WoW Enchanting Guide
Primary Production Profession
This is a guide on how to level your Enchanting profession from 1 to 450 quickly. At each level, it outlines which enchants you will be able to do, and which materials you will need to do them.
If you need info on any of the items or places mentioned in this guide, head over to

Enchanting is the practice of casting permant spells on weapons and armor to improve them. The Enchants you will be able to do will be beneficial for all classes. This profession is best paired with Tailoring, as you can then disenchant the items you tailor in order to gain materials for Enchants. Sadly, even paired with Tailoring, Enchanting is an expensive skill to level. The materials needed can only be found from disenchanting items or the Auction House, and so cannot be easily farmed or gathered like most other materials. However, once you reach the higher levels of the profession, your enchants will be in demand and you can begin to make some gold. All prices in this guide are approximate, they may differ slightly depending on where you buy recipes and your server.
Obviously, you will need to enchant items to level up your Enchanting. You can either enchant the same piece of gear over and over (provided it meets the requirements of the enchant), find someone who needs their item enchanted, or purchase vellum from the Auction House or a Scribe to enchant and then sell on the Auction House.
