Enchanting Leveling Guide

Ten Ton Hammer's Enchanting Guide

Enchanting 1-375 Leveling Guide

Everyone knows enchanting is one of the hardest professions to level up. It is also one of the most costly, since you lose the ability to sell off all the green and blue items you pickup that you can not use. This represents a major loss of income along your way through the game. To minimize the time and effort that you need to spend to level this in demand profession we present this guide on the best way to “power” skill the Enchanting profession in World of Warcraft. We've found the recipes with the least amount of materials so that you can level quickly! And, outside of the Outland recipes, all of these recipes can be obtained from trainers!

As mentioned before, enchanting is expensive, really expensive, so make sure that you are positive that this is the profession for you before you start. Once you do, the first step is getting from skill level 1 to 300. To do this will take in the neighborhood of 500 gold in supplies, so be prepared.

Once you reach 300, things are just getting started. The trip from 300-375 is at least 10x harder and can be up to 10x more expensive as well! Depending on your server you could pay up to 5000 gold for the mats to hit skill level 375. On most servers it will end up costing you around 4,000 to 5,000 gold unless you spend a long time farming on your own.

For the skill 1 - 300 trip you will need the following ingredients:

NOTE: These are estimated amounts as you will not get a skill point for every enchant.

  • 180 Strange Dust
  • 100 Soul Dust
  • 180 Vision Dust
  • 300 Dream Dust
  • 100 Illusion Dust
  • 15 Lesser Magic Essence
  • 25 Greater Magic Essence
  • 15 Lesser Astral Essence
  • 2 Greater Astral Essence
  • 25 Lesser Mystic Essence
  • 2 Greater Mystic Essence
  • 15 Lesser Nether Essence
  • 25 Greater Nether Essence
  • 4 Greater Eternal Essence
  • 4 Small Brilliant Shard
  • 2 Large Brilliant Shard
  • 1 Shadowgem
  • 1 Iridescent Pearl
  • 1 Black Pearl
  • 1 Golden Pearl
  • 1 Copper Rod
  • 1 Silver Rod
  • 1 Golden Rod
  • 1 Truesilver Rod
  • 1 Arcanite Rod

For the trip from 300 to 375, you will not be able to get all of your recipes from the trainers. We focus on recipes that you can get from trainers, vendors and as reputation rewards. Remember, these are not the only recipes available, they are simply the ones that will help you get to 375 the fastest.

You will need the following materials for skill of 300-375:

  • 400 Arcane Dust
  • 140 Large Prismatic Shards
  • 200 Greater Planar Essence
  • 60 Illusion Dust
  • 10 Nightmare Vine
  • 10 Imbued Vial
  • 6 Large Brilliant Shard
  • 4 Greater Eternal Essence
  • 1 Fel Iron Rod
  • 1 Runed Arcanite Rod
  • 1 Adamantite Rod
  • 1 Primal Might

It may be a wise idea if you’re level 70 to farm for a lot of the materials yourself to save on the very expensive costs. However if you have the gold, buying in the auction house will save you a significant amount of time.

Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense

8x Illusion Dust

 Fairly cheap enchant to do and one that almost anyone can use.
305-325

Enchant Bracers - Assault

6x Arcane Dust

This is a very cheap enchant and can be sold very easily in main cities. Don't expect as much as the mats cost, but then when can we get that...

At 315 you can move to enchanting cloaks for Major Armour if you want, but it costs an extra 2 dust. Easier to stick with bracers.
325-335

Enchant Chest - Major Spirit

 Almost impossible to sell, but its REALLY cheap to enchant, so just do your chest piece over and over again.
340-345

 This is a great item either for your use, or for sale on the Auction House. I always keep a few of them around, if for nothing else than to give away in groups.

Enchant Gloves - Major Strength

12x Arcane Dust
1x Greater Planar Essence

After this they get really expensive to do, so milk this one for all its worth.

Runed Adamantite Rod

1x Adamantite Rod
8x Greater Planar Essence
8x Large Prismatic Shard

Enchant Ring - Spellpower

8x Large Prismatic Shards
8x Greater Planar Essence

This is an expensive enchant and one that can only be done to your own rings, but it is much cheaper than the alternatives.

Enchant Ring - Healing Power

8x Large Prismatic Shards
10x Greater Planar Essence
20x Arcane Dust

This is another expensive enchant and one that can only be done to your own rings, but it is much cheaper than the alternatives. Even if your not a healer, it is the easiest way to skill up.
