Enchanting 525 Illustrious – Levelling and Selling
By Paul Rone-Clarke | May 8, 2010
Up until the introduction of the profession of inscription, selling you enchants was a very time consuming affair.
There was no way of actually marketing your whereas, as an enchanter without standing in the middle of your local city and calling out on the trade channel A process that might often take hours and hours of your time just to sell a couple of items.
However, life is much easier now, and scribes make “vellums” which can hold enchantments which can them be marketed at the auction house like anything else. Phew!
Of course, this makes inscription a very good second choice as a crafting profession. Both provide buffs and inscription since patch 3.2 has provided a very nice set of desirable items.With Cataclysm and Enchanting 525 illustrious, expect things to change again.
Be warned though. Two crafting professions is a very (very) expensive way to play. I really don’t recommend it as a route for your first character. Perhaps roll an alt once you have a wealthy “main” to bankroll you.
It is best to analyse the market before making a decision on which enchants to make. Checking which particular items are in demand and which are overstocked.
I would then compare this to see what materials I have in my own bank to see what I should make. Taking into account that some reagents that might be on for a bargain price at the auction house.
I have, in the past, been able to buy nearly all the items I need to make my ‘chant, and sell at a healthy profit. But most of the time I need to farm or source some things for myself.
A character with two gathering professions is a boon here. Sending them out to get the items I lack. Perhaps an instance run for a rare reagent etc. If you have alts remember to level them up also. Ideally all professions, not just Enchanting, need to be level 525 Illustrious.
At the end however, you may still need to disenchant blue or even epic “purple” items for the ingredients you need. So having a guild mate who can make disenchant-able items with a crafting profession – can save a lot of time and effort.
It’s not the simplest route, but enchanting may well be the most rewarding. Speed on to Enchanting 252 Illustrious.
