WoW Enchanting Leveling Guide 1 - 600

This WoW Enchanting guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Enchanting skill up from 1 to 600. Updated for WoW patch 5.4

You will spend a lot of gold on this profession if you want to buy every materials from the Auction House. It depends on the realm economy, but can cost up to thousands of gold.

Enchanting really goes well with Tailoring, if you level Tailoring and Enchanting at the same time, you can disenchant most of the cloths you make, but it's good with any other crafting/gathering profession.

Enchanting Leveling Guide 1 - 50

Before you start this Enchanting guide, first lets see which items gives what, when you disenchant it.

Visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Enchanting.

I also recommend you to go to the Auction House right now and search for the following recipe: [Formula: Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina]

You should put most enchants on a Vellum if you can afford it, then try to sell the enchant at the Auction House. You can buy [Enchanting Vellum] from the Enchanting Supply vendors near your trainer.

  • 1-2

1 x [Runed Copper Rod] - 1 Copper Rod, 1 Strange Dust, 1 Lesser Magic Essence

  • 2-50
    Disenchanting green quality items

or

48 x [Enchant Bracer: Minor Health] - 48 Strange Dust

 

50 - 135

Learn Enchanting Journeyman.

If the Strange Dust is cheap and the Greater Magic Essence is too expensive on your realm, you can make this Enchant up to 120.

Go to Stonetalon Mountains if you are a Horde player and find Kulwia, for Alliance players go to Ashenvale and find Dalria. After you found the NPC, buy these two recipes: [Enchant Bracer - Lesser Strength] -[Enchant Cloak: Minor Agility]

25 x [Enchant Cloak: Minor Agility] - 25 Lesser Astral Essence

 

135 - 220

Learn Enchanting Expert.

Read the 110-135 part if you started the guide from this point. There is a location listed there for this recipe.

This one turns yellow at 165, however if 2 Soul Dust is a lot cheaper than 1 Lesser Mystic Essence, keep making these until 185. If it's not then at 165 switch to:

 

220 - 275

Learn Enchanting Artisan.

If Lesser Nether Essence is too expensive, make this until 230.

Try to hunt for [Formula: Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina] at the Auction House. It's a random world drop, but this recipe is the best to level Enchanting from 245 to 265.

The recipe is called Enchant Bracer Greater Stamina, not Boots.

Recipe sold by Kania at Silithus.

You can make [Enchanted Thorium Bar] as an alternative if you don't have Purple Lotus. The recipe will be yellow when you learn it and it turns green at 255, but it is pretty cheap to make. You can also just continue to make [Enchant Boots - Lesser Accuracy] up to 260.

Recipe location - Watch out! This one binds when picked up. Don't make the mistake of trying to buy it with an alt and mail it. It's also a limited supply item, this means you have to wait if someone bought it before you.

Check the Auction House and if 2 [Small Brilliant Shard] is cheaper than 5 [Dream Dust] then go to Winterspring and find Qia then buy the recipe [Formula: Enchant Chest - Major Health] and make the enchant until you run out of Shards, or when you reach 300. The recipe requires Enchanting skill 275 to learn, so you will need some Dream Dust between 265-275 to make the Shield enchant.

 

300 - 350

Visit your trainer and learn Enchanting Master.

12 x [Enchant Gloves - Assault] - 96 Arcane Dust

If Arcane Dust is expensive on your realm, or you don't want to level with a yellow recipe because it's based on luck how many skill points you gain, then you should make the following recipe:

10 x [Enchant Chest - Major Spirit] - 20 Greater Planar Essence

Recipe sold by Madame Ruby at Shattrath City. While you are here, you should also buy the next two recipe in the guide. Do not leave Outland until you bought them. Just click on the links below and see where they are. Superior Wizard Oil is also sold by Madame Ruby.

There is an alternative really cheap method, but only Blood Elves can benefit from it. Due to their Racial Ability it allows them to gain ten free skill ups by converting a Large Prismatic Shard into three Small Prismatic Shards and back again. Only the conversion from one Large Prismatic Shard to three Small Prismatic Shards is effected by this. Therefore, you will only have the chance to gain skill ups half of the time (since the other half of the time you'll be converting back to three Small Prismatic Shards). This can make for a fairly lengthy session in gaining your ten free levels.

What you need:
[Formula: Large Prismatic Shard] - Sold by these NPCS.
[Formula: Small Prismatic Shard] - You learn this from your trainer.

This recipe is yellow already when you learn it, so you might need to make 14-16.

 

350 - 425

Visit your trainer and learn Enchanting Grand Master.

Between 390-400 you can also make [Abyssal Shatter]. [Abyss Crystal] can be really cheap sometimes, and you also get Infinite Dust or Greater Cosmic Essences from shattering the Abyss Crystals. You can use the dusts and essences to level enchanting up to 425. You can even make this recipe up to 405 and sell all the dusts and essences you don't need.

Make this alternative recipe if you don't have dream shard: [Enchant Chest - Greater Mana Restoration]

 

425 - 500

Visit your trainer and learn Enchanting Illustrious Grand Master.

From this point you should really try to put most enchants on a Vellum, then try to sell the enchant at the Auction House.

You could also make [Enchant Chest - Mighty Stats] if Lesser Celestial Essence is cheaper than Hypnotic Dust. Make a few [Enchant Gloves - Mastery] just to mix up the number of enchants you make, so it will be easier to sell them.

Make a few [Enchant Chest - Stamina] if you are selling the enchants.

You can also make [Enchant Chest - Mighty Resilience] up to 485.

You can also start making the next recipe in the guide if you want to, and skip this part. It depends on the price of Greater Celestial Essence.

Check your Calendar in-game to see if the Darkmoon Faire is open, the event starts at 00:01 on the Sunday before the 1st Monday of each month.

You can gain +5 skill points by completing a single quest. Click here to read more about the quests.

 

500 - 600

Visit your trainer and learn Zen Enchanting.

Alternative recipes are [Enchant Bracer - Major Dodge] or [Enchant Cloak - Superior Intellect]. It doesn't really matter which one you make because you can combine 5 Spirit Dust into 1 Mysterious essence. These recipes also gives you 5 skill points instead of 2. The best way would be to make a few from every recipe because it will be easier to sell them.

or

7 x [Enchant Gloves - Superior Expertise] - 14 Mysterious essence

Alternative recipes: [Enchant Offhand - Major Intellect] or [Enchant Gloves - Superior Mastery]

I hope you liked this Enchanting guide, congratulations to 600!
