WoW Patch 4.3 – WoW Crusher Gold Guides
WoW Crusher Gold Guides has become available – and well, if you’re looking for good tips on how to make more World of Warcraft gold (WoW gold) then you’ve come to the right place! There are plenty of gold making opportunities in Azeroth, but they can be hard to ferret out, so I’m glad to help with advice and tips.
As is usual for patches in the game, Patch 4.3 has stirred things up and changed things around somewhat, and some of these changes offer an opportunity for profit to the cunning, the alert, and the patient. Here’s a look at a few of the better examples.

WoW Patch 4.3 – WoW Crusher Gold Guides – Chaos Orbs

One of the good money earners at the moment are Chaos Orbs. These are obtained only in maximum level heroic dungeons, and were BoP until the most recent patch came out. They are a fairly infrequent drop, and are needed for practically every high end profession in WoW. You can make a bit of a profit if you run a lot of heroic
instances by selling your Chaos Orbs to those who do not have enough time to gather large numbers of these items, but still need them to develop their professions.

WoW Patch 4.3 – WoW Crusher Gold Guides – Savage Leather

Some professions have more to offer than others – for example, Jewelcrafting was rather short-changed by the fact that epic gems come from raid bosses and not prospecting. Leatherworking, on the other hand, can make good profits from the high demand Vicious Leather set that sells for a solid profit on the auction house. You can also check the prices of Savage Leather and Heavy Savage Leather on your auction house, and see if it is worth buying Savage Leather, turning it into Heavy Savage Leather, and reselling it at a profit.

WoW Patch 4.3 – WoW Crusher Gold Guides – Blacksmithing

Blacksmiths have several options for making gold in the new patch.
The Bloodthirsty Pyrium set is a good money maker, and Ebonsteel Belt Buckles are also quite profitable. Working together with an enchanter, you can make Stormforged Shoulders and disenchant them into the highly profitable Heavenly Shards, which sell quite well on the auction house. Look for upswings in price before selling, as the Heavenly Shard market is somewhat volatile (though not disastrously so).

WoW Patch 4.3 – WoW Crusher Gold Guides – Sinister Squashlings

Finally, if you have any spare Sinister Squashlings from Halloween in your bags, these are now BoE and can be sold on the Auction House, often at a robust profit. This will not get you rich, since you are unlikely to have too many (and cannot get more until Hallow’s End 2012), but you can potentially make a few hundred gold depending on your server’s market for these pets.

Dragon Soul Raid

The Dragon Soul raid, as you probably know, is a new raid introduced in Patch 4.3 along with Void Storage, Arena Season 11, and a lot of other goodies that we’ll be talking about more in the coming weeks. Dragon Soul is the peak of the Cataclysm storyline and features six bosses leading up the seventh boss, Deathwing himself (who, of course, needs to be officially “killed off” to bring the Cataclysm story arc to an end before the release of Mists of Pandaria sometime next year).

This is pretty exciting stuff, with the final encounter being a fight with the dragon who caused the Cataclysm in the first place. Epic excitement, deadly encounters – and of course, plenty of interesting strategies to challenge you on your way to victory over Deathwing. Note that these strategies for fighting Deathwing apply to the new “Looking for Raid” difficulty (a somewhat easier, introductory raiding difficulty for those just starting) and for Normal Difficulty.

WoW Manaview EDGE Addon Review

Manaview, the team that developed BOOSTER and TYCOON, has once again come up with their newest addon called EDGE! While the first two addons were mainly geared towards more specific needs such as making gold and leveling, this latest one is claimed to be usuable by any WoW player!!

One might venture to ask how EDGE lives up to serving its 11 million subscribers. To find out the real score, I got hold of a copy to see for myself and the results are detailed here in this WoW Manaview EDGE Addon Review:

WoW Manaview EDGE Addon Review – Initial Take

It is quite SIMPLE to figure out! The WoW Manaview EDGE addon is definitely more streamlined than either TYCOON or BOOSTER! Therefore, should you have problems with the any of the two, those should go away with EDGE. Right after you have downloaded EDGE (or Manacore, should you still not have any of Manaview’s other fine addons), you may simply run the Manaview Updater to find out if there are any updates and then you can start up World of Warcraft.

