Starting Out With the Enchanting Profession
The first thing that you are going to do, the same as with every profession, is start an apprenticeship by locating a trainer. Trainers will be abundant in every major city centre so shouldn’t be too difficult to locate. Deciding on a secondary profession will be the logical next step. There are many options available to you with enchanting, don’t limit yourself to strictly tailoring as many will suggest.

How to Enchant a Bracer
Enchanting
Enchanting an item is the first thing you will have to learn to do. One of the first items you will be able to enchant is a bracer which will provide defense. You will have to collect lesser magic essence and strange dust for this recipe. A vendor or auction house will easily allow you to purchase these items if you haven’t found them elsewhere already.
To begin you will need to go to the enchanting window from within your spellbook. From here it will be quite simple as all you will have to do is follow the instructions of this recipe to enchant the item. This is an item that you will be able to enchant right from level 1.
Disenchanting
In order to get special dusts and powders for other recipes and tasks, you may need to disenchant an item. This can be easily done by selecting disenchant from within your spellbook. After you have selected disenchant, just select the item you wish to disenchant. Depending on the item it may take a minute or two longer than you might expect. Be careful, as we stated before there is no undo once you’ve disenchanted an item.
The good thing is that when you are in need of specific items or dust for recipes or other tasks, you will be able to extremely easily get them by disenchanting the right item. Here is a guide that teaches you what items and dust you will get from disenchanting different items:
- Green Armor – Dust
- Purple Items (from level 60 onwards) – Void Crystals
- Green Weapons – Essence
- Blue Items – Shard
- Purple Items (level 60 onwards) – Nexus Crystal

However, you can of course always head over to the auction house to sell your items as well.
