Cataclysm Gold
Secrets
Please feel free to pass this report around
Three Reasons You’ll Need More Gold for Cataclysm
Cataclysm is almost here. You can almost feel the rapid heartbeats of 13 million rabid WoW fans
around the world beating in tandem as they wait breathlessly for the next set of new content to finally
land. But, if this is your first expansion or if you just didn’t pay much attention the last time around, you
may want to know that there are a few good reasons to upgrade your gold making efforts before the
new x-pac gets here and you find yourself woefully underfunded.
New Gear and Consumables
Whenever a new expansion lands there are plenty of ways to spend gold and while you won’t
need much for the first 5 levels up to Level 85, you will need some big cash the second you hit 85 to buy
your first raiding gear, at least if you don’t want to grind on 5 man dungeons for two months. Crafted
epics can go for 1000+ gold each and yet you’ll need a bunch of them to get yourself fully prepared.
Consumables are no better.
Mounts, Skills Ups, and Quests
We all know that flying in the old world is coming, but how much will it cost. And if there are
new mount types, like Wrath’s mammoths, how much will those cost? The odds are that you’re going to
be spending a few thousand gold developing the skills and mounts you need just to get around. And
don’t forget all those early quests that you’ll get gouged on. Remember the Overcharged Capacitor.
Greedy Engineers were making 150 gold a pop on those puppies last time around.
Profession Leveling
One of the first things that any Level 80+ character will want to do is to get their professions
levelled up immediately. That requires a lot of gold in some cases, with brand new materials and
massive demand across the board. If you’re a crafter and need herbs or ore, expect to spend thousands
upon thousands of gold getting what you need to reach the new skill level cap.
The truth is that any new expansion pack is a huge gold sink, but with two already under our
belts and inflation nearly out of control, you can bet that Cataclysm will push things to an entirely new
level of expensiveness. Be ready for whatever may come and have some gold on hand now and you’ll do
well.

Things to Do Before Cataclysm Launches
Cataclysm is only a few months away, and that means that players are already getting ready for
it. Some players have been making bucket lists and prepping their accounts since last August
when the expansion pack was first announced. Others are just now getting excited as we get
closer to the start of beta. Whichever camp you’re in, you likely have a list of things you want to
get out of the way before the new content lands.
Achievements – First up, there are the achievements that might disappear from the game
when the new expansion pack finally lands and the old world is changed. If you’ve yet to get
your exploration achievements or your loremasters, you need to get out there and clear them
up before your opportunities dry up for good and new ones are introduced. We have no proof
this will happen, but you’d rather be safe than sorry.
Gold Stashes – We all know how inflation works in WoW, so you may as well build up a nice
gold stash before the new content hits in the fall. If you don’t have a good chunk of gold set
aside, things like Old World flying, new gear, and all the professions you want to level up will be
much harder to complete.
Leveling in the Old World – Have any old world characters you haven’t yet levelled up? Now is
the time to do it before their starting areas are changed forever. Sure, the new starting sections
will be more fun soon, but you still want to see the way it was when the game was released.
Already, major changes are coming down. Act fast before Blizzard changes this aspect of the
game forever.
Gear and PvP – If you’re a gear hound, you’d better get into the dungeons and start farming
before the gear is made too easy to be worth your time. We all know how Blizzard likes to tone
down difficulty at the end of an expansion and we’re getting very close to that happening. The
PvP seasons will start wrapping up soon too, leaving you with less things to farm on.
If you’re still working on the Lich King or just out there farming gold, consider writing up a solid
list of things that you’d like to work on as you prepare for the launch of our next big expansion,
because time is running short to take advantage of the content we’ve been playing for the last
18 months.
How Much Will Things Cost in Cataclysm?
There are a lot of people out there right now trying to figure out just how much the new items
and gear will cost in Cataclysm. While we have no clear idea what the economy will look like
when Cataclysm launches, we can make some pretty sound guesses based on the last two
expansions. Wrath especially saw a sharp increase in value of items and the need for massive
chunks of gold. Gold sinks were in full effect with Mammoths and flying upgrades, but there
was also gear like Titansteel or the Primordial Saronite from 3.3 that was selling for over 1,000
gold a piece for a time.
So, what will we see when Cataclysm launches. Blizzard has already mentioned a gold cap
increase rumor a few times – which could be a signal of really expensive gold sinks.
Additionally, we’re likely to see some highly valuable new materials that will be harder to farm
than ever before due to limited space and new zones.
The Cost of Raw Materials
Generally speaking, you probably won’t see a massive burst in value for any single trade good.
