Trade Skills in World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft players have a lot of activities available at any given time but what about the times when you just don't feel like questing or are waiting in the queue to get into an instanced dungeon? That is a good time to raise your trade skills in WoW. There are several different trades available to gamers including tailoring, skinning, leatherworking, blacksmithing, engineering, enchanting, herbalism, jewelcrafting and mining.

Tailoring is a good skill to take up, particularly if you are a cloth-wearing class like a priest, magician or warlock. Looting most humanoid monsters in World of Warcraft, gives you a very good chance of getting pieces of cloth that can be tailored into cloth armor and various other valuable items such as bags. Bags sell very well in the auction houses that can be found in most major cities of Norrath. Cloth may also be found in chests or awarded in World of Warcraft quests.

Skinning and leatherworking kind of go hand in hand. The corpses of beasts may be skinned to provide leather for the leatherworking trade. Hunters and shamans wear leather armor until level 40 when they can start to wear mail armor. Rogues and druids use leather armor for their entire careers. Leatherworkers can craft leather armor, ammo pouches, quivers and other useful items.

The mining trade is performed by using a mining pick on nodes of ore that can be found scattered all over.

Blacksmiths use metal ore to make chain and plate armor and weapons. Warriors and paladins wear mail armor until level 40 after which they can wear plate. Death Knights begin their careers at level 55 and so always wear plate armor.

Engineers use mined ores to make all sorts of handy gadgets.

Jewelcrafters use ore to make jewelry and prospect ores to acquire gems to ply their trade.

Herbalism is the art of picking various plants that can be found in all World of Warcraft environments. These plants can then be fashioned into potions to perform a number of things including restoring mana and health.

Enchanters can add statistics to improve armor and weapons. They can also disenchant items and gain valuable materials for more enchantments.

Each of these skills has advantage and disadvantages and some can be difficult to get to grandmaster status but there is a great deal of World of Warcraft gold to be made if you stick it out.

Bringing Gold Farming and PvP All Together

Gold in World of Warcraft stands at the base of everything. That's why farming World of Warcraft gold has become a priority for everyone. PvP-er or not, everyone needs gold. So how can your wallet influence your PvP performance? I don't know about everyone else but when I started to PvP I sucked at it. Not because I'm unskilled, or because I'm too slow, it was simply because I had very weak gear.

If you complain about that you will hear people saying that gear doesn't matter, only skill. I find that funny coming from someone who has the top gear on him and has no problems in PvP.

That's like when actors, good looking actors, say stuff like, the inside counts more than the outside. I tried PvP-ing in my green gear thinking I'll get the PvP armor and I'll be ok. Well to get it you need to kill something, especially as a Rogue, you can't run around leeching because you die in an instant. So I started farming World of Warcraft gold as a last resort.

After you level up, you still need to PvP to get some better items. I started thinking how I could start farming World of Warcraft gold and came up with some ideas. First off I started looking for a bunch of daily quests to do, daily... After I found some I made sure I wrote down locations and stuff as I did them so it will be easier the next day. I was doing pretty good but still I needed more. So I went to the Auction House and started looking for ways to make gold with that.

Farming World of Warcraft gold can be very easy using the Auction House as long as you do some research and watch the prices and how they behave. I made a list of items that sold out each time and followed their prices to see where they stand. I started buying such items when they were cheaper, hold them until most of them sold and then put mine up for more that I got them, much more. 80% of the times it worked and I was able to get a nice profit from it. With those 2 methods I made farming World of Warcraft gold a piece of cake.

After a week or so of using those two methods, I had enough money to buy some blue or purple items. I also was able to buy myself spots in raids for the items that couldn't be sold and all of this because I started farming World of Warcraft gold for myself. After I pimped my character, I went to PvP again. In the month that I researched ways to start farming World of Warcraft gold and actually making the gold I haven't PvPed at all.

When I went back to Battlegrounds I could clearly see the differences. My gear in combination with my PvP experience made it easy for me to grab victories after victories. I was amazed to see that in World of Warcraft gold equals everything, so I adapted and haven't looked back.

After a while you don't feel like beating your brain to find new ways to start farming World of Warcraft gold, so I bought myself a gold guide. It is so easy having one, you just use and get gold. It's as easy as that.

Making Gold Druid Style

The Druid Class has some unique abilities, it can shapeshift and cast spells. It is a powerful Class if used correctly, but sometimes gamers think that this isn't a profitable class. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are a Druid Class and your in a bit of a bind on how to make some gold then read on.

