Gold Guide Essentials

WoW gold guides are all over the place, many different guides by many different authors. Because of this you need to be careful when considering a purchase. There are several different things to consider before buying a guide, the following are a few of the important things to look for.

World of Warcraft gold guides have to have certain things that make them worth the buy. The first thing is the size of the primary guide. Now that sounds like a no-brainer, but let me quickly explain. When you buy a gold guide, it usually comes with more than one WoW guide, there is the main guide and then the supplemental guides. That's why the primary one is so important. Look for at least 200 pages for the main one, that is just an approximation but I have found that if they're at least 200 pages it means they usually have nice maps, nice screenshots and detailed walkthroughs.

Also make sure the WoW gold guide package has at least 2 supplemental guides. One definitely has to be an Auction House guide, and another should be a fishing manual of some sort. I chose those two because it is in mastering the Auction House where you will make most of your big bucks. You must be able to understand the market and know when demand is high for your supplies. Fishing is a overlooked way to profit, the fishing manual should teach you at the very least which fish are the most profitable, where to find them, and what you need to do to level up the Fishing Profession to be able to get the rod and bait to attract the expensive fishes. Don't take this as gospel for the supplemental guides because a great main guide will always outweigh a nice set of supplementals.

WoW gold guides should have a list of professions that can be used to profit with. Ideally, they will also show you how to level the Profession as fast as possible.

Quest walkthroughs are also a good addition to a complete World of Warcraft gold guide package. Quests can be very profitable if you know what you get when the quest is completed. That's why the walkthroughs are important because you don't waste time on quests that aren't profitable. The quests walkthroughs should focus only on the most profit making ones.

This cannot be overlooked, it should have a members forum or at a minimum you should have the ability to contact the author personally for help. This is self-explanatory.

There you go, that is the basic criteria you need for a good World of Warcraft gold guide. Below are a list of some of the best WoW gold guides that meet most of the criteria above.
