I’ve spent a lot of time playing World of Warcraft with a raiding guild and when you’ve been playing for a few years and have multiple level 90 WOW characters you no longer really need to farm WOW gold. When you have so much gold your level 1 warehouse alts (where you store extra WOW resources) are rich, no need to farm gold. Now farming crafting resources etc… that’s another matter, some are hard to acquire! It’s still good to keep up to date with the latest WOW gold farming techniques. Over the years I tried a lot of World of Warcraft gold guides and some of them are no longer available! WOW Gold Guides Valkor’s Gold Making Guide : […]

Valkors World of Warcraft Gold Guide Review
I wrote this Valkor gold guide review (below) in 2007, since then Valkors WOW Gold Guide is no longer available, so recommend the newer Dugi gold guide, see my Dugi Gold Academy for World of Warcraft Review.
Valkors World of Warcraft Gold Guide Review
I have to admit as a World of Warcraft player with my first level 70 character I was very skeptical about WOW gold guide ebooks in general, I’m an intelligent player, I shouldn’t need a guide to make gold while playing the world of Warcraft.
I have the professions herbalism and alchemy (picked at level 70 mainly for mana pots for raiding Kara and beyond) and think I’m doing quite well at making gold, before buying the ebook I had just over 1,500 WOW gold, but haven’t upgraded to the very fast flying mount yet (which costs over 5,000 gold) so needed some help as I felt like I’d stalled (no longer leveling so not constantly killing mobs for quests).
I’ve had the Valkors gold guide ebook almost a week and haven’t really had the time to devote to making WOW gold, (raiding Kara ~4 days a week which costs gold in repair bills and mana pots!) yet my gold balance has increased to 2,500 gold. I estimate I’m making about 75 gold an hour using the gold farming tips in the Valkors WOW ebook and I’m pretty sure I’ll increase that to 100 gold an hour when I learn the best tips and tricks from the ebook (I’ve barely scratched the surface).
Limited Success Making Gold Before the WOW Gold Guide
I’ve sold two epic items (from drops) for around 250g in total and have so many items stored for sale/future use I’ve got four bank/auction warehouse alts each stocked with at least 14 slot bags and at least 2 extra bank bag slots :-)
I’ve made most of my gold whilst leveling my World of Warcraft main character crafting leather items and selling them on the AH and occasionally taking advantage of a good market for selling stacks of leather, this was pre level 70 when I had skinning and leather working.
At one point was getting a nice 1 gold and 25 silver for a 20 stack of heavy leather, but the market on the Hellfire realm has been inundated with bots selling heavy leather (all leather) for as low as 45 silver a stack so no longer a good market!
When I hit level 70 and started raiding Kara I found I stopped skinning mobs and really needed mana pots that are selling for a stack of 5 between 15 gold and 20 gold each in the AH. So switched to herbalism and alchemy and have been farming herbs to make various pots (health and mana mostly), though most of my mana pots are used by me in Kara (so not making much gold from them since Kara is mana pot intensive for casters).
I also tried selling the first aid books with some success, but it looks like lots of people do this bringing the profits right down so no longer do that.
So I was doing OK making WOW gold, but after trying a little of the Valkors World of Warcraft gold ebook tips I’m doing a LOT better and so will be able to afford my fast flying mount :-)
Making Gold the Easy Way, the Valkor Way
OK it’s not easy to make gold even with a great guide like this, but I like the header above :-)
I’ve not read the entire Valkors gold guide yet, mainly because it’s huge, but what I’ve read is very, very good information.
For example I now know a spot where there are level 62-63 mobs with about 3,000 health (low for this level of mob, so very easy to kill) and they have a high drop rate for motes of water which are always in high demand and these mobs respawn quickly (perfect gold farming area). I estimate you could make at 90 to 100 gold an hour their from selling the vendor trash, the greens (which are quite frequent) and the motes of water in the AH. I got two blues in one trip that together made 80 gold (could have made more, but would have meant multiple listings) in the AH, so that one 45 minute trip made me about 160 gold (best run yet).
The WOW gold guides filled with spots like this and so far I’ve found about 75% (tried about 15 spots) are very good gold creating areas. The majority of the 25% that aren’t good have been because the market on the Hellfire realm has been swamped (with bots, spit) who really ruin it for us real World of Warcraft players looking to make lots of gold.
I haven’t tried the AH gold making tips yet, so no idea how good they are, but suspect I’ll find a similar rate of success.
So your going to have try the areas/tips listed and see how it works on your realm (some will, some won’t). With over 100 pages of tips your sure to find a set that works for you.
Good luck making gold and if you are on the Hellfire realm DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy this WOW ebook (my gold, mine, all mine :-))

World of Warcraft Gold Guide Reviews
LOL, I have no idea if this is the creator of the Valkors WOW Gold Guide since he/she used a hotmail email address.
Let’s assume for one moment this is a comment from the person who created the Valkor guide.
I understand quite a bit about copyright infringement and other than the images to the Valkor guide there is nothing on this site you own the copyright to.
I suppose technically you could sue me for using your images, but these are on your site to be used by people like me (you have given permission to use them).
That being said the images per se add nothing to the review and comparison of Valkors Gold Guide vs Other Gold guides (the latter is better, so no one orders Valkor now, so no need to see the cover of the guide etc…).
Therefore I have no issue removing those images IF this is the copyright owner.
All you have to do now is contact me in a way that I can use to prove you are who you say you are and I’ll happily remove the images above within 5 working days.
Look how easy that was.
BTW I won’t delete the images completely, I’ll make some new ones that say something like:
This image was removed at the request of Valkor because i recommend using another gold guide.
That way I’ll keep any relevant image SERPs.

WOW Gold Making Tips
Been using the WOW gold making tips for a while now, I’ve bought my epic flying mount for 5200 gold and paid 2200 gold towards a friends epic flying mount.
I joined the raiding guild Semper Fi (one of the top guilds on the Hellfire realm) and spending a LOT of time raiding-
So far cleared
Karazhan (I’ve not done Nightbane yet)
Gruuls Lair
From Serpentshrine Cavern so far-
Hydross the Unstable
The Lurker Below
From The eye-
Voidreaver
And working on other bosses including Magtheridon’s Lair.
Raiding costs quite a bit of gold in repairs and pots, not to mention the cost to purchase mats for various enchants for new gear. Even so right now I have over 3,500 gold most of which is thanks to the gold tips from the guide!
So well worth the money for the gold guide.
WOW Gold Making Tips
WOW Gold to Buy Epic Riding Mount

I now have my epic riding skill and am very close to getting my drake mount. Its good stuff and you are right, they have different spots featured that I didnt even know about that are great for grinding for stuff to sell as well as raw gold.
WOW Gold Farming Tip
I now know a spot where there are level 62-63 mobs with about 3,000 health (low for this level of mob, so very easy to kill) and they have a high drop rate for motes of water
Eels outside Shattrah, the second most over farmed gold area in the game?
WOW Gold Farming Strategy
I’ve seen some of these guides around but have always thought of them as cheating in a way.
Maybe it’s time to reevaluate my WOW gold farming strategy and spend more time on the things that are really fun in the game of World of Warcraft.
Thanks for a good post!
