One of the problems that World of Warcraft players face is that they need large amounts of in-game gold to be able to afford many of the necessities of WoW life. From the mundane respeccing between a PvP and Raid build, to being able to buy an Epic Flying Mount, players often struggle to afford both necessities and luxuries.
It’s no wonder that players buy gold. However, buying gold has its own drawbacks. Often gold sellers get their gold illicitly, installing keyloggers on their victims computers and stealing from their World of Warcraft account. What’s worse is that often the victim is someone who has visited the gold sellers website to buy gold in the first place!
Buying gold is a little like playing Russian Roulette with your World of Warcraft account.
The safest option then is for the player to gather their own gold. The problem is that it’s not always easy to know the fastest way to do this. It often takes a lot of grinding and time.
Enter Warcraft Millionaire, a guide for World of Warcraft players that provides information and assistance in the difficult task of gathering gold. The author of this guide, Brad Johnson, claims that he has reached the gold cap on multiple characters (the gold cap is approximately 214,748 gold and change) and has in fact made over 1 million gold in World of Warcraft.
Warcraft Millionaire consists of 7 PDF documents totaling 207 pages. The titles of these documents are:
- Warcraft Basics
- 1-60 Gold Guide
- 60-70 Gold Guide
- Auction House Domination
- Daily Quests Guide
- Grinding Guide
- Limited Items Report
All of the guides are very well written. There’s a lot of information presented in Warcraft Millionaire, and it is laid out in a consistent and straightforward manner. Brad Johnson has approached the content with a easy to read conversational style of writing. World of Warcraft Millionaire is not a dull treatise in gold farming.
As is to be expected with this many documents, there is a little repetition across a couple of them, but overall this isn’t a big deal and is generally kept to a minimum.
Warcraft Millionaire isn’t just a great guide for figuring out how to make large amounts of gold in World of Warcraft. It’s also a great guide for new or uninformed players who aren’t familiar with certain aspects of the game. For instance, Warcraft Millionaire tells how and where to find some of the rare pets that are available, and how much they are worth.
In fact, Johnson has presented a lot of information, including the locations of pets, bosses, rares, and many other items in a number of tables. Again these are well set out and easy to follow.
Also of importance to note is that Warcraft Millionaire is fairly well up to date as of this review.
Unlike other gold making guides that I have read, World of Warcraft Gold Guide presents more than just one or two methods of making gold. Johnson has provided information on effectively using the auction house, the best locations to grind, and has rated the daily quests according to effectiveness. The 1-60 Gold Guide is great for lower level players to start making gold from the early levels, starting around 20.
If you are finding it difficult to come up with enough gold to buy your mount, respec your talents, or even just to afford your spell upgrades, I recommend Warcraft Millionaire to get you started on the way to a World of Warcraft fortune.
