World Of Warcraft Secrets

One of the easiest ways to make gold in WoW is through the Auction House. When I started out playing this game more than 3 years ago, I was insanely poor just like most low level players. I couldn’t afford anything I wanted; I never even used a potion until after level 40.

Three years later, I still see many new players struggling to make much WoW gold. I want to share a few tips that will help you guys get started.

From my first time visiting a major city, I drooled over the items on Auction House. I could tell from that moment that gold could be made from it. The idea is simple, everyone knows you buy low and sell high.

There was one predicament though, I gambled on the items that I purchased. I never knew if a profit could be made from any of the items that I bought. Surprisingly, I was still making a profit.

A huge time saver was to create a level 1 alternative character, I left him in the Ironforge. Every day I would logon to him to do my biddings on the Auction House.

The gold in my stash increased as time went by and as I become familiarize myself with the Auction House. My alt started with a measly 50 silvers, by the time my main reached level 40, I was able to purchase my normal mount right away and still have 30-40 gold left.

Most of my purchases from the Auction House were not weapons or armors. I avoided them because they usually have large deposit fees, so if they don’t sell, the deposit fee is lost.

Enchanting shards and cloths were some of the most thought after items, so that’s what I focused on. The best thing about bidding on enchanting mats is that there is no deposit fee.

When addons such as the Auctioneer came out, I was overjoyed; it was a huge time saver as it sorts out potentially profitable items.

I made tons of mistakes my first play through; I bought many items that never sold. In fact, to this day, a few of my alts still have some pre-BC items that are completely useless now. I just keep them for memorial purposes (anyone remember the uber Beasts deck, maybe dungeon 1 item sets?).

You live and learn from your mistakes right?

What’s the rush? People want to blast to level 70 ASAP, but then they skip all the goodness along the way. Tours to the Auction House, the Joy of Alts, and all the other things that are there to discover in the World of Warcraft. Slow down, take your time, and save yourself from the stress of this fast leveling craze.

Take your time, get to know the details of Azeroth, and get to know each level in detail. The Blizzard developers have spent a lot of time, money, and effort to build it for you, so kick back and enjoy it! With that understanding in mind I offer you these five easy tips to level slowly.

1) Every time you get a new quest make sure to read the quest in detail, and then hop over to Thottbot.com, lookup that quest in their system, and read everything about it, including all the comments.

You’ll gain valuable insight into the quest and how to finish it and maybe some greater understanding of the backstory behind the quest. Best of all you won’t be dashing hither and yon getting stressed about leveling quickly.

2) Go AFK (Away From Keyboard) as much as possible, especially if you’re on a PvP (Player VS. Player) server. While AFK you can read your email, watch a video, browse the WoW forums, and so on. In addition, if you’re on that PvP server then the occasional run back to your body will help to keep your leveling times reasonable.

3) The Auction House is one of the greatest slowing mechanisms in the entire game (or any game, for that matter.) Every time you level make a trip over to the Auction House and see what spiffy new gear is available for your character.

Constantly upgrading your gear will have a couple of highly desirable effects: Time not spent adventuring is time well spent and the constant acquisition of new gear will insure that your bank account stays at a reasonably low level.

Window shopping can be as much a hobby in the World of Warcraft as it is in the real world. Browsing the Auction House, several times per level, even if your gold supply is lacking, is great fun. Who knows what you’ll find the next time you look?

4) Never ever even so much as glance at a WoW leveling guide. These are intended to level you from 1 to 70 as quickly as possible and isn’t just too much stress? Why use someone else’s experiences and take only 6 days (of in-game time) to get to level 70 and get a heart attack from all the stress?

Take 6 months instead and enjoy the game. Explore a bit, enjoy the scenery, and let the Type A speedsters eat the stress of the fast leveling.

5) Here’s the best tip: Play as many alts (alternate characters) as possible. The World of Warcraft gives you 50 slots to use for your characters so take full advantage of that. There’s nothing wrong with having 40+ characters between level 1 and 13.

Why not roll a Rogue or Hunter, or whatever class, for each race in the game that allows that class? For example, Rogues can be Orcs, Trolls, Undead, Blood Elves, Night Elves, Gnomes, Dwarves, or Humans so play one of each.

Not only will you gain a deeper understanding of the Rogue class (or whichever class you’re playing,) but you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the game world and how the different races relate to it.

Besides, eight level 15 characters is 120 total levels! 70 levels in just one character? Who needs that?

By following the above WoW Leveling Guide (and it works for other MMO games, as well) you will find yourself with enough time to enjoy the rest of the game. Explore the world, talk to new NPCs, take a little time to PvP, you’ll be amazed at how much you’ll be able to do if you’re not stressing about the next level.

Are you tired of seeing that yellow flash when you level? The author certainly is after having amassed many levels across many alts. Other people write WoW leveling guides to show you how you can get to 70 is 5 or 6 days of in game time. Oviously suffering from ADD they even make videos of tjheir leveling speed, but who needs it?
