Now i know most of you think : why would i pick up enchanting to get money? it only costs money?
Well you couldnt be more WRONG.
I picked up enchanting 2 months ago, powerlevelled it to 375 in 5 days (soloed lowbie instances like Deadmines, SFK, SM, Uldaman, ZF, etc.) , though it still cost me around 900g overall (i'm a lazy git, what do you expect when you play World of Warcraft for so long).
The part most of you might stuggle with , is levelling enchanting.
For me, it was pretty easy. I just went to AH, bought the lower level items for which the enchants were (e.g. bracers, shield, boots) and enchanted those over & over again till i could learn new enchanting formulas. Of course when someone said in [2. Trade] " need this enchant" , i'ld jump on it & make sure i'ld get the skill from it before someone else!
Levelling enchanting from 1 to 300 Guide
I know you still wont have made any money (except for those 2-3 random enchants) , but we are getting there!
Once you reach 300, you'll have a load of mats you cant use to skill up further, like Illusion Dust, Large Brilliant shards, and others.
Put these mats on AH and you'll earn some of your money back.
Then start levelling to 350 as fast as you can ( using this guide ) , once you've reached 350, the fun begins.
First of all, go get this formula to make some very nice profits.
"But it requires alot of arcane dust" , you say? I know, and that's why i'll tell you an easy trick to get arcane dust, not involving much farming (unless you're a big fan of it).
Netherweave cloth if one of the most common drops in Outlands. Useless if you're not into tailoring or first aid? WRONG again!
Grind/buy as much cloth as you can (lets say 25 stacks) and -if you're a tailor yourself , or get a guildie to do it - turn it into Bolt of Netherweave.
These cant be disenchanted Pengo!
- I know! BUT.....!
Ask your tailoring friend to use the bolts to make Netherweave belts / Netherweave Bracers for you. Then start disenchanting those, and collect some nice Arcane Dust.
You will also get Lesser Planar Essences, which you can turn into Greater Planar Essences . These go on the Auction House for 5g or more (depending on your server).
I used tailoring in this example, but this can be done with any crafting profession (tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking, etc.)
All you need are items between level 60 & 65-66, which NORMALLY give you 2-5 arcane dust per piece.
When you have about 60 arcane dust, start offering to sell the enchant for 25-30g with your mats, or 2-5g fee with their mats. This is 1 of the most popular enchants , next to +12 Agility on boots & + 150 HP on chest. (Besides the ones from Karazhan)
You can also, as a level 70, still run the level 55-60 instances, disenchant those greens (for greater eternal essence) and the blues (for large brilliant shards, and if you're lucky a nexus crystal) , because these are ALWAYS in demand.
