WoW Enchanting Guide


This enchanting guide provides you the cheapest and the quickest way to level this profession. It uses formulas obtained only from vendors or trainers. So you won't go through the whole world to get a rare formula and got 2 more points in your skill. To get the information about specific formula (its source) you can click on its title.

Enchanting is one of the most expensive professions to level if you will buy all mats from the AH. Instead of doing this you can disenchant all the drop and you can get and use mats for leveling. For example you can farm instances for greens and disenchant them. Materials for high level enchants (Enchanting skill 400+) can be very expensive but this enchants are rather powerful to start selling them. You can put them on vellum (a scroll containing enchantment so anyone can enchant item using it) and place on Auction House. Either you can search for clients using trade channel. Sometimes you can found people who need an enchantment and have all mats. You can enchant item for them without taking fee, just for skill up.

A good profession pairs for Enchanting are Tailoring and Inscription. Tailoring is good for skill leveling – you can disenchant crafted clothes and get materials for enchanting. With inscription you can create vellums for boosting your enchants sales. However you may want to take any gathering profession for making gold.
