Gold Secrets Guide by Luke Brown is one of the best known World of Warcraft Gold Guides around. Though there are some useful reviews out there I couldn't find one that outlines the course itself, I figured I would study the material itself, give an overview of what's covered and then give my opinion of its contents. With that purpose in mind I got my hands on the Gold Secrets Gold Guide and proceeded to dissect the course.

The guide consists of 6 guides or manuals: Gold Secrets for World of Warcraft Guide

The Auctioneer's Resource

Fishing Facts Manual

The Profit Chart

Twinkling Profits

Newsletter with more bonuses

All in all it's a robust package with a hefty amount of material to consider. Though it would take you a while to use all the methods because some of the material is class or faction specific, it's good to know it's all there in case you need it down the road upon creating a new character.

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

Gold Secrets - At 325 pages this is the heart of the package. It's quite the comprehensive guide and has a substantial amount of methods. It is organized in the order of each game release; World of Warcraft -> Burning Crusade -> Lich King. There are several chapters on Daily Quests that add quite a bit of value. As of this writing the chapter count is at 211, but each chapter provides several ways of making gold within each of these tasks. For instance, the Fiery Enchant/Quest Rewards chapter not only shows you what to do, but also provides multiple ways of getting the pearls as well as how to profit off the extra pearls if you decide to get them. It's actually 2 ways of earning gold in one chapter. Most of the chapters are like this, it certainly adds value. My only gripe is that this guide should have a beginners section instead of having to page around for the beginners methods.

The Profit Chart - This chart basically tells you where to find mobs and what they drop. This is an excellent addition that really helps 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 - Pretty much a must know method if you plan on making serious gold. It's the art of buying low and selling high the WoW way. There are some key indicators that make 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 also broken down by each 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. It explains how the market works for twinks and then gives a great list of the most wanted twink items. 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. Nonetheless, Luke Brown's Gold Secrets is definitely a quality guide and I do recommend it. As with anything, make sure you do your own independent research.
