Becoming Paris Hilton Rich
Paris Hilton doesn’t use a bronzer when she tans. She uses a golder.
Make 12,500 gold in an HOUR! Can you believe it?
Well, you shouldn’t.
Look on Youtube for WoW Gold Guides and you’ll find more positive results that Paris Hilton’s STD test. Each video makes quite impressive claims of holding the secret to making thousands of gold per hour. And who doesn’t like making money, am I right? Bling bling and all that.
Here’s where your bubble takes a bursting. The good news is that each video is right. The bad news is that each video is also wrong. I know, confusing. It’s a contrast of terms, like Paris Hilton reading anything that doesn’t have pictures.
Fascinating. Please tell me more.
It doesn’t matter which vid you peep, the content boils down to the same conclusion. The cha-ching isn’t a guaranteed amount, calculated by how much gold drops in the zone/instance. No, the big money comes from selling various drops on the Auction House. Theoretically speaking, you could make the gold the videos claim if the drops sell for what they say. But this is the Auction House we’re talking about. WoW Economics 101 states that each server economy is different. What sells for thousands on one server, sells for hundreds on another.
Here’s a prime example.
Best Death Knight Professions in Patch 5.1
Best Profession for any class – Pool Boy.
I have been embracing my self-appointed role of Death Knight fanboy to a disturbing degree as of late. I’m levelling multiple DK’s, which means I’m not only a masochist, but I’m visiting the Noxxic website quite a bit. Noxxic has some great class guides, which definitely helps me crank out every drop of awesome from my Death Knights without getting so frustrated that I start gargling drain cleaner. Since I mostly run solo grinding/levelling encounters, I don’t really need to be all that cutting edge. I can live with respectable. I’ll check out specs and rotations so that while I might not be great, I’m good enough.
But ever since my Alliance DK became a member of the expensive and exclusive Brawler’s Guild, I thought I should tweak him as much as possible to avoid getting my ass handed to me by swamp donkeys like Bruce.
I will use your head as a codpiece, gator.
Anyway, while giving the Noxxic site a good once over I noticed something I hadn’t seen before. They have actually gone and recommended the best Profession for your class spec. Now the concept of “best” is subjective, but so is getting your ass kicked when you don’t have to and therefore makes the section worth a look. The Blood spec professions were no surprise, but what they suggest as professions for Frost and Unholy really surprised me. I’m not sure if I’ll drop the gold to relearn my professions (unless I can use those professions to make my gold back), but here is what Noxxic recommends:
