Whenever a game has a currency or mechanism to buy things in-game, players become concerned with how to best acquire it, and preferably in large quantities. In World of Warcraft, gold drives the in-game economy and players spend hours every week trying to collect enough of it to play the rest of the game effectively. A select few take it one step further—they want to be on Azeroth's rich list, being able to buy whatever they want in-game, with gold being no concern.
Unfortunately, World of Warcraft is fraught with misinformation about how to obtain these levels of gold. This book aims to remove the fog and mystery of mega gold-making and teach the reader how to make the most gold, most efficiently.
Chapter 1, Setting Up Your Gold-Making Empire, explores how to lay the groundwork for your gold-making empire.
Chapter 2, Earning Your First Gold, gives an introduction to entry-level methods of making gold.
Chapter 3, Exploring Your Major Income Sources, explores your major sources of gold in-game, including farming, manufacturing, and the shuffle.
Chapter 4, Using Your Professions Effectively, provides explanations and guides to every major profession in the game.
Chapter 5, The Tools of the Trade, gives a comprehensive rundown of the add-ons and tools you'll need to maximize your gold-making.
Chapter 6, Understanding and Profiting from Market Behavior, explains how the market behaves in World of Warcraft and how to best profit from it.
Chapter 7, Expanding and Streamlining Your Empire, broadens your horizons and tells you how to conquer the World of Warcraft gold-making scene.
Chapter 8, The Final Stages of Becoming a World of Warcraft Gold Tycoon, gives advanced tips and tricks to give you an edge in gold-making.
An active World of Warcraft subscription and all the expansions up to, and including, Mists of Pandaria. Many of the techniques also require at least one level-90 character.
Any World of Warcraft player who is tired of copper pinching and wants to finally be able to buy anything they want in-game.
