Zena's Pro Gold WoW Guide

ZENA'S PRO GOLD

WOW GUIDE

Like my mount? This is the Traveler's Tundra Mount. It has two extra
seats so other players can ride along, which is a convenient way to
run lower level characters through high level areas. What's really
cool is when you're not carrying other players the two extra seats are
occupied by vendors, and one of them is a repair vendor. Get this
mount and you never have to go back to town for repairs or supplies!
What's the down side? This mount cost me 17,000 GOLD. And you thought
a flying mount was expensive! Oh yeah, it's good to be rich.

I don't have a Skinner character myself, but if I did this would be
a place I'd want to go!

-------------------------

It's not worth making the trip all the way to Ferales and then out
to this island _just_ for mining in this cave. But if you happen to be
in the area and you're a Miner, well, I don't have to tell you how
hard Truesilver is to find.

-------------------------

This may be the most famous gold farming area in the game. Now that
Blizzard has cracked down on the Chinese gold farmers who used to rule
this place like street gangs and now that so many other players are
spending all their time in Northrend, it's time to revisit this
village of great coin, cloth and item drops.

-------------------------

You've probably seen ads on the Internet for World of Warcraft
guides that promise you can make thousands in gold every day with
their "secret" tricks. You've probably also seen ads on TV that
promise you can make millions of dollars in your spare time through
"secret" real estate tricks. Neither of those promises is true.

Sure, there are rare occasions when a person could buy real estate
at government auctions at greatly reduced prices, then sell the
property for a tidy profit. And there are times when you could buy
bargains on the WoW Auction House and resell those items for a chunk
of gold. But do you really think the people who advertise those phony
schemes are the first to discover these tricks?

Think about it. Millions of people play World of Warcraft all over
the world. AddOns have been created for the game that are specifically
designed to watch the Auction House. Every minute of every day on
every server there are thousands of players who are searching the AH
for deals. You simply cannot start a level 1 character, dash to the AH
and start making thousands of gold within a few hours. The people who
make that claim--and want you to buy their guide for $40 or $50 or
more--are lying.

THERE'S NO SECRET

My name is Jarvis Hooten. My main character's name is Zena. Zena's
Pro Gold WoW Guide tells the truth about making gold in World of
Warcraft, plus lots and lots of other tips about the game. The truth
is there are no "secret" tricks for making gold in WoW. There are
techniques and methods for making gold, but no secret tricks. Period.


Hmmm, if I don't have any secret tricks for making gold, then why
should someone buy my guide? Because learning the techniques and
methods for making gold takes time--a lot of time. I've done the
research for you, so my guide will save you many hours of trial and
error.

OKAY, SO HOW DO YOU MAKE GOLD IN WOW?

There are only five ways to make gold in World of Warcraft, and here
they are:

1. Quest rewards
2. Coin drops from mobs
3. Selling items to vendors
4. Charging fees for services
5. Selling items on the Auction House

1. Quest rewards are obvious. Everyone gets those. At maximum level
you get more gold in quest rewards instead of Experience points. I
know players who made the gold they needed to get their epic flying
mounts just by doing daily quests at level 70, back when 70 was
maximum level. It took them weeks and weeks of running quests over and
over. Now maximum level is 80. Good grief, do you really want to wait
till 80 to get your epic flyer? I fly past level 80 players who are
still on slow flyers and wonder how they can stand it. But if you're
okay with that, hey, it's your fifteen bucks a month, right? If you're
satisfied with just getting gold through quest rewards, then you don't
need my guide.

2. Coin drops from mobs: Most mobs only drop small amounts of coins.
You don't get rich just by killing mobs for the coins they drop. Or do
you? Chinese gold farmers made themselves famous by grinding mobs in
certain areas just for the high coin drops. I'll show you where those
areas are so you can try it for yourself.