There is no new primary profession this time around, so mining and herbalism will hold steady
for now. However, Wrath set a precedent for prospecting and titansteel – both of which will
likely return in new forms for the rare ore in Cataclysm. We might also see more uses for the
rare herbs, and possibly a way to finally balance out skinning and engineering in this regard.
If Blizzard introduces gathering methods for other crafting professions as well, you can all but
expect a huge, across the board surge in prices for these specialty farmed goods.
When it comes to gear, the prices are almost always tied to the cost of materials (set by the
market) and the availability of certain other items in the dungeons. In short, if Blizzard makes
anything even harder to get, the prices will be sky high.
Expect Level 85 crafted raiding epics to go for thousands of gold in the first two months. But,
how much will they settle at? That’s a hard one to tell, and for now the only thing we can really
do is start gathering up as much gold as possible and prepare for what is to come next, when
Cataclysm finally launches.

Understanding World of Warcraft Inflation
With Cataclysm coming up on us very soon and the final vestiges of Wrath finally wrapping up,
it’s time that we start looking at the phenomenon that is inflation. If you’ll recall, Blizzard was
eager to reduce inflation last time around and backed it up by trying to suck some gold out of
the economy and cutting back on opportunities for players to farm on mobs in the wild.
Unfortunately, it didn’t really work. Sure, eternals and furs are not worth the same as they were
in TBC, but things like Titanium were worth hundreds of gold and with costs in the 20,000 gold
range for mammoths and choppers, the value of gold dropped sharply. Whereas you could only
make 250 gold an hour in TBC, players were putting up numbers anywhere from 600 to 1000
gold an hour in Wrath.
So, where are we going in Cataclysm and what does it mean for the economy? Already, we’re
hearing rumors of the gold cap being raised by Blizzard when the new content hits. With so
many players already hitting the gold cap (the hardcore only of course) and some players doing
it on multiple characters, this isn’t a big surprise.
The Effects of Inflation
One of the biggest effects of inflation is that certain old zones immediately lose all value for the
hardcore player. Outland became a wasteland when Wrath was released because all of the
items there were worth so much less historically than the new items. Old world items finally
started to resurge some, but we can expect the Northrend and Outland items alike to be less
useful and far less valuable when Cataclysm hits. Even if the prices remain constant, gold value
will drop due to new items that are worth even more.
In essence, if items inflate across the board and incomes go up with it, no one really gets hurt.
But, when it comes to some gold making methods, the opportunities are dwindling fast. There
was a time when daily quests and herb farming would make plenty of gold for a player. These
days, it would take weeks to pay for top end gear with that kind of plan. It will likely only get
worse when Cataclysm hits.
If you’re a fan of gold farming and buying the newest, coolest stuff in the game, prepare to
need even more advanced, clever strategies than ever before to truly master the inflation curve
that will be Cataclysm.
Five Tips to Make Gold Before Cataclysm Hits
The secret to making gold in World of Warcraft is to anticipate what you will need and then to
pour a ton of energy into being prepared for the next big change. Just look at the volume of
gold people made when they were ready for the Inscription change in 3.0 or the Epic Gems in
3.2 or the Titansteel changes in 3.3. The game revolves around being reading for these changes
and then jumping in them.
So, with Cataclysm finally starting to run up on us, it’s time to sit back and consider what you
need to do to prepare for the next big change to the game. Obviously, it’s a bit early to start
talking about what will make gold in Cataclysm. We don’t know what’s coming. But, you can
start planning for the pre-launch rush on certain items.
1. Get Your Alts Settled – If you don’t have a solid auction house alt with enough bags,
solid enchanting skill, and plenty of data on your add-ons, now is the time to start building it up.
I would also recommend having a couple of farming alts prepped up too. Save some spots for
your new Goblin or Worgen, but get those other slots filled.
2. Max Out Professions – The big thing that always gains gold in month one of a profession
is gathering professions and crafting professions that make top level intro raiding gear. So, get
your professions maxed out and prepped for the new skill levels coming our way.
3. Reduce Back Stock – If you have 300 Frost Lotuses laying around, start pealing them off
as you can. If you made the mistake of holding on to TBC gems or skins before 3.0 came out,
you know how much gold can be lost this way.
4. Stick to Your Gear – Unless you need a gear upgrade for a specific dungeon or PvP,
don’t spend all your gold on it just yet. You’ll be tossing that gear in the bin once the new
expansion is out anyways.
5. Leveling – Level up your alts and start stockpiling that gold. You’re going to want to
enjoy all that fun content from the old world, so you may as well kill two birds with one stone
and make some gold while you’re at it.
The bottom line is this – any gold you spend right now on small things like gear upgrades or
gems will be useless when we get to the new expansion and the game switches over to the new
content. If you’re interested in having a good, solid chunk of gold standing by, start farming,
stop spending frivolously and have fun. Don’t forget – Azeroth will be irreparably changed as of
this Winter.

