Enchanting in World of Warcraft: Forever

262 recipes in Forever, 33 of them (13%) new since Classic Era, reaching Brilliant Wand, Idol of Swiftness, Idol of the Ursine Twins. What Enchanting makes, what it buys, the cheapest way through each skill bracket, what of it sells, and every recipe with its reagents.

The enchantments themselves, which make no item, are grouped by the slot they go on with their reagent costs: every enchant by slot.

Enchanting adds permanent bonuses to gear and disenchants unwanted items into the dusts, essences, and shards it needs. In this version of the game an enchant is applied through a trade window, not sold as an item, so what reaches the auction house is the materials.

That makes Enchanting materials one of the purest commodity markets in the game: every green that drops is a potential dust or essence, and the prices track how many people are leveling and how many are raiding.

What Forever changes about Enchanting

Enchanting in Forever makes things, which is the change. In Classic Era an enchanter’s output was an effect applied through a trade window and a handful of wands and oils. The Forever list adds items with their own names, Brilliant Wand, Torch of Light, Steadfast Libram, Libram of Infusion, off-hands and relics a caster can carry.

That means an enchanter now has something to list. The enchants themselves still go through the trade window, so the materials remain the bulk of what the profession puts on the auction house.

The highest-skill recipes new to Forever: Brilliant Wand (280), Idol of Swiftness (270), Idol of the Ursine Twins (270), Libram of Infusion (270), Steadfast Libram (270). Everything new is also listed under New in Forever.

Buys most

The reagents the most recipes call for, with the units those recipes consume between them. 2 of them are made by Enchanting itself, so a crafter climbs on their own output.

Leveling Enchanting in Forever

Enchanting is levelled on disenchanted greens, which means either running dungeons or buying cheap uncommon gear off the auction house to break down. On a fresh economy the second is the better deal for about a week, while people list greens for less than their materials are worth.

The cheapest craft per bracket below counts reagent units; for an enchanter that measures dusts and essences, and the cheap route through each bracket is usually the wand or the oil rather than the enchant.

The cheapest craft in each bracket, by reagent units

Fewest reagent units is not always cheapest in gold; it is the measure that holds on every market, scanned or not. The crafting table ranks every recipe by what it costs and what it makes at the current medians.

What a enchanting sells

Dusts, essences and shards are the purest commodity in the game: every green that drops anywhere is a potential unit of supply, and demand is every character who wants a stat on a weapon. Prices track how many people are leveling and how many are raiding, and little else.

The new wands and off-hands are a small, high-margin line on top of that, because their reagents are the same dusts and essences the enchanter already has, and because a caster who needs one needs it once.

Does Enchanting sell on the auction house in Forever?
The enchants do not; they are applied through a trade window. The materials do, continuously, and Forever adds wands, off-hands and librams that an enchanter makes as items and can list.
