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.

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. If you are not familiar with how the auction house works, you’re going to want to sit back and watch for a few days. It will help you familiarize the idea of pricing and demand and how the auction works in general.

I suggest that you don’t price your items too high or 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.

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. A good strategy would be to start with one or two of your more popular items and combing them with only a few common items. If you don't saturate the market with what you have, you’ll get a better hand of receiving better prices.

Avoid undercutting the other players’ prices too much. 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. Keep your prices fair and you’ll have a much better chance of doing well at the auction house.

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. Enjoy!
