Well, the first thing I did on my new Beta account was roll a new Death Knight.
After playing through the “campaign questline” blizzard designed exclusively for the Death Knights and doing my favorite quest lines in the game (the Western Plagueland Cauldron Quests), I was about 9 bars from level 60, so I decided to go to the outlands.
Here I planned to grind some of the mobs in Legion Front. They provide very quick exp, they are “easy” to kill and will help me finish off my level. After level 60 I would proceed to doing my Outlands Quest cycles.
The DK class, is simply OVER POWERED. My whole time grinding, I did not drop below 90% health. i was not being conservative either. I’m spec’d Unholy, which is a decently high damage spec. I burned through mobs quickly in about 4-5ish hits. Not dropping below 90% health once. No downtime at all.
I told myself as I was actually “creating” the character:
“I will roll one now because I know everyone on my blog is DYING to hear about them, but when it comes to retail, EVERYONE will be playing them… so I will stick with one of my other characters “
Even though I’m pretty stubborn and I stick to my word.. I have totally changed my mind. Tons of people will be playing this class, and they SHOULD. It’s a very fun class with a very new feel to it.
Right now it’s just simply over powered.
On the beta we are able to run 5man DK groups. Which is kind of scary.
I thought the reason for implementing this character was to eliminate the “need” for player roles, such as warriors, since every group needs one.
But with a large band wagon of players jumping to play the Deathknight, what if the class became the game? Why pick up a hunter for a group, when you can add another DK? Why use a priest, when DK’s can virtually keep themselves alive?
However, I know for a fact I will be rolling a Death Knight of my own when it comes to retail.
I know this sounds a little dramatic, but what do you think about the death knight having the potential to literally taking over the game?
Will your current characters just collect dust because they will be of no use?

I received my e-mail today, that I have been waiting for quite anxiously:
You have been selected to participate in the beta test of World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King™. Welcome!
So very shortly after I started installing and waiting my journey into WotLK.
The download is actually 1.88g so it was a lot more then I expected and it took a bit of time.
I’m currently installing it as I write this blog post. I’m sure you can imagine how pumped up I am about getting this installed finally.
I also know, that unfortunately not EVERYONE gets a beta key. In fact, most players DO NOT get a beta key at all, some don’t even want it.
But everyone wants that inside, look before everything comes out right?
Well that’s exactly what you are going to get.
I just started a new category dedicated to WotLK. This is actually going to be a double-edged sword.
Not only am I going to give you that inside view of Wrath, but i’m going to be gathering resources, strategies, techniques, and building you the most comprehensive guides…. BEFORE the game launches.
This way, you will be ready for the expansion before it even launches.
Make sure you stay tuned.
P.S. If you didn’t notice, our site has been totally redesigned! You can also subscribe to our newsletter in the top of the box. (That means I recommend you subscribe! I will send you e-mails with updates on blog posts, guides, and all that good stuff.) See you on the inside!

This post was made just to hear about everyone’s success on the season four domination!
If you have no idea what I’m talking about head over to:
http://www.WarcraftRiches.com/season4/
When things begin to settle I will post up my results also! For now you can post comments with any questions you have on the strategies!
-Edit-
Hey Guys.. I was wondering what you guys meant by the 404 error!
I fixed it.. when I put the bonus guides onto my web server I named the file slightly wrong and thats what was giving the 404 error. I’ve tested the server about 6 different times on different computers and everything seems to be running smoothly!
Sorry for the error there for a bit. It’s all fixed so you can proceed in downloading the bonus guides!

