World of Warcraft Tips & Secrets

More WoW Than You Can Handle

Look!

If you’re brand new to this game, one of the first things you may have noticed while learning how to play is that there is an incredible amount of information that’s not in the manual!

Well in the next few minutes I’m going to show you the basic ways to start making gold, so u never have to run around not able to afford a mount, training, or equipment upgrade.  You’ll also get some valuable information for the game that you won’t find in the manual.

#1                                                                                                                                                      Generally what I do when I start a new character is get to level 10 before I pick my two professions. Assuming you’re there now and this is your first character you should choose Skinning, and either Mining or Herbalism. If this is your first character on a new server I would recommend mining, as it will make better gold at lower levels than herbalism can.

Now just skin every beast you kill, and mine every mining gnode that you see…pretty simple :)

#2                                                                                                                                                                 As soon as you can… you need to buy large bags.   Start with 14 slot Runecloth bags, they’re the best deal for the price, then upgrade to 18 slot Imbued Netherweaves when you can. The more bag space you have the more gold you can make!

#3                                                                                                                                                                  If you want to make gold, then you’ll have to use the Auction House.  If you’re not sure where it’s at, you can ask a guard in a major city like Orgimmar, Under City, Stormwind, or Ironforge.  The guard will tell you where it’s at, and give you a red flag on your map as well.

The Auction House is where you will be taking all of your consumable items, as well as weapons and gear that you can’t use, and you’ll sell them to other players in the game.  You can search through all the different categories for weapons, armor, and everything, then decide a good price for your item.  Make it slightly less than the others, so people will buy it first.

When I list items in the Auction House, I want to sell them fast, so I always give them a nice low price for the buyer, but not too low that I can’t make a profit.  The trick here is to use the Addon Auctioneer, I’ll cover it in more detail in the Addon tip.

#4                                                                                                                                                                       To get items for the Auction House, you can take them off the mobs that you kill while you’re playing, or once you have a few silver in your bag, you can start buying recipes and items cheap from vendors for a few silver, and sell them for 1g or more.

Tailoring and Enchanting recipes sell really well, but many of them can only be bought as a Limited Supply(1 at a time). But that’s good, because those LS items sell easily.

Running around your cities finding these guys can bring in 10 to 20 gold an hour, and you can do it at any level but with a guide like Warcraft Millionaire you can easily find all the ones that have profitable items, and not waste hours searching for them!

#5                                                                                                                                                                   Using these simple techniques will put you right where you need to be to learn the game, and shave a few months off your learning curve.  But this next tip is something that can shave probably a YEAR off your learning curve.  You’ll be able to level faster, and make more gold, I promise.

What I’m talking about is using 100% legal and safe, Blizzard approve Addons.  And the 2 that 90% of players use are Quest Helper and Auctioneer.

When you accept a Quest, Quest Helper will show you on your map where you should go, and what you should kill to accomplish your quest!  It’s quite possibly the MOST IMPORTANT Addon any new player MUST get, if they want to level their new character.

So when you’re out looting mobs, what’s worth some gold and what’s only worth a few copper?  What should you list your green items for in the Auction House?  Am I paying too much for things from the Auction House?  Auctioneer is the addon that answers all these questions.

It collects data from your servers economy, and helps you determine what you should keep, and what you should sell to a vendor, and when your bags are full, you can scroll over each item, check the price, and throw out the cheapest items.

It will also save you a LOT of time at the Auction House, by automatically showing you a price that is 5% cheaper than the competition.

Oh and did I mention these Addons are 100% FREE?  You don’t have to sign up, sign in, pay, or make out with a gnome!

Just go to Curse.com or click on the Auctioneer or Quest Helper links here to go straight to their download pages.