Cataclysm gold secrets

  • 1. Cataclysm Gold Secrets Please feel free to pass this report around
  • 2. Three Reasons You’ll Need More Gold for Cataclysm Cataclysm is almost here. You can almost feel the rapid heartbeats of 13 million rabid WoW fans around the world beating in tandem as they wait breathlessly for the next set of new content to finally land. But, if this is your first expansion or if you just didn’t pay much attention the last time around, you may want to know that there are a few good reasons to upgrade your gold making efforts before the new x-pac gets here and you find yourself woefully underfunded. New Gear and Consumables Whenever a new expansion lands there are plenty of ways to spend gold and while you won’t need much for the first 5 levels up to Level 85, you will need some big cash the second you hit 85 to buy your first raiding gear, at least if you don’t want to grind on 5 man dungeons for two months. Crafted epics can go for 1000+ gold each and yet you’ll need a bunch of them to get yourself fully prepared. Consumables are no better. Mounts, Skills Ups, and Quests We all know that flying in the old world is coming, but how much will it cost. And if there are new mount types, like Wrath’s mammoths, how much will those cost? The odds are that you’re going to be spending a few thousand gold developing the skills and mounts you need just to get around. And don’t forget all those early quests that you’ll get gouged on. Remember the Overcharged Capacitor. Greedy Engineers were making 150 gold a pop on those puppies last time around. Profession Leveling
  • 3. One of the first things that any Level 80+ character will want to do is to get their professions levelled up immediately. That requires a lot of gold in some cases, with brand new materials and massive demand across the board. If you’re a crafter and need herbs or ore, expect to spend thousands upon thousands of gold getting what you need to reach the new skill level cap. The truth is that any new expansion pack is a huge gold sink, but with two already under our belts and inflation nearly out of control, you can bet that Cataclysm will push things to an entirely new level of expensiveness. Be ready for whatever may come and have some gold on hand now and you’ll do well.

  • 4. Cataclysm is only a few months away, and that means that players are already getting ready for it. Some players have been making bucket lists and prepping their accounts since last August when the expansion pack was first announced. Others are just now getting excited as we get closer to the start of beta. Whichever camp you’re in, you likely have a list of things you want to get out of the way before the new content lands. Achievements – First up, there are the achievements that might disappear from the game when the new expansion pack finally lands and the old world is changed. If you’ve yet to get your exploration achievements or your loremasters, you need to get out there and clear them up before your opportunities dry up for good and new ones are introduced. We have no proof this will happen, but you’d rather be safe than sorry. Gold Stashes – We all know how inflation works in WoW, so you may as well build up a nice gold stash before the new content hits in the fall. If you don’t have a good chunk of gold set aside, things like Old World flying, new gear, and all the professions you want to level up will be much harder to complete. Leveling in the Old World – Have any old world characters you haven’t yet levelled up? Now is the time to do it before their starting areas are changed forever. Sure, the new starting sections will be more fun soon, but you still want to see the way it was when the game was released. Already, major changes are coming down. Act fast before Blizzard changes this aspect of the game forever. Gear and PvP – If you’re a gear hound, you’d better get into the dungeons and start farming before the gear is made too easy to be worth your time. We all know how Blizzard likes to tone down difficulty at the end of an expansion and we’re getting very close to that happening. The PvP seasons will start wrapping up soon too, leaving you with less things to farm on. If you’re still working on the Lich King or just out there farming gold, consider writing up a solid list of things that you’d like to work on as you prepare for the launch of our next big expansion, because time is running short to take advantage of the content we’ve been playing for the last 18 months.
  • 5. How Much Will Things Cost in Cataclysm? There are a lot of people out there right now trying to figure out just how much the new items and gear will cost in Cataclysm. While we have no clear idea what the economy will look like when Cataclysm launches, we can make some pretty sound guesses based on the last two expansions. Wrath especially saw a sharp increase in value of items and the need for massive chunks of gold. Gold sinks were in full effect with Mammoths and flying upgrades, but there was also gear like Titansteel or the Primordial Saronite from 3.3 that was selling for over 1,000 gold a piece for a time. So, what will we see when Cataclysm launches. Blizzard has already mentioned a gold cap increase rumor a few times – which could be a signal of really expensive gold sinks. Additionally, we’re likely to see some highly valuable new materials that will be harder to farm than ever before due to limited space and new zones. The Cost of Raw Materials Generally speaking, you probably won’t see a massive burst in value for any single trade good. There is no new primary profession this time around, so mining and herbalism will hold steady for now. However, Wrath set a precedent for prospecting and titansteel – both of which will likely return in new forms for the rare ore in Cataclysm. We might also see more uses for the rare herbs, and possibly a way to finally balance out skinning and engineering in this regard. If Blizzard introduces gathering methods for other crafting professions as well, you can all but expect a huge, across the board surge in prices for these specialty farmed goods. When it comes to gear, the prices are almost always tied to the cost of materials (set by the market) and the availability of certain other items in the dungeons. In short, if Blizzard makes anything even harder to get, the prices will be sky high.
