WoW Forever Enchanting Guide
Enchanting disenchants magic items into dust, essences and shards, then uses them to add permanent stats to gear. It has no gathering partner, which makes it the classic choice for players who want to enchant their own raid gear.
WoW Forever facts and Classic reference are kept apart below; every line links to its source.

Key milestones
- Crusader (skill 300) heals and grants Strength on melee hits and needs Large Brilliant Shards and Righteous Orbs. Warcraft Wiki
- Righteous Orbs drop from humanoids on the Scarlet side of Stratholme at roughly a 5% rate. Warcraft Wiki
Leveling outline
- Disenchant every green and blue you do not need instead of vendoring it.
- Craft the next enchanting rod as soon as it unlocks; later formulas require it.
- Sell cheap early enchants to lowbies for skill-ups that pay for themselves.
Best pairing
Tailoring. Enchanting needs a steady stream of green items to disenchant, and Tailoring turns looted cloth into exactly that.
Who benefits from Enchanting
- Mages, Priests and Warlocks: Cloth wearers already level Tailoring, which feeds disenchanting.
- Guild raiders: Having your own enchanter means your raid gear is enchanted the day it drops.
In our WoW Forever class picks: Paladin (level 60) · Priest (leveling) · Priest (level 60) · Shaman (level 60) · Mage (level 60) · Warlock (leveling) · Warlock (level 60) · Druid (level 60)
Gold-making notes
- Crusader was in constant demand from tanks and rogues in Classic, so enchanters who owned the formula earned tips on every weapon upgrade. Warcraft Wiki
