Watch my video review of this guide

Hayden Hawke's Secret Gold Guide is my favorite wow gold guide written by a girl with some pretty impressive achievements, like first level 80 human on her server.

I think I haven't actually added any new gold guides to my site in more than a year, because most simply aren't worth it and I'm not looking to fill my site with trash guides.

So just the fact that I'm adding her guide to my site should tell you Hayden's guide is something different.

Written after WotLK came out, everything is fresh and updated, and in the time I've followed her guide, she has already published several updates -- which are free. For example, the patch 3.3.3 update of the guide was published days before the patch went live, since Hayden played on the PTR. It doesn't get any better than that.

As for her claims of making 600 gold per hour, that's realistic with the methods in it.

There's something for everyone in this guide:

• Gathering professions
• Crafting professions
• Grinding
• Auction house trading
• Farming
• Dailies
• Low-level tips
• Addons
• Much more

The guide is full of maps and pictures that make the strategies easy to follow. You really can't fail to make gold with the strategies in this guide. They're fool-proof.

One of the chapters I liked best was the one dealing with the Auction House. I liked how she didn't complicate things and explained her strategies in the easiest way possible without wasting words. Her methods are somewhat unique and very profitable once you get the hang of it.

I'd also like to highlight some of the bonuses that come with the guide. Altogether, they are more than 150 pages and include:

• 1-450 guides for most professions
• Detailed farming maps for herbalism and mining.
• How to skill up and profit from cooking and fishing
• Talent builds for faster farming for all classes

Finally, something I noticed is that Hayden has tried to include only the best tips. What good is it to write tips that are sub-par? That would just waste your time, and there aren't many trash tips in this guide.

I really don't have anything negative to say about, so far. Even her customer service seems great.

To restate: It's virtually impossible not to make mounds of gold with this guide. If you don't find this to be true, she has a money back guarantee, but I strongly doubt you'll want to use it.
