Derek's Gold Mastery Guide Review

Derek's Gold Mastery Guide, is one of the newest WoW Gold Making Guides to become available recently. This guide promotes that it can help anyone at any level make close to if not more than 150 gold an hour in WoW. While this claim does appear to be outrageous, Derek's Gold Mastery guide does an exceptional job of providing step-by-step ways to farm plenty of WoW gold. Many other WoW Gold Farming Guides would do well to take notes on how Derek's Gold Mastery guide illustrates the art of WoW gold farming into completely legitimate and easy to follow steps.

Derek is the author of the Warcraft Riches Guide, hence why it is sometimes called Derek's Gold Mastery Guide. Derek has been playing World of Warcraft since the beginning and has mastered golf farming in Wow. Many of these secret methods he picked up by observing the online WoW gold famers who inhabit the WoW realms. These WoW gold farmers are very efficient in how they collect gold. They then create websites and offer the gold they farmed to other WoW players for a price. For many of these gold makers, this is their career. By watching these WoW gold farmers in action, Derek was able to pick up valuable secrets on how to quickly make huge amounts of gold in WoW.

Derek's Gold guide is divded into many smaller sections. This allows the user to determine which way they want to make use of to make obscene amounts of gold in WoW. One of the sections is the WoW Guide to Leveling Professions. This guide goes through each WoW profession and illustrates the fastest method to level each of the professions. Derek's Gold Mastery Profession Guide also explains how to use each profession to make the maximum amount of gold possible.

Other guides included as part of Derek's Gold Mastery guide is a section on the Auction House, a Fishing guide, and a General/Grinding guide. All of these guides provide easy to follow steps on how to make the most gold possible in WoW. Some World of Warcraft Gold Farming Guides only provide information on one piece of the WoW economy. The Warcraft Riches guide is the rare WoW gold book that provides plenty of information on how to make WoW gold through many different methods. Whether it's the Professions, the Auction House, or Grinding, Derek's Gold Mastery guide has ways to make large amounts of gold through all of them. Some of the secret tactics can even be used in conjunction to really see the WoW gold farming skyrocket.

When trying to find a good WoW gold guide, take into account what aspects of WoW are entertaining. If killing monsters is fun, then methods to make gold via monster killing should be considered. Just because a WoW gold guide makes claims of 200 or more gold an hour does not guarantee that the manner in which the gold is farmed will be fun. The Warcraft Riches guide offers many different ways of WoW gold farming so even if some of them are not interesting, there are plenty of other options available to maximize your gold farming efforts in WoW.

General Tips

This is my brief, dare I say, “guide” to not only faster leveling but keeping it exciting.

General Tips

Always Loop quests together
Travel is your enemy for speedy leveling all the way up to level 70. Chunk quests together and while your out and about get a couple of them done at a time (think 5 of 6), then return back to the quest hub. (I can see a guide being helpful here for those of you who haven’t done the quests enough to know where to go and what to do.)

Pick up a gathering profession
Nodes are usually guarded by a mob or pathing mobs, you will get loads of exp just clearing to gather these resources.

Cities are a timesink
So much to see and do that you will ride around aimlessly doing nothing for 30 minutes. You may decide to try and do an instance (wasting 15 minutes to get one or two people in your group – only to have the group disband from lack of interest), or you need an enchant, or you decide to raid the AH and level up cooking, or whatever you do you are actually wasting your alt leveling time. And if you have an active guildchat and you combine wandering around a city and chatting with your buddies, you will waste loads more time doing no leveling progression.
tip Keep a high level in the city for resource needs for you alts and always make this the last thing you do before logging.

Don’t go home every (two) level(s)
Remember travel is your enemy, and you don’t need the lastest and greatest upgrades to keep going at your quest hub site. Nor do you need the next “of the eagle” belt from level 30 to 32. You can do just fine without it.

The Meat N’ Potatos
The trick I have learned to leveling and enjoying leveling is to create a little bit of “overpowered” feeling somehow.

Set Goal levels for gear
I do levels 25, 40, and 58.

Before I start a new alt I will begin check on gear for ~level 25, I use my higher levels to enchant or enhance the items if possible. After I get plenty of pieces I proceed to create the alt. It is a sweet day when I ding 25, 40 and 58. **Many times I will switch specs upon these levels also to mix it up. Right now I have a 33 shaman I am working with who is restoration (with a 2hander), but I already have all my level 40 enhancement stuff ready, and I plan to start collecting elemental pieces for level 58.
Not only are the days sweet when you ding these gear levels, but you will find that planning ahead and maximizing your gear makes your gear last a lot longer, and you will not need to upgrade every few levels.