Don't be discouraged if you haven't been able to make gold, let me show you a few of places and ways where you are sure to make some profit. Sure, Druids are not a power class like the warriors and rogues, but if used correctly you can really begin to make your character bring in the gold.

Remember that World of Warcraft covers a lot of ground, it is a huge game world, but there are only a few places that a Druid can make some real gold. The best places are Scholomance and Stratholme. The Scholomance is located in the ruins of the palatial House of Barov, on a rise overlooking the abandoned city of Caer Darrow. The enemy level is 56-62 and you need to be at least level 45 but you need to be at least 70 to attempt at soloable. You also need the Skeleton Key. A warlock can pull the Life Tap/Hellfire trick to get in as a ghost. The city of Stratholme is the Scourge's capital in Lordaeron, it is on the north end of the subcontinent.

In these two locations you can recover a lot of items that you can then trade for some WoW gold. In both places you can find the Righteous Orb which can earn you up to 40 gold. There are blue equipment items that can be sold as well. You have the option of selling in NPC or disenchant them, after which you can have these for up to 20 gold.

You can also take the quest route where you can summon Gahzranka. This Boss si found in Zul Gurub. It could drop the Tome of Polymorph - Turtle. If you are fortunate enought to get this mega-valuable item then you can get at least 2000 gold when you take it to the Auction House. Now that's what you call a return on investment.

Well, I hope these few methods can inspire and motivate you to figure out some other ways to make your Druid rich. It can be done as long as you plan ahead and have your WoW ducks in a row. Good luck.

WoW Spider Silk Farming

Players new to the game often pass up the opportunity to make gold in wow through their lack of experience in terms of what and where to grind and often fail to recognize items of value that eventually drop, missing the opportunity to make much gold at auction. A good example is the grinding of spiders.

Spider Silk

There is gold to be made in the grinding of spiders. Love em, or hate em they do drop some valuable mats, notably Spider Silk which always sells well - at least on my server - and is in much demand from the Tailors and Leatherworkers. You'll find spiders in most of the zones, but they tend to be concentrated in certain areas. A good example of a low level spider mob to grind for Spider Silk are the Tarantulas at Alther's Mill, Redbridge Mountains. You'll also find them lurking in and around graveyards. A good example being Duskwood. But probably the best location are the Giant Plains Creeper of the Arathi Highlands.

Cooking With Spider

Of course spiders drop more than silk. There are several cooking recipes that require a piece of spider in one form of another. This fact was taught to me by my old friend Stephen Ryback who is also the cook at the Pig & Whistle, Stormwind. In between practicing with his throwing knives (makes me think he wasn't always a cook), Stephen will also show you how to cook a mean 'Spider Sausage'. The sausage requires you to have 2 x White Spider Meat and a cooking skill of 200. The Spider Sausage restores 1392 health over 30 seconds in addition to a buff of plus 12 stamina and spirit lasting 15 minutes.

Spiders For First Aid

One of the parts that spiders drop that you might not have thought of as useful, is the venom sac. The sac is widely used for First Aid and Alchemy in the crafting of Anti-Venom. The venom sacs come in two sizes: Large and Small and sell great on the Auction House.

Spiders In The Wrath of the Lich King

The latest incarnation of Spider Silk is Iceweb Spider Silk which was introduced with Wrath of the Lich King. Iceweb Spider Silk is used in many crafting recipes and patterns including Epic Spellthreads to Flying Carpets.

So much for Children's Week

So, Children's Week came and went, and for the most part I think it went by largely unnoticed. Aside from the first few days where Battlegrounds were overrun with orphans -- a truly disturbing thought if you stop to think about it -- most people pretty much completed the Children's Week meta-Achievement on the first day. In theory, this was one of those holidays that had the potential to screw

WoW Article: Locke

Do you ever get the feeling that WoW is like some sort of purgatory? That you're trapped in an endless loop of hellish deviations intent on consuming the very soul from which all things good and pure spring forth from?

Disappointment with the patch 3.1 game world

The last few days I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out why I'm not particularly enjoying Patch 3.1 when I'm doing something besides raiding Ulduar. I should be enjoying it! When I first checked it out on the PTR, I was extremely excited about it. The Argent Tournament especially. The whole jousting deal, the Arthurian themes, the potential for story progression, the whole thing. It

WoW Video:The Avenger trailer

Selserene tipped me off to this really cool little video. This is the Avenger trailer by Dtbn. The full movie is probably going to be released sometime in late summer, and is described by the author as being "action packed."I love to see action-oriented machinima, and if this trailer is any kind of indication, I think Dtbn will be able to deliver. I think it does a great job of setting up quick

