Sales of leather, since I took skinning as a Worgen to help at the very beginning, have totaled +1230g. Shards are -81g, since I haven't farmed explicitly for them, but I think the paltry investment in those I've bought have probably more than paid for themselves. Beancounter report for sales, starting 12/21/10 through 01/29/11 of Enchants currently at +5340g. My mats always come at far below AH 'market' cost. When I tab back into WoW, I'll post another 500g worth of enchants that will sell over the weekend. Now, at lvl 81 and Enchanting at 450, I have 2k gold on hand, 1000g inventory on AH, all flying mount upgrades (8-9k total there), a single player 'Guild' for a 2-tab storage 'Guild' bank and every piece of gear nicely enchanted throughout my leveling process. Haven't played since BC until starting with a fresh, never before played, Cata account.
and for your alts, well if your a tenacious planner, you could make every single gem and enchant you need for your lvl 76 balance druid, put the stuff into his bank, and then then 1 or 2 weeks later when you got some decent gear worth spending the gold on, youll have all the stuff ready that would have otherwise taken possibly hours to track down all the ppl to get if you had done it piece by piece with other peoples' professions.Ĭomment by WilyEWarlockWell, Enchanting is my primary gold mint. by having a JC and enchanter, youll never have to do this again for all the characters on the same server.

well if you didnt have these professions, every single time you upgrade a cloak or some boots, youll have to go find an enchanter, and one, possibly 2 JCs if they dont have all the gems you need. every time you upgrade an item, youre going to need to enchant and gem it. And belive me, the competition for that position is very strong.Ĭomment by cmillaregardless of how much time or gold it takes to level this profession, enchanting, along with jewelcrafting are overall the most beneficial to your character and all other alts. Looking back as a lvl 80 it was the dumbest thing i ever did in WOW. All benefit was some crappy enchants and DEd soulbound equipment. Belive me, it took me more time to get to 300 in enchanting at about lvl 50 than to train those levels. A lvl 80 has thousands of gold and can afford powerlevelling. I say never take enchanting as a profession as you level 8or any other crafting profession for that matter), take skinning and mining or herb for nobrainer cash.
Its hard to know in advance, it depends on how Blizzard balances the yield on the differnt gatering skills and material requirements for green items. With the improvements to first aid DEers not only compete with the cloth demand for bags but for bandages as well. It was better to sell cloth drops, buy leathers for the money and DE leather gloves then tailor and DE. But leathers were cheap and required much less materials than cloth items, you could buy stacks of mats for LW and disenchant with a profit on my server. You could make some serious money selling scrolls, and easy leveling for Enchanting too as you won't have to waste those enchants on useless Gear that you're going to end up vendoring.Ĭomment by 298622in WOTLK cloth was in high demand and priced well beyond the value of disenchanted dust end essences. You can make Armor Vellums and also Shoulder Enchants which (like Leatherworking) can add valuable and flexible Enchanting options. Inscription might not be a bad idea, if you have enough Herbs saved up. Blacksmith at 400 grants 2 extra Gem sockets for Bracer and Gloves, while Enchanting allows you to enchant your rings, these don't match or go together in any way, my Priest has BS / JC and it's a perfect match, and I suggest Tailoring / Enchanting. Jewelcrafting isn't a bad idea, because like Tailoring, the equipment you make can be worn by anyone, as opposed to Blackmith, which is just Mail and Plate and some hard to make Weapons. The only thing that Enchanters will benefit from Blacksmith are their Enchanting Rods. Tailoring requires cloth, which can be picked up by anyone and sold cheap. Comment by 111622Blacksmithing is not good paired with Enchanting, the Materials to make greens from Blacksmith are expensive, lots of ore, bars, and stones.
