TWW Enchanting Specialization Guide (The War Within)

This guide is here to help you navigate the different Enchanting specializations in War Within, so you can make the most out of Enchanting.

War Within introduces four new Enchanting specializations, unlocked at levels 25, 50, 60, and 75. Each one offers unique perks that can significantly impact how you approach Enchanting.

I'll break down each specialization, show you the best ways to spend your points, and highlight which paths might not be worth your time. By the end, you'll have a few example builds to jumpstart your own talent choices.

#Supplementary Shattering

The Supplementary Shattering specialization focuses on boosting your Ingenuity, Multicraft, and Resourcefulness. However, since it doesn't offer any direct skill bonuses, it's best to hold off on investing points here until you've fully developed your other specializations. Once your main build is maxed out, you can focus on this specialization to fine-tune and optimize your overall setup.

Upon unlocking the specialization, you'll gain access to the Shatter Essence ability. This buff boosts your Ingenuity, Multicraft, and Resourcefulness for 15 minutes, but the benefits are directly tied to how many points you've invested in the Shatter Essence specializations. Without investing points, this recipe won't have any effect.

Investing points into the center node will give you more more Ingenuity, Multicraft, and Resourcefulness, and your Ingenuity will refund additional Concentration, with a 100% refund when fully maxed out.

Sub-specialization

Each sub-specialization is straightforward, you get even more Ingenuity, Multicraft, or Resourcefulness.

#Designated Disenchanter

One major change in War Within is that enchanting materials now come with quality levels, similar to Herbs and Ores. The Designated Disenchanter specialization is exactly what it sounds like—a focus on disenchanting to get higher quality enchanting materials.

This specialization will help you get a lot more Q3 enchanting materials.

The three sub-specializations are centered around different armor rarities: Uncommon, Rare, and Epic.

#Everlasting Enchantments

This is the specialization where you will find all the new War Within enchants.

There are three main enchant categories: Earthen Enhancements, Arathor Alterations, and Nerubian Novelties. It can be a bit tricky to navigate the profession UI since enchants are sorted by slot type rather than category. To make it easier, I've put together a table below to help you decide which specialization to focus on.

The lower level enchants are not on this list because you basically don't need anyting special to get them to max quality, they require very low skill.

#Ephemerals, Enrichments, and Equipment

This specialization focuses on temporary illusions, equipment, reagents, and mana oils. Below is a complete list of items you can focus on within this specialization.

Mana Oils

Gleeful Glamours are consumable items that transform you into another race, such as the Gleeful Glamour - Worgen, which changes you into a Worgen. There is a lot of these, one for each race.

The 4 shoulder illusions also fit into this category: Illusory Adornment: Runes, Illusory Adornment: Shadow, Illusory Adornment: Crystal, Illusory Adornment: Radiance

Finishing Reagents

Mirror Powder - Multicraft

Choosing a Specialization Build

Below are some builds tailored to common playstyles. Pick one that fits your playstyle the most then feel free to adjust it to better fit your preferences.

The numbers below aren't a ranking of how good each build is; they're just there to help you navigate the guide more easily.

1. Designated Disenchanter

This is the simplest enchanting build, and it's pretty straightforward. The focus of this build is getting higher quality items from Disenchanting. It's perfect for players who keep enchanting as a side profession for some easy, passive income.

2. Crafting High Quality Enchants

If your goal is to produce and sell large quantities of Enchants at the Auction House, or if you just want to craft high-quality enchants for yourself or your alts, then this build is perfect for you.

3. Selling temporary illusions, reagents, equipment and mana oils

This build is ideal for players looking to sell items on the Auction House but who prefer to focus on a less competitive market. These items tend to have lower demand than enchants, making this a bit riskier. I'd recommend this build to more experienced players. If you're new to making gold, it's probably safer to stick to crafting enchants.

You might also choose this build if you want to craft wands or profession equipment for others through the Personal Crafting Order system.

