A Bite Sized Guide to Making Gold in World of Warcraft

Should we need a demonstration of World of Warcraft’s success, the huge scale of its user base would suffice. Zillions of people from everywhere in the world enjoy playing this online role playing game. Given that you’re reading this article, you probably are among those that play -or are starting to play- this massive gaming hit.

So you should already know how crucial is gold for your character. If not, you are going to discover this aspect quite soon. Just like in real life, gold grants buying power, and buying items make the virtual life a good deal easier. Gold is also needed whenever you want to make your character stronger, just as gyms and personal trainers get paid to make our reals selfs stronger. And guess what? You need gold to gain skills, something that expensive real world schools call tuition fees. World of Warcraft is no different in those aspects.

Now, there’s yet another parallel to real world money concerns in World of Warcraft: the hope to get rich in no time. Just like you are able to see heaps of websites promoting internet marketing guides that assure to turn anyone into a billionaire overnight, the World of Warcraft gamers are given their share of guidebooks, confidential reports, and miracle schemes claimed to bring in World of Warcraft gold quickly.

There’s nothing unreasonable in desiring to gain true or virtual income. But there’s a well known answer to the “how do I make money” question: by doing hard work, and having the patience to wait for our action’s resultss. Obviously there’s always a chance to win a lottery, but the likeliness of getting there is not something I would build something upon.

In real life you would be willing to take on any kind of job whilst you are starting your career. In World of Warcraft there’s no difference: you have to finish quests, frightful journeys, and there you’ll find the gold you’re searching for. It won’t be awarded by a magic trick, however: you’ll have to earn it.

As you go ahead and execute your quest, monsters and foes will attempt to kill you. So do not feel bad whenever you kill them instead, and take away their possession, be them powerful magic items, weapons or the ever sought for gold. Fighting, you’ll also gain experience, or more exactly, the experience points needed to level your character.

The items you get this way, are called drops and can be sold to other players by entering auction houses and offering them. Since you’ll be doing quite a lot of this quest, loot and sell routine, it’s quite a good idea to equip your character with a large bag. This way you can carry many items with you when you stop looting and proceed towards the Auction House to profit from them.

It would be a shame to duel and win only to have to leave those precious properties on the battleground simply because you lack something so basic as a large bag. Also, don’t overlook the importance of tools or properties you may want to keep for yourself without selling. The more items you keep, the more space you’ll need or you’ll be forced to choose which of your valuable possessions is less valuable for you and drop it in the middle of nowhere.

So in brief, even if this begins to look like an ad for a travel and luggage manufacturer rather than a World of Warcraft guide: get a bigger bag and acquire it as early as possible in the game, well ahead of when you are going to need it. You’ll find that this basic tip will give you quite an advantage during all your questing career.
