World of Warcraft Enchanting

In this brief guide you will learn about the World of Warcraft Primary Service Profession of Enchanting. I will also give you some helpful tips that will show you how to better utilize this profession. You will find out some secrets that will help to make Enchanting more efficient for you. You will also learn how you can earn money with Enchanting in World of Warcraft.

Being a Primary Service Profession, Enchanting does count towards your limit of two Primary Professions. Enchanting gives you the ability to enchant weapons and armor allowing you to permanently enhance them. This does not involve the creation of new items. In order to make items that are enchanted you first require items that are not enchanted. It is also necessary to disenchant magical items so that you can acquire the reagents that are needed to enchant other items. Enchanting can also be used to create oils that can be applied to a weapon in order to fill it with temporary enhancements that can be combined along with permanent enchantments for a greater effect.

Because disenchanting requires the destruction of the original magical item, this makes Enchanting a greater consumer of resources than any of the other World of Warcraft Professions. This is especially so due to the fact that the bi-products such as shards, essences, and dust that you receive from the disenchanted items cannot be sold to vendors. You can, however, sell them to your fellow WoW players as well as offer them your services in exchange for payment.

When you are just starting out it is good practice to enchant all of the grey items that you find along the way. If you have no need of particular reagents, enchant and then sell the items to a vendor for profit.

The following are some helpful tips to make Enchanting more enjoyable.

A good way to keep stocked up on needed reagents is to farm instances. This will keep you supplied with items to disenchant giving you a steady supply of reagents.

Do not destroy reagents that you do not need. Use them to offer enchantments to lower level players. This is an excellent way to build a strong customer base.

Always give a price upfront for what you want to be paid for the enchantment. Don't waste your time haggling over a price. You will be more successful if you stick with a firm yet fair price. This will help you to have a higher number of repeat customers.

Make sure that your client has the reagent needed for the requested enchantment. If they don't have the required reagent but you happen to have it on hand yourself, then factor that into the overall price that you are charging for the enchantment. Another thing to keep in mind is that you don't want to have an asking price that is so unreasonably high that it will scare the client off. Be reasonable with your rates.

It is a good idea to advertise your Enchanting services in your capital town.
Finally, investing in a large amount of storage space is a good idea because of the large amount of items required for Enchanting.
