Okay, okay, I’m tired of shelling out so much money for crafting Imbued Netherweave Bags. They require 8 Arcane Dusts each, which comes out to 15-20g per bag on my server. Greens drop on a regular basis in Outlands, and I don’t think getting through to the enchanting trainer in Uldaman. Actually, does anyone know if it is even necessary to go there since there is a Master Enchanting Trainer in Shattrath City?
Mining is all and good, but you have to farm for spawns of oreย and I’d have to go out and finish up my last 29 points until I can start mining where I’m playing. Greens are everywhere when you kill and you can get them on the AH and as quest rewards that aren’t any good. I’ve got a chest, belt, and 2 pair of boots that I don’t really want to use, plus a bunch of weapons that aren’t going to match my dagger and wand combo right now. I might as well do something with them.
What do you say? Tailor/Enchanting with Aldor combo?
Well if you are doing it to just disenchant then then i could see that working but from what i understand Enchanting is one of the more expensive profs. in WoW.
Personally, I just have an enchanter friend I mail stuff to to get DEd, and he mails me back the dusts or whatever. I’m a tailor, so that keeps me well in Arcane Dust, and whatever other essences and shards I get back I tend to just sell (although really I ought to be keeping them to get some enchants of my own).
That is starting to sound like, heck yeah…if I level it by DEing and want to use it for enchanting my own stuff.
I’m sure not making any money selling ore right now.
You can’t level enchanting by DEing beyond like 50 anymore though, and many of the highend things require you to have quite a level in enchanting so you can DE them in the first place. So you can’t just have enchanting for DEing stuff, you really have to enchant too, and that’s expensive to level…
It’s rewarding too though, I love my enchanting warlock ๐
Welcome, Guido. I didn’t realize that it actually tops off for good around 50. I thought that was a temporary hold until you got higher level stuff to DE. Good information.
Since I have the money and I will get a good return on essences, I’m still thinking I’ll drop mining tonight based on the positives of Enchanting.
You can always make runs into lower instances for greens an blues to DE for mats. I doo that sometimes to fill out my enchanter for some levelin. Hell its almost time to take her to 35 so i can level her up the last bit to DE things over 63. Shes got about a dozen things she cant DE sitting in the bank.
Just remember that you need a certain enchanting level to DE the higher level items. I believe it’s about 225 or higher to DE Outland greens.
So it might be a large investment just to get enchanting up there. I would just sell the greens and use that money to buy dust. Or find a friendly enchanter.
To be honest, which you all know I am (as far as you know), I think Deadr would be the perfect toon to level Enchanting with because of the bonuses to items that I’d like since he doesn’t get the best of the best raiding gear.
Shoot…I leveled Tailoring to 300 in 3 hours and spent 200 some-odd gold doing it.
I’ve never done Enchanting past 125 or so. Do any of you have professions you always give up on?
I’ve come close to giving up on Enchanting many times. Cost to reward to amount of mooches (friends and other cheapskates) who expect you to do top end enchants for them because I’m an enchanter. Shortly after the Ulda stage it got alot harder to level with most recipes requiring regular ench mats plus a squirrel’s left nut/a monkey’s buttered nipple (hard to find mats). So I let it stagnate for the longest time and just used it for d/e’ing and doing recipes I knew for ppl who had mats.
While it’s very nice to be able to d/e my own stuff and give that 1 character enchants and other char’s ench’s on BOE gear for me personally it’s the least “fun” profession. I’d probably much rather do as others do to me and just have someone d/e stuff for me.
But with that rant out of the way my advice would be:
– use a freind to d/e for you if possible,
– use an alt and level them up to the point where they can d/e for you,
– if you do drop mining for ench, you have imo the perfect complimentary proff for enchanting, Tailoring. Especially at the lower lvls of ench’ing making green cloth armor thru tailoring and then d/e’ing helped me a great deal.
Good luck ๐
I have a 63 rogue with tailor (340) and enchant (304) and it works pretty good. You need about 225 skill to DE in outlands and have had some things that require 250 and 275.
If you do switch to enchanting talk to your guild mates and have them send you magic items that dont sell to DE. I have about 8 regulars in my guild that do that and I get lots of mats. I do provide many mats for enchants for these select few since they are sending items and only require that they purchase their own Shards for enchanting should they be needed. Unless one of their items DE’d to a shard then I keep track of who has what in my “mats vaults”.
I do have to agree tho that i picked two profs that can be quite costly. I have yet to break the 300G mark because of having to purchase recipes and enchants and DE’ing most of the magic items i get from drops while others get the chance to sell theirs is sometimes frustrating, but I will live. ๐
