So Derek, Who Are You?
I'm just another World of Warcraft player that
has hit success. I'm the author of
“
Derek's Gold Mastery
Guide”.
It's a detailed Gold Guide that shows you my exact strategies and
how you can make thousands of gold in a short period of time. If
you take the link above you can also see my video displaying my
27,000g.
I am just another common player who looked at World
of Warcraft as a competition, not a game. When I played
during Beta I thought it was a very fun game, I sat back and
relaxed while enjoying the game.
You Can Learn How too!

Something changed when the game released. I watched
other players SPEED through levels, and get tons of gold to
buy all the cool items, walking around in their expensive
items only made me jealous.
This forced me to want to do something about it. I
spent plenty of time researching, and following players,
asking them questions, questioning them on what exactly they
were doing to make gold.
At the same time there was a guild on my server
known as “BlackCat” the guild was full of Chinese Farmers.
The guild had a bad reputation on the server and they were
known for being scammers, Ninja Looters and Chinese Farmers.
So I begged and begged to get into the guild, and I fought
through broken English for them to finally give me an invite
to the guild!
This is where everything clicked. I followed them
around, I questioned my new guild mates, I was in Zul'Farrak
doing 5man runs with them, I was in Uldaman, Scarlet
Monestary, I was following them around to unique farming
zones all over the game. Some of them I know about, but some
of them would just blow you away if you were to find out
about them.
During this process of learning I also found a forum
that still exists today. It is a forum that players frequent
to trade,buy, and sell gold, items, accounts mainly for World
of Warcraft but other games are found there
too.
So I decided to experiment a little bit and I sold
some gold. When I got the money into my paypal account, it
nearly drove me nuts. I kept thinking of ways to make gold,
and make actual money from that gold!
This expanded and expanded until I began moving into
selling actual characters to other players. This made even
more money! I wasn't done there, my desire to learn, and
experience only continued.
My success continued when I made five level 1
characters and ran them directly to the auction house. Once
they were all in place, I went back and scanned the auction
house with a new add-on I found. This add-on is well known
today but it was just beginning back then. This add-on was
Auctioneer, an add-on that is heavily discussed
in
my
guide.
I used this program heavily.
If you don't know what it is, it's a program that.
stores, tracks and analyzes data from the auction house so
you can make profits.
While they were scanning I would be farming on each
of those new servers, just leveling up a rogue to make some
quick gold. I would usually farm until I got about 2 gold on
each server, and thats when the fun really
began.
I used this 2 gold that I got, and I marched it all
the way into making hundreds of gold on each of these
servers. This gold wasn't used for anything but making more
money. I took the gold I made and I sent it over to gold
farming companies, they would buy it from me at a decent
price and then sell it to the population for a
killing.
Each day I would play on each of my 7 servers,
probably around 20-30 minutes a day each. That is anywhere
between 2.25 hours to 3.5 hours a day. The rest of the time I
spent on my characters having fun, massing gold on my main
character, or leveling up another character to sell on the
Traders forum.
Warcraft Riches Tells You
How!
This is my story in a nutshell. I wanted to share
some of my secrets with you, and to share some of my stories
with you that I have experienced over the time of my career
in WoW. So I hope you read through this so you don't make the
same mistakes that I did and hopefully this will make you
become like me quicker.
When I started
When I started playing WoW I was very confused,
lost, and to be dead honest with you I nearly gave up on my
character about 15-20 times on the way to level 60. I had a
bit of an excuse back then, but it was mainly because
Warlocks were horrible, and VERY VERY hard to play back then.
This was the most unplayed class for a long time because they
were nerfed so hard at the release of the game. (Funny now,
that they are one of the most dominant
classes).
It actually took me around (Queue laughter) 28
days played to make it to level 60 my first time through.
It's embarrassing I know! I probably shouldn't go around
telling people this.
Since that horrible trip to level 60, I started
learning quicker ways to level. My brother and I would have
competition leveling through certain points to see who could
get it quicker. We measured it in days played, until it came
to a point where we had a formula down where we could level
to 60 in 5-6 days.
