This TBC Classic Enchanting Leveling Guide will show you the fastest and easiest way to level your Enchanting skill up from 1 to 375 in Burning Crusade Classic.
If you still haven't decided about your second profession, I think Enchanting goes well with Tailoring because you don't need a gathering profession to support either of them, and you can also use Enchanting to disenchant the items you made with Tailoring. Check out my TBC Classic Tailoring leveling guide if you want to level Tailoring.
I recommend trying Zygor's 1-70 Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt. The guide will help you to reach level 70 a lot faster.

Leveling TBC Enchanting
1 - 50
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.
- 1-2
1x Runed Copper Rod - 1 Copper Rod, 1 Strange Dust, 1 Lesser Magic EssenceCopper Rod is sold by Trade Good, Trade Supply, and Enchanting Supply vendors, don't buy the rod from the Auction House. The vendors are usually near your trainer somewhere.
- 2-50
Disenchant green quality items or make the following:48x Enchant Bracer: Minor Health - 48 Strange Dust
Journeyman Enchanting
Visit your trainer and learn Journeyman Enchanting. (Requires level 10)
50 - 135
- 50-90
40x Enchant Bracer: Minor Health - 40 Strange DustIf Strange Dust is cheap and Greater Magic Essence is expensive on your realm, you can make this Enchant up to 120.
- 90-100
10x Enchant Bracer: Minor Stamina - 30 Strange Dust
- 100-101
1x Runed Silver Rod - 1 Silver Rod, 6 Strange Dust, 3 Greater Magic Essence
- 101-110
9x Greater Magic Wand - 9 Simple Wood, 9 Greater Magic Essence
- 110-135
Buy these two recipes Formula: Enchant Bracer - Lesser Strength, Formula: Enchant Cloak - Minor Agility from Kulwia (Horde) in Stonetalon Mountains, or from Dalria (Alliance) in Ashenvale.
These are limited supply recipes. If someone bought them before you, then you have to wait for it to respawn. I don't know the exact respawn timer, but it's between 30-50 min. (or just buy them from the Auction House)
25x Enchant Cloak: Minor Agility - 25 Lesser Astral Essence
Alternative
Make the recipe below if Astral essence is expensive on your realm and you can find cheap Small Glimmering Shards.
28x Enchant 2H Weapon - Minor Impact - 112 Strange Dust, 28 Small Glimmering Shard
Expert Enchanting
Visit your trainer and learn Expert Enchanting. (Requires level 20)
135 - 225
- 135-155
20x Enchant Bracer - Lesser Stamina - 40 Soul Dust
- 155-156
1x Runed Golden Rod - 1 Golden Rod, 1 Iridescent Pearl, 2 Greater Astral Essence, 2 Soul Dust
- 156-185
40x Enchant Bracer - Lesser Strength - 80 Soul DustCheck the "110-135" step for recipe location.
This one turns yellow at 165, however, if 2 Soul Dust is a lot cheaper than 1 Lesser Mystic Essence, keep making these until 185.
If it's not then at 165 switch to:
- 165-185
20x Enchant Bracer: Spirit - 20 Lesser Mystic Essence
- 165-185
- 185-200
15x Enchant Bracer: Strength - 15 Vision Dust
- 200-201
1x Runed Truesilver Rod - 1 Truesilver Rod, 1 Black Pearl, 2 Greater Mystic Essence, 2 Vision Dust
- 201-220
25x Enchant Bracer: Strength - 25 Vision DustThe enchant will be yellow, so you should buy enough dust to make it around 25 times.
- 220-225
5x Enchant Cloak: Greater Defense - 15 Vision Dust
Artisan Enchanting
Visit your trainer and learn Artisan Enchanting. (Requires level 35)
225 - 300
- 225-230
5x Enchant Gloves: Agility - 5 Lesser Nether Essence, 5 Vision DustMake Enchant Cloak: Greater Defense, if you don't have Lesser Nether Essence.
- 230-235
5x Enchant Boots - Stamina - 25 Vision Dust
- 235-250
25x Enchant Chest: Superior Health - 150 Vision Dust
Try 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 or even 285.
- 250-265
20x Lesser Mana Oil - 60 Dream Dust, 40 Purple Lotus, 20 Crystal VialYou can make this one up to 270 if you can get cheap purple lotus.
Kania sells the Formula: Lesser Mana Oil in Silithus. She is upstairs in the Inn.
- 265-290
27x Enchant Shield: Greater Stamina - 270 Dream DustThe recipe is sold by Daniel Bartlett at Undercity, and by Mythrin'dir 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 limited in supply, this means you have to wait if someone bought it before you.
- 290-299
9x Enchant Cloak: Superior Defense - 72 Illusion DustFormula: Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense is sold by Lorelae Wintersong in Moonglade at Nighthaven. The next recipe is also sold by her, so don't leave before you buy that one too. It's limited in supply, this means you have to wait if someone bought it before you.
You can continue to make Enchant Shield: Greater Stamina if you have a lot of dream dust, or if Illusion Dust is expensive.
