3 Simple But Hugely Effective WoW Gold Making Tips
Gold. We all want it. An interesting news article today spoke of the uncanny resemblence WoW's gold distribution possesses to our own planets distribution of wealth. I cannot be too sure of the rich/poor divide in WoW but the news article seems to suggest very few top players possess a startling majority.
From what I've seen, most WoW gold guides and gold making tips have modified versions of basic economic theory. In fact, you'll be pinching yourself because the tips are mostly the product of common sense. But their simplicity makes seemingly common knowledge uncommon. Without further ado, let's look at how we can make more gold in World of Warcraft and join the upper echelon!
1. Develop a skill/pick up a trade - Yes, yes, I know. Whoop-de-doo! No Sh-- sherlock! However, the top players don't have any extra cheats or unbelievable superpowers that enable them to make serious WoW gold. They are doing the same thing everyone else does. It's just that their strategy is different. So whether you choose to create/gather, you need to go to the auction house and see what's selling. You can also combine creation and gathering i.e. herbalism and alchemy and then sell what you make to other players. The auction is really important because 9/10 items made by trades will never sell. You can spend hours on your trade so wise use of your time is CRITICAL. Another way to save time is making use of a map so you know where the spawns are. And then in the odd hours, you can milk the zones dry! In other words, know what sells and work to provide it!
2. Play alone - Team work sucks in WoW. If you want to make gold FAST, you are better going it alone. Why? If you had to divide the poils between 10 eople, you'd have to destroy 10 mobs to make as much money as you would alone. Not only does that take time, but those kill rates elude even the best groups. If time is on your side, then joining a group is fine but overall, with time factored in, you'll make much more money playing alone than being part of a group.
3. Get on your grind! - Quest are great and they have their own time and place plus they are a lot of fun. In fact, they are a central part of the game. But for the purposes of increasing the gold in your account, grinding is far superior. For the uninitiated, i'll explain what grinding is, briefly ofcourse! Grinding is finding a spot with mobs that can be pulled individually and then spawning much faster than you can kill them.
The repetitive nature of this is the reason why it's called 'grinding'. These particular spots are called 'grind spots' and you will have to locate them yourself. If you are too impatient, you can pay a premium on some websites and you'll get a comprehensive list of 'grind spots'.
I recommend you fine tune your own location skills so that you need not rely on anybody for this.A good tip is to attack lower level mobs as they die faster and you'll get your loot much quicker. Bear in mind that the difference in loot between mobs many levels above you and mobs many levels below you in marginal. Your time is better spent attacking lower level mobs!