This is also a cognitive reward and motivation to see such an improvement when you reach these levels. It has a lot to do with how lacking your gear will be just before you hit another gear level, then how Overpowered you feel afterwards. Do not underestimate the Overpowered feeling you may burn through 2 levels in 90 minutes, just because you can’t believe how easy leveling just became and you feel unstoppable.

The 5 second rule
If your leveling a caster make sure you wanding the last bit of health so mana regen will begin right after kill, instead of 5 seconds after the kill.

Make two new alts at the same time!
If your getting a buddy to port to you Shatt at level 10, (which you should be doing to set your hearth) might as well get him to port another one also. Try and level two toons at the same time, the quests stay fresh this way (I love mixing up a caster and melee, because they play so differently). Try and keep one rested, so you are always questing in blue exp rather than purple.

/who , is your friend
Grind and soloing questing will get tedious, try and find someone already in the zone to quest with, because it will force you into using more spells from your spell book and you develop a better sense for the class your playing. (No one likes a solo player when he finally gets into an instance in BC). Don’t wait on your friends to arrive, just pick up someone out there, and if you friends come, then all the better!

Consumables
You should be using elixars and oils/weaponstones, they come cheap early and will fill the gaps your gear may be lacking just before a gear level, and make you all that more Overpowered just after a gear level.

Finally

Have a Vision
I have created and deleted 10 times as many toons as I have ever finished leveling to 70. The thing I discovered is the toons I created on a whim, never lasted. While those that I planned on and followed the “gear level” plan I adored, so now this is how I roll.

This is an example. This is my lastest, a gnome dagger rogue.

There are just a few nice touches on her at the moment (like the double unholy is killer at lower levels, mobs hit you for 1 instead of 16) , but you know what’s coming up right … level 25!!! Can’t wait!

If you create the “can’t wait” feeling, you will find that leveling goes really fast.

Hope this helps. PS, if your main goal in World of Warcraft is to get to the highest level as fast as possible, Joana's Horde Leveling Guide is what you need. You can also use mapmod v2 to make your leveling process even faster.

Selling Your Junks

Obviously one of the things that motivates players the most is earning gold. Gold gets you new equipment, better abilities, and in my opinion, just looks good in high quantities. So how do you make gold?

Mining is one way, but running instances like the deadmines combines mining to get bronze with lots of magic/wool/linen drops. And if you can run it alone, plenty of coin drops from those elites! I found out at an early level that large sums of money can be made with mining. Shortly after I found that linen stacks can go for 1-2g! I was shocked. I tested it over and over and with one stack of linen or wool with a buyout of 2g for linen and no buyout for wool can get you rich! Place both at starting bids of 10s and set for 24 hours.

The Deadmines are a goldmine for getting cash at low lvls. Bronze can even be smelted in mid instance! Magic items can be sold in AH or to venders and wool and linen are in heavy supply!

Looking For Gold?

There are a lot of ways to make good cash. You just have to find them.

Primals are a great way to make extra cash. If you farm any primal, (other than earth which sells for around 5g each) you can make about 150g/hour off of them if you consider the average sale price at around 20g.
you will also make around 50-80g in vendor trash, not to mention the chance of good blues that sell for 30-50g or so.

I am also an herbalist. this can add up to 40g from herbs and extra motes without much searching for herbs while farming anything.

Rep items are also a great thing to farm. Granted they might not have as large of a return as some other farming spots, but the creatures you have to farm are often close together and very easy to kill. If your a rogue you should pick pocket everything. Consider the fact that any humanoid/demon drops upwards of 20g and stolen money at lvl 68 to 70. with the drop going up to about 22 23g this turns out to be 40g on top of whatever other items the mob might drop. you also get items and boxes from pickpocketing this generates even more extra cash.

A good this to do while farming is to also know multiple spots to farm so you can mix it up because its never good to saturate your own market. I change spots about every 2 hours.

if your and alchemist you should always remember to get the primal earth to water transmute. you can buy a primal earth for about 5g and then make about 15-20g by making it into a water ever day. thats not bad for a minute and a half of work.

this is only a fraction of the ways in which to farm yourself cash. Now go out and find yourself even more ways. 300+g/hour is definately possible. i've done it.
