Economical enchanting training This is a guide on how to train Enchanting economically . As this is intended to save you money , buy only the materials you are sure you will need . If you run out , buy more . Avoid having extras , but if you do , try to sell them back on the Auction House . Because Magic Essences ( e . g . and ) can be freely changed between their lesser and greater forms , section totals will be in lesser forms . Step totals , however , will show whichever form is needed to complete the step . The rods made by Blacksmiths can be very expensive on the Auction House ; it will save you time and money to find a Blacksmith to make all the rods at once . The best source of materials is from your own disenchanting . Higher level characters have a much easier time of obtaining materials by farming instance s of significantly lower levels . For example , a level 70 character can easily farm Shadowfang Keep for uncommon quality items of low level in order to obtain Soul Dust and Lesser Magic Essence . Similarly , tailors can create low - level cloth items fairly readily in order to disenchant them for materials . See the Disenchanting tables for a list of what items can be used for your raw materials . NOTE : Check the Auction House for items for Disenchanting as well as dusts , essences , and shards . It may be less expensive to purchase low - level green gear than to purchase stacks of materials . Apprentice . Apprentice Enchanting allows 75 maximum skill , requires level 5 . Apprentice Enchanting Totals Journeyman . Journeyman Enchanting allows 150 maximum skill , requires level 10 and 50 skill . Journeyman Enchanting Totals Expert . Expert Enchanting allows 225 maximum skill , requires level 20 and 125 skill . Expert Enchanting Totals Artisan . Artisan Enchanting allows 300 maximum skill , requires level 35 and 200 skill in the profession . The Formula : Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina might be somewhat rare on the AH since the Burning Crusade expansion came out , so you can continue doing Enchant Cloak - Lesser Agility for 246 - 250 . It may not give a skill - up every cast , but 6 - 7 sets of mats should get you the 5 levels needed , for cheaper than the recipe and mats . The Lesser Mana Oil and Wizard Oil can be a very cheap way to get from 250 - 300 in Enchanting if you can find pre - BC mats being sold for low prices on the AH on your server . Both formulas are sold by Kania at Cenarion Hold in Silithus . If you have the Recipe : Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina , though , you may consider using this enchantment to get 245 - 285 as you may not get skill - ups from the Lesser Mana Oil all the time . You may also craft the Wizard Oil for 295 - 299 . Enchant Chest - Major Health is a very cheap way of getting from 275 to 300 . Small Brilliant Shard is Disenchanted from Blackrock Depths gear , and other level 42 - 52 dungeons . Artisan Enchanting Totals A cheaper alternative is to use Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina ( 10 Dream Dust ) to level from 265 - 299 and finish to 300 with the Runed Arcanite Rod . Master . Master Enchanting allows 375 maximum skill , requires level 50 . ( Note that as a Blood Elf , conversion between Large Prismatic Shard s and Small Prismatic Shard s becomes possible at 335 and can be used for free skillups until 345 just by converting back and forth . ) Master Enchanting Totals
