Buy WoW Gold Its Not A Good Idea

by Raul Krost

World of Warcraft (WoW) Gold Farming is one of the most popular methods for making gold in WoW, and as a result is very competitive. WoW gold farming is very much about efficiency; you must kill a lot of mobs that drop good loot in a short amount of time. In this article, I will give you five WoW gold farming tips that will increase your money making rate.

Since “The Burning Crusade” has been released, gold has become even more desirable. Though the expansion did make it easier to amass larger amounts of gold faster, there has also been an increase in prices for all the good items, armor, mounts, and weapons you can gain in Outlands. Essentially, despite the massive increase in gold-gaining capability, almost everyone still lacks enough for everything they want. Most people simply end up either a) buying gold, or b) grinding for weeks on end. Neither sounds, nor is very fun. One decreases your real-life cash reserves, whereas the other decreases your real-life time reserves.

There are other ways of making gold in World of Warcraft using the Auction House, though, that are easy and don’t take a lot of time.

This refers to how fast you can kill a mob and move onto the next one. As mentioned in tip 1, you should be continuously killing when you are farming gold in WoW. That means, anytime spent sitting, drinking, or running to the next mob is wasted time. Consider killing easy enemies and use mana efficient spells when you are gold farming.

Also, you don’t necessarily need any real money to do this. Sometimes you can just find something listed on the Auction House that is only a few silver that might sell for one gold. If you do this enough times, things can really take off, and you really only spent your initial silver pieces.

If you are dithering on this question you probably have it in you to be a pretty hardcore gamer, but even then, the sheer convenience of the buy-and-get-it-now guide might overwhelm you. Personally, I have done it both ways.

If you are going to use this method, look for an add-on called Auctioneer. Auctioneer will scan the auction house for low priced items, so you don’t even have to spend time hunting through the category tree. Auctioneer keeps track of the average selling price of items, so you will know if something is way underpriced and can be bought low and sold high. You can even park a low level alt by the auction house with a couple of gold to run your scans and buy cheap items, so your main character doesn’t have to come back from grinding or questing.

To conclude, buying low and selling high at the Auction House should be part of your strategy if you hope to make gold in World of Warcraft. To make it easier to do, go out and get the Auctioneer add-on.
