Blacksmiths can’t make gold?

If you have a character with Enchanting who can DE Northrend greens, this most definitely isn’t the case. My wife used this method to amass gold until she felt bored. It’s practically a cheat code for infinite gold. I used it as well while I was notching Blacksmithing. The “secret” lies in the almighty Notched [...]

Profession guides are da poop

As I’ve been levelling my cute little midget of destruction a.k.a gnome death knight, I’ve also been trying to keep up with his professions. Since my wife has stopped playing, I’ve chosen to go with Blacksmithing and Mining since I don’t have those two professions on my active characters now. Mining was initially tough to [...]

Where is the best place to farm…

Arctic fur? Frost lotus? Titanium? Any other non-bop item? How many times have you heard your guildies ask this question? Every single time someone asks me this, I give them the same reply… The Auction House. This is especially true when the item in question is a “rare drop”, like those mentioned above. You could [...]

A new milestone has been reached… and best Heroic Nexus ever

With the coming of a new year, comes the breaking of new records. This weekend, a new milestone was quietly reached amidst the wave of new players. Yannie has surpassed the 100,000 gold mark >.< And she did it by levelling up her warrior’s blacksmithing to 440 in order to craft a Titansteel Destroyer for [...]

(She Says) Paying for Skillups = Paying for Torture

Jerks and idiots make me really dislike the human interaction aspect of WoW. So when I see people advertising in trade that they would pay 50g if an enchant gives them a skill up, I can only imagine it to be equivalent to paying someone to give me a slap on the face. The trauma of levelling [...]

Opportunity cost: Part 2

Gevlon at Greedy Goblin has a series of posts up about how to help the “middle-class” of WoW earn more gold. By this, he means those people who are constantly poor but are at least trying to actively learn ways to increase their gold resources. His first post was to advise them to download and [...]

(She Says) Deflation in Wow

Many bloggers have noticed that deflation is depressing prices in the WoW Economy and they have offered several theories of why it is so. Tobold thinks that easy access to raid gear means fewer people bother to spend on items to improve their current gear. A low demand theory. The WOWEconomist theorizes that while the [...]

Leveling Alchemy (375-450)

This post is specially for Psin. Most of the elixirs and pots will not make money (maybe if you are potion/ elixir spec), but can be easily sold at the AH to recoup cost. Skill Item Mats Comments 375-385 Pygmy Oil (Pygmy Suckerfish x1) *20 Make this till grey. It’s needed for flasks. You make [...]

(She Says) Level your Craft

After levelling up leatherworking the other day, I have to say that many powerlevelling guide for professions are pretty useless. Most of the time, they are just brainless lists of what takes the least mats and are guarenteed a skill-up (i.e orange recipe), without consideration for the value of the item created. I could easily [...]

Goblins join the ranks of the master race… second to Gnomes!

Just found out about a very good blog called Greedy Goblin, mostly about how to make gold in WoW but also based on very intelligent insights which I fully agree with. One of the best Greedy Goblin posts is this one about helping other people. When I’m playing WoW, I’m constantly befuddled by the kind of requests for [...]
