WoW Enchanting Guide 1-375

yeahjustin

Leveling Enchanting is generally accepted to be one of the more difficult tradeskill tasks in World of Warcraft. This guide is intended to help you make sense of the process and know in advance what you are going to need to succeed.
You gain skill points in Enchanting from two different things:
Disenchanting a green, blue, or purple item, and Enchanting your armor with the Enchants that you have learned. When you Disenchant an item it destroy that item and give you some kind of enchanting reagent.
This is just a nice quick overview to increase your enchanting skill. For an in-depth guide that also includes gold making as well, take a look at this WoW profession guide.
The reagent Disenchanting yields is dependent on the level and quality of the item being disenchanted.
Green Items typically only disenchant into the following. Occasionally they will yield a shard but its unlikely and shouldn't be counted on.
Blue items are more likely to disenchant into a shard but they are not commonly found in the world and are typically better off sold on the auction house or worn. Epic quality items will not be considered in this guide, as it is unlikely you will disenchant any of those to level.
*Note: The level requirement indications on these are not YOUR level, they are the item level of the item you are disenchanting.
Dusts and Essences
Levels 1-10: A small amount (1-3) of strange dust or a lesser magic essence.
Levels 11-15: A large amount of strange (4-5) dust or a greater magic essence.
Levels 16-20: A large amount of strange dust or a lesser astral essence.
Levels 21-25: A small amount of soul dust or a greater astral essence.

Levels 31-35: A small amount of vision dust or a greater mystic essence.

Shards
Levels 1-20: A small glimmering shard.
Levels 21-25: A large glimmering shard.
Levels 26-30: A small glowing shard.
Levels 31-35: A large glowing shard.
Levels 36-40: A small radiant shard.
Levels 41-45: A large radiant shard.
Levels 46-50: A small brilliant shard.

This guide will primarily focus on how much of each enchanting reagent you will need at every stage of enchanting to level it all the way up. The recipes required are ones that are trained from the enchanting trainer OR sold on a vendor.
As often as possible shards will not be used as they are much harder to come by. How you aquire items to disenchant is completely up to you. You will find them as quest rewards and as random drops. If you have a lot of gold you can buy them off the auction house.

Enchanting Leveling Tactics
What follows is the fastest tactic for leveling enchanting. It assumes that you already have all the required enchanting materials. If you're leveling enchanting while you're leveling up your character, however, obviously you aren't going to have all the required materials.
Don't worry, just disenchant the items you find and when you have a stockpile of enchanting materials, reference the guide for how best to use them to maximize your enchanting leveling.
Disenchanting the items will give you skill points as well! Below the Leveling Tactics guide you will find a list of enchanting vendors and trainers where you will learn the required recipes. Enchants marked with a * need to be purchased from a vendor.
1-50 - Disenchanting green quality items (save all your dusts/essences!)
At level 50 train all new available recipes and learn Journeyman Enchanting. Buy a Copper Rod from a Trade Goods Vendor and make a Runed Copper Rod. You will need to go back to the enchanting trainer often to learn new available recipes.
