World of Warcraft is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The game requires a massive amount of gold in order to achieve the things a player wants, like new gear, abilities, professions, and spells. For many players, earning the gold in game the right way takes too much time out of their busy schedules. This guide will teach you how to buy World of Warcraft gold so that you can get the things you want quickly in the game.
Looking to buy a sweet new mount or level up your Engineering skill to the maximum? Perhaps you want to buy a new item from the Auction House or need to pay a friend to craft you something. You're going to need gold to buy the things you need in World of Warcraft and one way to get it is to buy it from companies on the web. There are many online retailers who sell gold for a cost. Always remember, this is against the Terms of Service so make sure to shop at your own risk.
Step 1: Determine How Much to Buy
There are many things a player could spend gold on, and you should prioritize what you want to buy with your purchased gold. For some people, 1,000 gold may be enough to get them the items they want. For others, 50,000 might be what it takes. Make sure that you buy the minimum amount that you need in order to reduce the risk of being caught and to make the purchase easier on your wallet.
World of Warcraft gold is generally sold in increments of 500 or 1,000. The actual cost of the gold will change depending when you are buying it. Sometimes the price per 1,000 gold will be about $10.00 USD, other times it may skyrocket up to $15.00 or $20.00. You'll want to monitor the prices over a short period of time in order to make your purchase when the prices are lower.
Step 2: Find a Reputable Company
Because buying gold is against the World of Warcraft Terms of Service, buying gold online is risky business. Many companies illegitimately sell gold and are fraudulent or scams. You should take precautions to make sure that the company you choose is not fraudulent. There are a few ways to ensure this.
1. Ask your friends who have purchased gold. If you can find a recommendation from someone who has used the company, they're likely to be legitimate.
2. Check the Better Business Bureau rating online for the company. Many of the larger and better companies will be registered with the BBB and will make searching for complaints easier.
3. Do a search online for the company or website's name so that you can see what other people are saying about it. Chances are, if it's a good company you'll end up finding other recommendations for the site online.
Step 3: Transfer the Gold Safely
There are good ways and bad ways to transfer gold in World of Warcraft from a seller. You always want to be careful with using the mail system, because it is the most common way that gold sellers transfer gold and is closely monitored. The best way is generally by meeting up with a representative from the company in the game and doing an actual trade. This is quick, easy, and will be confidential. Most gold selling companies offer this service. Another solution to transfer gold is by selling something cheap like Linen Cloth on the Auction House for the gold amount. You would then tell the seller company your name, the item, and what server you are on and they will buy it for the desired price.
Never give your username and password away to a company in order to transfer gold. There is no reason they will need your account information.
