WoW Enchanting Leveling Guide 1 - 525

This WoW Enchanting guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Enchanting skill up from 1 to 525. Updated for WoW patch 4.3.3

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.

If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.

If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 85 in 5 days with this guide.

Enchanting Leveling Guide 1 - 50

 

 

Before you start this Enchanting guide, first lets see which items gives what, when you disenchant it. Go to myDisenchanting Guide, there you can find all the information you need.

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

Check out my Enchanting guide 1-110. It's about leveling Enchanting from 1 to 110 with almost no cost at all.

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.


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.

  • 100-101
    1 x [Runed Silver Rod] - 1 Silver Rod, 6 Strange Dust, 3 Greater Magic Essence, 1 Runed copper Rod


135 - 220

 

 

Learn Enchanting Expert.

  • 155-156
    1 x [Runed Golden Rod] - 1 Golden Rod, 1 Iridescent Pearl, 2 Greater Astral Essence, 2 Soul Dust, 1 Runed Silver Rod

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:

165-185
20 x [Enchant Bracer: Spirit] - 20 Lesser Mystic Essence

  • 219-220
    [Runed Truesilver Rod] 1 Truesilver Rod, 1 Black Pearl, 2 Greater Mystic Essence, 2 Vision Dust, 1 Runed Golden Rod


220 - 275

 

 

Learn Enchanting Artisan.

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

  • 250-260
    10 x [Lesser Mana Oil] - 30 Dream Dust, 20 Purple Lotus, 10 Crystal Vial

    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 the previous recipe up to 265.

  • 265-299
    40 x [Enchant Shield: Greater Stamina] - 200 Dream Dust

    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.

  • 299-300
    1 x [Runed Arcanite Rod] 1 Arcanite Rod, 10 Illusion Dust, 4 Greater Eternal Essence, 1 Runed Truesilver Rod, 2 Large Brilliant Shard -


300 - 350

 

 

Visit your trainer and learn Enchanting Master.

  • 300-301
    1 x [Runed Fel Iron Rod] 1 Fel Iron Rod, 4 Greater Eternal Essence, 6 Large Brilliant Shard, 1 Runed Arcanite Rod
  • 320-330

    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

  • 330-335
    5 x [Enchant Shield - Major Stamina] - 75 Arcane Dust

    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.

  • 335-340
    5 x [Enchant Shield - Resilience] - 5 Large Prismatic Shard, 20 Lesser Planar Essence

    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.

  • 340-350
    15 x [Superior Wizard Oil] - 45 Arcane Dust, 15 Nightmare Vine, 15 Crystal Vial - Recipe location

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

  • 350-351
    1 x [Runed Adamantite Rod] - 1 Adamantite Rod. 8 Greater Planar Essence, 8 Large Prismatic Shard, 1 Primal Might, 1 Runed Fel Iron Rod

  • 375-376
    1 x [Runed Eternium Rod] - 1 Eternium Rod, 6 Greater Planar Essence, 6 Arcane Dust, 1 Runed Adamantite Rod
  • 425-426
    1 x [Runed Titanium Rod] - 1 Titanium Rod, 12 Infinite Dust, 4 Greater Cosmic Essence,2 Dream Shard, 1 Runed Eternium Rod

  • 485-490
    5 x [Enchant Gloves - Greater Expertise] - 25 Hypnotic Dust, 10 Greater Celestial Essence

    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.