I was miserable when it came to gold. When epic
mounts came out, I never thought I would get one. It was
nearly impossible to farm that much gold (at that
time).
I took a business course in High School and just
like most addicted players, WoW was constantly on my mind. I
thought of different ways I could make money from WoW and it
was right in front of me all that time. We constantly talked
about the stock market, and discussed how people make money
from it daily.
I thought about how it applied to WoW and it
hit me like a ton of bricks “The Auction house!”. So I had
about 80 gold. I fooled around in the auction house trying to
find out what I could buy and resell on the auction house for
a quick profit. You know.. Just like all those smart people
do daily at the Stock Market.
So there I was.. Staring at the auction house
wondering what Items would sell for more. Boy did I choose
wrong. I lost 60 of that gold within two days. I had a little
bit of success, if not I would have lost all of that
gold.
I decided I would do some simple research to try and
find which items sold very quickly, and which items would
have to sit on the auction house for a little bit to sell.
Those are the ones that I did not want.
I then got the idea to farm up enough gold to
buy out EVERY auction of one type. To be honest with you I
started with Heavy Leather. So I went out to
grind 45g. This was fairly simple to do, small amounts of
gold are very easy to farm.
When I finally got that gold, I headed straight to
the auction house. My plan was simple, buy out all the Heavy
Leather, and re-list it to get a profit, and then if anyone
else listed it for lower, I would just continue to buy it out
and sell it for higher.
It took about 30 minutes until I realized I
just hit gold. (Literally) I had
85gsitting in my mailbox before an hour even went by.
I took that gold and I immediately tried to target something
else. I duplicated for about 3 hours which was about 2am that
morning. Within that three hours I had 260g sitting in my
bags.
The success just rolled
in!
It was very easy after this initial
boost. The gold continued to steadily run in. I taught myself new
strategies, like linking items FROM the auction house into the
trade channel. This would get buyers interested and I would give
them a markup price from the auction house. This was an immediate
profit machine.
There was
one day when I made 2,000g
in one day. This was my biggest day
in my life. It was also the day where I learned my biggest lesson
from the Auction House. The same night I got that 2,000g I ended up
losing 400g of it later that night by making mistakes on the
auction house (at that time I felt like they were smart moves). I
realized I invested into items of no value, and inside my head I
was feeling a little shaky on if I was making the right choices or
not. With-in 3 days I lost that 2,000g and I continued to lose
more. It was on a steady increase
downwards.
I stopped buying on the auction house
for about 2 weeks. I decided just to level characters up to 60 and
sell the accounts off for a while. I thought I lost my
touch.
I came to realize now that you have to
be comfortable in the Auction House to play it correctly. You have
to be willing to lose money to make it. You have to be willing to
make bad choices to learn the right ones. Most importantly, you
have to be willing to trust in your decisions that you will pick
the right choices.
All you are really doing is playing the
odds. “This item sells for 2g, if I buy it now I can make 1g,
assuming a flood of farmers don't come and undercut me.” This is a
very low end example but it's a constant ringing in most players
head.
To be successful on the Auction House
you have to trust in your decisions. There is a reason we do
anything, and when you do something on the auction house, you have
to be thinking to yourself, “I just made the right decision, given
my current circumstances.”
I personally learned this from playing
Poker – you can make ALL the right moves and still lose. Going on a
bad run makes you feel like you are doing everything wrong, this
means you change up your game. (some times without you even knowing
it) If you were playing the game correctly, and now you changed it
up, you are now obviously playing wrong. This means you are set to
lose EVEN more.
This is a very big lesson that everyone
needs to learn in the auction house. It's not something to overlook
– if you plan to play the auction house for thousands of gold
daily, you are going to want to take this advice and stash it in
your pocket for when the time arises.
On Every
Server...
After I started trusting myself I
created new characters on 5-6 servers. I created a rogue, leveled
him up to ten, and usually had a gold by then.
I sat him by the auction house and
started building up gold. I repeated this process on 5-6 servers
until the gold just started rolling in.
