Introduction to Warcraft Tycoon

Based on information from one of Azeroth’s most influential guilds, Warcraft Tycoon offers a concise guide to high value items that can be farmed or purchased for sale/re-sale on the Auction House.

The guide is said to be written from the advice of a leading guild master who taught one of his former guild-mates (the author) how to make up to 2,000g per day in WoW.

Accessibility

Warcraft Tycoon could be described as chaotic – there is very little structure to the guide. Rather than being a step-by-step introduction of farming techniques, the guide works more like a list of profitable farming locations, items and techniques.

For a new player, and even for experienced players who are new to gold farming, the guide can be a little intimidating. The information provided is filled with jargon and assumes the reader already has knowledge of many of the techniques that are described.

We advise new players, or those looking for a structured walkthrough of gold farming, to look elsewhere for a gold guide.

Ease of Use

Through our testing of this guide there has been some disagreement on the topic of “Ease of Use”. Some of us have found implementing the advice given challenging, as the structure often requires you read the whole thing through once to understand it. However others have found the conversational tone and chaotic very entertaining – so entertaining that the information has been absorbed much easier.

If you learn best from a humorous “notes-on-a-napkin” approach, then this is a good guide for you. If you prefer more structured, step-by-step learning, you may struggle with Warcraft Tycoon.

Value For Money

At the time of writing, Warcraft Tycoon sells for $47.00 with free lifetime updates for all major patches and expansion packs. Whilst we have suggested this is a reasonable price for other guides, the lack of detail in certain areas and the overall size of the guide (half the size of competing guides) makes this not as good value for money.

Warcraft Tycoon is a great guide for certain players, but we feel its current price makes it a little over-priced when compared to other guides.

Overall Effectiveness

The information given in Warcraft Tycoon is very useful if you can figure out how to use it effectively. It falls down in effectiveness by simply not giving full and detailed instruction on how to use techniques or even find techniques to achieve what it suggest.

The Auction House section of the guide is an exception, as it provides detailed analysis of the techniques used and outlines some great strategies to use with other content in the guide.