The WoW Manaview EDGE addon is designed to function for any class or any purpose – therefore I thought I’d try it on my Level 61 Worgen Druid that I have not attempted to do after completing the newer quests (above 60). The idea of questing through Hellfire Peninsula once more makes me quite sick, so I decided to go through the Random Dungeon Finder as a tank.

Remember that I have never tanked previously and it had not even thought of something like a bear spec because my version is simply full-on cat for leveling.  So after I logged in on my Worgen, I clicked the EDGE button on the Manacore frame, selected Leveling as my purpose and then looked at the options it gave me.

Lo and behold, there was a Feral Bear Dungeon Leveling spec, so I clicked on that and thought I’d put my trust on it using auto-spec. When I had that sorted out, it informed me of the best glyphs to get (I could not get all of them after all) that would be most advantageous for me while I tanked dungeons on my level. It also provided me a strategy for tanking singles and multiples. I scribbled a few notes that I knew I was going to forget later.

Prior to waiting-in-line (queuing) for a dungeon, I browsed through EDGE and found the spec for raiding Bears. It appeared rather different than my leveling spec and so I wanted to get to the bottom of it and find out why. Logic then would state that top level Bears need different stuff yet that was not enough for me. I needed a more conclusive answer while I also wanted to test the support for this product.

So I emailed support@manaview.com and waited for my new dungeon. Taking my cue from the advice that the EDGE strategy had given, I was able to aggro quite well. Initially I was worried that I was doing terribly since one of the Death Knights would have it all the time, however, as I looked over to see that he was in Blood Presence, I stopped blaming the addon for that. I also ceased blaming it for the lumps I incurred while learning and the little time lost due to having re-referenced the Strategy pane.

As a whole, my dungeon is what I can call a success and thanks to my rested XP, I made around one-half of a level for every 20 minute dungeon run. Not too bad!

For validation, I ran a few more and right after hitting 62, I checked my email, just to make sure. To my pleasant surprise, some from Manaview had just emailed a response to me saying:

“Hi there,

First of all, thanks for trying out EDGE! Your question about the Bear dungeon spec was forwarded to me, as I helped design the spec you’re currently using. I raid as a Bear and I’ve also leveled two Bears via the RDF. Back when I was looking for specs for my first Bear, all anyone had was just a makeshift Cat spec, or a high-end Bear spec. Neither of those work very well for tanking dungeons.

For quick comparison’s sake, here’s the spec that’s in EDGE for dungeon leveling Bears:

http://www.wowhead.com/talent#0ZfzGfoubdrckMcz:0rqzVaMmz

And here’s the Bear raiding spec:

http://www.wowhead.com/talent#0ZfMGdoubzrckMcu:q0r0zVMmz

There’s a lot of similarities, but the key difference is trading out some survivability for more damage, which in turn means more threat. This is the biggest problem Bears face while leveling up. Every healer can keep you alive with their eyes closed, but competing with heirloom-geared DPS for threat is incredibly frustrating. So the dungeon leveling Bear gets full King of the Jungle for a damage boost on Enrage, which you should be using on cooldown like the Strategy says. You also get Primal Madness to help with the issue of being rage starved at lower levels.

What you lose is Perseverance – a must-have talent for raiding Bears – and 1 point from Infected Wounds. Both of those help keep you alive, but again: You don’t have much trouble with that while leveling through dungeons, especially if you’ve got heirlooms.

I hope that helps answer your question. Let me know how the leveling goes!”

Frankly, I was expecting some generic response and even prepared myself for a “it’s this way because it is…”. To my elation, I got a detailed explanation of both the differences between the specs but also why they existed. Without much ado, I can say that I am quite happy with the response and it hinged my experience with EDGE to being a positive one.

WoW Manaview EDGE Addon Review – How It Rates:

Getting to the thick of things though, My ratings are:

Interface : 4.5 out of 5

Sleek and clean is how I would describe the interface. It’s probably a great thing that it is simple because it leaves only a few things for me to click on before I get my spec. To remember and understand which does what is actually very easy. My only comment is that I’d prefer a way to probably detach the Strategy pane so I can reference it without having to view everything else.

