I may be wrong as enchanting seems to be changing all the time, but i believe with enchanting you can disenchant items you find or buy, then use the enchantment from them to enchant your own items, but im not 100% on that
Lorodar, that's it in a nutshell ^_^
Enchanting involves two things: breaking down uncommon (magical) items for ingrediants, and casting enchantments on weapons/armor.
The idea is, you take green or higher equipment (doesn't work with recipes or gems), and disenchant them. Enchanters have two skills, disenchanting and enchanting, like how miners can mine and smelt. They get things from these magical items like dust or essences.
These disenchanted ingrediants are what is used in enchantings' "recipes." Enchanters can then use these ingrediants to add stats to different armor or weapons, say, +5 damager to a two-handed weapon (which also gives a blue glow) or +3 Stamina to bracers.
However, enchanting is VERY expensive, because you need to use green items to get ingrediants. This means you either buy them, which is tough, make them youself (tailoring can make green items around level 100 or so... I know because I found a pattern for a green robe ;-)), or get them from friends/guild members (I send my enchanter friend every green I get... probably about 30g worth of greens so far).
Enchantments later on are very useful. A lot of people like glows, but the damage put on weapons are great. The problem is the cost... some of the ingrediants are very rare, and expensive. So, enchantments are expensive. Thus, you can make a lot of money, but it takes a lot to get up there. Plus, everyone is underselling their enchantments to raise their skill on the way up. The best practice is to have a guild member who enchants for your guild at a reduced rate, on the condition that you help them get greens. This is what I'm doing with my friend ^_^
Another thing to note: Because almost all equipment is soulbound once you equip it, make sure you're going to USE an enchanted piece of armor for a few levels. It would stink to enchant your weapon for 15 gold, and then find a better one a level later. Thus, I'm holding off on expensive enchantments until level 40 or so.
By the way, soulbound equipment can be enchanted by trading in the "Will not be traded." Yay ^_^

LockeColeMA Sage :: Thank you so much =) I think i start to get this now :P have not tried so much but i'm at lvl 21 atleast =)
Hehe, thanks again!
Hehe, thanks again!
Glad I could be a help ^_^
A suggestion I have, if you're just starting out: take up two professions; a gathering and tailoring, perhaps. The gathering procession will be to make money; herbs and ore sell well, not positive about skinning. Get up to a decent level for it, and when you have enough money, switch to enchanting. By then, you can make your own items with tailoring to disenchant, and you'll have some gold to throw around.
Another idea would be to get to level 40 and solo some instances. Warriors and Paladins can solo Deadmines fairly easily by this time, probably the same with Hunters and rogues... not sure about magic-users. Running through the mines will get you at least a dozen green items, and probably 4 or 5 blues. I bet these disenchant fairly well. My best advice again is to get a good guild to give you items ^_^
