WoW Gold Making Tip from Derek’s Gold Mastery Guide – How to Make Gold Quickly in World of Warcraft

There are many ways to make gold in World of Warcraft. Some involve the auction house, some involve grinding, and some involve using professions to make valuable items. Derek’s Gold Mastery Guide has tips for many of these situations. One such gold making tip involves going into instances using stealth tactics. Derek’s Gold Guide refers to these as Stealth Runs. This tip is best used by Rogues and Druids, but it can used by anyone provided they have a means of staying out of sight. The main purpose of the Stealth Run is to sneak past all of the minions and lesser mobs assembled at the beginning of the instance and go directly to the boss character at the end. The group then takes out the boss and gets all of his loot without having to go through his flunkies first.

According to Derek’s Gold Mastery Guide, one of the best instances in World of Warcraft for Stealth Runs is Dire Maul. Derek recommends a group of 2-3 characters for this run. He also states that using the mining profession can really increase the gold flow as there are veins of Thorium ore contained within the instance. These can be mined and sold at the auction house for a pretty nice price.

The real treasure from the Dire Maul Stealth Run is the loot from killing the boss. This loot can be used by the characters or sold at the auction house for a nice return. It’s easy to see why this can be a productive instance to farm for gold. Derek’s guide says there are other instances that will open up with the Burning Crusade expansion that will allow for stealth runs as well. Keep an eye out for these as they can be great sources of gold and loot with minimal time and energy investment.

Warcraft Riches Tip: Make Unlimited Warcraft Riches as a WoW Mage

Everyone who plays World of Warcraft is always looking for ways to make more gold. Thanks to resources like the Warcraft Riches Guide, , , these tactics are made available and can be used over and over again without any fear of a WoW account being banned. Check out this tip for using a Mage to make some easy gold in World of Warcraft.

One tactic for higher level characters is Area of Effect (AoE) grinding. This involves using a character class, usually a mage, and getting a lot of mobs to gather around the character before unleashing a bunch of spells or attacks that will take out the entire group in short order. The trick to AoE grinding is to make sure that the amount of time and resources to take out the groups couldn't be better spent taking out mobs one by one. Keep in mind that you'll probably need to sit and eat or drink to recover before taking on the next mob.

One good place to do AoE grinding is Silithus. There are many humanoid mobs in this area. Usually humanoid mobs tend to drop better stuff when killed, so being able to take out large mobs of humanoids in a short amount of time can help bring in a good amount of gold. The humanoids in Silithus have a tendency to drop runecloth, which can sell for a decent price at the Auction House. Once you've cleared a few groups, head back to the Auction House and sell off the stuff that dropped that you don't need. You'll probably also get some good coin drops from these mobs too. There might be some stuff that you can sell to a vendor and get a decent price for as well.

Thanks to the Warcraft Riches Guide, you've now got an easy way to make some gold with a Mage in World of Warcraft. It's possible to use another class, but the mage is a little easier to do AoE grinding with that many of the other classes.

Wow Gold Farming in the Scarlet Monastery

Here is another guide that I have found very useful. As many of you know it is extremely difficult to find great guides on the internet and this is a great one to add to the site. Most guides you find out there are pretty good if you want to only make 20-30 gold per hour. This guide is pretty easy to do as long as you are a Level 60 Mage, and it can net you at least 60-80 gold per hour. Great guide. Check it out below!

Level 60 Frost Talent Spec Mage (enchanting profession is a bonus)


I have 10 Arc/ 0 Fire/ 41 Frost spec, but Ice block and Cold Snap are most important for this little run.

Go to Scarlet Monastery Cathedral. Run all the way to main Boss Chamber. Will be easy to dodge aggro as you are level 60. Kill pats if you can't get around. With a little practice you can get there with only 1-2 fights tops.

Once inside you need to move down right or left side and dodge pats so that you are standing close to Mograine without aggroing him. Now the fun begins. But first...

Make sure you have all you spell cooldowns up so you can use everything at your disposal. Make a Mana Ruby for backup mana. You can use potions but these cost money and counter your profit. Your decision.


Ok, now that you are ready you can start the fight. Put up Ice Barrier and pop Mograine with a frostbolt and he will rush you and aggro the whole cathedral to come kill you. Take hits from Mograine until your barrier is removed. You will see the other mobs rushing you from all directions. When Barrier is gone pop Ice Block. This is the focal point of this run.

Ice Block gives you 10 full seconds for all the mobs to gather around you without damaging you. Now they are all nice and packed for some Area of Effect(AoE) blasting!

Ok, as soon as Ice Block expires you want to pop Frost Nova and Ice Barrier again as you strafe (don't backup, slower movement speed) out of the groups melee range. Now commence to laying on the AoE damage. Remeber that Mograine can't be Frost Nova'd so that is why you put your Ice Barrier back up since he will be beating on you while you are AoE killing his minions.

Once all the minions are dead, Mograine should be less than 50% so finish him off. Immediately pop Evocation to refill mana because Whitemane is on her way. As long as you didn't end up close to her spawn point when you killed Mograine (practice will show you to finish Mograine towards the middle of the chamber) then you will get off a full Evocation for plenty more mana.

Now kill Whitemane and Mograine again when she resurrects him. You're done!

This little run nets me 6-8g in change not to mention any vendor trash, greens, blues and cloth that drop off all the mobs you just killed. Plus if you are an enchanter you can DE the Boss blues from Scarlet Commander Mograine and HIgh Inquisitor Whitemane sell the shards in AH.

This run take a whopping 10 minutes tops after you run it a few times to get patrol behaviors memorized and I average 12-16g after counting all the change, cloth, random greens and blues, plus shards.

My AoE spell order tends to go like this:

Frost Nova (and strafe away about 8-10 yards)
Flamestrike (immediately followed by)
Cone of Cold
Cold Snap
Frost Nova (and strafe away about 8-10 yards)
Flamestrike (immediately followed by)
Cone of Cold
Blink (away from mobs obviously)
Blizzard
Arcane Explosion (repeat till all dead except Mograine)
Kill Mograine and Whitemane as explained above.

Most of them die in the Blizzard and Arcane Explosion gets the stragglers. And since it will take a little time to get back to the Boss Room again all your cooldowns should be up so you can start fresh!

As far as gear goes, obviously the better your gear the easier this is. Mine is not that great so any 60 mage can pull this off.

I have 5/8 Magister, 3/8 Sorcerer, Orb of the Darkmoon, and 2 Freezing Band. So many folks will have better.

Derek's Gold Mastery Guide: The New Gold Maker on the Block

Derek's Gold Mastery Guide

So I ran across the newest gold guide on the block, Derek's Gold Mastery Guide. It looked good and I'm a sucker for gold guides, so I picked it up. Man was I impressed. I consider myself a fairly casual players, usually logging on for a few hours a couple of times a week. This guide was able to help a player like me increase my gold making by five times, in the same amount of game time. Pretty impressive. I'm not at the 200 gold an hour like the guide suggests, but I'm slowly working my way there. One of the big benefits is the gold making professions. I can't give them away, but the guide explains what the best ones are and how to maximize the profession to make the most gold.

Everything in the guide is within the TOS (terms of service)of WoW so there are no concerns about getting an account banned or anything. The gold I've made from the tips in the guide would have easily cost me $200 or more online and it really didn't take that long to make it.

The downside is that Derek's Gold Mastery Guide does have a real cost to it ($47), but I can say with full confidence that it's worth every penny.....and then some. If you want to know how to make gold fast in Warcraft, then this is the guide for you, regardless of your character level. I give it 5 stars. Easily one of the top World of Warcraft Gold Guides available.
