How To Hit WoW Gold Cap
Anyone
who has played World of Warcraft in the last couple years has heard
tale of the WoW gold cap, the mythical number slightly over 214,700
where players stop gaining gold due the numerical formulas used by
Blizzard to calculate gold values. The number has been hinted at a few
times in the past, but in the last few months, with high yield Wrath
farming methods, many more players have supposedly managed to hit it.
Here are three tips for how to work toward the WoW gold cap
successfully.
1. Get the Right Add-Ons
Step
one is to find the right add-ons for your game client. You’ll need to
be sure that you have add-ons that will allow you to quickly scan,
analyze and utilize auction house data. For many players Auctioneer is
enough, but Auctionator is increasingly becoming the add-on of choice
for this. Additionally, it is recommended that you pick up Market
Watcher and Postal as these two add-ons provide you with a great deal
of additional functionality and data when you go into each transaction.
The more data you have, the better you will be able to use what you
have.
2. Stop Farming and Questing
Many
people have been told that farming and questing are good enough ways to
make gold and will work fine for anyone that needs the cash. But, think
of it this way. The most gold you’ll make daily questing is 250 or 300
an hour and the most you’ll ever make farming is 750 an hour. If
you’re interested in hitting the WoW gold cap, you’ll need to farm
almost 300 hours to hit that mark and the questing will pretty much
never get you there. These are good methods for those that are content
with low gold counts and who enjoy the activity. Everyone else needs to
move on.
3. Work on Creative Auction House Methods
Anyone
with a gold guide uses the Auction house to make gold these days. For
this reason, you need to push yourself and find new and exciting ways
to make gold that do not involve spending so much time just buying and
selling. Learn how to transfer items between servers and factions, how
to make an item go up in value through price manipulation, how to move
things around carefully to control how the game operates. These are all
valuable auction house skills on the road to the gold cap.
The
real key to hitting the WoW gold cap is not in farming endlessly
(though that is technically possible), but in using the auction house
carefully and creatively in a way that will allow you to get there
faster and more efficiently.
