10 Best World of Warcraft Gold Farming Strategies

by Jim Wapp

Here’s a compilations of World of Warcraft gold tips and strategies that I believe every WoW player should know. I have gathered them from my personal experience and they have served me very well in the past.

1. It’s been mentioned many times, but if you are just starting the WoW, your first character need to take on gathering professions. In my opinion, Mining and Herbalism are two of the most profitable at this time.

2. Auction every single item that is not gray. Mass mail everything to an Alt to save time.

3. All the green items that you find should be saved and mailed to an alternative character, when you have collected bags full of them, you should tip (generously) an Enchanter to disenchant them. Shard and Dusts are selling at an incredible rate and I can only foresee even better outcomes when the Wrath of the Lich King comes out.

4. Get addons: Auctioneer, Gatherer, Atlasloot, TitansPanel (or FuBar). This provides some very useful additional information that the default UI does not offer.

5. Supply your goods from your gathering professions to crafters in top guilds on your server. Doing this will guarantee sales and you eliminate the Auction House cut.

6. When Mining, keep in mind that Silver and Tin shares a spawning node; Gold and Iron shares another one; and the same applies for Truesilver and Mithril. For example, if you are only looking for Gold Ores, you MUST mine all the iron nodes as well because this will increase the overall Gold Node spawns.

7. Like Jewelcrafting, I foresee Inscription to be big in the Wrath of the Lich King. Get this profession if you already have characters with maxed gathering professions.

8. Watch the Blizzard calendar and pay attention to in-game events. Certain items will be in very high demand in certain times of the year. A fortune could be made by purchasing or farming these items in bulk prior to the event.

9. Understanding World of Warcraft Economy. Not as complicated as the real world economy, but it follows the same basic principle: supply and demand. You need to look for items that are low in supply and high in demand.

Let’s look at this example, on a Realm like Mal’Ganis where it is dominated by raiding guilds, the demand for certain items (pots and flasks?) will be very high, if the supply cannot match the demand, the price will rise to balance things out.

10. Enjoy the game, there are so many methods to make decent amount of gold in WoW, you just have to pick one and be as efficient as possible with that one method. After all this is a game, you are here to have fun!

These 10 Gold Tips have certainly helped me tremendously in World of Warcraft, I hope it does the same for you.

Make World of Warcraft Gold in TBC

by James Barnett

I reached level 70 and purchased my epic flying gryphon I wanted to learn where the best farming spots where and where to pick up the best drops.

If you are new to the Outland, I can tell you now that it is the place to grab up some of the best drops in World of Warcraft, motes are great and if you farm the correct spots, you can easily pick up a few primals an hour which sell for good amounts of gold.

A great place to grind is in Hellfire on the eastern edge where the Voidwalkers spawn. These Voidwalkers drop silver, some greens and quite often, motes of shadow which can be turned into Primal Shadows.

Nagrand is another great place to farm, me being a skinner, I farm for Thick Clefthoof Leather which high level leather workers buy for a high price. At level 70, the Clefthoof are easy to kill.

Not a skinner? You may want to check out Nagrand for the Voidwalkers around Oshu’Gun and just south of there on the edge, they drop a lot of Motes. The Shattered Rumblers have great mote of earth drop rate and the Voidwraiths drop mote of shadows.

I think Netherstorm is the best place in the game to pick up Netherweave Cloth, the name pretty much says it all, and the amount of humanoids that are in this area is utterly crazy. You’ll also obtain a ton of other good drops from killing the humanoids in Netherstorm such as Sunfury Signets, which fetch a nice amount from the AH.

If you aren’t level 70 yet, you may wish to head over to Terokkar Forrest and kill the Bloodelfs at Firewing point or the Arakkoa that are in a few different places. The Bloodelfs drop Firewing Signets, not as good as the Sunfury Signet, but they drop a lot of them and go for about 50S to 1G each on the AH. The Arakkoa bird-guys (I think they are called Talonite) drop Arakkoa feathers which sell great on the AH as well.

