Secret #1 - Blacksmithing

One of the secrets to making big money on an ongoing basis with the Blacksmithing professions is to make items that need renewing. By doing this you will eventually have an ongoing flow of revenue. A couple of examples of expendable items Blacksmiths can make are sharpening stones and grinding stones.

Secret #2 - Enchanting

Another profession that can make some decent gold in WoW is Enchanting. You'll find that there is a huge market on all servers for enchanting materials such as Shards and Dust. To make the most profit with this profession you should consider focusing in disenchanting instead of enchanting.

You can use your disenchanting skills to make stacks of materials for other enchanters that are too lazy to get them themselves.

Secret #3 - Engineering

Like Blacksmithing, the best things to make as an Engineer are the items which are regularly used. Bomb's, Explosives, and Fireworks and great examples of these.

Secret #4 - Small Pet Vendors

For some reasons WoW players love small pets, this creates a unique opportunity for you to make money in WoW is by selling small pets. Simple travel through Azeroth and pick up as many small pets as you can, then sell them in the Auction House.

Another way that you can use pets to make money if by farming the, Rare pets such as the Dragonhawks and Drakelings sell for big profits.

Secret #5 - Instance Runs

There are a good number of instances in WoW that can be used to farm green items. Sell these in the Auction House or disenchant them for the materials they provide. Once you've reached level 70 or above you'll be able to instances alone, you can make a lot of gold by doing this.

The 5 tips mentioned above are simple but can be very profitable if you're willing to dedicate a little time to apply them. Always remember that if you want to be mega rich in WoW - you'll need to be prepared to work a little for it.

World of Warcraft gold guides are available all over the place and from a bunch of different people. Because there are so many you have to be selective in the process. Let's go over a few must haves for any good WoW gold guide.

World of Warcraft gold guides have to have certain things that make them worth the buy. The first thing is the size of the primary guide. Now that sounds like a no-brainer, but let me quickly explain. When you buy a gold guide, it usually comes with more than one WoW guide, there is the main guide and then the supplemental guides. That's why the primary one is so important. Look for at least 200 pages for the main one, that is just an approximation but I have found that if they're at least 200 pages it means they usually have nice maps, nice screenshots and detailed walkthroughs.

Also make sure the WoW gold guide package has at least 2 supplemental guides. One definitely has to be an Auction House guide, and another should be a fishing manual of some sort. I chose those two because it is in mastering the Auction House where you will make most of your big bucks. You must be able to understand the market and know when demand is high for your supplies. Fishing is a overlooked way to profit, the fishing manual should teach you at the very least which fish are the most profitable, where to find them, and what you need to do to level up the Fishing Profession to be able to get the rod and bait to attract the expensive fishes.

A good World of Warcraft gold guide package should also have a mob chart, to find the profitable mobs. If used right, this is easy gold. Ideally a mob chart has the mob levels, the mob locations, what the mobs drop, and what is the easiest way to kill them. The mob chart is a gold mine when used in conjunction with quests.

Quest walkthroughs are also a good addition to a complete World of Warcraft gold guide package. Quests can be very profitable if you know what you get when the quest is completed. That's why the walkthroughs are important because you don't waste time on quests that aren't profitable. The quests walkthroughs should focus only on the most profit making ones.

This cannot be overlooked, it should have a members forum or at a minimum you should have the ability to contact the author personally for help. This is self-explanatory.

There you go, that is the basic criteria you need for a good World of Warcraft gold guide. Best of luck!

Mages are sought after members of most groups in WoW. Their intelligence buff coupled with their ability to provide foods that regenerate health and mana are some of their most sought after characteristics. The Mage is also famous for its burst DPS.

When comparing a Mage to other classes, you'll notice that Mages definitely lacks something when it comes to hit points. The are also far more limited in their fighting than other classes such as Warlocks and Hunters who have pets, the ability to heal themselves when hurt (Priests, Shaman, and Druids), they don't even have heavy armor like Paladins and Warriors do. What the Mage has is control In order to successfully level a Mage you'll need to learn how to master this.

Mages, like all other WoW classes have three skill trees. For Mages, the skill trees are Arcane, Fire, and Frost. Frost is the skill that has most control out of the three. Arcane and Fire both lack a lot in terms of control but can be devastating for opponents.

While frost may not give you the massive hit that Arcane and Fire can, you will have a lot more control of the situation. Some talents allow your chill effects to actually freeze the target for a short time, you can also increase the time the chill lasts for and stun your target. Frost can be very effective to use when levelling solo.

A tactic that I have used often (one that works very well for me) when leveling my Mage's is to go out to an area where there a plenty of mobs, get them around you and the go for them with Frost Nova. This will root them still in one place. You should then follow this up with Blizzard (make sure you're out of melee range) to do massive damage.

Some players may argue that you should always go for mobs that are your level, I don't see it like that however, lets play out two different scenarios.

In scenario one we will assume I'm out fighting mobs my own level. Given I don't have strong armor and the mobs hit hard, I'll have to take them out one at a time. At an estimate lets say I can kill one every 3 minutes, that means I'd get through 20 in an hour all going well. At 200 points per kill, I'll have a grand total of 4000 experience points after an hours killing.

In scenario 2 we will head out into a zone where there are a heap of mobs that are all green to me. I start rounding them up 5 at a time and going at them by freezing them and then using Blizzard. I'll earn about 500 experience points for each group of mobs that I kill. I kill these off at about the same time it took me to kill 1 in scenario 1. I can therefore make 10000 experience points per hour compared to 4000 in scenario 1. I'll also get to loot a heap more mobs meaning I'll be able to make a lot more cash.

Leveling a Mage in World of Warcraft can seem like an arduous task, especially given that Mages don't have the abilities to heal themselves, don't have pets, and have low hit points. It's not as tough as it seems however. If you take the time to practice the art of control, you'll see that you can do massive damage in short time periods.
