Brief Introduction of Enchanting in World of Warcraft

Enchanting in WoW is a primary profession in which characters may enchant gear and craft a variety of items with useful effects. Enchanting is used to augment the stats of gear, such as more strength, intellect, resistance to a particular branch of magic; increased spell damage or healing; increased speed, or a variety of other effects. Enchanters also create specialty use items, such as wizard oil and trade goods.

Therefore, enchanting is one of those money making and saving chances that can truly help you out in the long run if you have the time to devote. As a primary service profession, it counts towards your limit of two, but with the right class and race, it can be ideal for your game success.

Enchanting gives you the ability to enchant weapons and armor allowing you to permanently enhance them. You can also take apart existing enchanted items to gain the reagents in them for crafting new enchanted items. 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. You can also take apart existing enchanted items to gain the reagents in them for crafting new enchanted items.

Though you can create great new weapons with enchantment, disenchanting will actually destroy many more items than any other professions in the game. You should note that many of the bi-products you receive from deconstructing items cannot be resold. You can sell them to other players or sell your services though, one of the prime ways of making wow gold through enchanting.

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.

In the beginning, building up your enchanting skill is best done through gray items and simple enchantments. Sell the items back to vendors for a small profit and build your skill level up. Once you've been enchanting for a while, start using instances and higher level arenas to farm reagents and items for disenchanting. You'll build levels, gold, and items for enchantment in this manner.

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.

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.
