Review last updated: 2008-04-11
This gold guide was rewritten from scratch in September 2007, the last update before that being in July 2005(!). Since then it has been updated twice, so hopefully they will keep it up to date now.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t too impressed with the new version.
The strongest tips covered end-game farming, i.e. which high-level mobs to kill for valuable loot and gold. The low level strategies consisted mostly of various maps and routes for farming ore.
The auction house was touched upon very briefly, and no real secrets were shared.
While there were indeed some good advice in this guide, it was mixed with so-so tips. Personally I can tell the worthwhile tips from the worthless ones (since I’ve been testing and reviewing so many gold guides), but if you’re new to making gold you may go down a blind alley. For example, I found many of the drop rates for rare and epic items highly inflated. Rare world drops (items that have a VERY low chance of dropping from a great range of mobs and therefore not consistently farmable) were described as having 0.3-2% drop chance in some places, which is incorrect and HIGHLY misleading.
In February 2008 a chapter on daily quests was added, which was updated with the new 2.4 dailies in April. This improvement earned the guide a higher rating in my opinion, but there are still better choices.
For now, I would recommend the better rated guides on this site. However, if you get Killer Guides complete guide package, which includes all of their guides, then this one is definitely worth a read as it will help you make more gold. But be prepared to sift through the pages to find the profitable tips.
