How and where to find Special Items on WoW

In the World of Warcraft, some specific items that are very much useful in the game are hidden in various locations. 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 - It can be found in Winterspring. Check it out in the vicinity of the cave of the blue dragon. This is the best spot, but you can also find it in the Badlands and the Eastern Plaguelands.

By mining the Dark Nodes in the Searing Mountains, you could earn this for yourself. Blood of the Mountain - If you are near mastering your profession, it is necessary for quests later on in the game. This sells incredibly well in the auction house.

Dark Runes – If you go after only one item, this should be it. 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 – You could find these items in the Felwoods, where the mobs have a very high drop rate, making it a very lucrative find.

Larval Acid – One of these can easily get you 10 gold pieces so having some may be handy in the trade. Larval Acid is found 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 items are pretty hard to find and you'd probably need to try your luck getting them late at night to get better results. Look for these on the coasts of Kalimdor. You can usually get around 1 gold piece for each one that you 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 provide you with a standard price that you will be basing the prices of your items on. Try scheduling auctions on early evenings. You can easily do well at an auction during this time, while the middle of the night can be very slow.

Flooding the auction house with too many similar items is bad strategy. 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. You may choose one of each of your more popular items, or maybe three or four of the more common items. You will have better chances of obtaining higher prices if you bring some of your items after leaving the marketplace.

Although undercutting the prices of your competitors may seem like a good strategy, it may only ruin the market for an item. Play the game clean and keep your prices fair to do well at the auction house. This will only increase your chance of gaining enemies. To assure of a better chance of being successful at the auction house, come up with fair prices.

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. Have fun playing!
