This Enchanting leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Enchanting skill up from 1 to 300 as inexpensively as possible.
Professions skills are split between expansions now, you'll have a separate skill bar for each expansion. This guide is for the "Vanilla" Enchanting skill in the current retail version of World of Warcraft. I have a separate guide for Classic WoW, so if you are looking for that, visit my Classic WoW Enchanting Leveling Guide.
Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Enchanting.
If you are still leveling your character, I recommend trying Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide to help you get to max level faster. And if you are low on gold, you can also try his Gold Making Guide.

This guide is for the "Vanilla" Enchanting skill in Shadowlands.
Learning Enchanting
Walk up to a guard in any of these major cities below and ask where the Enchanting trainer is located.
Horde: Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Silvermoon City, Undercity
Alliance: Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, The Exodar
After you ask the guard, the trainer will be marked with a red flag on your map.
1 - 110
Blood Elf characters have +10 Enchanting skill because of their passive [Arcane Affinity]. An extra 10 Enchanting skill means recipes stay orange for 10 more points, so you can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for 10 more points.
You can put enchants on an [Enchanting Vellum] if you can't put it on your own armor because it's too high level. Enchanting Vellum is sold by General Goods vendors or Enchanting Supply vendors near your trainer.
- 1-2
1 x [Runed Copper Rod] - 1 Copper Rod, 1 Strange Dust, 1 Lesser Magic EssenceYou can buy the
[Copper Rod] from the Enchanting supply vendor near your trainer.
- 2-90
105 x [Enchant Bracer: Minor Health] - 105 Strange DustThis recipe will be yellow for the last 20 points, so you might have to craft a few more.
- 90-100
10 x [Enchant Bracer: Minor Stamina] - 30 Strange DustIf the Strange Dust is cheap and the Greater Magic Essence is too expensive on your realm, you can make this Enchant up to 120.
- 100-110
10 x [Greater Magic Wand] - 10 Simple Wood, 10 Greater Magic EssenceYou can buy Simple Wood from Enchanting Supply vendors near your trainer, or any Generals Goods vendor.
110 - 225
- 110-135
Go to Stonetalon Mountains if you are a Horde player and find Kulwia. Alliance players go to Ashenvale and find Dalria.After you found the NPC, buy these two recipes:
[Formula: Enchant Bracer - Lesser Strength] and
[Formula: Enchant Cloak - Minor Agility]
These are limited supply recipes. If someone bought them before you, then you have to wait for it to respawn. I'm not sure about the exact respawn timer, but it's between 30-50 min.
25 x [Enchant Cloak: Minor Agility] - 25 Lesser Eternal Essence
- 135-155
20 x [Enchant Bracer - Lesser Stamina] - 40 Light Illusion Dust
- 155-180
40 x [Enchant Bracer - Lesser Strength] - 80 Light Illusion DustRead the 110-135 part if you started the guide from this point. There is a location listed there for this recipe.
This one turns yellow at 165. However, if 2 Light Illusion Dust is a lot cheaper than 4 Lesser Eternal Essence, keep making these until 185. If it's not then at 165 switch to:
- 165-180 15 x [Enchant Bracers: Versatility ] - 60 Lesser Eternal Essence
- 180-220
50 x [Enchant Bracer: Strength] - 50 Light Illusion DustThis recipe will be yellow for the last few points, so you might have to craft more than 50.
- 220-225
5 x [Enchant Cloak: Greater Defense] - 10 Rich Illusion Dust
225 - 300
- 225-235
10 x [Enchant Boots - Stamina] - 20 Rich Illusion DustIf you have a lot of extra Greater Eternal Essence, you can craft [Enchant Gloves: Agility].
- 235-245
10 x [Enchant Chest: Superior Health] - 20 Rich Illusion DustYellow for the last 5 points, so you might have to craft more than 10.
- 245-255
10 x [Enchant Boots - Agility] - 20 Greater Eternal EssenceTry to hunt for [Formula: Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina] at the Auction House. It's a random world drop, but this recipe is the best to level Enchanting from 245 to 265. The recipe is called Enchant Bracer Greater Stamina, not Boots.
- 255-260
5 x [Enchant Bracer - Greater Strength] - 10 Greater Eternal Essence, 10 Rich Illusion Dust
- 260-265
5 x [Enchant Bracer - Greater Intellect] - 15 Greater Eternal Essence
- 265-300
40 x [Enchant Shield: Greater Stamina] - 160 Rich Illusion DustThe recipe is sold by Daniel Bartlett (Horde) at Undercity, and by Mythrin'dir (Alliance) at Darnassus.
IMPORTANT! The recipe binds when picked up! Don't make the mistake of trying to buy it with an alt and mail it. It's also a limited supply item, this means you have to wait if someone bought it before you.
I hope you liked this Enchanting leveling guide, congratulations on reaching 300!
