World of Warcraft Classic is full of professions for players to learn, giving you access to all kinds of items and armor to use while questing and raiding. Several of them also provide decent opportunities for making solid gold in the Auction House. One that does both is enchanting, which gives you the ability to enchant gear with additional stats. Anytime someone gets a new piece of gear, you’ll have the opportunity to make some gold enchanting it for them. Here’s how to level enchanting to the max level in World of Warcraft Classic.
Materials needed for enchanting
Before starting the grind up to level 450, you might want to get together your materials. Pairing enchanting with tailoring gives you lots of gear you can disenchant to get some of the materials you need for cheap. Otherwise, you’ll have to buy quite a bit of it off of the Auction House. Here’s a rough idea of what you’ll need:
- 125 x Strange Dust
- 1 x Lesser Magical Essence
- 12 x Greater Magical Essence
- 25 x Lesser Astral Essence
- 130 x Soul Dust
- 2 x Greater Astral Essence
- 240 x Vision Dust
- 2 x Greater Mystic Essence
- 5 x Lesser Nether Essence
- 360 x Dream Dust
- 40 x Purple Lotus
- 40 x Illusion Dust
- 8 x Greater Eternal Essence
- 8 x Large Brilliant Shard
- 640 x Arcane Dust
- 20 x Lesser Planar Essence
- 57 x Greater Planar Essence
- 15 s Nightmare Vine
- 37 x Large Prismatic Shard
- 1 x Primal Might
- 704-724 x Infinite Dust
- 1 x Eternium Rod
- 10 x Crystallized Water
- 40-48 x Greater Cosmic Essence
- 110-124 x Eternal Earth
- 48-52 x Dream Shard
- 1 x Titanium Rod
- 3 x Abyss Crystal
You’ll also need to make sure you have the correct enchanting rod. We’ll cover when and where to make these in our breakdown below. Plus, there will be a few other materials like gems and unimbued rods you’ll need to buy from the Auction House or the enchanting vendor next to a trainer. It’s also worth noting that prices of dust and essences change all the time on the market. It might be cheaper to craft something that isn’t discussed in our guide, so try to pay attention to the Auction House while working your way through.
Enchanting 1 to 300
First, you’ll need to head to a hub city to learn enchanting. We recommend shacking up in whichever location you choose for the long haul, as you’ll need to revisit this trainer quite often. Just head into a city like Stormwind or Orgrimmar and talk to a guard to see where the trainer is. Then, you can get started with our guide below:
- Runed Copper Rod (1 x Copper Rod, 1 x Strange Dust, 1 x Lesser Magic Essense) 1 to 2
- Enchant Bracer – Minor Health (1 x Strange Dust) 2 to 90
- Note: if Strange Dust prices are low on your realm, you can actually craft these all the way to 120.
- Enchant Bracer – Minor Stamina (3 x Strange Dust) 90 to 100
- Runed Silver Rod (1 x Silver Rod, 6 x Strange Dust, 3 x Greater Magic Essence) 100 to 101
- Greater Magic Wand (1 x Simple Wood, 1 x Greater Magic Essence) 101 to 110

- Enchant Bracer – Lesser Stamina (2 x Soul Dust) 135 to 155
- Runed Golden Rod (1 x Golden Rod, 1 x Iridescent Pearl, 2 x Greater Astral Essence, 2 x Soul Dust) 155 to 156

- Enchant Chest – Superior Health (6 x Vision Dust) 235 to 250
- Note: If you can find the formula for Enchant Bracer – Greater Stamina on the Auction House, consider picking it up. It’s a random drop but is the most efficient way to grind from 245 to 285. Otherwise, just continue below.
- Lesser Mana Oil (3 x Dream Dust, 2 x Purple Lotus, 1 x Crystal Vial) 250 to 265
- Note: This recipe is sold in Silithus at the Inn.

The Burning Crusade Enchanting 300 to 375
As before, you first need to head to a trainer and learn enchanting. In this case, you need to go to either Thrallmar (Horde) or Honor Hold (Alliance) to get started.

Wrath of the Lich King Enchanting 375 to 450
Just like the BC, you’ll now need to head to a city and learn Grand Master Enchanting before moving on. We should also note that, depending on prices, you can actually start using WotLK recipes (using Infinite Dust) at level 351. Because prices tend to fluctuate, we’re leaving the above section unchanged from BC, but be sure to check around and see if Infinite Dust recipes can be crafted cheaper.
- Runed Eternium Rod (1 x Eternerium Rod, 6 x Greater Planar Essence, 6 x Arcane Dust, 1 x Runed Adamantite Rod) 375 to 376
- Enchant Bracers – Striking (6 x Infinite Dust) 376 to 380
- Enchant Bracers – Exceptional Intellect (10 x Infinite Dust) 380 to 385
- Enchant Boots – Icewalker (8 x Infinite Dust, 1 x Crystallized Water) 385 to 395
- Enchant Cloak – Superior Agility (9 x Infinite Dust) 395 to 410
- Enchant Gloves – Expertise (12 x Infinite Dust) 410 to 415
- Enchant Boots – Greater Spirit (10 x Infinite Dust, 1 x Greater Cosmic Essence) 415 to 420
- Enchant Chest – Greater Mana Restoration (4 x Infinite Dust, 4 x Greater Cosmic Essence) 420 to 425

That should take you to max level and open up everything enchanting has to offer. Make sure to let all your guild friends know that you can now help them out with their enchants. Just make sure they tip you first.