While on the subject of Terokkar Forrest, you could kill the Spiders that drop Netherweb Silk, this silk is very rare and if you farm a bunch of it, you will make tons of gold very quickly. In 2 hours you could farm 2 or 3 stacks and these things go for 10G each, sometimes more than that… Simple gold to be made!

Why The Wii Is So Hard To Find

by Evangeline Todd

People are still wondering when the Nintendo Wii will be released. We commonly hear questions about the Wii from people who have heard about it, but who don’t know if it’s out yet or it will be released. The irony is that the Wii was released in 2006, but many people still don’t know it has been released because it is so hard to find.

What has made the Wii so tough to locate? The fact is that there is tremendous demand for the console. Things like the domino effect happen when demand reaches such a high level. The response to the question is: Supply vs. Demand.

Nintendo created a great deal of hype about this product before it was released, that people were ready to buy when it came out. People were standing in lines that were blocks long, in the cold, in the snow, in the rain, in the heat, just to get their hands on the Wii.

All around the world, people lined up at stores during opening time, yet most people left empty handed. If you weren’t fortunate enough to be among the first ten people in line, you simply wasted your time and received nothing in return. Why? The truth is that Nintendo did not produce enough.

So, even if you heard about the Wii and got excited, you have not been able to find one, so that leaves you to ponder the question when is the Nintendo Wii coming out? Now, instead of pondering that question, you should be pondering how you are going to get one. The demand exceeds the supply, which means that the Wii is a hard to find little gadget.

Supply not meeting demand is not a new concept. Many manufacturers have started doing this for different reasons. However, the main reason boils down to the fact that over the years they have tried to create a high demand, thus they have produced a large amount of supply, only to see that the supply exceeded the demand.

When a company produces more products (in this case consoles) than is needed, they are forced to drop prices. So the companies have adapted to this by releasing only limited amounts of consoles to keep the demand high. This keeps people actively hunting for one while your forced to hear about your friends and family enjoying there’s!

So why is the Nintento Wii so hard to find and when will it be coming out? The good news is, it’s already been released. The bad news is, there is a high demand for the Wii, so you not only have to wait to find one for sale, but understand that the prices will also be staying high. The company isn’t having a hard time selling them, so there’s no reason for them to lower their pricing.

Watching TV on Your PC

by Jeff Franklin

Yes, you can get satellite TV directly on your computer in spite of what people say. There is a software program that aggregates these channels and all you have to have is a good computer and high speed Internet. With this, you can get over 4,000 channels – live video. I must tell you that this is powerful because where else can you get that choice with absolutely no monthly fees? Here’s how.

The software I want to talk about is an aggregator software developed over the past few years specifically to bring the channels together at your fingertips so you can watch TV right on your PC. There are so many choices that you may find yourself getting addicted to watching TV this way, as I did. Because of the way the channels are linked there is no monthly fee. And you’d be interested to know that it is totally legal.

Watching TV on your PC with this software is very legal because these channels have already been cleared for broadcast via the Internet. There is no illegal form or a hack to some satellite or cable network. And the software is legal as well with no spyware or viruses. I also found a few different options with this in that the more expensive models carry many more channels than the cheaper ones. With my background, I know this is a good deal.

My background is 15 years in radio and TV right in the big Dallas/Fort Worth market. With my own talk show I was sent so many gizmos in those years but none compare to this piece that I’ve used so many times for sports – soccer games from Brazil to matches of UK teams I would have missed locally. It’s a great value, really.

This probably is going to end up sounding like an 30 minute commercial for the crazy software, and I don’t want it to be that. All I want is for you to know that you’re going to be pleased with this software to watch TV on your PC. And it’s so cheap I thought there was some problem. Turns out, they have sold thousands of these now and the price is right. It finds channels so quickly, I know it’s saved me hours channel surfing – literally. And if you think it’s too complicated for you, it’s not.

