Midnight Enchanting Specialization Guide & Best Builds

Selling Enchants Build

This build is for players who want to craft and sell enchants in bulk on the Auction House. Instead of relying on Concentration for one big craft every few days, you invest heavily into one enchant category so you can mass-produce Silver or Gold quality enchants without it.

Pick Your Focus

First, pick which enchant category you want to focus on. Check the cheat sheet above to see which enchants belong to which tree. Weapon/Ring/Chest or Helm/Shoulder/Boots are usually the best picks because more players need those. Profession Tool enchants sell too, but the market is smaller.

Not sure which one to pick? Check Wowhead and IcyVeins BiS lists and see which enchants show up the most.

0-50 Points

1. Put 30 points into the Elevating Equipment root node.
2. Put 20 points into the sub-spec you want to focus on.

Next Steps

After your first 50 points, you have two paths depending on what's selling.

Option A: Stay Silver, Get Resourcefulness

If Silver quality enchants are already profitable, stop investing in Elevating Equipment for now. Put your next points into Spellbound Shatterer to unlock Resourcefulness. This saves you materials on every craft, which adds up fast when you're mass-producing.

Remember, the Spellbound Shatterer buff is not passive. You need to use Shatter Essence before crafting enchants to activate it.

Option B: Push for Gold Quality

If you want to craft Gold quality enchants without Concentration, you need to finish the final sub-specialization in your chosen branch and get 3 blue-quality profession gear pieces. This takes more points upfront but lets you sell at a premium.

Disenchanting Build

If you want to make gold without actually crafting enchants, this is the build to go for. Disenchanting lets you break down gear into raw materials and sell them. Early in the expansion, these materials go for crazy prices because everyone needs enchants but nobody has the mats yet. Even weeks later, there's steady demand.

Skill & Gear

Disenchanting ignores all your crafting stats. Resourcefulness, multicraft, ingenuity. None of it matters here. The only stat that affects your results is raw profession skill. More skill means a higher chance of getting rank 2 materials instead of rank 1. Since rare and epic tools both give +18 skill, don't bother with an epic tool for this build. A rare rod plus both rare accessories gives you +40 skill and that's all you need.

Where to Spend Points

1. Put 30 points into Disenchanting Delegate to unlock all three sub-specializations.
2. Pick the sub-spec that matches what you plan to disenchant most (see below).

Sub-Specs (30 each)

• Dust Deliverer - For uncommon (green) gear
• Shard Supplier - For rare (blue) gear
• Crystal Collector - For epic (purple) gear

That's 60 points to get rolling with one sub-spec. I recommend working toward all three over time. You never know which material will sell best on any given week. In The War Within, dust was king early on but shard prices overtook it later. Having all three unlocked means you can always pivot to whatever is most profitable. The full tree costs 120 points, but enchanters earn knowledge fast thanks to all the Gleeful Glamour first-craft bonuses.

Where to Get Items

Don't buy gear off the AH to disenchant. It's almost never worth it. Instead, craft cheap items on an alt with Tailoring or Leatherworking and mail them over. For dust, green profession accessories are dirt cheap to make. For shards, basic blue BOE armor works well.
