Gold Secrets Review - Gold Secrets Guide by Luke Brown
The original review that inspired me to create this site

Gold Secrets Guide is one of the best known WoW gold guides. Though there are some good reviews out there I couldn't find one that outlines the course itself. I decided to get the guide, study the material, give an overview of what's covered, and then give my opinion of its contents. With that purpose in mind I purchased the Gold Secrets Guide by Luke Brown and proceeded to take a closer look at the guide, manuals, and charts.

The guide consists of 6 guides or manuals:

1. Gold Secrets for World of Warcraft Guide
2. The Auctioneer's Resource
3. Fishing Facts Manual
4. The Profit Chart
5. Twinkling Profits
6. Newsletter with more bonuses

All in all it's a robust package with a hefty amount of material to consider. There are class or faction specific methods so it will take you a while to get through it. It definitely lot but it's nice to know that it's there when you finally need it.

Here's a brief description of each guide and manual:

Gold Secrets - At 325 pages this is the heart of the package. It is an awesome guide full of over 200 chapters of incredibly super cool info. Some of the stuff you read is gonna make you slap yourself in the forehead and say "Why didn't I figure that out?" This is one of the best, if not the best resources of any kind that you will find for WoW. You really need to see it to believe it.

The Profit Chart - This chart basically tells you where to find mobs and what they drop. This addition will really help to save time. I really like the fact that it shows the level range you need to get it done. Something similar should have been included in the main Gold Secrets guide.

The Auctioneer's Resource - Very much a necessary skill if you plan on making a lot of gold. It's the old 'buy low sell high' principle in the Auction House. There are important points made about what makes an item valuable at any given time, and it's detailed here. It's a good addition but frankly I've seen better auction guides out there.

Fishing Facts Manual - Now this is what you call a fishing guide. This is comprehensive stuff. It provides a clear explanation of what special number number of skill points you need above your base skill points to really make things happen with fishing. It provides great lists and tables with a lot of important information that will drastically cut your learning curve. It's split by faction; Horde and Alliance. In my opinion the best organized and detailed manual in the package.

Twinking Profits - Nice little guide, only 6 pages but covers pretty much what you need to know to profit from twinks. A thorough explanation of how the market works with twinks and lists the most in demand twink stuff. Short but sweet. Full of very valuable info.

All in all this is quite a nice package of gold making material. I hope this enlightens you a bit on what Luke Brown's Gold Secrets Guide is all about. As I said, my primary gripe is with the Gold Secrets main guide, although very comprehensive and full of valuable information, I would have preferred that it was better organized, more along the fashion of the Fishing Manual.

There are other quality gold guides out there, Valkor's Gold Guide and WoW Tycoon come immediately to mind and are worthy of your research. With that said, Gold Secrets Guide is a quality guide and I give it a thumbs up. As with anything, make sure you do your own independent research. I hope you enjoyed my Gold Secrets Guide Review.
