The Massive Wow Gold Blueprint Review

The Massive WoW Gold Blueprint, by Jon Kenins, is a unique guide to making a ton of gold in the World of Warcraft. Well so what?? What's unique about another gold guide? There are a number of them out there, aren’t there? Yes, there are, but there are a couple of very interesting differences with the Gold Blueprint:

1) No Farming: Most guides tell you to farm this, and grind that. The Blueprint does zero farming and zero grinding. You will never have to visit the Elemental Plateau again (unless you want to, for some reason) and, in fact, you will never have to use your high level characters to farm anything. Everything in the Blueprint is done with characters under level 10.

2) All in Video: Most guides are either printed up on websites (such as the forums) or as Adobe PDFs. The Massive Gold Blueprint is done entirely with video and the videos are far better than what you will find on YouTube.)

Jon is confident enough in what he is teaching that he states, right up front, "I’ll show you how to get 1,000 Gold in 30 days (starting from 0 on a new server.) No 70s, no buying gold, no begging, no borrowing from the guild. From scratch with brand new, level 1 characters."

So How Does This Work?

First, some background: Typically one line of advice given (and I’ve given it) to get the gold is to get the skinning, mining, or herbalism) skills and work them as you level up. Skins and ores, and especially herbs right now, of pretty much any level, sell quite nicely. Ok, yawn, you’ve heard those before. That’s my point.

Of course, there’s also a number of good farming opportunities in the Outlands (and Northrend) which can yield upwards of 1-200 gold per hour, if you're good at it. Of course most of us would rather be raiding, PvPing, or having fun rather than mindless grinding.

Additionally the level 70 crowd can do the various daily quests, each of which which pays 5 to 20 gold, plus some quest rewards and whatever items are collected on the way. If you’re efficient with your dailies you can easily make over 100 gold per hour. Heroic dungeons, open only to 70s, are also good sources of loot.

But wouldn’t it be nice to use your mains for the fun stuff and not have to use them for farming? Wouldn’t it be better to use your low level “alts” for the gold making instead? I think so. Far beyond a PDF collection of tips on grinding locations, The Massive WoW Gold Blueprint is a set of videos and audios that takes you on a step by step route from getting started to Auction House Mastery.

Speaking of Auction House Mastery...

Every tip is covered with a video that shows you exactly how it’s done. Even if you’re brand new, with no character over level 1, on a new server, and don’t know Stormwind from Karazhan.

This quote from Jon on the Blueprint Home Page nicely sums up the whole Blueprint system:

Here’s what I discovered (referring to gold gathering.) Once you have a good handle on playing the Auction House, you can make TWICE AS MUCH Gold per hour by simply sitting in the Auction House buying and selling goods, compared to any other activity you can think of in WoW. Twice as much!
And the punchline:

Nowadays, I spend 1 - 2 hours per day on Gold-making activities in the Auction Houses on the two servers I play regularly. I make a comfortable 5,000 Gold per week. I know I could make five times as much if I were willing to put in 8 hours a day at the Auction House. But what would be the point?

5,000 Gold a Week for 1 to 2 Hours per Day

So is this really possible? Absolutely. I’ve been using these techniques to great effect and when you read the Blueprint forums you’ll find lots more people also getting great results and they share exactly what they did.

Most people will find 1-2,000 gold a week to be easy, 5k a week will take a bit of practice, and some, who put in the time, will do quite a bit more.

What's the catch?

Some people would rather farm items or gather herbs or ores or skins and then sell them. The Blueprint is 100% working the auction house and if that doesn't work for you then this product isn't for you. Warcraft Millionaire is the best of the regular gold guides and it contains lots of areas and tips for effective farming, even though the author of that book also teaches and recommends learning to use the Auction House effectively

It's on video. A PDF is easier to skim for tips, so if you'd rather skim your tips and not spend a few minutes watching a detailed video, well...

You’ll also have to use a couple of character slots to build your network, but do you really have that many main characters?

