Economical enchanting training

This is a guide on how to train Enchanting economically.

As this is intended to save you money, buy only the materials you are sure you will need. If you run out, buy more. Avoid having extras, but if you do, try to sell them back on the Auction House.

Because Magic Essences (e.g. [Lesser Magic Essence] and [Greater Magic Essence]) can be freely changed between their lesser and greater forms, section totals will be in lesser forms. Step totals, however, will show whichever form is needed to complete the step.

The rods made by Blacksmiths can be very expensive on the Auction House; it will save you time and money to find a Blacksmith to make all the rods at once.

The best source of materials is from your own disenchanting. Higher level characters have a much easier time of obtaining materials by farming instances of significantly lower levels. For example, a level 70 character can easily farm Shadowfang Keep for uncommon quality items of low level in order to obtain Soul Dust and Lesser Magic Essence. Similarly, tailors can create low-level cloth items fairly readily in order to disenchant them for materials. See the Disenchanting tables for a list of what items can be used for your raw materials. NOTE: Check the Auction House for items for Disenchanting as well as dusts, essences, and shards. It may be less expensive to purchase low-level green gear than to purchase stacks of materials.

Artisan

Artisan Enchanting allows 300 maximum skill, requires level 35 and 200 skill in the profession. The Formula: Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina might be somewhat rare on the AH since the Burning Crusade expansion came out, so you can continue doing Enchant Cloak - Lesser Agility for 246-250. It may not give a skill-up every cast, but 6-7 sets of mats should get you the 5 levels needed, for cheaper than the recipe and mats.

The Lesser Mana Oil and Wizard Oil can be a very cheap way to get from 250-300 in Enchanting if you can find pre-BC mats being sold for low prices on the AH on your server. Both formulas are sold by Kania at Cenarion Hold in Silithus. If you have the Recipe: Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina, though, you may consider using this enchantment to get 245-285 as you may not get skill-ups from the Lesser Mana Oil all the time. You may also craft the Wizard Oil for 295-299.

Enchant Chest - Major Health is a very cheap way of getting from 275 to 300. Small Brilliant Shard is Disenchanted from Blackrock Depths gear, and other level 42-52 dungeons.

Skill	Product	Qty.	Materials (Total)
225	Enchant Boots - Stamina Req. Runed Truesilver Rod	10	5 Vision Dust (50)
235	Enchant Chest - Superior Health Req. Runed Truesilver Rod	5	6 Vision Dust (30)
240	Enchant Cloak - Lesser Agility Req. Runed Truesilver Rod	5	2 Lesser Nether Essence (10)
245	Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina Req. Runed Truesilver Rod	5	5 Dream Dust (25)
250	Lesser Mana Oil	25	3 Dream Dust (75) 2 Purple Lotus (50) 1 Crystal Vial (25)
275	Enchant Chest - Major Health	25	2 Small Brilliant Shard (50)
295	Runed Arcanite Rod	1	10 Illusion Dust (10) 4 Greater Eternal Essence (4) 2 Large Brilliant Shard (2) 1 Arcanite Rod (1) 1 Golden Pearl (1)
296	Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense	4	8 Illusion Dust (32)