 Features : 5 out of 5

The addon is listed by the EDGE site as a talent, glyph, and rotation manager. I think that it truly lives up to that. There are two modes that the talenter comes in: auto and manual.  Therefore, you can pick and choose as you wish. The glyph choices aren’t explained, but they appear to be quite obvious in most cases. Finally, at least from my experience, the rotations and strategies given are solid.

Cutomer Support : 5 out of 5

I was quite glad when they got back to me on the very same day and was even more elated when they answered my question in a very thorough manner.  Having to deal with just one person avoided any hassle with having to explain things over and over again and this has raised my confidence with the representatives as far as their expertise and skills are concerned. No minus on this aspect.

Value : 5 out of 5

This aspect has always been a stickler since what I consider as great value may not actually be great value. Honestly though, EDGE is a great value per se. Being less than $40 and giving me an all-access pass to every class and every spec in the game for life is beyond compare.

Overall : 4.5 out of 5

I, truly and honestly believe that the WoW Manaview EDGE Addon was well worth the money I paid for it. To think that I have not even explored all it’s uses yet. At first, I was rather skeptical about the usability of this product but I have learned a whole lot since then. As I have said before, my only negative was just for a feature that I wished it had. Overall, I am downright impressed!

Patch 4.2 Preparation Guide – Zygor Guides Style

Hey!

Well, as you may already know, WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2 is right around the corner. It is rumored it will be released on Tuesday, June 28th, so only about 2 more days.

We figured we’d put together a little preparation guide, so you can be sure you’re ready to go when Patch 4.2 releases.

For now, the WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2 Preparation Guide – Zygor Guides Style!

————————————————————-
Patch 4.2 Preparation Guide:
————————————————————-

Firstly, in order to prepare and make sure you can start the new Firelands dailies on the first day they are released:

1. Make sure your have your character(s) to level 85.
2. Complete the Mount Hyjal Leveling guides up to:
Alliance – Step 170
Horde – Step 175

You must complete the quest “Aessina’s Miracle” in order to unlock the new Mount Hyjal / The Firelands dailies in Patch 4.2

Once you have the new dailies unlocked, here is what to expect.

The Firelands quests are very dynamic. You will not be able to complete some daily quests each day, as only a limited amount are available each day.

So, you will want to accept and complete as many as you can, and simply skip over the ones you can’t accept that day.

There will be 2 new guides added to the Cataclysm Dailies guides:

1. Firelands Quests
2. Firelands Dailies

You will need to use the Firelands Quests and Firelands Dailies together. Complete as many quests as you can in the Firelands Quests guide section first, and then use the Firelands Dailies guide section to complete the dailies each day and gain Marks of the World Tree. You will continue alternating between the 2 guides as you unlock more daily and non-daily quests.

Marks of the World Tree are the currency needed to complete certain quests in order to unlock more daily quests. They can also be used to open certain vendors’ inventories, so you can purchase better gear, as well as fun novelty items or tokens to increase your reputation with certain factions (similar to The Argent Tournament).

So, that gives you a little overview of how the new dailies hubs will work, as well as what you need to do to prepare for them.

Zygor’s Guides Patch 4.2 Dailies guide update is completed and ready to be released the same day that WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2 releases. icon smile WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2 Preparation Guide   Zygor Guides Style

WoW TYCOON GOLD GUIDE Addon REVIEW

One of Manaview’s most recent creation is the WoW Tycoon Gold Guide Addon. It is an in-game addon that is designed to automate the most complex game strategies that produces at least a 500% increase in gold income.
For those WoW players who have been hurting for something better than Vanilla, your wish has been granted. Now, the way gold is made has been forever changed!

That’s a huge claim- but read on, and see why I am comfortable with making that statement! Let’s cut to the chase and come out with our verdict after a week of testing..

Q. Does ‘Tycoon Gold Guide Addon’ actually work?
A. Definitely! 100%!
Users have said that they made 230% more gold on the average when they used the Tycoon Gold Guide Addon. My personal experience established that this was a safe estimate. I actually used the addon for several days and when I did open my mailbox, there was around 500 to 700% more gold than the usual amount I make using the exact same strategies without the Tycoon Gold Guide Addon.