No More Rock Digging

Now some people, who have half a clue, will tell you that to make gold you need to do your dailies (decent gold, but you need a 70) or, if you’re low level, to gather this or that (eg: linen cloth, ore, herebs) and sell it. That works, but it should only be a start. The Blueprint will end the need for using your mains to dig for rocks.

The problem with using your mains for endless gathering is that you’re not using them for the fun stuff, ie: PvP, Raids, sacking Stormwind/Orgrimmar, etc.

Getting Started

Blueprint step 1 is easy enough (none of the steps are as hard as farming primals.) You’re going to make a level 1 toon and run it straight the closest capital city. This character will not level and will, in fact, do nothing except handle all the buying and selling chores for your mains and your network.This toon is your banker, or Auction House mule.

Step two is to get a cash flow started, so you’ll make a second character who will do the gathering. Gather up a few stacks of ores, skins, or herbs (or even fish) and send them to your mule to sell. If you have a character with a few gold already then you can skip this step. Send some seed cash to your mule and you're good.

Next, you’ll dive into buying, trading, cross-factions, and obtain expertise with the Auction House. You’ll spin those first few coins into enough gold to buy your Epic Flying Mount (6,000 gold with the training) out of petty cash.

Here's a screenshot of my main banking character. This is 99% from making, buying, and selling glyphs. (Click through to see a bigger picture.) Buying a few epic items, enchants, and a couple of guild bank tabs has kept the total gold down. Don't know if I'm going to get that 3 person Northrend mount that costs 15k, though...

Here’s What You Get

Once you join the Blueprint you’ll login to the site and access six modules, each intended to take a week (about an hour or two a day of game time,) but it’ll be a lot less if you have more time and/or are already clued into how the game works. Dozens of videos are broken up into the following sections:

Update: In preparation for the Wrath of the Lich King Jon has updated the Blueprint to cover Cashing in on Herbs and Inscription and other Wrath subjects.

   1. Week one - The basics are covered. You’ll get your characters and network up and running, you’ll learn how to use the auction house, and you’ll get started with your initial gold generation.

   2. Week two - You’ll move into higher gear with the Auction House. You’ll learn about buying and selling specific items and you’ll learn about certain market niches, in-depth. Also covered are AH Best Practices and common AH mistakes.

   3. Week Three - Now that you’ve got some real gold flowing you’ll be working with higher-priced items and get the in-depth scoop on working with those items. Plus more best practices and worst mistakes, finding cross-faction trading opportunities, as swell as keeping notes and lists.

   4. Week Four - You will start realizing the full potential of the Massive Gold Blueprint method. You will establish a set of lucrative Profit Pipelines that you can work through fast when you log in each day to make even more gold. In-depth on more expensive and exotic items. You will achieve full Auction House mastery.

   5. Bonus "weeks" include the Wrath of the Lich King videos and several other topics not covered in the first four sets. Of course, if time permits, you don't have to spend a week on each section.

Of course, the first thing some people will say is something like this, “Bah, that’s easy. I can do 1k gold in a few days.”

Sure you can. But can you do that when none of your toons is over level 10? When you don’t have a guild or high level character donating cash to your characters? In other words, starting from scratch on a new server? Can you earn 1000 gold in 30 days, starting from zero? How about when you can't farm stuff for 10 hours a day?

30 Day Speed Run to 1,000 Gold.

Starting from zero, on a new server, with no contacts, guilds, or gold buying, Jon did the 30 days to 1,000 gold speed run and includes all the details when you join the blueprint. He gives every last detail, including what goods he obtained and how he sold them. By the way, he made a lot more than 1,000 gold and you get all the notes.

There's also the:

    * Full money back guarantee, but if you follow the system it’ll be hard not to make lots of gold. This means that there’s no risk for you.

To sum it up - If you’re the player who’d like to have a lot more WoW gold and either doesn’t have high level characters or would like to use them for something other than farming gold, then hop over to the Massive WoW Gold Blueprint and join us on the inside, right now.