So I have to apologize to everyone today.
For the longest time I have claimed that I have been the top gold farmer, collecting thousands of gold at fast rates. Doing so quicker then anyone else, and also massing more gold then anyone else.
In fact, I used to take on challenges from people on new servers, rushing to “x” amount of gold. I never lost (yeah yeah I’m talking myself up).. but luckily for my ego’s sake I wasn’t challenged by this player I just met.
Even though my strategies have profited thousands of players make hundreds, thousands, if not tens of thousands of gold I have to step down from my soap box.
I still play the game, on multiple new servers testing new strategies. I love trying new stuff, and sharing it with everyone! It’s really a lot of fun. I love watching my gold meter jump exponentially like I show you in my gold guides.
For those of you who have my guide, you know how great my strategies are right? I have hundreds of players who will vouch for the fact that I have developed some solid, ground-breaking strategies. So they are NOTHING to laugh at.
But what if I said I was showing you the WORST way?
What if I told you that everything I said should be FORGOTTEN… what would you say?
I know this sounds super super dramatic but it’s not far from the truth. I recently got in touch with a player who is truly, an economic GENIUS when it comes to world of warcraft, and other virtual games.
This may come as news to some of you but I used to sell gold, sell characters/accounts but I turned away from this when blizzard cracked down on their security, mainly because I didn’t want a lawsuit. I did pretty good selling these virtual goods but this is LIGHT WORK when it comes to the guy I met.
He doesn’t want me to give away his name so let’s refer to him as MR. X. (this is mainly for his protection, he has sold A LOT of gold and characters. Even though he has turned away from this also - he DOES NOT want any lawsuits).
As you will see here shortly, this guy is truly the real deal. He has farmed tens of thousands of gold on multiple servers - sold it on multiple websites including MarkeeDragon.com - Ebay.com and he made it on such a large scale that he actually became a PRIVATE dealer to some of the chinese farming companies. (It’s ironic how that works..hah)
Mr. X was pretty much the equivalent of 20-30 Chinese farmers. He could make so much gold on demand that these large companies DEPENDED on him to fill orders.
–>[NOTE]<-- Both of us DO NOT agree with, promote, or condone gold selling, account selling or anything related to this subject. We are completely and totally against it as we have seen the effect it has on a servers economy.
So now that my warning is out of the way.. I had the great opportunity of talking with this guy for hours, sharing our discoveries. Testing new strategies and discovering even more strategies.
He actually taught me a lot and I know SOO much more about the economy. It’s actually easier now then it ever has been before. I give most of this thanks to him.
Now you guys ALL know me. After talking to him I practically begged him to share these tactics and strategies with everyone. He agreed to it under a few circumstances (he actually owes me one).
So stay tuned over the next few weeks. I will be sharing these strategies and tactics with you, and you will be hearing from Mr. X directly. He’s a really cool guy and I trust him fully to share some really nice things with you guys.
If you know anything about me - you know how important it is to take the FIRST stab at any of my strategies. There’s A LOT of people out there who use my strategies, so the first people to grab them usually get the best results. (It’s basically first come first serve x10).

I’m making this post from St. Louis!
I visited here for a LAN party with some friends and I’m having a great time.
The markets are changing, and the more people who find out about the auctioneer addon the more competition gets stiff. This is a problem that people have noticed. But it’s not like we still can’t make money.
Making gold in WoW easily is not over. It’s just different.
How many of you still play on level 1 auction house characters?
My auction house character is now level 35. I did this on all of my servers because disenchanting has become a huge part of my strategy in the auction house.
How many of you are taking advantage of disenchanting items on the AH for profit?
This doesn’t mean drop your professions and pick up enchanting. Because you can get free disenchanting. (I will talk about this in another post coming soon).
But you should definitely take advantage of disenchanting in your every-day efforts for farming gold.
Players commonly post items on the AH below disenchant value. I’m at fault too. It would be a pain to check the Disenchant value of every item before listing it.
This just simply means more profits for us, and profits that are created out of thin air. You don’t even have to worry about competition either. Once you disenchant the item you can list it 500 times… since they are enchanting materials they will list for free.
I know there are many disenchanters out there so comment below on your stories with disenchanting to encourage other players of how profitable it is.

It’s sick how closely related WoW can be to so many things in real life.
For this example we will be talking about the Auction House.
This is not some high tech strategy guide, these are just some gathered thoughts that I have used to success when playing the auction house.
My biggest “aha” moment when it comes to playing the AH is when I realized that the money comes from when you buy.
This will make sense to you people in real estate, or the stock market - but for everyone else this may seem like a retarded statement.
So let me explain.
The WoW Market is constantly fluctuating. Daily, Hourly, Weekly.
Prices will go up and down as people undercut, as people stop farming, and even as people stop playing.
The prices in the auction house are a little more controlled then the real world economy so it’s a lot more safe to just jump in.
Here’s the deal.
When you are looking for buys in the auction house, you will want to make your money on the purchase.
This means your profit doesn’t come directly from your sales, your money comes from picking up the good deal.
An example to this would be my overloaded stock of Small Glimmering Shard’s right now.
I actually have 624 of them. Here’s a picture:
Why? - Because I picked them all up for 20 silver each. Following the market I know that they can sell all the way up to 1.5 gold a piece (on THIS specific server). That means on each purchased I made about 1.3g.. However it doesn’t show right now. Right now it just shows that I’m down 125 gold.
So this brings me to the next point.
Playing the Auction House takes patience.
The market takes swings, it goes up and down. Just because you can’t sell something immediately right now for a profit doesn’t mean you took a loss.
Save it for later. No one is forcing you to sell something for a loss. I will go out on a limb and claim that you will ALWAYS be able to sell something for a price of your choice. I have never been “stuck” with an item that I couldn’t sell off.. (besides a few items that got changed during patches, or phased out…etc etc)
So to be a good AH player it takes a lot of PATIENCE!
Make your money when you buy, wait for the market to give you a good chance to sell.. and take your profits.
Once you begin to understand this your swings in the market will be so much more controlled.
