Wyvern Sting

A shot that puts the target to sleep for 12 seconds. Any damage will wake the target. When the target wakes up the sting causes nature damage over 12 seconds. This is a situational ability. Since it has a cast time and can only be fired from range it can't be used as an escape ability. It IS a very useful crowd control ability however in both PVP and PVE. In PVP you can use it to keep an extra person out of the fight while your group gangs up on the other. And if you time things carefully you...

Arcane Torrent

An AoE that silences all enemies within 8 yards for 2 seconds. You will also gain 5 mana+level for each charge of Mana Tap affecting you. Depending on how you play mana efficiency can be very important. This will give you a little bit back, but it will rarely be enough for even one good ability. The primary purpose of this is to silence your enemies. This is great when fighting caster type mobs and PVPing. The downside is that you have to be in melee range in order to use it.

New Wow Zone Levels For Cataclysm

With Cataclysm release there's new Wow zone levels and due to cataclysm events some zones will be devastated while some will present luxuriant vegetation. The new Cataclysm map with Zone levels GILNEAS (Wow zone levels 1-15) This human kingdom had supported the Alliance during the Second War, but King Genn Greymane had no qualms about breaking all ties with the outside world when it became clear that the Alliance had more need of Gilneas than not.

Shopping lists are a great way to keep an eye on items and markets that are important to your gold-making efforts.I use Auctionator Shopping Lists multiple times a day to check my most important markets. I'm including some of my own favorite shopping lists after the jump to get you started.The Setup If you aren't already using it you can download Auctionator at the Auctionator download page.

The 5 Most Enjoyable Ways We Made Gold In Cataclysm

Each player has their own special ways of making gold in World of Warcraft. No two players are the same. No two servers are the same. This means that each of us walks our unique own gold-making path.Since Mists of Pandaria is coming out in 5 days we thought it would be good to take some time to reflect back over our own gold-making journey through Cataclysm and pick out the top 5 most enjoyable techniques we used to make gold in World of Warcraft.

Warlords Of Draenor - Gold-Making And Beyond

In case you've been hiding under a rock and haven't heard Blizzcon was this last weekend and we got to learn about World of Warcraft's next expansion Warlords of Draenor . Warlords is going to be set on Draenor 35 years in the past (you know, before being exploded and turned into Outlands).

The 50 Most Expensive Transmog Items On My Server

I decided to have some fun with the exported data you can get from the Resources Data Export page on WoWuction (example page).In the chart above (and the data below) I used the .csv file and did some analysis to sort out the 50 most expensive transmog items based on 14-day Median Market Price.I got the transmog items from our Giant Transmog List For TradeSkillMaster Import post. Read on past the jump for the list of items and prices.

Transferring? How To Choose A New Server For Gold-Making

It seems that a lot of people have been transferring or looking to transfer servers lately. When I asked why on twitter and Facebook the majority of the responses tended to fall into a few main categories including looking for a fresh start or wanting to change things up to add life back into the game.

Auction Basics - Auctionator And Selective Undercutting

Selling something for the absolute cheapest price isn't always the best strategy when it comes to the auction house. While I've discussed using Auctionator for undercutting in the past but I thought it would be good to break it down to the most basic level. The accompanying video (embedded above) covers the same info as this post but in a more audio visual way.

Level 83-84 MoP Armor Sales Data And Analysis

The Fastest Way I Know To Level 11 Characters

(Quick personal note April and I were blessed to have a hearty and healthy baby girl come into our lives on Dec 10, 2013. She is our first and, as any parent can tell you, babies take up a lot of time. The results are totally worth the effort but if you notice things slowing down a bit here at Power Word Gold just know we're busy helping level up the cutest level one you've ever seen.

Prospecting

If you do decide to pick up Jewelcrafting, one of the biggest money makers for this profession is through Prospecting. Once your Jewelcrafting skill reaches 275, you will then be able to prospect Fel Iron Ore. When you prospect this ore, you will have an excellent chance to receive gems such as Blood Garnet and Azure Moonstone. In addition to these gems, you also have a chance to obtain a rare gem such as Star of Elune and Noble Topaz. Both of these rare gems can sell for as much as 50 Gold...

Shaman versus Mage

The Mage is a very deadly opponent if they know what they are doing. As one of the highest damage dealing classes in the game they have access to a repertoire of spells and effects to deal maximum amounts of damage in a short period of time. Most mages will start a fight with Polymorph. Your mighty Shaman will be transformed into a puny sheep while they begin casting one of their more powerful damage spells. This will be a free hit on their part that will leave them temporarily ahead of the...