Jarod Shadowsong, the biggest hero you've never heard of

Call me a lore noob (and that's fine, Alex will heartily agree with you), but like Loregy.com suspected, I had never before heard of Jarod Shadowsong. We pretty much all know about his sister Maeiv, thanks to her little tirade against Illidan and the big part that played in the last expansion. But Jarod might be Azeroth's biggest unsung hero. And considering that all of the rumors point to the

WoW Article: Defining "PuGgable"

Alan over on WoW LJ has a great question: just what is PuGgable? Lots of people are talking about Naxx and Vault of Archavon and Obsidian Sanctum as PuGable, or able to be taken down by a pickup group, but just where does the line get drawn? Is 25-man Naxx able to be killed by a PuG? Sarth with three drakes? Ulduar?Most of the 10-man instances are generally easy enough to be dropped by a pickup

Acronymification, FWIW

The last few editions of The Queue had a lot about tanking, and deciding which Heroic is the best Heroic to tank your first time around. Adam said Utgarde Pinnacle was a good training ground, and his opinion was thoroughly stomped upon for being wrong. I have to say, though... Utgarde Pinnacle was my first Wrath heroic as a tank and it worked pretty well. I did a lot of tanking in The Burning

WoW Guide: Potion tips for the uninitiated

Tanking Tips has a good (you guessed it) tip for potting up before a raid. They say that you can't use two potions in combat -- or can you? Any potion that relies on a proc to get used up (like an Indestructible Potion) can be downed early, then let the two minute cooldown on potions pass, and then you can drink another potion during the fight. Good deal.You could say that only the highest level

Mountain Dew Game Fuel website revealed, counting down

We announced Mountain Dew Game Fuel quite awhile ago now, but it wasn't until recently that we've seen the official Game Fuel website. As you can see in the picture above, when you visit the site you're greeted with a countdown. The countdown says you can 'start earning tokens' when the countdown hits 0, which I assume means we'll be able to get our grubby nerd hands on the soda itself in just

I thought the whole Curse and WoW Interface vs WoWMatrix scuffle was over, but the people at WoWMatrix have just fired back an "FAQ" giving their side of the story. I put FAQ in quotes because I'm not sure these are frequently asked questions so much as questions Matrix frequently wants to answer, but that's OK. I like the format. Here is the situation as they put it: The Matrix people are

Inventing Swear Words has been one of my favorite Oxhorn machinima series. Its lighthearted, playful nature won me over early, and the unmistakable pokes at WoW culture frequently made me laugh.

Tips for Rogues in 2v2

An old friend approached me last week with the prospect of playing some 2v2 arena with his mage, who had recently hit level 80. Luckily his rolls are amazingly gifted, and he already had a pretty nice set of gear to play with. I equipped my Sinister Revenge and switched one of my dual specs to Mutilate, and that night we entered the arena to play as one of my favorite comps (behind Rogue+Rogue of

Wintergrasp lag a big issue after patch 3.1

Zarhym has got some answers to the widespread problem of lag in Wintergrasp after patch 3.1 the other week. He says Blizzard figures the problem is simply population based -- there are many more people playing in the battleground than there were before the patch. For that reason, they're having trouble coming up with good solutions: the battleground is designed to be non-instanced, and that's why

WoW Addon: SmartBuff

Buff smart: use SmartBuff. This addon is pretty comprehensive and crazy configurable, and is designed to facilitate and partially automate the buffing process. Here's how it works:Check off which buffs you want to keep up, on what classes, main hand/off hand (if applicable), and when you want it to remind you (in combat, out of combat, 10 seconds remaining, etc).Under the specified conditions,

A million Chinese gold farmers

A new report on MMO gold farming claims that there are about 400,000 working in China on gold farming and trading, and that there could be as many as 500,000 to even a full million. Of course there's no way to tell exactly how many people are employed in the business (and the number almost certainly doesn't stay constant for long), but according to interviews and surveys done of business there,

Give Bloodlust to Rogues

The idea behind "Bring the player, not the class" is that raid stacking shouldn't be as big of a deal as it was during, oh, say, Sunwell. For each buff and debuff, we have a few different classes that can provide it, so raid leaders don't have to go too far out of their way to get good coverage.However, what single buff was the biggest factor causing guilds to stack a particular class in Sunwell?

