WoW Forever Enchanting Leveling Guide: 1 to 300
Enchanting changed less than the other crafts in Forever. The skill ranges are close to Classic, the first few points got cheaper with new beginner recipes, and the camp gets the most stacked buff in the game. Your real limiter is still disenchanting enough dust and essences, so plan the materials before the recipes.
Checked against the final beta datamine, build 1.60.1.70532, on . Overview and perks:Enchanting page; every recipe: Enchanting recipes.

The short version
Our Enchanting path takes about 360 crafts in 12 steps, 10 of them on trainer recipes. It opens with Enchant Bracer - Minor Deflect, and the biggest materials are 119 Lesser Magic Essence, 56 Lesser Mystic Essence, 53 Lesser Astral Essence.

- Reported Artisan Enchanting has a single trainer for everyone, Annora in Uldaman. You need level 35 and 200 skill. wow-professions.com

Enchanting 1-300 path
Each step uses one kind of dust or essence, which keeps the shopping list short but deep. Disenchant every green you find while leveling; a tailor or leatherworker friend feeding you their crafts is the classic shortcut.

Making gold with Enchanting
There are no Forever prices yet. These notes describe the Classic economy and are marked as such until launch data exists.
- Classic fallback Enchant Weapon - Crusader was the most requested weapon enchant of Classic, and its formula was a rare drop. Warcraft Wiki
- Classic fallback Disenchanting turns unwanted green and blue items into dust, essences and shards, the materials every other enchanter has to buy. Warcraft Wiki

How this path is built
- Every recipe, reagent and skill colour comes from the Enchanting data in the beta client, so the path follows Forever's thresholds, not Classic's.
- A program tries every recipe at every skill point and keeps the chain that uses the fewest raw materials. Crafted parts are broken down into what they are made of; finished goods and scarce drops count extra.
- Trainer recipes win over recipe items, and recipe items that are new in Forever count extra because nobody has confirmed where they come from.
- The client does not say when a trainer recipe can be learned, so we count such a recipe from the skill where it turns yellow. You can often learn it a little earlier.
- Camp features, cooldown crafts such as transmutes, faction-only recipes and recipes with rare reagents are left out.
Still unknown
- How much more the Arcane Salvager gives per disenchant.
- Which new enchants (ring enchants, staves) are trainer recipes and which drop.
- Whether Annora is still the only Artisan trainer at launch.

WoW Forever enchanting FAQ
Who teaches Artisan Enchanting in WoW Forever?
Only Annora in Uldaman. Bring enough gold to learn every recipe she has and enough materials for the next stretch, so you do not have to go back.
What does the Enchanted Lute do?
It is the first Enchanting camp feature. Everyone sitting at your camp gets 308 armor, 13 to all stats and 22 to all resistances. It does not stack with Mark of the Wild.
Do I need a gathering profession for Enchanting?
No. Disenchanting is your gathering. Tailoring pairs well because you can disenchant what you sew.
How many crafts does Enchanting 1-300 take in WoW Forever?
About 360 by our estimate from the beta skill colours, in 12 steps. 2 of the steps need a recipe item instead of a trainer recipe. Luck on the yellow steps moves the number a little either way.
