I realize this site is barely off the ground but there are already a lot of tips and I’m ready to get started. I’m thinking of perhaps doing a podcast or just posts on my progress to 1000g from absolutely nothing, with no help, and NO add on. But first I need a […]

When this site gets slightly more mature, I’m going to start my own new character and chart my progress here on the site.
But let’s talk about you. You’ve made the plunge. Your friends / co-workers are on another server or you’ve just began playing this huge game for the first time. You’re level 1, […]

Should I always have a buyout price?
Whether in the trade channel or auction house, you should always have a number in mind, and it should be negotiable. In the auction house, you should generally include a buyout unless you are just testing the waters. On nearly all of my items, I use the same minimum […]
