Here are three tips for how to work toward the Hero gold cap successfully. 1. Get the Right add-ons the first thing you will need is the right add-ons for your game client. Make sure that you have add-ons that will allow you to quickly scan, analyze and utilize auction house data. For most players Auctioneer has been enough, but more recently Auctioned is quickly becoming the add-on of choice for this. Additionally, you will want to pick up Market Watcher and Postal as these two add-ons provide you with a great deal of additional functionality and data when you go into each transaction. 2. Stop Farming and Questing You may have heard that farming and questing are good enough ways to make gold. This will work fine for anyone that needs the cash. But, there are much better and more efficient ways of getting gold. Think of it like this, realistically the most gold you will probably make daily questing is between 250 and 300 per hour. The most you will ever make farming is 750 an hour and that is still a stretch. If you really want to hit the Hero gold cap, you would have to farm almost 300 hours at the max rate of 750 an hour to hit that mark. 3. Work on Creative Auction House Methods Almost everyone who has read a gold guide uses the Auction house to make gold these days. This is the main reason, you will need to push yourself to find new and exciting ways to make gold without spending all your time simply buying and selling. Learn how to transfer items between servers and factions. What it takes to make an item go up in value by using price manipulation.
