Enchanting
Overview
Enchanting is a primary profession. It lets you improve equipment with enchantments, and recover materials by disenchanting items.
It does not need a gathering profession: its materials come from disenchanted items.
What this profession is for
- Enchant equipment to strengthen it.
- Disenchant items to obtain materials.
- Craft wands and other magical items.
Learning the profession
Enchanting is learned from an enchanting trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill and requires a character level and a minimum skill:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill, from level 5.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill and level 10.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill and level 20.
- Artisan: up to 300, from 200 skill and level 35.
Remember to visit your trainer as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
In brackets, what each trainer teaches: 75 (Apprentice rank, from 0 to 75), 75 + (Journeyman rank, from 75 to 150), 150 + (Expert rank, from 150 to 225), 225 + (Artisan rank, from 225 to 300).
