Boost Your WoW Gold Profits with Microfinances

Use microfinances to boost your profits. More profits mean more WoW gold. Don’t know what microfinances are? That’s okay, this article will explain them.

Tired of Grinding for WoW Gold? Is your stuff in the Auction House not selling? Getting frustrated with the completely unfair economy? We feel you.

Worry no more, though, because this article will help you find a niche to dominate in the economy through microfinance—they’re your one-way ticket to getting rich.

Microfinances in a Nutshell

Economies have an 80/20 (sometimes 80/19/1) rule. It’s short for ‘20% of a population hold 80% of its wealth’. For the alternate, an internet example: 80% lurk, 19% are active, but only 1% are creators. Back to the Pareto Principle (80/20), the richest players on a World of Warcraft server actually use it. 80% of their profit comes from the top 20% of items.

The top seller gets the best of it, while the next best get something much less. When you’re at the bottom, you’re left with nothing but the crumbs, so to speak. That’s where microfinances come in. They’re the cheap but still-needed items. They’re easily ignored but can be bought in bulk, and that last part is where they have a distinct advantage.

Look at it this way. Let’s say you’re selling something that costs 25 gold. If you’ve sold 40 pieces of it, you get 1000 gold. Selling a hundred nets 2500 gold. With a constant demand, you can sell that amount and more within a given day. Isn’t that better than hedging your bets on selling a single expensive thing when you’re not even sure if someone will buy your offer or not? It’s easier to accept that you didn’t sell a majority of your cheap stuff. On the flipside, you’ll feel frustrated when you see your expensive item still up for grabs.

Is It Better than the Other Way?

No, not really. Except that someone else may already be dominating the other way, so you have to diversify. You actually need both sides to balance. It’s more of bolstering profits with microfinances than relying on selling expensive items only.

Take Advantage of Microfinances!

Other than being cheap, they’re also quite easy to collect and farm. It’s easy to maintain bulk offers in the AH for an almost constant supply for the demand. The trick is figuring out which items are in demand. That would take careful and dedicated observation of the market. It would also need practice to easily see the gaps in supply and fill it in. Starting out will be rough, but it’ll get easier in time.

There’s no easy way to profit if that’s what you’re looking for. Any guide you’ll find will require effort on your part. Of course, there are other ways to get gold when you’re desperate. However, don’t you think that getting something through your own efforts is more rewarding?

Whether you agree or not, it’s a fact. Nothing will ever happen if you just sit or stand around in-game. It also applies to real life. So go out there and profit with microfinances!

The Ever-Changing Conflict: New Features of Battle for Azeroth

Blizzard usually releases an expansion once every two years. That is, up until Battle for Azeroth was announced, which is slated to be launched in November of this year, while they just released Legion a few months ago. Despite the short time between the two, it seems like it was enough for Blizzard to plan and create enough content in order to ensure that the going on fifteen-year-old MMO remains fresh, enjoyable, and relevant.

Old War, New Front

New things for every expansion, including WoW Mounts, however, depends on the direction of the game’s story and its core theme. For the Battle of Azeroth, the conflict is at the heart of everything and is the very heart itself. After years of factions being reduced to a mere lore-related player detail that’s determined by race, it is going to once again become an important determinant of one’s fate in Azeroth, as Blizzard will be fanning the flames of war once more between the Alliance and the Horde. It is a brilliant move, as it propels the game forward, while at the same time taking it back to its roots, perhaps even further than Legion did.

The best new feature that represents Battle for Azeroth would be the Warfront Mode. Warfronts are 20-player PVE missions that look and feel like a real-time strategy game, just like the original Warcraft games, except that this time, you are the heroes leading the charge and turning the tides of war to your advantage on the ground rather than giving orders from a birds-eye view.

Everybody Wins

Aside from the fact that it will be very reminiscent of the old Warcraft games, Warfronts will be rotating between the two factions. For example, Alliance players would first hold Stormgarde Keep, and after that, the Horde, after gaining enough resources, will lay siege on it. Stormgarde Keep, an old vanilla WoW zone, brings out the feeling of the old times even more.

Going back to the Warfronts mechanics, the opposing faction, after the victory of the other, can launch a counter. It is an eternal back-and-forth battle, and the good part is that if you are not the competitive type, it is PVE and not PVP, so launching a Warfront is a guaranteed victory. That means nobody loses, everybody wins, everybody gets rewards, and nobody will be angry about the other faction.

Do know, however, that a lot is not yet known about Warfronts. Since we are still a few months away from launch, a lot of the mechanics and small details can still change, so be ready.

World at War

Aside from a new PVE mode, PVP will also be seeing a change, as the World PVP will be replaced by War Mode. That means that the old mechanics of players being able to attack other players in servers that have their World PVP will be phased out for the new one. This time around, World PVP will be turned off by default. So, in order for players to participate in this version of World PVP, they will have to go to the capital city of their respective factions, and choose to turn War Mode on or off.

If you turn it on and go to the open world, you will be able to attack players from other factions and vice versa. It is not required to try your hand at War Mode, but those who successfully make kills will receive extra experience and Azerite Power.

Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is not just about reigniting the strife between Azeroth’s two halves, but about changing how the two wage war against one another. Hopefully, both the Alliance and the Horde are ready for these new stages of combat.

Looking Forward to World of Warcraft Events

Events add a new layer to gameplay, giving players a much-needed break from grinding. Some even give event exclusive items that become more valuable as time passes. Events also increase interest for World of Warcraft (WoW), attracting amateur and veteran players. Keep in mind that events can be weekly, monthly, or even holidays. Blizzard planned an event-packed month for May, where citizens of Azeroth celebrate.

5 World of Warcraft Events in May

Children’s Week: a Battleground bonus event where players receive Honor at an increased rate.

PVP Brawl: capture the flag at Warsong Gulch.

Darkmoon Faire: showing sights from all around Azeroth and beyond, as well as games that test the mind and courage of players.

Legion Dungeon: final bosses drop an extra item upon defeat.

Spring Balloon Festival: a three-day mini holiday was active.

The 2 Ongoing Events

The two current events are the Pet Battle, and the PVP Brawl: Deepwind Dunk.

Pet Battle: triples the experience for gaining pets, so go out and battle (same applies to the PVP Brawl in Pandaria).

PVP Brawl: Deepwind Dunk: players must grab a ball from either the center, northern, or southern areas of the map, and then go to the enemy base. From there, players can attempt either a long-range shot or go for the dunk, while trying to avoid enemies from killing them. These two events end on May 23, so take the chance now before it’s too late.

Upcoming Events

As May is coming to an end, Cataclysm dungeons will be open every three weeks for the Timewalking event. Players can revisit the dungeons from the Cataclysm expansion, and gain loot from those dungeons scaled to the character’s natural level. The event will be open for characters level 86 and above. Time walking is an excellent opportunity to gather World of Warcraft Gold since these items cannot be obtained anywhere else.

On the 27^thof May, the Glowcap Festival will take place in Zagarmarsh. Help the sporelings keep the great Fshoo alive. You never know, they might reward you with amazing things. Lastly, there’s an Arena Skirmish Event that will roll over to June. While the event is active, players earn Honor faster through Arena Skirmishes.

Is there Anything Else?

Weekly events rotate every week, and the dungeons for another expansion will be available for Timewalking in another three weeks. PVP Brawls rotate roughly every two weeks. Besides, there are several micro-holidays throughout those periods where players won’t run out of things to do. It gives them something else to break the grind of leveling up and gathering WoW Gold. Expect more events to come this year. Happy adventuring!
