What is Disenchanting?? “Disenchanting is the process of transmuting armor and weapons of uncommon, rare, or epic quality into magical elements (crystals, shards, essences, and dusts), which can then be used in enchanting recipes.

Disenchanting can also provide Enchanting skillups as high as 60 skill”  (wowwiki.com)  Need more money??  Check out the gold guide!

For the basic idea of disenchanting one can sum up products of disenchanting like this, “dust from green armor, essence from green weapons, shards from blues, crystals from purples”. This is basically what you get but there is also a much more detailed and probable disenchanting table with more refined results.  This system relies on item type (armor or weapon), quality, and level. The following tables provide more accurate products of disenchanting certain items.

Uncommon Armor:  Around 80% Chance For Dust, 20% For Essences and 5% for Shards.
