Some trade skill adviceFollow

#1 Feb 03 2008 at 2:47 PM Rating: Decent
My druid is a leatherworker / skinner. I've maxed LW and been thinking recently of picking up enchanting. I'd like the ring enchants and I'd also like to be able to disenchant quest rewards and random drops. I do not have a high level enchanter, as I make my casters enchanters and I get bored of them in the mid to late 40s for some reason.

It could be irritating not being able to skin to supply my leatherworking, but I have a hunter that is a skinner / miner and he can farm some in a relatively painless fashion.

I'd really like to up my potential as a bear tank, and I'm not prepared to make another engineer.

If I do pick up enchanting, what would be the best way to rapidly level it? Solo run through some low level instances, disenchanting all the drops and using those? I think I could reliably solo instances up to 50s instances.

There are two possible reasons to want an enchanter: to get rich, or to enchant your own items.

1) to get rich.
    If all you want is gold, you don't need an enchanter above 300 skill. Any of your mid-40 enchanters can make you all the gold you need by disenchanting.

2) to enchant your own items.
    There are two ways to level your enchanting skill. One is slow, steady, and inexpensive. The other is rapid and expensive.

    In the first, you farm the AH for cheap greens, disenchant, use the resulting mats for leveling enchanting and sell what you don't use. This method results in net gain of gold while leveling.

    In the second, you also farm the AH for cheap greens, but you also buy the mats there as well. Cost is dependent on your particular server's economy. You will also be buying recipes at the AH, too. Like I said, expensive.

    Your saving grace is your mid-40 enchanters, becuase they can provide you enough gold by disenchanting to fund your drive to 375.

Disenchant is also good for inventory management. Everything (green+) your group doesn't want to haul out of an instance, you can disassemble.

You can level up a lot on just disenchants. Start at the low end since a skill bump is a skill bump no matter what you get it from and work you way up through the better stuff. You can also make stuff just to disenchant, but green junk from the auction house will probably be cheaper than making your own.

Try this website: Almost Gaming

or this one:
Lootables

Both are pretty good guides for power leveling any profession.

As for getting mats to power level - I think the others have covered that.
