WoW TBC Classic Enchanting Guide

In World of Warcraft, enchanting is a primary profession that allows players to enhance their weapons and several armor pieces, including gloves, bracers, chest, cloak, boots, shield, and, exclusively in The Burning Crusade, rings. In other words, the enchanter holds the ability to add a permanent buff to his or other player's gear. Enchanting is pivotal for PvE and PvP in The Burning Crusade Classic's gameplay and equally helpful for leveling up, as it enhances the character’s stats. To use the ability, the player needs to have an Enchanted Rod and respective materials for enchanting.

The materials used in this profession take the form of dust, shards, and essences. Enchanters obtain these raw materials by using the side ability of Disenchanting, which extracts materials from armor and weapons of Uncommon, Rare, and Epic quality. The type of material is determined by the item level of the disenchanted gear. This way, the enchanter can purposefully gather specific raw materials and later use them to create more enchantments.

The Enchanter creates the Enchanted Rod by combining these raw materials and a particular metal rod forged by the Blacksmithing profession. To use the ability, the enchanter has to carry the Enchanted Rod in his inventory. The enchanter needs to periodically upgrade the Enchanted Rod to obtain advanced materials and create better enchantments as the skill goes up. The same scaling imposed on Enchanted Rod is also inflicted upon the ability of Disenchant, meaning that low-skilled enchanter cannot disenchant gear of high item level.

Tip: Enchanting benefits from being paired with Tailoring because it crafts gear items that can be disenchanted. Tailoring does not require any gathering professions, as it relies only on cloth, which can be looted from any humanoid mobs. Because of this, Tailoring and Enchanting are the perfect professions to take together.

Apart from being a valuable upgrade to the player’s gear, enchanting can also be very profitable. To be successful in battlegrounds and boss raiding, all players seek enchantments, which makes the service of enchanters to be of high demand in The Burning Crusade Classic. Another way to acquire gold via enchantment is by selling the excess materials in the Auction House.

Now that we have an understanding of what enchanting is let’s begin the guide.

The minimum requirement for picking up this profession is to have a level 5 character and ten copper coins. The Enchanting trainers, who are in all main cities of the Azeroth, include:

Horde

●Jhag in Orgrimmar

●Malcomb Wynn in Undercity

●Mot Dawnstrider in Thunder Bluff

●Vance Undergloom in Tirisfal Glades at Brill

●Sedana in Silvermoon City

Alliance

● Betty Quin in Stormwind City

● Thonys Pillarstone in Ironforge

● Lalina Summermoon in Darnassus

● Alanna Raveneye in Teldrassil

● Nahogg in The Exodar

Tip: Blood elves are the most suitable race for this profession as they have +10 to Enchanting due to their passive ability Arcane Affinity. These 10 points to Enchanting mean that recipes stay orange for ten extra skill points and are more likely to give you skill although being lower level recipe, which can be very helpful, for the lower level the recipe is, the less material it requires.

1 – 75 Apprentice Enchanter (required level 5)

Materials used for this skill level:

●Strange Dust

●Lesser Magic Essence

These materials come from disenchanting gear and weapons of 10 to 20 item level.

After learning the profession from Enchanting trainer, the player can purchase Copper Rod from Trade Supplies or Enchanting Supplies located in the same area as the trainer. This rod requires modification through Enchanting, using a Copper Rod, Strange Dust, and Lesser Magic Essence to create the Runed Copper Rod.

With the Runed Copper Rod in your inventory, you can create the following enchantments:

● Enchant Bracer - Minor Health (requires 1 Strange Dust)

Tip: First fifty skills of Enchanting can be acquired purely through the ability of Disenchant. When your Enchanting reaches the skill of 50, the ability of Disenchant can no longer grant any skill points towards Enchanting.

That is why we highly recommend attaining the first fifty points via Disenchant and then gaining the rest of the points from using the materials earned by disenchanting items (Of course, you can get cheap WoW TBC Items here at our store).

75 – 150 Journeyman Enchanter (required level 10, required minimum skill of 50)

Combining all the ingredients, you will receive a Runed Truesilver Rod.

●Arcanite Rod forged by Blacksmithing

●10 Illusion Dust,

300 – 375 Master Enchanter (required level 50, required minimum skill of 275)

It is necessary to remember that most of the Enchantment Formulas in The Burning Crusade expansion is obtained through reaching Honored or advanced rank of reputation with Outland factions. These recipes can also be attained from dungeon and raid instances.

(requires 15 Arcane Dust) and Formula: Superior Wizard Oil (requires 3 Arcane Dust, 1 Nightmare Vine, and 1 Imbued Vial).

These formulas should provide you with enough skill to be able to learn Formula: Runed Adamantite Rod. Horde players can obtain this formula from Rungor in Stonebreaker in Terokkar Forest, and Alliance players need to stop by Vodesiin at the Temple of Telhamat in Hellfire Peninsula. To create Runed Adamantite Rod, you need to gather Adamantite Rod from Blacksmither, 8 Greater Planar Essences, 8 Large Prismatic Shards, 1 Primal Might, and Runed Fel Iron Rod. This is the final upgrade of the enchanter's rod.
