Why Choose Enchanting?

Enchanting complements almost every class in WoW Classic. It allows you to:

  1. Improve item stats with permanent magical enhancements
  2. Disenchant items into reagents for crafting
  3. Earn gold by selling popular enchants
  4. Support your raid team with powerful buffs

Getting Started

How to Train Enchanting

To begin your enchanting journey, visit one of the Enchanting trainers in major cities like Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Undercity. You'll start as an Apprentice, and will need to revisit trainers to progress through the skill ranks:

  1. Apprentice (1-75)
  2. Journeyman (75-150)
  3. Expert (150-225)
  4. Artisan (225-300)

Each rank requires a minimum character level and some gold to unlock. Training as early as possible will help you disenchant unwanted green or blue items, giving you valuable reagents to level up.

What You Need to Begin

Enchanting doesn't require gathering materials from the world. Instead, you’ll break down magical items and use the resulting materials for your enchants. To get started, you will need:

  1. A Runed Copper Rod - the basic enchanting tool
  2. Plenty of green and blue gear for disenchanting
  3. A reliable source of Enchanting materials like Strange Dust, Lesser Magic Essence, and Greater Eternal Essence

Leveling Your Enchanting Skill

Disenchanting Gear

Disenchanting is your main source of Enchanting materials. As a rule of thumb, green items typically yield dust and Lesser Essences, while blue items can produce Greater Essences or Shards. Some mob-heavy zones for collecting disenchantable gear include:

  1. Scarlet Monastery
  2. Zul'Farrak
  3. Blackrock Depths

Crafting Enchants

Use the materials you've obtained to craft enchants. Focus on enchants that are the cheapest to make and give the most skill ups. For example:

  1. 1-75: Enchant Bracer - Minor Health
  2. 75-150: Enchant Bracer - Minor Stamina or Disenchanting more gear
  3. 150-225: Enchant Cloak - Greater Defense
  4. 225-300: Enchant Gloves - Riding Skill or Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina

Best Practices for Efficient Leveling

Pair With Tailoring

Enchanting synergizes perfectly with Tailoring, since Tailoring doesn’t require a gathering profession and allows you to craft gear that can be disenchanted directly. This can significantly reduce costs while leveling Enchanting.

Save Rare Materials

Essences and shards can become expensive or hard to find. Always check the Auction House before using rare materials and consider whether the enchant is worth the cost.

Offer Enchanting Services

Use trade chat or the LookingForGroup channel to offer your services. You'll gain skill-ups and build a customer base at the same time. Tips from happy players can help cover your material costs.

Conclusion

Enchanting in WoW Classic is a highly rewarding profession with a lot to offer both solo players and group-focused adventurers. Whether adding key stat bonuses to your own gear or providing powerful enhancements to allies, mastering the art of Enchanting is a valuable path to take.