Counterspell

There is only one rank of this spell, but it is one of the most useful spells available, and should be on your hotbar as soon as you get it at level 24. Timely counterspells are essential in PvP if you want to win against any class that can heal, and also against mages. To use it effectively, you need to know your opposition's abilities. Priests can cast 1.5 second heals, which need precise timing to interrupt.

Poison Cleansing Totem

As referenced earlier in the Cure Poison section (p. 23) this totem should be used if you find that you are curing poisons left and right. If poison is coming up a lot during a fight then summon the Poison Cleansing Totem. It won't instantly remove the effect but it will allow the curing of poisons to everyone in the party at minimal effort and allowing the Shaman to concentrate on other aspects of the battle. In PVP if you are fighting a Rogue or Hunter that are using poison effects, drop this...

Ghostcrawler: Epic Gems To Be Individual Drops From 4.3 Raid Bosses

It's official (kind of) Epic gems in 4.3 will have a small chance to come from a geode individual players will get each time they kill a 4.3 raid boss. This means that (at least initially) there will be no way for gold-makers to farm or produce epic gems (unless they are raiders). Chances for epic gems to drop from geodes rare enough that it may take all of patch 4.3 to replace a single player's gems with epic red gems.

Druid Variant Druid of the Nightmare

Druid The Nightmare

Not all druids revere the Emerald Dream. A few rare and twisted individuals channel the Nightmare, a rent in the perfection of the Emerald Dream. Most of these druids of the Nightmare were once normal druids who inadvertently came in contact with the Nightmare (often while dreamwalking) and fell under its insidious influence. However, an increasing number of people have become druids of the Nightmare through their own volition. Whereas traditional druids seek a communion companion. Add the...

What Makes A Mogging Item Worth Selling?

With mogging coming in Patch 4.3 many of us have been talking about the potential of items increasing in value due to their desirability as transmogrification items. Today's reader question asks how we should be determining which items to pick up now for resale after Patch 4.3.While the mogging market is still a theory at this stage that doesn't mean we prepare to reap profits from players wanting to acquire weapons and armor that look great.

Oily Blackmouth

This fish is needed by Alchemists to level up and create Blackmouth Oil. A great spot is in Auberdine next to Gubber Blump just down from where the Flight Master is around 35,46 . For just 45 Copper you can buy a Shiny Bauble from him that will increase your fishing skill by 25 for 10 minutes. Definitely take advantage of this to increase your chance at catching these Blackmouths. One of the highest places to fish for Blackmouths is in the Wetlands at Menethil Harbor. While this is a little bit...

Light Feathers

A stack of Light Feathers sells for as much as 3 Gold per stack. In the Barrens all around the Crossroads, you can find a ton of Greater Plainstriders. I was able to get a Light Feather almost every kill. The other nice thing about this spot is that these Plainstriders are only level 10. This makes it extremely easy for anyone to farm these guys for Light Feathers. In an hour, I was able to collect a couple stacks which I then turned around and sold to a Mage (for Light Fall skill) for 5 Gold....

Mining in the Outlands

If Mining wasn't the best profession for making Gold before the expansion, it definitely is now. Thanks to Jewelcrafting, the demand for the ore, stone, and gems gathered through mining is ridiculous. On top of that you can also collect tons of motes to make primals. There are so many Fel Iron and Adamantite veins scattered throughout the Outlands that it's very easy to collect over a 100 pieces of ore in an hour. Fel Iron Ore sells for about 15 Gold per stack and Adamantite Ore sells for about...

Auction House

An old saying that definitely applies here is to remember that one player's trash is another's treasure. Your job is to get the trash from those players and then get that treasure to another player that is willing to pay BIG bucks for that item. Because this is such an important part of your gold making, I am going to spend the next couple of pages going over the Auction House and how to best take advantage of it. My first recommendation to you is to install a good 3rd party MOD that will...

Winters Chill

Less effective than the old Winter's Chill, but not entirely useless. This, like its fire counterpart, is especially effective when grouped with other frost casters. Take this talent if you are planning on raiding with a heavy frost spec, as it will improve dps. Gives your Frost damage spells a 20 chance to apply the Winter's Chill effect, which increases the chance a Frost spell will critically hit the target by 1 . Stacks up to 10 times. Gives your Frost damage spells a 40 chance to apply the...

