Enchanting, a primary profession in Warcraft, can be both one of the easiest and potentially one of the more profitable professions. We’ll take a look at what enchanting is, the various profession levels and the levels your character need to be at in the following WoW Enchanting Guide.

Basically enchanting will let you either give or take magical properties with respect to an item. The magic that you take from something is stored as either dust or essence. Being able to do this to items can be very profitable if other players want something enchanted so they can use them in their own recipes.

If you already have a level 5 character, which is required, then all you need to do is find a trainer. These trainers can be found in large cities. Ask a guard for a trainer if you can’t find one yourself. Trainers can be found in Stormwind and Silvermoon among other places. The follow list shows you what level your character needs to be at in order to begin level to the next level. Read more about leveling in the Enchanting Leveling Guide

• Apprentice: Character Level 5; Skill Levels 1-75

As I mentioned, the enchanting profession itself is pretty easy, but leveling can be a little challenging. This WoW Enchanting guide won’t go into the details of leveling.

One really important thing you should know is that leveling enchanting can be potentially very expensive, so make sure to consider this before you choose it as a profession. To give you an idea of exactly how expensive it can cost up to 500g to level enchanting to 300 and up to 5000g to get to level 375. With the release of the Wrath of the Lich King the levels go up to 450. Each level becomes progressively more difficult and expensive.