World of Warcraft: 3.1.2 patch and Ulduar experience

The upcoming 3.1.2 patch is introducing some minor modifications to some of our Priestly spells. I'd have to say that it's an overall net nerf to Discipline. But in all honesty, I did feel we were slightly overpowered. Yes I'd say some of these were designed to address PvP concerns. Now I don't PvP competitively but when Priest/Rogue or Priest/Anything starts to have mass appeal, I pay a bit more

Special I.W.I.N. edition

In reading the commentary on the site concerning the brouhaha surrounding Martin Fury and The Marvel Family's steamrolling of raid content, there were a lot of assertions made that left an impression on me, but the overwhelming feeling I had coming away from it was the players were treating it as a TOS issue when ultimately it's not. For obvious reasons, Blizzard doesn't spend a lot of time

There's an additional list of in-game fixes released tonight by Bornakk. The fixes have been coming less and less over the past week, and that's reflected in the fact the game's stability has vastly improved since patch 3.1 dropped (at least for most).We covered some of the Ulduar changes, which were announced separately this evening. Apparently Blizzard felt them important enough to mix them in

Ulduar "tuning tweaks"

Ulduar nerfs continue, tonight being called "tuning tweaks" - but nerfs they are, at least the vast majority of them. Several hard modes have been made easier (XT-002, Assembly of Iron, and Hodir). I'm told that the change to Hodir-hard is particularly significant - the timer on the hard mode was increased from 2 minutes to 3 minutes, which means this encounter might actually be possible on 25-

WoW Guide: How to be a professional Warlock

I've been thinking for awhile now that I'd like to approach Blood Pact a bit differently. Thus far the bulk of my posts have focused on playing a Warlock at level 80. Granted, a casual Warlock at 80, but still, my aim has been towards max level players. Aside from the obvious problem that raises of excluding lower level 'locks, this approach pointlessly limits my available subject matter. And

He considered it his "time to shine."It's easy to forget

Skinning And Hunting With Gold In Mind

Many players think that skinning is a boring profession. It does not lead into another profession immediately and it doesn't provide much excitement because you are not going out of your way to find it, but if you are interested in grinding your way to riches, utilizing skinning as a profession is a surefire way to make big profits quickly. World of Warcraft gold guides have the right idea when they tell you that it is the most efficient profession in the game.

Skinning is effective because you can complete it during the course of your travels without having to return to any zones or anything. Most World of Warcraft gold guides don't have any special directions or zones to visit because you don't need them. You can skin as you kill regular mobs. What's better is that anyone who is not a skinner will leave the carcasses of their kills ripe and ready for the picking by skinners like you. That means you can step in and pick off their kills with ease, boosting your totals substantially.

Where to Skin

That said, most World of Warcraft gold guides will give you a few good locations where you should spend more time searching for creatures to skin. At lower levels, these areas are the ones where high volumes of hunting quests are performed such as Stranglethorn Vale, where the expedition mastery quests, which combine to make up 60 separate kills for each player, can leave trails of bodies ready for you to skin throughout the zone.

What to Skin

While an early strategy to skin any creature you see is a good one, there are instances where you will want to focus your efforts a little more concertedly toward certain mobs than others, especially when the chance for rare leather drops are possible. In Outland for example, you can make big profits off of mobs that drop Knothide Leather and especially Heavy Knothide Leather. For this reason, Nagrand is obviously a very popular place for skinners to work. Most World of Warcraft gold guides tell playes to park themselves in Nagrand and pick off any of the 180 different kills being done for the Nagrand mastery quests by each player. There are a lot of mobs out here that are skinnable and they respawn constantly. With a good World of Warcraft gold guide in hand you can make a fortune in no time.

Where to be is the key to skinning for gold, how long to spend there, and when to be there when farming for gold. If you can effectively reach every step of the skinning and hunting process with gold in mind, you can make as much as 150-200 gold an hour at the highest levels - never forget about the item drops and all that valuable vendor trash.

Innervate changed to a flat number

As we had been warned previously, Innervate is being changed in patch 3.1.2 to restore a flat amount of mana. At the moment, it restores mana based on the spirit of the target. After the patch, it gives "450% of the casting Druid's base mana pool to the target over 20 seconds," which works out to a bit under 16,000 mana over the course of the effect.So the effect of Innervate is no longer based

WoW reference found in Wolverine game

X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out in theaters yesterday, to fairly dismal reviews, and like any good summer movie, it has a tie-in video game. Why are we talking about it here?

Twittering from the World of Warcraft

Just in case you needed any more Twitter in your life (I'm getting to the point where I really don't), enter the PlayXpert Twitter widget, part of the PlayXpert gaming toolset, a free Windows application that you can download to run alongside your PC games (very similar to Xfire and that type of application). It's a little bloaty if all you want to do is run Twitter alongside WoW, but