Build 1. Designated Disenchanter

If you're focusing on Disenchanting, your choice of sub-specialization should align with the types of content you frequently engage in. If you seldom encounter content that yields epic items, it's wise not to focus on that category initially. Instead, invest your points into Uncommon Utilitarian and Rare Resourcing first. However, if you're primarily running Mythic Plus dungeons where most loot is epic, then putting your points into Epic Escalations would be more beneficial.

Start by putting 10 points into Designated Disenchanter. After that, max out the sub-specialization that aligns with what you expect to disenchant the most. For example, if you run a lot of Mythic and Mythic Plus dungeons, I'd definitely recommend focusing on the Epic sub-specialization first.

If you engage in a balanced mix of content, you can max out Designated Disenchanter (30) first, and then start investing points into the sub-specializations.

Build 2. Crafting High Quality Enchants

This build focuses on crafting high-quality enchants. All talents that provide +skill to enchants are within the Everlasting Enchantments specialization, so there's no need to branch out into other trees.

Choosing an Enchant Tree to Focus on

It's tough to say which enchants will be the most profitable, but each of the three sub-specializations can craft at least one best-in-slot enchant for an armor slot, so you can't really go wrong with any of them.

I recommend scrolling back through the guide to check out the table with all the available high-end enchants, then pick the one that appeals to you.

Two Example builds

Below, you can find two example builds, I would recommend the first build for most people. However, if you're a dedicated crafter aiming for best results, the second build might be better for you.

Focusing on getting More recipes: This build prioritizes unlocking more enchanting recipes first, giving you a broader range of options before honing in on maxing out specific enchants.
Max Quality Enchant Focus: This build is all about maxing out one enchant tree to achieve the highest quality possible without using Concentration.

Example Build 1: Focusing on getting More recipes

If you're not too concerned about getting guaranteed Q3 recipes early and just want to unlock every available enchanting recipe in this specialization, your build would look like this:

Everlasting Enchantments (5) - to unlock the sub-specialization.
Pick any of the 3 sub-specialization, then put 20 points into it.
Everlasting Enchantments (+10) - Put ten more points into this specialization unlock the sub-specialization at 15.
Pick any of the 2 sub-specialization, then put 20 points into it.
Everlasting Enchantments (+15) - Fifteen more points to max out the at 30.
Pick the last sub-specialization, then put 20 points into it.

You will learn 7 new enchanting recipes for a total of 90 Knowledge points.

Example Build 2: Max Quality Enchant Focus

Let's say you want to focus on Nerubian Bracer enchants. Your build would look like this:

Everlasting Enchantments (5) - to unlock the sub-specialization.
Nerubian Novelties (10) - to unlock the two sub-specialization.
Pick Tertiary Trivialities. Make sure to read the description carefully so you pick the right one, as the names can be a bit confusing. The description will specify what the sub-spec is for. For example, if it says "Polish your skills surrounding Nerubian Bracer and Cloak formulas," then that's what this sub-spec focuses on.
Tertiary Trivialities (20)
Nerubian Novelties (+10) - Ten more points to max it out at 20.
Everlasting Enchantments (+25) - Twenty-five more points to max out the at 30.

Every other tree in the specialization works similarly. You'll need a total of 70 Knowledge points to max out any enchant.

Now, you just need to get the three blue profession tools, level your enchanting to 100, and you're set! You'll be able to craft Nerubian Bracer enchants without relying on Concentration. Just remember, you'll need all Q3 materials to do it.

Spending the Rest of Your Points

At this stage, you can either focus on maxing out each sub-specialization or start investing points into the Supplementary Shattering specialization to further optimize your build.

Keep in mind that enchants don't benefit from the multicraft stat. So, you should focus on Resourcefulness and Ingenuity.

Build 3. Selling illusions, reagents, equipment and mana oils

This build is more of an experiment. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't have as much potential as focusing on straight Enchanting, but there could still be some gold-making opportunities in these markets as well.
