This guide covers all of Midnight Enchanting. You'll find every weekly and one-time Knowledge source, profession equipment, renown-gated recipes, and full recipe lists for weapon, armor, ring, helm, shoulder, and tool enchants, plus oils, wands, and house decor.
Enchanting in Midnight works similarly to The War Within, but there are some new enchant slots (helm, shoulders) and the quality system got simplified. The recipes are split between trainers, vendors in different zones, and dungeon drops.
Midnight Enchanting Changes
These are the notable Enchanting changes in the Midnight expansion. If you played an Enchanter in The War Within, you'll adapt quickly since most systems work the same way.
-
Artisan Enchanter's Moxie: The BoP currency
Artisan's Acuity from The War Within has been changed to a profession-specific currency,
Artisan Enchanter's Moxie. You can now only use it for Enchanting recipes, not other professions. -
No More Bronze Quality: Bronze-quality enchants and reagents no longer exist. All consumables and reagents now only have two quality levels: Silver and Gold. You'll always get at least Silver quality, and Concentration guarantees Gold.
-
New Enchant Slots: Midnight introduces new enchant slots for Helm and Shoulder armor in addition to the existing ones.
-
Cloak & Bracer Enchants Removed: There are no Cloak or Bracer enchants in Midnight. These slots have been dropped entirely.
-
Epic Profession Accessories: The War Within already had an Epic enchanting rod, but Midnight adds Epic-quality accessories too. They give the same Skill as Rare, but have higher secondary stats.
-
Shattering Available From Day 1 - In The War Within, shattering recipes (Dawn Shatter, Radiant Shatter) were locked behind later patches, which made Enchanting dust extremely expensive at launch. In Midnight, shattering is available right away, so dust prices should be much more reasonable from the start.
Weekly Enchanting Knowledge in Midnight
In Midnight, there are five weekly sources of Enchanting knowledge. Enchanters don't have the Crafting Orders quest that other professions get. Instead, you earn extra knowledge from Disenchanting drops.
| Source | Details |
|---|---|
| Weekly Quest (3 KP) | Your Enchanting trainer will offer a weekly quest that rewards a |
| Weekly Drops (4 KP) | Each week, you can loot 1 of each of the following items from treasures scattered around the new zones: |
| Disenchanting Drops (~9 KP) | Instead of the Crafting Orders weekly quest, Enchanters earn knowledge by disenchanting gear. This works similarly to how gathering professions get extra knowledge from gathering. You can loot 5x |
| Inscription Treatise (1 KP) | To get a |
Enchanting Knowledge Catch-Up
Enchanters can earn extra Knowledge Points by Disenchanting. After getting all your Weekly Knowledge Points, you'll start looting
Glimmering Powder, which gives +1 Knowledge per drop. The amount you get depends on how many points you're behind.
To make Glimmering Powder start dropping, you must first complete your weekly Enchanting tasks:
- Trainer weekly quest
- Disenchant items until you get the 5x
Swirling Arcane Essence and 1x
Brimming Mana Shard weekly Knowledge Points - Loot the 2 weekly items from treasures:
Lost Thalassian Vellum and
Voidstorm Ashes
Once those are done, Glimmering Powder will begin to drop from disenchanting eligible items. Just like gathering professions, these do not have a weekly cap - you can earn them until you're caught up.
Glimmering Powder Drop Rates
I only tested a few hundred disenchanting attempts, but the results should be close enough to give you a good idea of the drop rates:
- Greens: ~10%
- Blues: ~50%
- Epics: Always drop 1 (100%)
One-Time Enchanting Knowledge in Midnight
These are one-time sources of Enchanting Knowledge in Midnight. Treasures are the fastest way to get Knowledge Points for your specializations, so collect them as soon as possible. Each treasure is a one-time pickup per character.
Renown Knowledge Book
Skill Issue: Enchanting is sold by the Silvermoon Court Renown Quartermaster Caeris Fairdawn in Eversong Woods.
Midnight Enchanting Treasures
There are 8 Enchanting treasures in Midnight. Collecting them provides 24 Knowledge Points in total. They are located in Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm.

true = collectedEnchanting Specializations
There are four specialization trees available. You unlock them at Enchanting skill levels 25, 50, 60, and 75.
I have a separate guide that explains each specialization in detail and recommends the best builds for different playstyles.
Midnight Enchanting Specialization Guide & Best Builds
Profession Equipment
Enchanters were unique in The War Within because they were the only profession with Epic tools (the Enchanted Runed Warpstone Rod). In Midnight, every profession now has access to Epic tools, so Enchanting is no longer special in this regard.
The key thing to remember: Epic and Rare tools give the same Skill bonus (+18 for tools, +11 for accessories = +40 total). Epic tools only provide higher secondary stats (Resourcefulness, Ingenuity, Multicraft). Rare tools work fine for crafting max-rank items.
Profession Gear for Enchanters
Enchanters can craft their own Runed Rod (main tool). You'll need to get a Hat from a Tailor and a Focusing Crystal from a Jewelcrafter.
| Slot | Crafted By | Green Quality | Blue Quality | Epic Quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tool (Rod) | Enchanting | |||
| Accessory (Hat) | Tailoring | |||
| Accessory (Crystal) | Jewelcrafting |
Rod Recipes
Enchanters can craft their own profession tool. The recipes come from:
- Green (Runed Refulgent Copper Rod): Trainer at skill 1
- Blue (Runed Brilliant Silver Rod): Specialization: Transitories, Tonics, and Tools
- Epic (Runed Dazzling Thorium Rod): Vendor: Lyna in Silvermoon City

Each faction sells 2-4 recipes at Renown Rank 5, including weapon enchants, tool enchants, and some unique items like the Codex off-hands and Gleeful Glamour.

All Enchanting Recipes
Here is the complete list of new Enchanting recipes in Midnight. Recipes come from trainers, specialization unlocks, vendors (different factions sell different recipes), treasure drops, and dungeon drops.
Enchant Categories
Enchants in Midnight are organized into themed categories that correspond to specialization skill bonuses:
- Amani Augments
- Haranir Heightening
- Thalassian Talents
Pay attention to which category an enchant belongs to when planning your specializations. Each category has its own skill bonus node in the specialization tree, so investing in the right branch directly increases the quality of the enchants you craft in that category.
Weapon Enchants
Most of these are stat procs for DPS. The Worldsoul enchants are defensive options for tanks and healers.

|---|---|---|---|
