Enchanting is a primary profession in World of Warcraft that allows players to add bonuses to their armor or weapons, making them stronger, faster, or more resilient. Because enchanting is focused heavily on disenchanting items for dust, essence, and shards I suggest pairing it will Tailoring so you can make the items to disenchant. There is no real way to farm the mats you are going to need for enchanting. The only options you have are to buy the mats, pairing with tailoring to create things to disenchant, or running tons of instances and disenchant the drops. Buying the mats to reach 525 enchanting is going to cost you thousands of gold. If you are getting low on gold I suggest Clicking Here to check out the WoW gold guide I use to make thousands of gold.
The guide below uses only the Enchanting recipes found at a vendor, or enchanting trainer. Recipes dropped by mobs are not in the guide due to the fact that they may not be available on the AH or they may be extremely time consuming to farm.
WoW Enchanting Guide Index:(All values in this guide are approximate and you may use more or less of the amount shown, so buy the mats as you need them)
- 1-75 Apprentice
- 76-125 Journeyman
- 126-200 Expert
- 201-300 Artisan
- 301-375 Master
- 376-450 Grand master
- 451-525 Illustrious
Tips for Enchanting:
First I suggest looking at my Disenchanting Chart that way you know what item levels disenchant into what mats.
It is best to put any enchant you do on a Enchanting Vellum if you can afford it. Enchant Vellum can be bought at the enchanting supply vendors near the trainers.
Rods for enchanting are created by blacksmiths and not sold by vendors. You will need to buy the rods on the AH or find a blacksmith that will create the ones you need. Rods upgrade from one to the next so the lower level one will be used to make the next level of rod. each rod also serves as a lesser runed rod so you will only need the Runed Elementium rod when you are at 525.
