20 Days of Gold Making: Day 10–Do You Farm Materials? Why? Why Not? And Which Ones, Where?

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this many times before not only on this blog, but on my Twitter and on /r/WoWEconomy as well, but I hate farming. Hate it hate it hate it. Always have, probably always will. It always has just seemed like too much work, and usually for too little reward. It’s not …

20 Days of Gold Making: Day 7–If You Were Starting Over Again…

If you were starting over again (maybe on a new server perhaps), how would you start building some capital & what goal would you set yourself? Just a quick disclaimer here, I would never opt to start fresh on a server. If for some reason I ever decided to leave my current server (and it …

20 Days of Gold Making: Day 3–What Were the First Techniques/Tricks/Tips You Used When Starting Out?

I mentioned on day one that the one of the first things I did to make gold was to go flying around Northrend mining ore, and then either selling that ore or prospecting the ore and selling the gems. What I didn’t admit is that I’d often go farming mobs in Icecrown, simply killing group …

20 Days of Gold Making: Day 2 – If you set yourself a goal, what was your goal & at what point did you set it?

I touched on this in my previous post in the series, but my first gold making goal was the, then prestigious, Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth. I had seen my Guild Master at the time sporting one, and was baffled that anyone in the game could make that much gold to afford such a thing. When I …

This post is part of Cold’s Gold Blogging Carnival and Day 1 of Nev of Auction House Addict’s 20 Days of Gold Making. I’ve been making gold for a long time, and I can’t really recall when I started. I know I was making gold before Cataclysm (can’t believe that’s over two years ago now, …

Why Gold Has a Bigger Impact on the Game Than Many Players Think

Whenever the issue of gold is brought up it seems at least one person in the discussion has to have the knee-jerk reaction of “Well it’s not like gold is used for anything. I mean besides repairs and gems/enchants/potions/flasks/etc., what do you need it for?” First of all, that’s a lot of stuff to spend …

The results are in for the second annual World of Warcraft Gold Survey. I’d like to open with a personal note to thank everyone who helped make the survey such a success, not only this year but last year as well. When I started the survey last year I never dreamed it would evolve to …
