Why you should drop that gold guide.

Don't you detest it when you're reading a site about World of Warcraft and all of a sudden you get this big in your face thing about someone's gold guide and why you've got to buy it? Me too! ( and yes I know there are ads on this site but im not here demanding you look at them , they just appear because google is very clever ! ) Ever wondered why so many of them exist or why some famous WoW names are attached? Well, David "Xerin" Piner takes an in-depth look at the amazing world of gold guides in his latest editorial "Drop That Gold Guide". Don't be taken in by the silly videos. Stay clued-up and stay alert.

WoW Addons

I have just entered into the wonderful world of using WoW Addons.

A very good friend suggested that I start with Auctioneer and get that rolling. This thing, my friends, is wicked cool stuff. I dare say this is the beginning to having a toon that will actually have some serious walking around money. This addon basically does all the stuff I tried to do either in my head (not a good idea), on paper or just by sorta guessing. It’s like hiring an accountant (one that you don’t pay) to handle your finances for you so your efforts can be better spent on the important things in Wow…like questing and perfecting your dance moves.

So what does this addon on do and why should you bother?

This thing makes it simply easier to know what to sell to whom, when and for how much, example: you pick up a nice little BoE (“bind on equip“) green shield on a drop…

that means you can pick it up and then sell it in the Auction House, trade it or whatever as long as you do not equip that item on your toon. BoP (“bind on pickup”) which means the second you pick it up its soul bound to you.)

O.K., great, but Druids can not use shields so what are you going to do with it? Sell it. But is it worth putting in the Auction House (AH) or should you just sell it to the nearest vendor?

The Auctioneer helps you figure this out.

Or how about that stack of wool you’ve been carrying around?

Is it worth putting it in AH or simply vending it?

From the other angle often people who don’t know any better (aka those without Auctioneer or those that are not Rainman savants) might put stuff on AH that they could get better money for from a vendor. Use the wool example again. Lets say that there is a stack of wool in the AH for 2 gold (numbers are just for easy math) but to a vendor it’s worth 4 gold. If you knew this you’d quickly buy that stack for 2 then run to the nearest vendor and sell it for 4, right?

Well the Auctioneer helps you do this too.

On top of that often an item is worth more once it’s been disenchanted (DE). This handy little addon will tell you exactly what it disenchants into and what that’s worth as well. There are tons of options, settings and more to play with on this. Get over to Curse.com and look up Auctioneer. Be sure to read a bit on it over there and don’t do what I did (aka not pay attention). Be sure to load it up and get over to the closest AH to do a full scan to get rolling. Only took me about some minutes.

That`s all…and … it`s that easy!
