settlement's merchants.

Eltheen Nightbreeze trains Rogues at the back of the Hall of Arms in Valanaar, next to the settlement’s merchants.

Valanaar is compact, but its class trainers are tucked inside buildings rather than standing out in the open, which is why the Rogue trainer is easy to walk past. The Rogue trainer sits in the same building as the Warrior trainer, a short run from the settlement’s merchant stalls.

Quick answer: Head to the Hall of Arms in Valanaar, just left of the weapon and goods merchants near the northern entrance, and speak to Eltheen Nightbreeze at the rear of the hall.


Rogue trainer details in Valanaar

Two class trainers share the Hall of Arms, and they stand at opposite ends of the same room. Knowing which one is which saves you a second lap around the building.

Both NPCs use standard friendly green nameplates, so their titles appear above them as soon as you get close. Eltheen Nightbreeze reads as Eltheen Nightbreeze <Rogue Trainer> on the nameplate.


Finding Valanaar on the zone map

Valanaar is a settlement on Azuremyst Isle, sitting near the Glimmering Lowlands. Opening the zone map is the fastest way to orient yourself if you arrived from another part of the island, since the settlement marker and the nearby landmarks give you a straight line to run.

Other named points on the same map include Odesyus’ Landing, Ammen Vale, and Silvermyst Isle, which are useful reference points if you are running in on foot.


How to reach Eltheen Nightbreeze

Enter Valanaar from the northern entrance and follow the main stone path inward. The merchant area is your landmark, so keep running until you can see the weapon and goods vendors.
Look to the left of the merchants for the large wooden building labelled Hall of Arms. This is the only building you need to enter.

Walk up the entrance ramp and into the hall. Seena Skybreaker, the Warrior trainer, stands near the doorway, so do not stop here.

Continue down the interior corridor toward the rear room. The hall is a single straight path, so there are no side doors to check.

Click Eltheen Nightbreeze at the back wall to open the trainer window and browse the abilities available at your current level.

Abilities you can train here

Opening the dialogue window brings up the standard training list. Core early Rogue skills on offer include:

  • Backstab
  • Kick
  • Expose Armor
  • Pick Lock
  • Parry

You do not have to buy everything in one visit. Purchase what you need for your current level and come back as you gain levels and gold.


Confirming you are at the right trainer

You know you have the right NPC when the green nameplate reads Rogue Trainer under the name Eltheen Nightbreeze, and clicking opens a training list rather than a quest or gossip window. If a Warrior ability list appears instead, you clicked Seena Skybreaker near the door and need to keep walking to the back of the hall.

Opening the map while you are inside the building is another quick sanity check, since your player arrow shows your position within Valanaar rather than somewhere else in the settlement.

Checking map00:33Checking map
Checking the map from inside the trainer building confirms your position in Valanaar. Shown at 00:33 in FocustaGuides’s video.

Once training is done, turning around and walking back out the ramp puts you straight back beside the merchants, so you can restock and pick up any nearby quests without another detour.