- 299-300
1x Runed Arcanite Rod - 1 Arcanite Rod, 1 Golden Pearl, 10 Illusion Dust, 4 Greater Eternal Essence, 2 Large Brilliant ShardFormula: Runed Arcanite Rod is sold by Lorelae Wintersong in Moonglade at Nighthaven. It's limited in supply, this means you have to wait if someone bought it before you. (15-20 min)
Burning Crusade Classic (300-375)
You can learn the new TBC Enchanting skill in Hellfire Peninsula from Felannia (Horde) at Thrallmar, and from Johan Barnes (Alliance) at Honor Hold.
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.
300 - 310
-
1x Runed Fel Iron Rod - 1 Fel Iron Rod, 4 Greater Eternal Essence, 6 Large Brilliant Shard
-
9x Bracer - Assault - 54 Arcane Dust
Alternative recipe:
If you can get cheap Illusion Dust, you can make this recipe below as an alternative. (you still have to craft the Runed Fel Iron Rod)
12x Enchant Cloak: Superior Defense - 96 Illusion Dust
This recipe is yellow at this point, so you might have to make more.
310 - 316
6x Bracer - Brawn - 36 Arcane Dust
You can continue to make Enchant Cloak: Superior Defense if you still have some Illusion Dust left, or if it's much cheaper than Arcane Dust. But at this point the recipe is getting close to turning green, so you have an even lower chance to gain skill points.
316 - 330
16x Gloves - Assault - 128 Arcane Dust
This recipe will be yellow between 20-30, so you might need to make more.
Alternative recipe:
If 100x Arcane Dust is more expensive than 20x Greater Planar Essence then you should make Chest - Major Spirit between 320-330.
10x Chest - Major Spirit - 20 Greater Planar Essence
330 - 335
5x Shield - Major Stamina - 75 Arcane Dust
The recipe sold by Madame Ruby at Shattrath City. You should also buy Formula: Superior Wizard Oil while you are there. Both of them are limited supply items, so if someone bought them before you, you have to wait for them to respawn. (5-10minutes)
Alternative recipe:
6x Chest - Major Spirit - 12 Greater Planar Essence
You might have to make a few more to reach 335.
Blood Elf Only 335 - 345
There is an alternative really cheap method for the 335-345 part, but only Blood Elves can benefit from it.
Their racial passive skill Arcane Affinity allows them to gain ten free skill ups by converting a Large Prismatic Shard into three Small Prismatic Shard and back again.
Only the conversion from one Large Prismatic Shard to three Small Prismatic Shards is affected by this. Therefore, you will only have the chance to gain skill-ups half of the time (since the other half of the time you'll be converting back to three Small Prismatic Shards). The recipe will be grey and you won't gain skill points for every craft! The chance to gain skill points is very low. It will probably take 10-15 minutes to gain the 10 free skill points.
The Formula: Large Prismatic Shard is sold by these NPCs, and the Small Prismatic Shard recipe is taught by your trainer.
If you want to make the process a bit easier, you could create two macros and then drag them to your action bar temporarily.
Macro 1: /cast Small Prismatic Shard
Macro 2: /cast Large Prismatic Shard
335 - 340
5x Shield - Resilience - 5 Large Prismatic Shard, 20 Lesser Planar Essence
You can keep making Shield - Major Stamina if Large Prismatic Shard is too expensive.
340 - 350
15x Superior Wizard Oil- 45 Arcane Dust, 15 Nightmare Vine, 15 Imbued Vial
The recipe sold by Madame Ruby at Shattrath City. It's yellow already when you learn it, so you might need to make a few more.
You can buy Imbued Vials from trade supply, or alchemy supply vendors.
Alternative recipe:
Make more Shield - Resilience or switch to the next recipe if you don't have Nightmare Vine.
350 - 360
15x Enchant Gloves - Major Strength - 180 Arcane Dust, 15 Greater Planar Essence
This recipe is yellow, so you might need to make a few more.
360 - 361
1x Runed Adamantite Rod - 1 Adamantite Rod, 1 Primal Might, 8 Greater Planar Essence, 8 Large Prismatic Shard
The Formula: Runed Adamantite Rod is sold by Rungor in Terrokar Forest at Stonebreaker Hold, and by Vodesiin in Hellfire Penninsula at the Temple of Telhamat.
You can make the Runed Adamantite Rod at 350 too. The reason I would recommend making it at 360 instead of 350 is that it's still a guaranteed skill point, while the Gloves recipe is getting close to turning green, so it has a lower chance of giving you skill points.
361 - 365
10x Enchant Gloves - Major Strength - 120 Arcane Dust, 10 Greater Planar Essence
You might have to maker more than 10.
365 - 375
12x Enchant Ring - Spellpower - 24 Large Prismatic Shard, 24 Greater Planar Essence
The Formula: Enchant Ring - Spell Power is sold by Alurmi at Tanaris. It requires an Honored reputation with the Keepers of Time faction.
Alternative recipes
You can also make Formula: Enchant Ring - Striking if you are Revered with the Consortium faction. Sold by Ythyar inside Karazhan, just before the Chess event.
If you don't mind reaching 375 slowly, you could also just make Void Sphere if Void Crystal is cheap on your realm. It has a 2 days cooldown, so it will take around 25-40 days to reach 375 with this recipe.
15x Void Sphere - 30x Void Crystal
Congratulations on reaching 375! Please send feedback about the guide if you think there are parts I could improve, or you found typos, errors, wrong material numbers!
