Let’s talk about getting Warcraft Gold.
Before we unveil the secrets it’s important to understand the basics, the rules and the economy.
The World of Warcraft economy can be a challenging and overwhelming to the new player. The good news is that the system is not nearly as difficult as it appears at first. Actually the in-game economy is alot like the economy in the “real” world. I will talk about some in-depth information on the basics of the World of Warcraft economy. Learning the basics and keeping them in mind as you accumulate gold for yourself you will be much more successful player.
Supply and Demand
Supply and demand in World of Warcraft the same as the economy of the world that we live in. There is a limited supply of any particular item or the items in general in the game. The amount of players that seek the particular items creates the demand for that item. If a small amount of people want certain items those items have a low demand because there are plenty of those items and they are easy to obtain. The costs of these items will be low. If a large number of people want the same item, and there is a limited supply, then the overall demand is increased. This means those items are being sold for much more than if the demand was low.
Rarity
When you stumble upon items in the game, you will set that the title or name of that item has a certain color associated with it. These colors are gray, white, green, blue, purple, and orange. The colors that are associated with these items determines the overall “rarity” of the item.
1. Gray items are considered “poor” when it comes to rarity, this means that they lack value, or there is a large supply in the game.
2. White items “common”. These items are worth a bit more than the gray in-game items.
3. Green items are “uncommon” and are worth more golds.
4. Blue items are “rare” and can be worth quite a bit because the demand is high, and the supply is low.
5. Purple are referred to as “epic” and are extremely difficult to come across, so the demand for them makes them worth even more gold in the game.
6. Orange items are considered to be “legendary” and have the lowest supply, and the highest demand. These items are the most valueable.

The Long Hard Road To Being Full Epic
Luthîel was finally level 80 but to be honest the gear was crap.
All the blues and greens and the low HP wasnt good. We all know the long hard road to being fully epic..
All the struggle to find Heroic dungeon groups or people who can handle your undergearedness….
We’ve all been there. If you have the right proffesions and a little gold you could make your first few epic pieces yourself but you still have to get more.
We’re talking about the Ulduar days here. The Hardest raid is ulduar, and no ToC or ICC yet.
With the help of my guild, and ingame friends a got myself a little more better in gear but that still wasnt enough as a Tank.
So I decided to respecc as Holy since we all know healers are needed and people will accept you if you can keep them alive in dungeons and raids.
A Holy paladin with 12K HP and 13K UB Mana wasnt acceptable.. I kept grinding marks and got a few epics.
Heroics are the best way to get marks and first epics. Easy and fast.
After a really long while with grinding HCs Luthîel was finally an acceptable holy paladin with 19K UB Hp.
Then comes the first raids. The most exciting part of PVE.
Those days we had Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye Of Eternity and such.
Luthîel kept healing those raids and when the new patch with Trial Of The Crusader came she was ready for it.
After a few big repair bills and weeks, there she was, a decent geared holy paladin ready for ICC.
Now she is (even thought not the best- one of the finest) an awesome paladin with 26K UB Mana, 2.529 Spell power and 368 MP5.
It might seem like a lot of work to gain all those items but if you have the right proffessions, and tips it’s not that hard at all. The new LFG system is also really helpfull to gear up. Just grind some heroics, get some marks and buy items with them!
We will be discussing all the work which needs to be done to become an epic player here.
- Get the right proffesions (e.g: for a paladin BS/Mining can be good to make gear, or Herb/alch, Mine/JC to make gold)
- Start with grinding heroics and get the highest level epics you can at first to improve both your gear score and stats.
With the new LFG system you can go into every HC as much as it comes .. No such thing as “I’m saved” on the Random HC Tab
- Get a friendly guild which can grind old Raids like Naxxramas or has the patience to take you to good raids and gear you up.
- Remember to always take your flasks before going to raids to improve your DPS or HPS.
We will be discussing all this further, stay tuned!
