World of Warcraft players, with the release of the Burning Crusade expansion now have the World of Warcraft Jewelcrafting to create necklaces, rings, crowns and many other items that were previously only acquired from loot drops and quest rewards.

As in Diablo II you can socket items to enhance your armor. The Jewelcrafting profession is used to carve gems to fit into sockets. You can increase armor enhancements by adding jewels to sockets the enhancement level is based on the type of jewels used. Most usable gems come from jewelcrafting although some dangerous monsters drop usable gems.

Any character can add gems to a socketed item, this the only alteration allowed. You can’t add sockets, change or remove sockets from any item. Once you have your jewel from a jewelcrafter, shift-right-clicking the item you wish to place the jewel in then drop the jewel in the socket of the window that pops up. After you have placed the jewel just click the socket gems button and create the new item. If you are replacing a old jewel with a new jewel the old jewel will be completely destroyed.

Because of this, you want to attain as much gold as possible as quickly as you can. But what exactly are you willing to do in order to collect your gold?

Farm for WoW Gold Using These Techniques

by Seth Symonds

World of Warcraft has 14 different professions to choose from, one of which is Engineering. In this guide I am going to give and overview of the Engineering profession as well as some tips and tricks as to how you dominate this profession and make a heap of gold in the process.

The Engineering Profession can be learned by all classes in WoW but Engineering is, in my opinion best suited to the Hunter. The reason I say this is that Hunters primary weapons make full use of what Engineers produce - scopes, gun, bullets, etc.

If you choose to be a Gnome you’ll be able to get a bonus from the Engineering profession. While this will help somewhat at lower levels, as the game progresses this advantage will become less and less noticeable.

Rogues are a strange class in WoW. Most people either love to play as a Rogue, or absolutely hate Rogues. They are great characters for PvP’s and Dueling as they are incredibly illusive. If you have ever fought a battle against Rogue, you’ll know they can be a real handful.

Rogues are melee classes and they largely depend on their skill at avoiding hits than fighting head on. Rogues should always keep a close watch on agro meters as if a Rogue gets the attention of a boss, it’ll be killed in a heartbeat.

Successful Rogue leveling is built around having a good knowledge of the class.

1.) You are NOT a tank!

You must realize from the very beginning that you are not designed to take a mob head on. That kind of tactic is fine at lower levels where your massive DPS output can kill the opponent before they can do enough damage to kill you, but when you start getting up into the higher levels you simply cannot do this because mobs simply hit too hard.

On World of Warcraft, something that you can count on is the DarkMoon Faire, it comes every month, over and over like clockwork. And with the DarkMoon Faire comes a huge opportunity for gold-making.

Even with all the changes in World of Warcraft since Wrath of the Lich King expansion came out, there’s still a lot of fast gold to be made by hanging around, camping the vendors, and buying up stocks of limited supply items at the Darkmoon Faire.

Among WoW gold guides, the best Darkmoon Faire gold-making info comes from Jonathan Kenins. He does a complete walkthrough in his Massive Gold Blueprint. In a series of step-by-step videos, he talks about how the WotLK Lich King economy changed the Darkmoon Faire farming strategy.

The short story is this: it is still possible to make a lot of profit at the Faire. It may not be quite as good as it used to be, but it’s definitely still worth spending time at DMF every time it comes around.

When you start playing WoW chances are you have no idea how the rich players are so rich and no one to show you how to get as rich as them. In this guide I’m going to reveal some secrets to help you achieve much more than you currently are.

When you begin playing World of Warcraft you are going to start in a “newbie” zone. In this zone there will be not crafting trainers. Its ok, you can’t train in mining until level 5 any way. So hunker down and knock the first 5 or 6 levels out and earn some money so you can afford the training and the tools that you will need.

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

The second secret way to up your income is through the Enchanting profession. You can make a killing from enchanting when used correctly. To get the most out of your ability, focus on disenchanting more than enchanting.

Use your disenchanting ability to make high end materials that can be sold to other Enchanters.

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.

Gold Secret Number 1 - Skinning

Skinning is a profession that can be lucrative for not only high level players, but also for beginners in World of Warcraft. Almost every zone has a heap of mobs just waiting to be skinned.

Both Horde and Alliance need the Scales, Hides, and Leather that is produced with the Skinning profession. These materials are in consistent high demand.

Gold Secret Number 2 - Alchemy

Compared to the other trade skills (Leatherworking, Tailoring, Blacksmithing and Engineering), Alchemy is the most consistently lucrative. While Engineering, Leatherworking, Tailoring, and Blacksmithing can make some valuable items, these professions are generally not as sustainable as Alchemy is.

The reason that Alchemy is more profitable than the other professions mentioned above is that using Alchemy you’ll be able to heal damage, raise ability scores and much more. Nice weapons and armor is useful but players who use these will still need a lot of potions to get by.
