What's the point of playing World of Warcraft if you stink at stacking up gold? I already know how you feel about that, so let's move on. Fact of the matter is, without a good WoW gold guide you'll be left out in the cold or like the endless lines of "suckers" out there who are still paying for gold. So what should you look for in a WoW gold guide? Read on to find out.

First thing to look for: if you don't even know of any gold guides to check out yet, don't worry, we'll cover that soon. But, once you get a list of gold guides you're interested in (and trust me, there are plenty)-go and look for reviews or look around message boards to see if anyone can tell you if it's worth the cash.

Second thing to look for: is this guide getting results? Is it something you can use? WoW players are usually at different levels of "experience"-i.e., some people are total newbies and others are pros, so will the guide be easy to implement and get going? This is something you want to keep in mind before you take the dive and grab a gold guide.

Third thing to look for: is it a print version of the book or a digital guide? A lot of people like paying for something and receiving something physical, but a digital guide is actually better most of the time. Do you really want to go and find a book you can lose, thumb to a certain page, spend time reading it, spend time putting it away when you could just keep the digital guide open and alt + tab to it whenever you need it? Everyone is different, so think about what you need.
