One of the quickest ways to get ahead in a game is to learn from experienced players. This is where World of Warcraft guides come in - experienced WoW players who have been there and done that can share their expertise with newcomers.

World of Warcraft guides can help you on the quickest path to level up your character, and gain gold and rare items. WoW levelling can be time consuming, difficult and - frankly - boring. Speed levelling is the main aim of many new players, eager to start the real challenges that only high level World of Warcraft characters can access.

There is a wide range of available World of Warcraft guides. From the very basic high level overview, through to incredibly detailed step by step walkthroughs that cover all relevant aspects of the game. There are detailed guides for all character types, and whether Horde or Alliance you can find a guide to suit your needs.

The usual way to gain levels in WoW is by grinding. Repeatedly killing the same enemies or completing the same mission again and again is known as grinding. Although you can gain lots of experience and some loot by grinding, it is incredibly boring. Faced with having to grind to gain a few more levels, many players despair. The grind in WoW removes all the fun of the game and quickly puts off newer players who aspire to own rare loot and compete in large, challenging raids.

World of Warcraft guides choose specific quests to help you gain the most experience in the shortest space of time. Focussed on solo play, a side effect of most guides is that they teach you a lot about the mechanics of the game, helping you become a more accomplished player. By understanding the more arcane and complex parts of WoW, you can quickly master the more challenging quests.

The real question is - why do you play the game? Is it to meet up with friends? For enjoyment? To escape the pressues of life, living within the fantasy world of Azeroth? Why waste your game time grinding away on the same boring quests and tasks, when you could be enjoying the real risks and rewards of high level quests.

Reaching the higher levels within WoW is becoming more and more difficult for the casual player. By using a World of Warcraft guide you can easily enjoy the high level, more challenging aspects of gameplay, without sacrificing your personal life to the game. Good luck!

If you are reading this, you already know what World of Warcraft (otherwise known as WoW) is, and why it is so important to have gold in World of Warcraft. You use it to buy everything, and without it, there is limited to no fun in the game! It can be a challenge to acquire gold, but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually quite easy.

Following are some of the most important things you can do in World of Warcraft to ensure you will be absolutely overflowing with gold and the envy of every player you encounter!

WoW Gold Tips:

Tip 1) Even when you enter World of Warcraft as a level 1, get bags. All that you can carry. If you have a high level character already, buy the biggest bags you can and send them to your new character. This is a simple and easy to understand step that most people fail to use!

If you have all 4 bag slots filled up right away, you can:

A)continue questing without having to return to sell off items so you will level faster .

B) More importantly, be able to make much more gold as you will not have to delete items to make room for others. You can sell all your loot when you return for maximum profit even from the very beginning!

Tip 2) Even though crafting professions (Leatherworking, jewelcrafting, tailoring and blacksmithing) are temping to pick up, avoid them like the plague!

If you want to drown in your own gold, pick up two gathering professions! For example, get herbalism and skinning or skinning and mining or mining and herbalism.

Then, SELL THE LOOT YOU GET! The Auction House is always alive with activity and buyers trying to get their hands on leather, ore and herbs. People are LAZY, or they simply don’t have the profession required by their trade skill! So, you’re the hero they needed to deliver the goods to them, and you pull a hefty profit at the same time!

*The above alone is one of the greatest techniques there is to massive gold earning! Seriously… try it.

Tip 3) Ties closely to the previous tip, but often overlooked as well. This tip can alone can also earn you substantial gold income in World of Warcraft.

Now, enchanting is often seen as a crafting skill stated above, you want to avoid these, right? Well, not when it comes to enchanting! You just won’t use enchanting to Enchant! “Huh?” It’s simple… think about it.

As you know, when you get a rare drop in the world, you can disenchant it and get the dust or diamond used in enchanting out of it. Instead of using these to enchant your own items or others items, SELL THEM ON THE AUCTION HOUSE!

That’s right! People are always wanting enchants, however most people do not enchant… and most enchanters don’t have the materials required to make the enchant that people want! So what do they have to do?

Check the Auction House! This is, again, where you are the hero and in exchange for your “heroics” you get a large profit margin! Cha-Ching! Gold ahead! So save your rare drops and sell the disenchanted remains instead!

Earning gold in World of Warcraft is not as difficult as it seems. With the tips above, you are more than well on your way to being the envy of your entire server!

World of Warcraft players have a lot of activities available at any given time but what about the times when you just don’t feel like questing or are waiting in the queue to get into an instanced dungeon? That is a good time to raise your trade skills in WoW.

There are several different trades available to gamers including tailoring, skinning, leatherworking, blacksmithing, engineering, enchanting, herbalism, jewelcrafting and mining. Tailoring is a good skill to take up, particularly if you are a cloth-wearing class like a priest, magician or warlock. Looting most humanoid monsters in World of Warcraft, gives you a very good chance of getting pieces of cloth that can be tailored into cloth armor and various other valuable items such as bags. Bags sell very well in the auction houses that can be found in most major cities of Norrath. Cloth may also be found in chests or awarded in World of Warcraft quests.

Skinning and leatherworking kind of go hand in hand. The corpses of beasts may be skinned to provide leather for the leatherworking trade. Hunters and shamans wear leather armor until level 40 when they can start to wear mail armor. Rogues and druids use leather armor for their entire careers. Leatherworkers can craft leather armor, ammo pouches, quivers and other useful items.

The mining trade is performed by using a mining pick on nodes of ore that can be found scattered all over. Blacksmiths use metal ore to make chain and plate armor and weapons. Warriors and paladins wear mail armor until level 40 after which they can wear plate. Death Knights begin their careers at level 55 and so always wear plate armor. Engineers use mined ores to make all sorts of handy gadgets. Jewelcrafters use ore to make jewelry and prospect ores to acquire gems to ply their trade.

Herbalism is the art of picking various plants that can be found in all World of Warcraft environments. These plants can then be fashioned into potions to perform a number of things including restoring mana and health. Enchanters can add statistics to improve armor and weapons. They can also disenchant items and gain valuable materials for more enchantments.

Each of these skills has advantage and disadvantages and some can be difficult to get to grandmaster status but there is a great deal of World of Warcraft gold to be made if you stick it out.


imagesIn addition to gathering gold, farming will enable you to gather experience and eventually level up as well. This is an important aspect of the game as level gaps can make a huge difference between winning and losing a battle with the enemy. But for some, levelling up is a very difficult task and sometimes no matter what they do, they can’t their levels high fast enough. If you are one of those who are having trouble in the game, then perhaps World of Warcraft Guides can help you in your quest.

World of Warcraft Guides will show you how to effectively level up in the shortest amount of time necessary. They show you where you should farm at certain levels and what your item stats should be to maximize the efficiency of your character. At the same time, World of Warcraft Guides are there to provide you with the most important information there is, which is what to expect after you take a step forward.

Most beginners fail in missions and quests because they lack the experience to know what to expect. World of Warcraft Guides provide you with that information so you can better prepare for what’s to come your way.

The battle for Azeroth wages on. Threats come in from different directions and you should be prepared to defend yourself and your territory. This means you have to level up quickly so that you can match strength and power with the enemy. World of Warcraft Guides will help you do just that.
