subject: Wow Player Learned From A Destitute Alt [print this page] Cut down on the inconvenience factor of cheap runescape gold having to make several trips to buy runescape gold the AH during a runescape gold play session by runescape gold WOW power leveling in an runescape money area where the major city's flight path and economic resources (bank, auction NPC's, mailboxes) are in cheap rs gold close proximity. Or, ffxiv power leveling if you do have a dedicated auction alt (and you probably should), make sure you stick them in this city. Thunder Bluff is by far the best overall with respect to flightpath proximity to auction NPC's, the bank, and a mailbox. It also gets bonus points for having a forge literally in front of auction NPC's if you're a miner and selling bars is more lucrative than selling raw ore. Undercity, Ironforge, Stormwind, and Orgrimmar are all OK (unless you have to smelt, in which case UC, Org, and Stormwind are all a much bigger hassle than Ironforge) but generally more convenient if you're already got a bank alt parked there. Silvermoon and the Exodar are both lousy places to do business, especially if you're flying or running into the city to get auctions done. They're OK for bank alts, but in general you're still better off putting that alt elsewhere. Don't be in too much of a hurry to level. With the boost to world of Warcraft powerleveling speed as of patch 3.0.2, clocking off the levels isn't anywhere near as timeconsuming as it used to be. This is good in some ways spending less time power leveling a character is great, and an ideal situation for someone who already has a toon at 80 but it has the secondary effect of being harder on a new player or a reroll who finds the game's most pressing expenses principally mounts coming earlier and faster than they used to. It's not a race. There is no law in the game dictating that you must have a mount by the prescribed time. Take time out to gather, or grind on mobs that have a chance to drop something fun or lucrative (especially dragon whelps that drop pets or, say, Barrens mobs that have a chance to drop Recipe: Savory Deviate Delight), or even just fish. Spending more time per zone doing fun quests and enjoying the lore just increases the chance that you'll get a valuable green or blue drop anyway. Turn WOW money making into a game within the game itself. One of the most salient differences between the RL economy and WoW's: inflation is your friend. The reason for this is that most ingame costs are static. Sharp arrows will always cost the same amount, reagents will always cost the same amount, food will always cost the same amount, and the only thing that affects them is your reputation with the faction of the NPC seller. The same is true of ground mounts in classic WoW. A server's inflation increases the amount of you can make off of the AH, but your daily living expenses will always stay the same.
