Warcraft Wealth Gold Guide Review
Wayne Williams’ book, Warcraft Wealth Guide, sets itself apart from other guides with the tone it takes via Williams’ writing. It gets down the nitty-gritty of what you need to know but there is an emphasis on making sure you learn the method of gold-making discussed thoroughly.
The book starts off with a basic overview of the various character classes, covering Druid to Paladin. Then Williams goes into a little discussion regarding different play styles. These styles and approaches are most appropriate after a player has reached level 70, which the author agrees with as well, since most players are only focused on leveling until then.
Then you get into the meat and heart of the guide itself. Williams starts off well with good descriptions and visuals of various third party add-ons to the WoW environment. He also adds very good descriptive snapshots of the software in action, so you see exactly what you get with the various add-ons. He walks the reader through each one, and why it’s a benefit to have in terms of gameplay. More importantly, he provides all-useful link to get the software if you’re interested enough to want it yourself.
William covers and gives topical reference to quite a bit of the aspects of WoW’s quests, but the Wealth Guide is primarily designed for the more experienced player rather than the novice.
Material covers topics from basic starting points, to auctions and how to sell correctly, to gold-making via professions and grinding. Then the guide continues into hard-to-get mounts, quests and daily quests, and finally additional tips on how to continue to work WoW for its best benefits via the mail system and through the daily quest rewards.
In short, Williams’ book is written to a specific audience of 70 level players who are looking for a specific loot or how to get enough gold for an epic mount. The guide can be very informative for other players, but some of the aspects maybe above the level of lower players unless they approach the book’s topics via a large group or raid.
As a result, Williams’ book is best value for a player’s money after they have utilized other guides at lower levels and especially if they are looking for gold-making activities since that is what their current playtime is dedicated to most of the game.
Rogue’s verdict: 4/5
