Making gold in World of Warcraft.

Making gold in World of Warcraft

Everything you need to know about WoW Free trial!

I have successfully made thousands upon thousands of gold in World of Warcraft and i am often asked by my friends and guildmates how i do it.

The easiest and by far most effective way to make gold is to get good farming professions. This means herbalism and mining. If you can save up 5000g for an epic flying mount then you can make roughly 1000g a day just from herbalism alone! I know this because i have done so many times.

Mining is probably the second most profitable profession you can have. Just like herbalism all you have to do is go out and fly around mining nodes for an hour or so to farm lots of gold.

Once you have your mats (herbs, ore) you need to sell it on the auction house. I recommend using an addon called auctioneer to scan and automatically post your auctions. You can scan the auction house once a day or week to keep current with prices of items on the auction house for your server. After you have scanned the auction house you can use auctioneer to competitively post your herbs and ore for big profits.

Another easy way i find to make gold is fishing. If you max out your fishing skill and fish in the level 70-80 areas you can make a surprising amount of gold. Just search the auction house for the fish that sell for the most and then go fishing.

Cooking is yet another profitable profession. Use it along with fishing to make even more gold!

Just keep up to date on the current auction prices and whats selling for a lot and the amount of gold you can make is up to you! A little research goes a long way!

WoW Arena system

World of Warcraft Arenas

For many people the Arena system is all they spend their time doing in the World of Warcraft. It is very addicting and at times can be quite time consuming.

There is nothing like the feeling of being one of the top rated teams on your server or battlegroup. It is a very intense cut throat fight to get to the top, but once you're there its amazing!

The concept of the Arena system is fairly easy to understand. You can either compete in 2v2, 3v3 or 5v5 Arena teams. The easiest of course is the 2v2 because you can find a partner easily, but it tends to be the most competitive for the same reason.

3v3 is quite fun also, but it gets a bit harder to coordinate your teams efforts in defeating the opposing team. 5v5 is the most difficult to master and probably the least favorite of the WoW players.

Each week your team earns arena points based on rating to purchase new gear that gets them a leg up on the competition. The best gear you can buy with arena points requires a very high team rating and is the most sought after in the game.

World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft

What is World of Warcraft?


World of Warcraft is a very addicting massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) with more than 10 million players around the world. It is the most popular MMORPG in the world right now.

The goal of World of Warcraft or WoW for short is to level to the maximum current level of 80 and then gear out your character. You can't really beat the game because there is so much content to see and so many things to do. It truly is like a whole other world.

After you create your first character on the server of your choosing you have to level it to 80. To level you need to complete quests to get experience for each level. As you are leveling it is a good idea to grab two professions so that you can make some extra in game currency known as gold. Depending on the professions you choose, you can either make a lot of gold or items you can use to better your character.

Many people find it addicting just leveling to 80 because of the thrill of learning new abilities and meeting and interacting with other players in the game. Leveling is only half of the fun though. Once you hit the maximum level of 80, you can now participate in the very competitive arena system. The arena is all about player versus player combat to see who is the best. There are three brackets: 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5. I find that the most competitive and fun is the 2v2 bracket.

If PvP isn't for you then you can group up with other players to defeat bosses in dungeons to better your gear. Better gear means you can defeat other enemies easier and be more of an asset to your group to move on to greater and newer content.

Some people find it fun to just "farm" to make as much gold as possible. Farming can be done in many ways, but the most popular is to go out and gather items to sell on the auction house to other players.

Even after you have completed the latest and greatest content in the game your fun doesn't end there. There is always something to do as the game is available for play 24/7 with millions of other fellow players to interact with.

This is only a very small part of what you can do in the World of Warcraft. If you have some spare time then i would recomment playing WoW, but be aware that it is very addicting.
