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.

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

can take your next 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!
