Remember that drops and rewards are not the only source for mats. Use Enchantrix, and you can find plenty of bargain items to DE on the AH. Disenchant everything that will make you coin. I'm not a big believer in saving mats, since they are so easy to come by. You can start disenchanting items from the AH with a starting amount as low as 50 silver and have thousands of gold before you reach level 40. If I can do it, anyone can.

Buying items on the AH:

   /enchantrix percentless 50

this command will give you a list of items to be disenchanted for a profit margin of 50% (doubles your money)

Bidding on items on the AH:

   /enchantrix bidbroker 100

This command will give you a list of items to bid on, where the profit is at least 1 gold. You can set your bidbroker profit margin in the enchantrix settings window.

Nice write-up YJMark!!



FYI, this stems from a common source of confusion that applies to all professions, not just enchanting.

Contrary to popular belief, the color (yellow or green) of the recipe does not determine the likelihood of earning a skill-up. I've heard many people describe "yellow" as a ~75% chance of skill-up and "green" as a ~25% chance, but this is just plain wrong. Your likelihood of a skill-up is calculated first, based on your current skill level, and then that likelihood is reflected in your spellbook as a color.

When a recipe first turns "yellow" for you, it may reflect that you still have close to a 100% chance of skill-up. As your profession level rises, that likelihood of a skillup steadily drops until it crosses the 50% threshhold and thus turns "green" for you. Those first few attempts on a green recipe will reflect that you still have close to a 50% skill-up, but then your odds steadily drop to zero as your profession skill rises to the point when the recipe turns grey.

Another thing that you might want to emphasize: Enchanting bags. If you are going to be disenchanting to make gold, it's a good idea to have a huge enchanting bag in the bank. That means either the 24-slot or the 28-slot bag. If you are making gold disenchanting, you'll have the gold for the mats to either one.

From 265 - 300, it should work OK.

Runecloth Belts will generally DE into Dream Dust, and occasionally Eternal Essences.

Shield - Greater Stamina only uses Dream Dust. That enchant should take you from 266 - 290.

Then, you'll use the Eternal Essence that you also got (albeit a lesser amount of) to go from 291 - 300.

Does that make sense?

However, you will want Nether Essence from 240-265. I missed that part. DOH!! Nice catch. My recommendation, since you are already at 253, is the Black Mageweave Headband. Those will DE into Dream Dust and Greater Nether Essences. It should get you to 265.

For some quick mageweave, Jintha'alor in Hinterlands is an easy farm. Just clear the whole area out, and you'll get many many stacks fast.

I'll update the guide. Sorry about that.

This is a great guide. Thanks you. It works perfectly. As a lvl 45 pally that started with like 50 gold up to about 130 gold, this doesn't include the 8 netherweave bags and other things I have purchased since starting this. And I leveled my enchanting from 0-180 in about two hours and still have about 50 gold sitting in the auction house waiting to sell.

You are correct. The only exception to this rule is the Blood Elf race due to their racial bonus (which I what I was when doing this.....DOH!).

Sorry about that. I've updated the listing to use Shield - Major Stamina. Fairly cheap at 15x Arcane Dust. Tanks also love this enchant, so it is usually pretty easy to sell (if you are into free leveling).

Nice catch.

Hmm... where exactly do you enter those commands? In the chat window?

Doing the commands in the chat window will make Auctioneer/Enchantrix set something so that it will do what you want it to do?

Also, ohmikegod is working on a guide for using Enchantrix. He says it's not completed yet (so please don't edit it), but it's pretty friggin awesome. It's at this link:

Making Gold by Disenchanting - A Guide

Perhaps we shouldn't sell all our Eternal Essences at level 300. Might need to hold on to four Greater Eternals for that next item. I wish I had read ahead before selling off those mats. (Although I believe I bought them back cheaper than I sold them!)

Anyone know if the new xp makes it easier to get from 370 to 375? I'm looking at guides for this and tailoring. Tailoring specifically says to run mechanar. How in the hell am I going to do that solo (as a priest even). So how do I get these 2 professions up to Northrend levels? 375.