Fire Resistance Totem

This totem is somewhat subversive in its uses. It affects the casters and his her party mates Resistance chance against Fire spells. In PVE the desired effect is present but not exceptionally common. In conjunction with either Fire Resistance equipment or potions this totem can make the Shaman and his her party mates virtually impenetrable to fire spells. This totem will find great use in a raid Instance known as the Molten Core. In PVP this skill will be very effective at keeping lower level...

The more they have the fewer each one will be so it isn't overpowered. You will have to collect different types of gear for your different types of play styles. A Beastmaster Hunter will need...

Great Mogging Finds: The Huge Thorium Battleaxe

Pandaren Warrior Pandaren Wardancer

Pandaren are by all accounts graceful and skilled warriors. Their wardancers epitomize the pandaren art of warfare and for the wardancers, battle is indeed an art. Their title does not come coincidentally. Their movements are precise and fluid they appear to dance through a battlefield, their blades flashing silver, blood spraying into the air, and bodies toppling as they move. While wardancers are deadly, they, like all pandaren, are inherently peaceful. The greatest hope of the wardancer,...

Threat management

World Warcraft Chug

An important factor to watch out for when DPSing is how much threat you are generating. When fighting in a group, the target monster always goes after what it thinks is the biggest threat. The role of the tank is to keep himself at the top of the threat r, - 24 - list because he has the best survivability. But there is a limit on how much and how quickly a tank can build threat, so if you go all out DPS you'll quickly surpass him. The first stage of threat management is keeping threat in check.

Getting rid of Arcane Corruption is a very difficult process. Going for a week without casting an arcane spell restores a single point to the character's Arcane Corruption allowance.

An atonement spell, accompanied by an appropriate sacrifice or quest, will remove ld6 points of Arcane Corruption, plus 1 point per two caster levels rounding...

My Mists Of Pandaria Stockpile? Not Much.

By far the most popular question I've been asked in the last two weeks has been What should I stockpile for Mists of Pandaria . Each time I feel that I must disappoint the questioner when I give my answer.It's not that I haven't given it a lot of thought it's just that I'm not really much of a stockpiler. Never have been. Likely never will be.That said, read on past the jump for the few items I have decided to sock away and or wait to sell in Mists of Pandaria.

Preliminary Caged Battle Pet Pricing Data

In my continuing effort to understand and assess the feasibility of working in the cross-realm battle pet sales market I've been doing some data collection and analysis. I thought I'd share some of that research with all of you today.As many of you may know there currently isn't any way to look up caged battle pet pricing on auction house data sites like The Undermine Journal and WoWuction. This leaves it up to each player to collect and analyze the data themselves.

The Problematic Possibilities Of Leather Mogging Item Sales

I decided it was time I looked more into the possibilities of selling Leather mogging items.

Titan's Grip Polearm And Staff Transmog In 5.4?

So this screenshot showing polearms and staves being able to be used (and likely transmogged for each other) with Titan's Grip showed up on r wow.After a bit more digging it seems WoW Insider was able to get Ghostcrawler to cough up that polearms were on the list for patch 5.4 .Looks like warriors are in for a whole new world of transmog options. I might have to start looking for beastly looking staves and polearms to stock up and sell if when this goes live.

This enormous, insectile creature resembles a gigantic, fantastically colored beetle. The scarab-like carapace unfolds like dual wings, and the creature's front limbs are scythelike and bony. Nerubian spiderlords cold, ruthless, deadly and intelligent beetle creatures are perhaps the most powerful nerubians. Spiderlords once formed the majority of Azjol-Nerub's leadership they were the keepers of law. They exhibit more callous intelligence than their underlings a nerubian spiderlord is willing...

Gorshalach the Dark Render

Description Sargeras wielded this massive greatsword for ages in his battle against demons. When he betrayed his kind and turned on his titan allies, the semi-intelligent weapon shattered itself into two pieces, the Shatterbound fragments. Sargeras retrieved one fragment, while Aggramar eventually came into the possession of the other fragment. If a creature of good alignment should ever possess 2 ii- A 'T tr i' A T-.

Twoheaded Ogres

Unfortunately, two ogre heads are not better than one the heads rarely get along with each other, and two-headed ogres are just as dumb as their one-headed brethren. A two-headed ogre is not different from a one-headed ogre in terms of its game mechanics if you play an ogre, you can choose to have one or two heads. Darkvision Ogres can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white, but it is otherwise like normal sight. Low-Light Vision Ogres can see...

