Introduction to Warcraft Millionaire

Warcraft Millionaire is the result of several months of study and analysis by Brad Johnson; a leading gold farming expert and first player to reach the character gold cap (214,748 gold 36 silver 47 copper). The guide became popular for it’s unique approach to gold farming, giving the player full knowledge of each gold farming method, but focusing highly on Auction House strategies.

Since its release Warcraft Millionaire has become one of the bestselling guides on the market, with many gamers boasting about the profitable and sustained selling/re-selling strategies they have developed through this guide.

Accessibility

Many players who are new to World of Warcraft, or who don’t have previous gold farming experience, have criticized previous guides for their lack of accessibility. Unless you knew the jargon and were familiar with practices spoken of, you would struggle to effectively implement the techniques described.

Warcraft Millionaire has addressed this issue by assuming the reader has no previous experience of WoW. This includes a “Newbie Guide” section to teach the reader the absolute basics of farming gold, but also to promote good overall gameplay.

This approach does not negatively affect intermediate or veteran gamers however. The guide is broken up into sections and can be read depending on what is relevant to the reader, making it easy to focus on a specific area of farming, or learn the guide cover-to-cover.

Ease of Use

Each section of the guide begins with an extensive contents list, each of which provides an anchor link to allow you to skip to the part of the guide you want. Breaking the guide up in such a way makes it easy to read and come back to regularly, allowing you to practice what is written in-game.

The writing is clear and in simple English, with not a spelling or grammar error in sight (which is rare for a gold guide). The only criticism we have is that after a term is introduced, it is used throughout the guide in its abbreviated form. This might require new players to skip back to check on the meaning, though the process of learning these terms is useful when in-game (where everyone will use them).

Value For Money

At the time of writing, Warcraft Millionaire sells for $47.00 with free lifetime updates for all major patches and expansion packs. This is the same price that all major gold guides are selling for, with the exception of combo-guides that include leveling and class guides as extras.

Given the amount of gold a player can make, and overall time they can save, within a short space of time, we rate this as very good value for money.

Overall Effectiveness

This guide has proven its effectiveness through both the success of its author and the widely documented successes of its users. At 200+ pages it covers every method of making gold you could possibly imagine, but the Auction House strategies are what makes Warcraft Millionaire really stand out.

The fact that the guide offer a no-questions-asked instant refund up to 60 days after purchase shows the confidence the author has in the guide’s ability to deliver – and we agree that it does.