3. Selling items to vendors: In the "old world" continents (Kalimdor
and Eastern Kingdoms), most of the so called "vendor trash" items
really are trash. Those gray items sell to vendors for such low prices
they're almost not worth picking up. Blizzard changed this in Outlands
and Northrend. Vendors are happy to pay a lot for junk items you pick
up in the expansion zones. This is not how you get rich, but it is one
of your sources for gold.

4. Charging Fees: Enchanters can charge a fee to Enchant another
player's gear. Lock pickers can expect tips for opening lock boxes.
High level players can charge low level players for runs through
instances. These are the three most common services for which players
can charge fees. There are others, such as a mage providing a portal
or a Warlock summoning a character for a fee, JewelCrafters cutting
gems for fees and so on. Charging a fee for your service is a nice way
to make a little bonus gold, but it's not the way to get rich.

5. Selling items on the Auction House: The Auction House is where
the money is. This is free enterprise and an open market at their
best. Of course, to make gold from the AH you have to have items to
sell. That's obvious, right? And to make big gold from the AH you have
to have valuable items to sell that other players really want to buy.
Where do you get these precious items that other players will gladly
pay high prices for?

SO HOW DO I GET RICH FROM THE AH?

There are four ways to get items to sell at the Auction House, and
here they are:

1. Killing mobs for item drops
2. Collecting items with Gathering Professions
3. Making items with Crafting Professions
4. Buy low, sell high items from vendors or the AH

1. Killing mobs for items drops is pretty obvious and fundamental,
although most of the mobs you kill do not drop items that will sell on
AH. Yes, there are those very rare Bind On Equip items that we all get
now and then if we kill enough mobs. And yes, you could go out killing
humanoids for hours and hours to collect cloth to sell on AH. (My
guide will explain how foolish THAT is!) There are, however, specific
items dropped by specific mob types that are worth the grind. I'll
explain what those items are, why they are valuable and show which
mobs drop them.

2. Collecting items with Gathering Professions: Using Gathering
Professions to gather materials is also an obvious and fundamental way
to get items to sell on AH. I've seen guides that say both your
character's Professions should be Gathering Professions to make gold.
They are WRONG. Sure, you can make gold by gathering minerals, herbs
and leathers and selling them on AH, but haven't you ever wondered
about who's buying those materials? Crafters buy those mats and turn
them into items they can sell for five times what your mats cost!
Still, it's your game; play it your way. If you're satisfied with
making gold by gathering and selling, gathering and selling for hours
on end, then you don't need my guide to tell you how to do that.
Besides, players like me need gatherers to provide us materials.
Thanks, gatherers, for all your hard work. Crafters are getting rich
by using the materials you gather!

3. Making items with Crafting Professions: Crafting is where the big
money is, folks. Crafting is also where most players get discouraged
or confused. You make gold in WoW through Professions. The game is
designed that way. It's the main reason Professions exist. But the
Crafting Professions are also the hardest part of the game to learn
and use effectively. I'll show you how to make Crafting Professions
sing and dance for you.

4. Buying items from vendors or the AH: Yes, I include playing the
Auction House because there are buy low, sell high opportunities if
you know what to look for. There are guides that claim you could be
making thousands of gold within hours of creating a level 1 character
simply by playing the AH. That is a flat out lie. I'll give you an
explanation of how to use the AH that is true and thorough, yet easy
to understand. You'll get to read about it, see pictures of it and
even watch videos on how to make gold with the Auction House, and
everything in my guides and videos is honest and legitimate. I tell
you straight up that not every technique in my guide is going to work
on every server. That's the beauty of WoW. Each realm truly is a world
of its own. My guide offers so many useful techniques, though, that
you're certain to discover ways that do work--and work very well--to
make gold for you and make your entire gaming experience more fun.

$ OKAY, HOW MUCH IS IT? $

I won't try to gouge you with the price of my guide and I won't hide
the price till you go to the purchase page (as some guide sellers do).
I'll tell you right up front it's $14.95. What do you get for that
price? More than you get from other guides that sell for three or four
times as much, that's for sure!

