World of Warcraft at Ten Ton Hammer

So you’ve decided to level Enchanting. Be forewarned that Enchanting is probably one of the most costly professions currently in World of Warcraft, however once you hit max level the profits can prove to be even greater. We at Ten Ton Hammer have compiled the following information for the best way to level Enchanting to help minimize the time, effort, and cost that you need to spend along the way.

We’ve found the recipes with the least amount of required materials, and used as many Trainer purchased formulas as possible. As mentioned above. Enchanting is still, really expensive to level, even with a guide like this. You can easily spend several thousand gold to reach max level, so be certain that this really is the profession for you before you begin.

If you are still interested in leveling Enchanting, dig deep into your gold bags and let’s get started.

To begin your Enchanting adventure you will need to head on over to your local friendly Enchanting trainer. Enchanting trainers can be found in almost all major cities and can easily be located by simply speaking to one of the guards. To see a list with the locations of the various enchanting trainers including their various skill ranks and required levels please visit this page.

Once you find your trainer proceed to train “Apprentice Enchanting” and then open your Enchanting icon that can be found in your Spellbook. Here you can see all the new spells that you have learned. To begin you will have Enchant Bracer - Minor Deflection, Enchant Bracer - Minor Health, and Runed Copper Rod. When you first learn Enchanting you will also gain the ability to Disenchant items (green quality or better). At very low levels Disenchanting can even help level your Enchanting skill. To learn more about Disenchanting visit this page.

Throughout this guide you will find that rods will be required for your enchants. At higher levels these rods can become quite costly. As you make each new rod the old one will be used in the process and the new rod will be used for all your old enchants that require lower level rods. All of the rods you need (except for the Copper Rod which is purchased from your Enchanting Supply vendor) can be made by Blacksmiths, however they can also usually be found on the Auction House if no Blacksmith is available to you.

Players who choose to be Blood Elves have a distinct advantage over other races that choose to level Enchanting. Blood Elves possess the Arcane Affinity passive racial ability which adds a ten point skill bonus to their Enchanting skill (this also raises the cap by 10 at each level of enchanting). With this bonus, players who are Blood Elves will find themselves able to get new Enchants sooner, and will be able quickly progress (and even skip) through some of the steps in this guide.  As such Blood Elves will have a much easier (and less costly) time while leveling the Enchanting skill.

These first few levels will come easily. As mentioned before you may choose to disenchant uncommon or higher quality items to help you gain skill points instead of the steps below, however after skill level 50 you will find that the skill points from Disenchanting come too slowly to be beneficial. Keep in mind that all amounts listed are estimates, you may need more or less depending on how many enchants it actually takes you to reach the next skill level. Put these low level enchants on your own items repeatedly or offer to do them for free for others.