  • 6. Expect Level 85 crafted raiding epics to go for thousands of gold in the first two months. But, how much will they settle at? That’s a hard one to tell, and for now the only thing we can really do is start gathering up as much gold as possible and prepare for what is to come next, when Cataclysm finally launches. Free Report :10 Quick Ways To Make More Gold For Cataclysm Understanding World of Warcraft Inflation With Cataclysm coming up on us very soon and the final vestiges of Wrath finally wrapping up, it’s time that we start looking at the phenomenon that is inflation. If you’ll recall, Blizzard was eager to reduce inflation last time around and backed it up by trying to suck some gold out of the economy and cutting back on opportunities for players to farm on mobs in the wild.
  • 7. Unfortunately, it didn’t really work. Sure, eternals and furs are not worth the same as they were in TBC, but things like Titanium were worth hundreds of gold and with costs in the 20,000 gold range for mammoths and choppers, the value of gold dropped sharply. Whereas you could only make 250 gold an hour in TBC, players were putting up numbers anywhere from 600 to 1000 gold an hour in Wrath. So, where are we going in Cataclysm and what does it mean for the economy? Already, we’re hearing rumors of the gold cap being raised by Blizzard when the new content hits. With so many players already hitting the gold cap (the hardcore only of course) and some players doing it on multiple characters, this isn’t a big surprise. The Effects of Inflation One of the biggest effects of inflation is that certain old zones immediately lose all value for the hardcore player. Outland became a wasteland when Wrath was released because all of the items there were worth so much less historically than the new items. Old world items finally started to resurge some, but we can expect the Northrend and Outland items alike to be less useful and far less valuable when Cataclysm hits. Even if the prices remain constant, gold value will drop due to new items that are worth even more. In essence, if items inflate across the board and incomes go up with it, no one really gets hurt. But, when it comes to some gold making methods, the opportunities are dwindling fast. There was a time when daily quests and herb farming would make plenty of gold for a player. These days, it would take weeks to pay for top end gear with that kind of plan. It will likely only get worse when Cataclysm hits. If you’re a fan of gold farming and buying the newest, coolest stuff in the game, prepare to need even more advanced, clever strategies than ever before to truly master the inflation curve that will be Cataclysm.
  • 8. Five Tips to Make Gold Before Cataclysm Hits The secret to making gold in World of Warcraft is to anticipate what you will need and then to pour a ton of energy into being prepared for the next big change. Just look at the volume of gold people made when they were ready for the Inscription change in 3.0 or the Epic Gems in 3.2 or the Titansteel changes in 3.3. The game revolves around being reading for these changes and then jumping in them. So, with Cataclysm finally starting to run up on us, it’s time to sit back and consider what you need to do to prepare for the next big change to the game. Obviously, it’s a bit early to start talking about what will make gold in Cataclysm. We don’t know what’s coming. But, you can start planning for the pre-launch rush on certain items. 1. Get Your Alts Settled – If you don’t have a solid auction house alt with enough bags, solid enchanting skill, and plenty of data on your add-ons, now is the time to start building it up. I would also recommend having a couple of farming alts prepped up too. Save some spots for your new Goblin or Worgen, but get those other slots filled. 2. Max Out Professions – The big thing that always gains gold in month one of a profession is gathering professions and crafting professions that make top level intro raiding gear. So, get your professions maxed out and prepped for the new skill levels coming our way. 3. Reduce Back Stock – If you have 300 Frost Lotuses laying around, start pealing them off as you can. If you made the mistake of holding on to TBC gems or skins before 3.0 came out, you know how much gold can be lost this way.
  • 9. 4. Stick to Your Gear – Unless you need a gear upgrade for a specific dungeon or PvP, don’t spend all your gold on it just yet. You’ll be tossing that gear in the bin once the new expansion is out anyways. 5. Leveling – Level up your alts and start stockpiling that gold. You’re going to want to enjoy all that fun content from the old world, so you may as well kill two birds with one stone and make some gold while you’re at it. The bottom line is this – any gold you spend right now on small things like gear upgrades or gems will be useless when we get to the new expansion and the game switches over to the new content. If you’re interested in having a good, solid chunk of gold standing by, start farming, stop spending frivolously and have fun. Don’t forget – Azeroth will be irreparably changed as of this Winter.
