1-375 Enchanting Guide

Leveling Enchanting is generally accepted to be one of the more difficult tradeskill tasks in World of Warcraft. This guide is intended to help you make sense of the process and know in advance what you are going to need to succeed.

You gain skill points in Enchanting from two different things:
Disenchanting a green, blue, or purple item, and Enchanting your armor with the Enchants that you have learned. When you Disenchant an item it destroy that item and give you some kind of enchanting reagent.
The reagent Disenchanting yields is dependent on the level and quality of the item being disenchanted.

Green Items typically only disenchant into the following. Occasionally they will yield a shard but its unlikely and shouldn't be counted on.
Blue items are more likely to disenchant into a shard but they are not commonly found in the world and are typically better off sold on the auction house or worn. Epic quality items will not be considered in this guide, as it is unlikely you will disenchant any of those to level.
*Note: The level requirement indications on these are not YOUR level, they are the item level of the item you are disenchanting.

This guide will primarily focus on how much of each enchanting reagent you will need at every stage of enchanting to level it all the way up. The recipes required are ones that are trained from the enchanting trainer OR sold on a vendor.
As often as possible shards will not be used as they are much harder to come by. How you aquire items to disenchant is completely up to you. You will find them as quest rewards and as random drops. If you have a lot of gold you can buy them off the auction house.

Enchanting Leveling Tactics

What follows is the fastest tactic for leveling enchanting. It assumes that you already have all the required enchanting materials. If you're leveling enchanting while you're leveling up your character, however, obviously you aren't going to have all the required materials.
Don't worry, just disenchant the items you find and when you have a stockpile of enchanting materials, reference the guide for how best to use them to maximize your enchanting leveling.
Disenchanting the items will give you skill points as well! Below the Leveling Tactics guide you will find a list of enchanting vendors and trainers where you will learn the required recipes. Enchants marked with a * need to be purchased from a vendor.

1-50 - Disenchanting green quality items (save all your dusts/essences!)
