This guide focuses on making the training path easier by using enchants that can be learned from Enchanting trainers and enchants with the most easily obtained materials. It also looks to make the items that will prove most cost effective at each stage. Unless stated otherwise, all the formulas used in this guide can be purchased for an Enchanting Trainer of appropriate level.
You might also want to take a look at our Disenchanting guide that details the skill level and character level required to disenchant items of a particular level as well as the item levels that produce each type of dust, essence, shard and crystal.
