Leveling in World of Warcraft Classic is a time-consuming and demanding process that takes commitment, no matter if we’re talking about regular leveling, leveling professions, weapons, or spells like Conjured Food.
So before jumping into leveling anything, it’s advised you reconsider your choices and set your decision in stone. Although leveling a character is easily the biggest time investment in WoW, leveling your professions requires you to invest time and gold, which means dropping professions and picking up a new one is far from an easy decision.
Enchanting is, without a doubt, one of the easiest professions to pick up since it can be leveled from the comfort of your hub city without any need to travel across the continent in search of materials. Since Enchanting allows you to enchant both your and other players’ gear with bonus stats, Grandmaster Enchanters will be high in demand, especially before the launch of raids.
Before you get overly excited, we must warn you that the best Enchanting recipes are normally hiding in dungeons and raids. Once you get your hands on the rare recipes, the money will start flowing in.
To get a head start on other Enchanters, here’s a complete guide on how to level Enchanting quickly and effectively tackling the Enchanting trainers, the essential materials, and the leveling process.
How to level Enchanting in WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic
Learning Enchanting
Just like any other old-world profession, you can learn the magic art of Enchanting by visiting any capital city and talking to an Enchanting Apprentice-Artisan. Horde Apprentice-Artisans can be found in Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff, Undercity, Silverpine Forest, Durotar, Tanaris, and Silvermoon City. On the other hand, Alliance Enchanting trainers can be found in Stormwind, Ironforge, Darkshore, Duskwood, Tanaris, and Exodar. Once you’ve reached level 300 in Enchanting, travel across the Dark Portal and learn Master Enchanting from trainers in Hellfire Penninsula, Shattrah City, or Netherstorm. And lastly, to become Grandmaster Enchanter, pay a visit to Grandmaster Enchanter in Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord, Icecrown, or Dalaran.
Getting started with Mining
Once you absorbed the fundamentals of Enchanting, visit any Enchanting Supplies vendor and purchase Copper Rod to get started with Enchanting. You can also buy a couple of dusts and essences to simply have an easier time with these first couple of levels. After you craft your first Runed Copper Rod, keep it at all times with you and don’t leave it in a bank or sell it since it’s an essential item to Enchanting. As you level Enchanting, you’ll quickly learn there are other types of rods you’ll need to have on you, like Runed Silver Rod and Runed Golden Rod. They should too be in your inventory at all times.