For $14.95 you will be given access to a download page. On that
page you will get Zena's Pro Gold WoW Guide; over a hundred pages of
easy to understand tips and techniques, not just for making gold but
also for getting the most out of the game. The guide is loaded with
pictures and graphics. In particular, you will learn one basic
strategy for using Crafting Professions that will likely change the
way you play the game forever.

You also get Zena's Zone Maps Guide. I took screen shots of every
zone in the game. These are not photos downloaded from some web site.
They are actual images from my computer screen. (Yes, I have the
"World Explorer" achievement. My main character has been to every area
of every zone, both Ally and Horde.) I have circled and highlighted
areas on those maps to show places of interest, places to avoid and,
of course, places to make gold!

Finally you will get videos, lots of videos. I usually play WoW on a
Mac. Non Mac users may not know this, but the game comes with a video
capture feature that only works on Macintosh computers. There are
third party applications you can get that will do video capture, of
course, but when it's integrated into the game the image quality is
remarkable. You will be able to expand the videos to full screen so
they will look exactly as the game looks on your screen. You will
watch as if you were playing my character yourself as we go to
specific places and do specific things that you can easily do when you
play your own character. You can pause, go back, skip ahead and
re-watch anything as much as you like.

LET ME IN!

WHAT MAKES ME AN AUTHORITY ON WORLD OF WARCRAFT?

I'll tell you right now I do not claim to be an authority on the
game. I'm not a WoW freak who plays 15 to 20 hours a day. (How do
those people make a living, anyway?) I have a job, family, friends,
you know--a life. I'm what I would call a WoW "Hobbyist," which means
I do play the game a lot, but not so much that it takes over my life.

Early on I discovered a knack for making gold in WoW. Other players
in my guild were complaining that they couldn't afford their mounts
while I had plenty of gold for mounts. I could easily afford my first
mount at 40, the earliest level you could get a mount at the time. At
60 I hopped straight onto an epic ground mount while most players end
up having to wait till level 63 or even 65 before they can afford that
faster mount. At 70 I already had plenty gold for a flyer and within
just a few days I moved up to an epic flyer.

That was on my main character. My alternates had it even easier. I
have several alternate characters, as many of us in WoW do, and two of
them are level 70+. Both my high level alts went straight to Artisan
Flying and an epic flying mount when they hit level 70. I didn't even
bother buying a slow flying mount for either of my high level
alternates. Why should I buy a slow flyer when I had more than enough
gold to go straight to fast flying?

I also discovered that I was having a much easier time with my
Professions than other players. This was especially true of
Enchanting. It seems everyone complains about the cost of materials to
build up Enchanting; not just players I know or talk to in the game,
but players who post comments to forums. Everyone seems to think it's
hugely expensive to have an Enchanter character. I found it to be just
the opposite. Being an Enchanter didn't cost me a lot of gold; it made
me a lot of gold!

What was I doing so differently from other players? Well, if I do
have one "secret" technique to share, this is it, and it is explained
in my guide. I don't think of it as a secret at all. Honestly, I can't
believe every player hasn't thought of it. Obviously most players have
not thought of this method, though, and that's why I decided to write
a guide about it. My method is simple and straight forward and it's
yours for $14.95.

HOW I REALLY LEARNED THE GAME

A couple years ago I was unfairly fired from a high profile job with
a major casino corporation. (I live in Reno.) It was so unfair and so
ugly that I filed a law suit and reported the corporation to
appropriate Nevada state agencies. No one at the wretched casino
corporation had the guts to tell the truth about what happened, so I
was unable to prove my case. Those cowards all wanted to keep their
cushy jobs, of course. (That's funny to me now because since then two
of the scumbags have been fired wanyway!)

