Warrior Gold Farming Guide

Welcome to The WoW Gold Spot. This is the first entry in a series on farming gold with different classes. I hope you enjoy, and check back for later updates!

So you've got your Warrior sitting at 80, but you're too broke too afford the gear, enchants, mounts, and everything else that serves to drain your funds in this game? Don't worry; Warrior is actually pretty good for farming. You actually have two options as far as reasonable farming methods, so we'll discuss them.

The first warrior gold farming technique is the simply use your normal DPS spec and go nuts with your normal DPS rotations. Though there are a few things to note here. You won't need as much hit as you do to raid; chances are the enemies you're farming won't even be level 80, much less 83. So try to swap some of that hit out. And remember that these enemies are squishy and weak; so pull a few at a time and beat them down. Don't let cooldowns sit around unused, this is a bad habit I see people farming get into. Offensive cooldowns and defensive cooldowns reduce the amount of time a mob takes to kill and the amount of downtime you have; so use both liberally.

The second Warrior gold farming technique is of course the use of Prot AoE farming. Again, you can use a typical spec; whatever you normally use for tanking will be fine. Unlike using a DPS spec, though, with Prot you aren't just doing your normal thing. You want to gear for damage, not tanking. Things like shield spikes are a great benefit for Prot farming, too. Your main benefit with Prot is the fact that you are virtually unkillable for most enemies; even large groups will barely ding your health bar; and because they aren't elites, this will be true even if you aren't geared for survivability.

So take advantage of this, and gather huge groups, then blast them with Thunderclap, Cleave (make sure you have the Glyph!), and Shockwave. Use other abilities as they are reasonable, but make sure to use these as often as possible. And again, use your cooldowns. Retaliation, for example, can completely devastate a group of mobs in short order. And as a Prot you have a ton of defensive cooldowns; you should practically never need to rest.

I hope this has told you a little bit about Warrior gold farming. Anyone looking to further optimize your gold earning abilities should check out my Gold Guide Review, where I compare various popular gold guides, and find one that sounds good.

Buy Alliance Gold - Is IGE Any Good?

So you're an World of Warcraft Alliance player, and you're sick of spending hours and hours day after day grinding for gold. You spent enough time getting to 80, without having to put up with even more grinding to get your epic flyer or to get dual talent specs on each character. It can take as long to get the gold you need to start playing seriously as it does to get to 80 in the first place! So you're thinking about buying gold. You shouldn't go to one of those sites that spam chat all the time; most of them are scams. So where can you buy Alliance gold safely?

One of the most popular sites to buy Alliance gold is IGE. IGE is one of the first sites you'll find on search engines, and it is linked to on a number of popular World of Warcraft web sites. But is it actually worth buying from?

The first thing most people think of when looking for a good gold selling website is price. But even before that, you should think about safety! There are a huge number of World of Warcraft websites that will steal your credit card information, hack your account, and do any number of horrible things. So this should always be priority one!

IGE is one hundred percent safe, and this is a huge thumbs up to anyone thinking about buying from them. They are honest and have strong security, so it is definitely safe to buy from them using a credit card. If you are still nervous about buying, of course, you can use a prepaid card or something similar.

So you're thinking of buying your Alliance gold from IGE now? Well, the second thing to look at, like I mentioned before, is price. IGE tends to run cheaper than its competitors for nearly every World of Warcraft server, both for Alliance gold and Horde gold. So that is a big plus. Yet another reason to buy from IGE.

So you've decided this sounds like a good deal, thanks to their low prices and high safety? Well, how safe is their method of transfering the gold? Above average. IGE doesn't use any of the more complicated tricks to hide gold sales, so your chances of getting caught aren't completely totally nonexistent, they are certainly better than most sites for buying Alliance gold from.

So give IGE a chance. You might find a better website, one that has lower prices and higher security, but it wont be much better.