It came to a point where I was raking in
money left and right on the servers I played on. I would log on
each day, play the auction house on every character and log out for
the day. I would sit on an account maybe 20-30 minutes. I would
pull in a couple hundred to a thousand gold and log into the next
account.
After
building up around 90,000g
(added up on
all the characters) I decided to start selling the gold to
other players. I continued to sell gold for a very long time
until blizzard started banning players for breaking the
economy.
I sold
to players on forums, I sold to Chinese Farm Companies, and then I
finally put my own website up. I had orders for the servers I was
playing on, and it nearly depleted my gold on those
servers.
I payed
my brother to start playing the AH on some servers to, there was
just tons of money to rake in with the knowledge I had. We
continued to do this until the ban waves started to roll
in.
Fortunately none of my accounts were banned. I sold the account
which included:
2x Level
60's (Hunter, Rogue)
9 level 10's on
separate servers, which counted to a total
of 109,578g
3 Twink Characters (2x Level 19, 1x
level 29)
4x Characters between
51-57
I ended up
selling this to a person who still contracts to companies
such as IGE and Gamepal. To give you an idea of how much the
deal was made for, we worked out a
deal. 175$
per level
60. 65$
per
1,000g
– The remaining characters were not
needed to him since he was only interested in gold, and characters
he could use to farm more of it for the companies he was contracted
to. So for the remaining characters he just pitched
in 125$
to sweeten the
pot.
He then turned around and probably made
double the profit from this account.
You can do the math on how much money I
made in that one transaction.
Unfortunately it's not that easy to sell
gold, to sell characters, or to sell services. If it was I would
constantly be offering services to other players.
When all
is said and done, I kept my own account which finally held
around 3,000g
. Back then this was more then enough
gold then a player needed, but I continued to build it until it's
where it is at presently:
27,000g.
Am I done here?
Absolutely not. I plan to continually update my gold, and I'm
pushing to have
100,000g
on one
account.
The main
reason for this is because I'm so competitive. Nobody has had a
real account with 6 figures of gold on one character. I have had 6
figures, but they were spread through different characters. I want
to get all of this gold, on one character.
There's
many reasons behind this goal – the main one would be to see if
blizzard would flag my account, and ban me for no reason at all!
(I'm almost certain they would). If you want to follow my journey,

step into crushing the competition on your
server.
My Learning
Experience
It took me two years to learn all the
auction house methods that I know now. Right now is the easiest
time to make money from the auction house since the increase in
gold. Burning crusade flooded many accounts with gold, and this
gives us the opportunity to make money from players that never used
to have the amount of gold we were targeting.
In a
market where 10g-20g
was a decent size purchase for most
players, it's now increased to where
20-25g
is a common price for a stack of
materials.
Your epic flying mount is now 5,000g
away from you, instead of it being 1,000g as it was before. So this
means you have to know ever more about gold to get your prized
possession.
It can
take you the same amount of time if you want to learn
everything by yourself, but you don't have to struggle that
way! I created this guide, and my Gold Strategy Guide to
speed that process up for you. Make sure you check out my
guide:
Derek's Gold Mastery
Guide.
If you plan on doing anything in world
of warcraft, from raiding, to pvp, to power leveling other
characters, no matter what it is, you will need Gold on your
character. Why struggle with something that is so easy to obtain if
you know the simple steps to making it? I'm giving you the
opportunity of a lifetime to learn the exact methods a player who
has made thousands of dollars from this game
uses.
Conclusion
I want to
show you the exact methods because I'm tired of Chinese
farmers ripping players off with the prices they make you pay
for gold, and power leveling. WoW is a very easy game to play
if you just know how.
Let me show you
how!
Before I end this though, I do want to
thank you for your time, and I thank you for reading my story. This
story alone has inspired players to taking their games to another
level just like I do everyday. I hope I had the opportunity to
inspire you because thats my goal with this report. I hope to see
you on the otherside, where all of us Gold Farmers meet up, share
our stories, and share our strategies. See you
there!