During that time WoW became my escape. I qualified for unemployment
benefits--more proof that I was unjustly fired--so I was able to keep
the bills paid while I applied for jobs. I found myself with quite a
bit of time on my hands and WoW was a wonderful way to take my mind
off my troubles. For several months I often played over twelve hours a
day. I turned into one of those WoW freaks! I became a fierce
Battleground player, a weekly Karazhan raider and an adventurous
explorer of all things WoW.

It's important to note that I did not change my method or spend a
lot of extra time on making gold during that time. You don't have to
play the game 12 or more hours a day to get rich in WoW. For those
several months I really got into PvP Battlegrounds, which do not make
gold. In fact, doing Battlegrounds and raids costs your character
gold. Good thing I had a strong gold making method or my characters
would have always been broke!

It doesn't take 50 or more hours a week of play time to make plenty
of gold. However, playing that much did allow me to indulge deeply in
the game, and that made me much more prepared to write about it. I've
had time to go all over the continents of Azeroth, to check out every
possible grinding spot and explore every pocket of mobs. I'm a
curious, adventurous kind of person anyway, so it's in my nature to
get off the beaten path and see what I find. My guide explains
interesting places you may not have had time to investigate and shows
you great grinding spots you may not have had time to discover.

-------------------------

It's the best place to grind for high level materials but also the
most dangerous place to grind. Head to Wintergrasp for Crystals of all
types except Ice and other highly valuable items. Just keep in mind
that _everyone_ thinks they'll get rich by grinding in Wintergrasp. My
guide shows you how to take advantage of the "everyone's doing it"
mind set. In other words, since everyone else is doing it, maybe
Wintergrasp is _not_ the best place to grind!

-------------------------

Yes, Fishing is boring. And on many servers the price for high end
fish has dropped a lot now that WotLK has been out for a while.
However, if these fish are still selling for 40g - 50g per stack on
your server you could easily make 400g per hour from the one spot
shown in this video. Still think Fishing is boring?

-------------------------

Some players LOVE exotic pets. Here's a place you can just buy them
from a vendor then sell them on AH for ten times as much! This may or
may not work on your server, but it's worth looking into.

-------------------------

Fishing is boring. There's no getting around that. Here's a simple
way to level up your Fishing skill AND make a little gold without
feeling as if you're wasting a bunch of time.

-------------------------

Motes? Aren't those so last expansion ago? That's what a lot of
players think, which is exactly why motes are excellent gold makers.
Take a look at your AH. On many realms Motes are selling for MORE than
Crystals. Nagrand is the place to find almost all mote types.

-------------------------

If you don't have a flying mount yet or you just want to focus on
Fire Elementals, this is the place to grind for Motes Of Fire.

-------------------------

The only kind of motes you can't get in Nagrand are Motes Of Mana.
For those you have to go to Netherstorm. This video shows the hot spot
in Netherstorm fro grinding Motes Of Mana.

-------------------------

If you're an Herbalist this is a gold grinding haven. Herbalists get
to loot AND gather from these mobs. Don't think there's much market
for Motes Of Life any more? My Tailoring character buys them by the
dozen every month. There are sure to be players like me on every
server.

-------------------------

I keep seeing posts and messages about grinding for Motes Of Water
in Silmyr Lake just outside of Shattrath. This is outdated. If you're
going to farm Motes Of Water, get your character leveled up to 70, get
a flying mount and head for the lake in Skettis.

-------------------------

The Crusader Enchantment is very popular among mid level melee
characters, especially twinks. Enchanters cannot learn this ability
from trainers or buy it from a vendor. This skill can only be learned
from a scroll that only drops from one place in the game.

-------------------------

If you're around level 60 - 64 and Outlands is just too crowded or
you want t change of scenery, try grinding here for lots of coins,
cloth, items and easy Exp points.

-------------------------

This isn't actually a great grinding spot, although it isn't bad.
Few players ever venture into this dark and mysterious place any more
after moving on from Winterspring, so I thought you might enjoy a
tour. Besides, I wanted to show off an amazing drop I got here once!