Spiders Silk in Arathi Highlands

Farming Spider Silk Alliance

Spider's silk is one of the most valuable commonly dropped items in World of Warcraft. Any spider from around level 18 to 36 can drop spider's silk when killed. Although some spiders don't like to part with silk very often you can still make out really well on their vendor trash. Not all spiders are equal. Most spiders will drop silk once every 20 kills, but the Plains Creepers in Arathi Highlands drop it twice as often. So you're looking at one silk every 10 kills. Considering that spider's...

Weapon and Armor Proficiency High divinists gain no new proficiencies with weapons or armor. Spells Slots per Day Every time a high divinist gains a level in this class, she gains new spell slots per day as if she had also gained a level in the divine spellcasting class in which she could cast 7th-level divine spells before she added the high divinist level. She does not gain any other benefit a character from that class would have gained. If she had more than one divine spellcasting class in...

Shadow Tree

The Shadow tree contains most of the damage-increasing talents available to the priest. It is the most well constructed tree, with very few useless talents. It is definitely the tree you should take if you intend to solo a lot, or if PvP is the final aim for your priest. With the right talents, you can achieve 35 bonus damage to all your Shadow spells, as well as having access to Silence and Vampiric Embrace, which heals for each point of damage you do. Most players take Shadow as their main...

The Nightmares Within

No Malfurion could not help thinking. No He had known that as matters came together, that his secret hopes would be at greater risk. The Nightmare Lord had taunted him about rescue, even tortured him with suggestions and images of Tyrande lost and dying in the mists. Or worse becoming a part of what the archdruid knew was gathering more and more near the nexus of the Nightmare and just beyond the mists surrounding him. He could not sense his captor near, which by no means meant that he was not...

Nightmares Servants

The green dragon was not so great in size as Eranikus, but he was large indeed and eager to take the night elves. Broll cast the calming spell that had worked at least in part on Ysera's consort, hoping to slow the attacking beast. But for his efforts he received only more of the malevolent laughter. The dragon would have fallen upon him if not for Tyrande, who shoved the druid aside and threw her glaive. Glowing with Elune's majesty, the triple-bladed weapon whirled unerringly at its target....

Talent Builds

Because two of the three talent trees are entirely opposing (Shadow and Holy), the priest has very little in the form of diversity. There are 2 functions required of the priest healing your party members, and killing things in solo play. There are also 1 talent tree devoted to each aspect, meaning you will have to choose one tree that suits your play style better. Fortunately in the World of Warcraft respeccing your talents is available. However, it costs a fee, which increases every time. It...

Awake To The Nightmare

In all his long existence, Malfurion had known such distress only once. That had been during the War of the Ancients. The green dragon sent earlier by Ysera still carried him, Tyrande, Broll, Lucan, and even Thura from the catastrophe. Not only were the green dragons in retreat, but the defenders below, aware of what had happened, were also in complete disarray. Their morale was as low as Malfurion's, perhaps even lower.

Amplify Magic

This is an adequate spell that has limited uses. It is particularly useful when combined with a priest for AoE grinding. This helps the priest heal, but the effect is only moderate. It's another buff, however, and the mana cost is small enough for that to not be a hindrance. Don't use it when soloing, as it serves no purpose. Also don't use it if any of the groups you are Ae-ing have spell based attacks (which is usually not the case). Amplifies magic used against the targeted party member,...

Cone of Cold

Another great AoE spell that will be used often in your play time as a mage. It does decent damage in a good range in front of you, and has a 50 snare for 8 seconds. Best of all, its instant cast, meaning you can cast it while running on fleeing mobs, making it excellent in PvP, if you can't get Frostbolt off. The cooldown is 10 seconds, so there is only a 2 second duration where a mob can't be slowed, so against more difficult opponents, it's a good way to keep some distance. This is also...

The Green Drake

At the end are some nice blue quality rewards that you will use till level sixty. First head to one of your hunter trainers and accept the quest The Hunter's Charm.

Obsidium Skeleton Keys: Gold Hiding Right On Our Keyrings?

Are you the Keymaster After listening to my wife look for a rogue to unlock a bunch of Elementium Lockboxes in trade chat for a couple of days she asked if I had a skeleton key that might open then.I had used skeleton keys in the past and thought there might be a new Cataclysm version. I had power leveled my blacksmithing and so must not have noticed the new skeleton key recipe when I had learned it.

Level 83-84 Mists Items: Time To Stock Up

As I've discussed previously (and also recently mentioned by Phat) the new market for selling low level current-expansion items to players stuck in previous expansions while leveling, previously held by level 77-80 Cataclysm items, is likely to now be 83-84 Mists of Pandaria items.Read on past the jump for my early-expansion plans for these potentially valuable items and also tips on how I'm finding them.
