Enchanting Guide for Midnight

As usual, Enchanting will be responsible for disenchanting items into dust and shards such as Dawn Crystal and using those to create enchants that improve gear stats such as the new Enchant Ring - Eyes of the Eagle ring enchants, or profession stats with the likes of Enchant Tool - Ren'dorei Ingenuity.

Helms and shoulders can now be enchanted with tertiary stats and effects that activate when you kill enemies through new enchants such as Enchant Helm - Empowered Rune of Avoidance and Enchant Shoulders - Amirdrassil's Grace.

Enchanters also create combat wands such as Magister's Grand Focus, cosmetic items such as Gleeful Glamour - Blood Elf, which return with Midnight versions using new materials and counting as new first crafts, consumable oils such as Thalassian Phoenix Oil, House Decor like Ensorcelled Broom, and their own Profession Tools, which include the powerful Runed Dazzling Thorium Rod!

If you are a Horde player, Blood Elf will grant you +5 skill points, while Alliance players can be Kul'Tiran for +2 skill points.

Enchanting can make great use of all four stats, but you might want to focus on specific stats with different Enchanting specializations. We go into detail with Enchanting stats and the gear you can use to boost them in the specialized guide below:

Increasing your skill is done by crafting items that grant skill points as usual, and in order to be efficient, we recommend trying to get as many first-craft bonuses while leveling as possible, which also grant experience if you are not at maximum level.

You can also level from disenchanting items until you hit 15 skill, which can be useful early on while all materials are expensive in the Auction House, but make sure to get the first-craft bonuses in between before they stop giving skill ups!

Besides learning basic enchants from the trainer as you level, remember to also pick up Gleeful Glamour - Blood Elf and the many other Glamours crafts from Jennara Sunglow whom you can find at the top of a spire just west of the Enchanting trainer.

You will be able to track all weekly and one-time sources of profession knowledge with Myu's Knowledge Points Tracker, which has been converted to an addon in Midnight!

There are also eight treasures around the world that you can loot to gain up to 24 extra knowledge. You can find them all easily in-game with the aforementioned addon.

The best specialization for you depends on what your goals are. Disenchanting Delegate and its sub-nodes are the best choice for players looking to get personal benefits out of the profession, as investing here will allow you to disenchant unused bind on pickup gear for much higher profits than if you were to sell them.

You can specialize into disenchanting epic, rare, and uncommon gear and we recommend investing into Shard Supplier for rare gear disenchanting if you want to mass disenchant cheaply crafted rare gear from the various professions, or into Crystal Collector for disenchanting Darkmoon Decks or your own gear on characters seeing a lot of gameplay.

Notably, you will be able to convert one Dawn Crystal into at least three Radiant Shard right away in Midnight through the new Dawn Shatter craft, and further convert each these shards into at least three Eversinging Dust with Radiant Shatter. This means the strange situation we had in War Within where dust was vastly more valuable than epic crystals midway through the expansion will not be repeated, and there will be massive value in crystals all the way throughout!

The Transitories, Tonics, and Tools tree can help you with optimizing your oil crafts through the Excellent Expendables node, allow you to create better Wands and Enchanting Rods through the Outstanding Outfits node and its sub-nodes, and also helps making better illusions with the Mastering Mirages node, although this node will not teach you the Gleeful Glamour items this time.

Afterwards if you want to make your crafts more efficient, put points into Spellbound Shatterer, which increases the temporary stats you get from Shattered Essence after shattering a Midnight Mote item with Shatter Essence, and also your potential throughput when creating reagents with the Multicrafting Meticulously node.

Finally, the Elevating Equipment tree is all about learning and gaining skill when doing enchants, with the left side being dedicated to Thalassian enchantments, the bottom being about boosting Amani enchantments, and the right side being about increasing you skill with Haranir enchantments. You can enchant a full set of gear with enchantments that are exclusive to one of the three faction trees, as all enchantment types are evenly distributed among the three.

Ideally, Enchanting allows you to convert cheap materials or unwanted gear into expensive enchants, Wands, Rods, and other products. Due to its commodity nature of enchants, it is very likely that the market will quickly get loaded with enchants that are only marginally more expensive than the materials used to create them.

Until you fully max out skill, gear, and knowledge for your desired crafts, you will be reliant on Concentration to get maximum ranks out, which can quickly be exhausted every day, so make sure to create some alts to increase your production cap while it is still very profitable to do so! Even later on those can still be useful as they will be able to create maximum rank items more cheaply than the guaranteed method, which requires using the best reagents available.

We have a specialized guide for Midnight gold-making below, which contains a gold-making tier list and goes deeper into techniques and habits for successful gold making, as well as websites and addons that can help you on your journey!
