Finding Special Items in the World of Warcraft

January 29th, 2009 | by Wiiabetes Guest Blogger |

In WoW, there are special items hidden in different locations that can be extremely useful. These said items could be sold at the Auction House or to vendors, and are definitely a great way to make more money. Here’s a quick guide on how to find special items in the World of Warcraft.

Black Lotus – This item can be found in Winterspring. Check it out in the vicinity of the cave of the blue dragon. While this is the best spot, you might also want to find it in the Badlands or the Eastern Plaguelands.

By mining the Dark Nodes in the Searing Mountains, you could earn this for yourself. It is necessary for quests later on in the game as well as for those who are nearing mastering their professions. It is one of the best-selling items at the auction house.

Dark Runes - if you are only after for one item, this should be your item. Dark Runes are a must for this game and there is such a high number of demand. You can get them by killing mobs in Scholo.

Essence of Water - This can be found in the Felwoods, where the mobs have a very high drop rate, making it very lucrative for gamers to go after them.

Larval Acid – One of these can easily get you 10 gold pieces so having some may be handy in the trade. You can find it in the Eastern Plaguelands by grinding slugs. This is a great manner to earn gold fast since the drop rate is actually quite high.

Stonescale Eels – These can be pretty hard to find and you’ll need to try to get them late at night for the best results. They could be found along the coasts of Kalimdor. Usually, you can go around with 1 gold piece for each Stonescale Eels you’d find.

After knowing how to find special items in the World of Warcraft, you’ve got to learn how to sell them. Here are som Auction House tips:

Since you’re going to need to sell these items in the auction house for best results, it’s important to have a good strategy to make the most money. For beginners who are unaware of how selling things at the auction house works, you may have to observe the procedure first for a couple of days. It will help you familiarize the idea of pricing and demand and how the auction works in general.

I would suggest pricing your items reasonably and at neither a price too high nor too low. The auction system will automatically give you a base price and you’ll be able to decide if you want to price it a little higher or a little lower. It’s a good idea to schedule your auctions for times when player activity is higher, such as early evening. When player activity is high, it’s easy to do well as the middle of the night can be very slow.

A word of advise: don’t flood the auction house with many very similar items. ind you, it could be very tempting to lay down everything you own and move on, but this will later prove to be a very bad idea. Begin selling with one from each of the more popular items you have and perhaps three or four from your more common items. If you don’t saturate the market with what you have, you’ll get a better hand of receiving better prices.

As much as possible, resist the urge to run other players out of the auction by unfairly undercutting their prices. While it’s one thing to be competitive, it’s quite another to ruin the market for an item. This practice is frowned upon and will only win you enemies. Make sure your prices are reasonable, it will pay off in the long run.

That’s just the gist of knowing how to find special items in the World of Warcraft but I hope you learned a lot of practical information from this article and that you get to apply it in your game. Good luck!
