WoW Dressing Room Software

Dressing Room is a repack of a program created by a world-of-warcraft-loving Chinese programmer. It is a standalone program similar to World of Warcraft Model Viewer that does not require an install of WoW/BC that lets you view in high quality TIER 4 & TIER 5 gear on Draenei & Blood Elf characters, as if they were in your login screen.

Information:
Original program was called "WoWNTDemo" which stands for "World of Warcraft New Type Demo" and was coded by a chinese guy.

This guy at gnomeproblem.com changed the title/icon with Res Hack and updated the ReadMe.txt to include all functions capable in this program. PLEASE READ IT!

WOW News: World Of Warcraft Top List

Hi guys, Blizzard just launched a new feature in their offical WOW site, the WOW Top List. This top list divided into 6 categories: most sought-after items in the Auction House, most common player-created items, the fiercest killers in the NPC kingdom, most gathered and found items, most looted items, and the most popular quests. Know what is the most popular quest? It's A Threat Within! Which means here: The most popular character is: HUMAN! Check it out!

World of Warcraft Top List

Selling World of Warcraft Recipes

Good way to earn easy money is by selling recipes for lots of money which you buy very cheap! Best sellers are brothers knaz and gnaz blunderflames in STV (http://thottbot.com/?m=23421&s=b). They sell Schematic: Deadly Scope and, Schematic: Mechanical Dragonling. You can only buy one of each per day. Mechanical dragonling costs 1 gold each ( you can easily sell it for 6 gold), and Deadly Scope costs 20 silver, which you can sell for 4-5 gold! Another nice recipe is Mithril Mechanical Dragonling which is sold by Ruppo Zipcoil in hinterlands (http://thottbot.com/?m=42274&s=b). It costs 40 silver what you can sell easily for 5-5.50g. I earned about 100g per week. This isn't a very high income, but its very easy! Along with that but the profit margin is extremely high. (Depends on realm social status how much you sell)

Selling Your Junks

Obviously one of the things that motivates players the most is earning gold. Gold gets you new equipment, better abilities, and in my opinion, just looks good in high quantities. So how do you make gold? Mining is one way, but running instances like the deadmines combines mining to get bronze with lots of magic/wool/linen drops. And if you can run it alone, plenty of coin drops from those elites! I found out at an early level that large sums of money can be made with mining. Shortly after I found that linen stacks can go for 1-2g! I was shocked. I tested it over and over and with one stack of linen or wool with a buyout of 2g for linen and no buyout for wool can get you rich! Place both at starting bids of 10s and set for 24 hours.

The Deadmines are a goldmine for getting cash at low lvls. Bronze can even be smelted in mid instance! Magic items can be sold in AH or to venders and wool and linen are in heavy supply!

Optimized WoW Gold Farming Techniques

When setting up your character, be sure first to read about the characters plus, and minuses; then set up for the strong and weak points. Take in consideration how the character supports himself and how the character can keep going and keep on track to level without losses.

Don't spend money on items at the auction during the first 10 levels of your character. Almost everything you will need, will drop to you from the quests. Keep your activities balance in the amount time of questing and making products. Then, as you gain money from making and questing you will see your pocket grow.

The usual, your character does by the skills he has, whether it is mining, leather, or tailoring. You make and sell your products. This is how you gain, the more you practice your trade, the more gold you have in your pocket, when you sell the items. The higher the level your character is the higher the prices in the prices of your products.

Resale, this happened during the holidays. I know of a character that went out and bought snowballs and after collecting many, was selling them at a higher price to others. Later bragging about the profit. Take advantage of this.

Once you level some you can charge others to guide them through lower quests that you can whiz threw. There are many ways to make money, for example you can protect and kill for lower characters.

In the group playing, be sure to express your wants and needs, to keep the character going. Drink and food on hand before; so your character can keep going till the quest is completed.