I am not Bill Gates when it comes to these PC’s and in fact I have a buddy named Dennis who comes over every so often to check my computer. But when I looked at the instructions for this satellite TV for PC software, I knew I could handle it without calling Dennis. And guess what? It installed smoothly and easily – I still remember it. There’s one more quick point I have to tell you.

This software simply sits on your computer ready for you to use. Provided you have a high speed connection, whether that be wireless, or on your network cable, you can get the cable TV channels. There is no hardware to install at all. I was really amazed and pleased. It is so convenient. But I fear these things aren’t going to last forever.

And even if they do increase the price – and I’m sure it won’t double – but if it did – it would be worth it. I just paid over $150 for a DVD player… and this is much less than that. I installed on my PC and notebook – which I suppose is OK. I can take that wherever they have wireless and watch TV. And that’s pretty sweet.

by Benny Hastings

Late in December 2006 Nintendo finally released the long awaited Nintendo Wii, and they have not look back since selling 24 million units worldwide. This system has been one of the most sought after systems of all times, and has been come increasingly hard to find.

However a common question you may ask yourself with so many units sold is why then the shortage?

Many of you may be wondering if the Wii is truly worth searching for if you can simply purchase a Xbox 360 or a PS3.

Well do not despair the Wii is worth the wait. After you try a Wii you will see just how much it was worth waiting for and see why so many where asking when is the Nintendo Wii coming out.

Although many electronics stores stock the Wii, it may be a very great challenge to discover who really has the Wii available. Many times you may learn of a retailer having a Wii in stock only to arrive and be told the exact opposite.

The Wii normally retails for $249.99 but it is very difficult to locate it at that price with retailers knowing its popularity, they are constantly trying to overcharge for the Wii, forcing many shoppers to spend more than they had originally budgeted.

Making YouTube Videos Your Zune Videos

by Rashel Dan

The best video players around is Zune. This is because of the awesome sound it produces as well as its large screen.

Online Subscriptions – One can also get free or monthly subscription videos from sites but what about all those amateur and funny videos that everybody has been watching on YouTube? There is no way to stream the videos directly on the Zune player but with the right tools and processes, you too can have the YouTube videos played on your Zune.

The Format

All Zune players play one of three formats: MOV, WMV (which is the Microsoft Windows standard codec), and MPEG4. YouTube videos are never on this format. In fact, YouTube videos are more likely to be in the 3GP format that is recorded by mobile devices from phones or in the FLV format that is actually Flash-based video.

This makes the video lighter and therefore easier to stream online. But the beauty of this is that the videos on YouTube can be ripped and therefore can be converted into Zune videos that can be used on the player.

What You Need

Internet Connection – To get all these FLV videos, you will need access to YouTube and thus a computer and an Internet connection. You will then need software called YouTuber Video Downloader. Once installed, right click on the icon and then select the New Download option. You then add a new download by copying and pasting a link of your desired YouTube video into the box next to the word URL. Choose a folder where you would like to save the video and click OK.

Getting Freeware – Now, the next thing you need is a freeware and this can also be downloaded for free online. This software can convert FLV files to MPEG4 and it can also convert many other types of formats. All you have to do is configure all the settings so that the output of the video will be MPEG4. Select the flash video that you downloaded from YouTube and drag it into the empty space in the software. Click the Encode button and just wait for the file to be converted.

Sync PC with Zune – Now, once you have the video converted, all you have to do is sync your Zune with your PC. Make sure that the new MPEG4 is in the folder where the Zune checks for videos. This is one of the best ways to get videos that you want from YouTube and if you can find videos from other sites in the FLV format and download them, you can go through the same conversion process to make them playable on your Zune. A simple sync of the converted files and you can enjoy your new Zune videos downloaded from YouTube!

