Hello all~

I just started a new character, a BE warlock. Thing is, every character I've had before her has just had skinning and leatherworking because it was the easiest for me to do. Of course, now, I'm sick of it. lol

For my new warlock, I chose tailoring (since she can only wear cloth armor) and enchanting. I'm new to both. Tailoring seems easy enough, but the enchanting is very confusing for me for some reason. An example would be this: I bought a whole lot of strange dust and something called Essence of ______ (I think, I'm at work, so I can't really go look it up) to start out with. I went to make a couple of those rods, which said only use 1 of each (dust and other stuff) and once I made 3 rods, all my dust was gone. All of it. I had bought at least 15 of both strange dust and the enchanting stuff. Only made 3 rods. I was and still am so confused.

Where can I find information that would help me understand this trade skill?

Thank you!

Did you try looking at the FAQ?

well, you only need 1 rod, at each level. Easy way to level enchanating ( at low levels) is to d/e stuff. Each recipe you have lists requirements, so you should not "lose" mats. Enchanting is fun, but be prepared for all the cheapos around. Twinks think nothong of spending 60-80 gold for cleft armor kits, yet tip for enchants??. "Why should I pay for you to click a button?". Uhh, I guess for the same reason you expect others to pay you for your leather or ore?
Bleahh.

Besides the fact that you can de green items that will give you mats (and rep at first), leveling enchanting is much like leveling leatherworking which you already know. Basically, you acquire recipes and try to use those that have the cheapest and fewest mats while leveling your skill.

Often you will find these are enchants to your bracers at first. You can open your character screen and enchant your bracers. Then just do it again. Since you wont find enough people who want really low level enchants, you can enchant your own armor over and over to level.

Yes you are going to use mats, just like leveling any crafting profession. As you level your tailoring, de all the greens you make for enchanting mats (you will be making greens as your tailoring skill increases).

You pick the professions you want. Just be aware that leveling enchanting can be expensive. For making money, many people use enchanting primarily for the de skill. They de most of their greens and sell the mats they create. There is now a level requirement to de items, so you will need to level the enchanting as you start to de higher level items.

Your tailor , like leatherworkers, can make low lvl green items, stuff like barabaric vest. When you get to be able to make them, you disenchant them and that gives you your stange dust and lesser magic essence.

So farm linen and raise your tailor skills, when you can make green items, make them and disenchant to get your enchanting mats and raise that skill. You can do a lot of leap-froging and before you know where you are you have low level enchants that people want and you are making greens and the odd blue item in tailoring that you can sell as well as disenchant. like someone else said you can enchant the same item over and over again and so with lots of strange dust you can maybe get enchant up 20 / 25 levles at a go just enchanting the same bracers over and over.

Farming is good for grinding xp and it all fits together great.
