Secret Gold Guide by Hayden Hawke – Review

Updated for BFA or Shadowlands or Dragonflight? No, as far as I know

Secret Gold Guide by Hayden Hawke

The Secret Gold Guide by Hayden Hawke consists mainly of a series of PDF guides that are full of various gold making strategies for World of Warcraft. It used to be really good, and popular, but lately it seems that she has abandoned it, sadly.

At one time, it was easily the best PDF gold guide on the market, but as far as I know, there haven’t been any updates for Battle For Azeroth or Shadowlands, and even the updates for Legion were minimal. You can still buy it, and some of the lower level strategies still work quite well, like farming routes, grinding spots and auction house strategies, but I still wouldn’t recommend it.

It’s difficult to say many positive things about this guide, since it’s so outdated. However, if you want to know what’s inside, although not up to date, here are some things that you’ll learn:

  • Grinding spots
  • How to use professions for gold making (including fishing, gathering professions and crafting)
  • How to use the auction house to make gold (items to focus on, addons that help, how to “play the market”)
  • Making gold from dungeon runs
  • Low-level gold making
  • High level gold making (only up to around the old level 85-90 due to lack of updates)
  • Making gold with your garrison (introduced in Warlords of Draenor and can be automated to make tons of gold)
  • The best daily quests for fast and guaranteed gold

Again, her guides are quite outdated, otherwise they could be good. But for now I can’t really recommend it.