Sending Video Greetings is now Speedy, Easy and Entertaining

by Steve Collins

Have you ever desired a simpler way to stay in contact with friends? Sure, everyone has cell phones and email these days, but sometimes you just want to say “Hey-thinking of you!” without the commitment of a thirty phone conversation or the effort of typing a clever message. That is where video greetings are useful!

Video greetings are miniature videos-just seconds long-that are laugh-out-loud funny. There are greetings for all occasions, or no occasion at all. You can express just about anything from Valentine greetings to the email equivalent of a daily raspberry. For someone with a fairly offbeat sense of humor, it is the coolest way to stay in touch with friends.

A video greeting is also a funny way to flirt with someone who shares your twisted sense of humor. Use these saucy little greetings to express interest in hooking up with a person of interest or to thank someone for a rocking good evening. There are also romantic videos for those couples already an item. In addition to ecards intended just for Valentine’s Day, there are daily Valentines to keep the fire burning.

The more you flip through the greetings, the more you realize that pretty much any occasion has a corresponding video greeting, from inviting someone to prom or congratulating them on an new arrival to simply wishing someone a nice day (albeit with gun toting smiley-face emoticons). And what is really a bonus is that you get to enjoy all the laughs yourself as you view the selections before making your choice! You get a laugh; your friend gets a laugh. Everyone is happy.

So if you have a few appropriately mischievous-minded friends with whom you wish to stay in touch, keep the lines of communication open with video ecards. After all, who does not like sharing a good laugh with a friend? Just be prepared for the stares of people wondering why you are snickering to yourself in front of your computer.

watch satellite tv online

by Jeff Franklin

I’ve written before about the joys of streaming video, but some have written saying they want to know how to get cable TV on their computers. And it’s totally possible – in a way – with a new program that handles some 4000 streaming video channels which makes TV watching on your PC, a breeze. Just imagine the fun you can have surfing that many channels in hundreds of countries?! Let’s dig in.

A program for watching satellite TV online is an aggregator of the thousands of channels that are transmitting on the Internet. You select what type of broadcast you’d like to watch and you’re watching within a few seconds. You can quickly surf through sports and movies channels and find something the will catch your attention. These programs do not actually connect to a satellite feed somewhere. The term satellite is used loosely and indicates that many of the channels are also available on satellite feeds.

Are programs for watching satellite TV online legal? Yes, they are and the reason they are is because they are simply gathering totally free and legal channels and collecting them in the aggregator. You are watching feeds that are not premium. In fact, you won’t find any premium or paid satellite feeds on this software program. The great benefit is that it allows you to quickly watch programming anywhere you can take your computer.

Since there are numerous programs claiming to do the same thing – the satellite TV to PC idea – I had to quickly find out the differences. Mainly, I found, is in the amount of channels available. The higher end programs have literally more channels that I could ever watch in a year – up to 4,000. But something that caught my interest is that there are some knock-offs that actually have Trojan viruses in them. And how can you be sure to get a safe one?

And it’s good to know that it’s only software that you install – very simply I must add. There is no other hardware required, no TV cards, no cables. It is all done through the Internet and every modern computer has the processing power to watch cable TV on their computer. So it’s very convenient.

To watch free satellite TV on your PC, all you need a modern computer, anything purchased within the last 5 years. The software that brings these channels to your screen is an aggregator. You find the programs you’d like to watch and they will be ready to be displayed within seconds. Most play through Windows Media Player. The software to watch free satellite TV on my PC is a one-time purchase. And it’s so easy to download and install.

Support of the software is generally by email. However, I have to say, and I’m not just saying this for the article, this thing was a point and click and no need to configuration type of install. Am pretty sure most kids could install it. And it easily uninstalls as well. There is no spyware and the company or software does not query your PC for any data. Rest assured that this is a pretty good deal for the money.

The time is here, the technology is here, and video is here to stay. But this program with the one-time fee may change. In fact this is probably the best time to buy this because we did see some companies starting to charge monthly fees for the service. The particular programs we looked at did not at the time of this writing.
