Here are some tips and knowledge concerning enchanting before you decide to choose it as your profession.

Whether you are new to World of Warcraft or you just want to try something new, you will find that the profession of enchanting has a lot to offer.  When you get to level ten, you can pick up two professions, and enchanting can be a great way to spend your time.  You may also find that a profession that you have picked up is not working for you, and it might be a good time to give  enchanting a spin.  Essentially, enchanting is the art of deconstructing gear to harvest magical components on them and putting permanent positive augmentations on existing gear.
This profession is a great way to improve your gear and that of your party, and you’ll find that it is also a great money maker in the auction house if you know how to use it right.  Check out some of the great WoW enchanting tips below to get you started.  If you are picking up enchanting to make more gold in wow, you MUST check out this gold guide.  It not only tells you every money making secret concerning enchanting, but every gold secret in the WHOLE GAME of wow.  You could check out our review too.

1)  Create a banker alt

One thing that many experienced players do is to create a low level character that is only in charge of hanging on to things that other characters send it. Enchanting is a profession where you are going to be gathering the gear that you want to disenchant long before you can disenchant it, so hang on to that gear by sending it to a banker alt.  This way, rather than running around trying to gather gear that is pertinent to your current enchanting skill, you’ll be able to use stored goods.

2)  Become auction house savvy

One great way to make money with enchanting is to hit the auction house.  Essentially, in the course of the game, you are going to be picking up green and blue items that, despite their color, are not going to be very good.  When this happens, disenchant them down to their basic components and put those components on the auction house.  Not only will you get your skill up, you’ll also find that by using the add-on Auctioneer, you will be able to sell your reagents for a competitive but not unfair price.

3)  Be willing to do some farming

There are certainly points when you are leveling up your enchanting where it feels like you are just doing the same thing over and over again.  There is a certain amount of grinding that comes with any profession, and with enchanting, what this means is that you should take some time out and start hitting areas that you know have a lot of drops.  These drops don’t even necessarily need to be terrific, there just needs to be enough of them so that you can get your skill up.

4)  Do some advertising

When it comes to doing effective enchanting, one of the best WoW enchanting tips that you will find is to make some friends who need some enchanting done!  Advertise in the major cities that you are interested in enchanting for them.  This is a good way to make a little bit of money, and to get to know people as well.  This will also let you level up your enchanting without needing to worry about making gear that doesn’t suit your class.

5)  Go shopping

The auction house is good for more than just selling.  Take some time and occasionally go shopping for interesting or obscure formulae.  This will keep your skill growing and you won’t have to rely on drops and luck!

6)  Get a Guide to Help You

You aren’t a “pro” enchanter, so if you need the best help and advice to get the most out of enchanting, getting a guide written by a pro wow player really does help.

One that we recommend is the gold secrets guide which covers all of enchanting.
