Guide to Leveling Enchanting and Making Gold in Shadowlands
This page covers everything you need to know about leveling Enchanting in the Shadowlands expansion from 1-115, as well as how to make gold with the profession.
Enchanting in Shadowlands
Enchanting allows you to make your gear better by adding enchants to it. While previous expansions have focused on making most gear slots non-enchantable, Shadowlands advances in the opposite direction and you will now be able to enchant gloves, bracers, chests, cloaks and boots, in addition to weapons and rings!

You will also be able to enchant top end materials for other professions:
Enchanted Elethium Bar for Blacksmithing;
Enchanted Heavy Callous Hide for Leatherworking;
Enchanted Lightless Silk for Tailoring.
These materials are used, among other things, in the crafting of gear that can
become Legendary once infused with Soul Ash by the Runecarver
in Torghast. Thus, it will be in high demand, allowing you to cut a profit
as long as you sell it at the right times.
You will also be able to help out Herbalists
and Miners with the new Enchant Gloves - Shadowlands Gathering
enchant.
Leveling Enchanting from 1-115 in Shadowlands
Reaching 115 skill in Shadowlands Enchanting is quick, and you might even make a profit while leveling, as long as you pick the correct time to sell your crafts.
The trainer can be found in Oribos, in the northeastern part of the Hall of Shapes:

Remember to buy and use your enchants on the Enchanting Vellum item
you can buy from the vendor next to the trainer. This will create an item you can
use to apply the enchant later, and most importantly, sell to other players!
1-25 Shadowlands Enchanting
If you are not in a rush, disenchanting Shadowlands items is the cheapest way to get to 20.
Otherwise, craft Shadowlands Gathering until Level 10 and your choice
of
Illuminated Soul,
Agile Soulwalker and
Strength of Soul
until Level 25.
The gathering enchant is an absolute must for gatherers, and will likely sell well in the first months of Shadowlands. While not as powerful as the later 15 primary stat enchants, the initial 10 primary stat enchants are extremely cheap and should always be used until you have end-game gear at your disposal.
Total Materials for 10 Shadowlands Gathering and 15
Illuminated Soul:
75
Soul Dust.
25-50 Shadowlands Enchanting
Craft Celestial Guidance (+2 skill up per enchant) until Level 31,
Sacred Stats
to Level 40 and
Bargain of Haste or
Bargain of Critical Strike until
Level 50.
The first (and by far cheapest) weapon enchant you will find in Shadowlands is
Celestial Guidance, while
Sacred Stats marks a return to chest stat
enchants, reminiscent of WoW Vanilla's
Enchant Chest - Greater Stats.
Total Materials for 3 Celestial Guidance, 9
Sacred Stats
and 10
Bargain of Haste: 16
Sacred Shard and 68
Soul Dust.
50-80 Shadowlands Enchanting
Craft Bargain of Versatility until Level 60,
Soul Vitality until
Level 75 and your choice of
Eternal Intellect,
Eternal Agility
or
Eternal Strength until Level 80.
Soul Vitality is the highest stamina cloak enchant in the game and also
the cheapest, making it a great value option. The top end primary stat enchants,
such as
Eternal Intellect, will be highly sought after, but are also likely
to be very expensive early on, due to using an
Eternal Crystal, which require
disenchanting epic gear.
Total Materials for 10 Bargain of Versatility, 15
Soul Vitality
(likely to need at least 30 due to recipe becoming green at 70) and 5
Eternal Intellect:
5
Eternal Crystal, 20
Sacred Shard and 80
Soul Dust.
80-115 Shadowlands Enchanting
This is where leveling Enchanting becomes really expensive. While, theoretically, this should not actually lead to a Gold loss because the crafts will also be worth much more when sold, you might want to look out for when the Darkmoon Faire arrives here, for the +5 skill point quest.
Craft Tenet of Critical Strike,
Tenet of Versatility,
Tenet of Haste
or
Tenet of Mastery until Level 95,
Eternal Stats,
Eternal Skirmish
or
Eternal Bounds to Nevel 101,
Lightless Force or
Eternal Grace
to 111 and
Sinful Revelation or
Ascended Vigor to 115.
Total Materials for 10 Tenet of Critical Strike, 6
Eternal Stats,
5
Lightless Force and 2
Sinful Revelation: 20
Eternal Crystal
and 63
Sacred Shard.
Making Gold with Enchanting in Shadowlands
Making Gold with Enchanting is all about buying cheap materials or gear and
disenchanting it. Check the prices of various enchants on your server with
The Undermine Journal and craft the
most expensive enchants into Enchanting Vellums, ready to turn in a profit.
Due to the cyclical nature in which players buy Enchants for their new gear, most of your profits will come from timing the market in two steps:
- Figure out your server's raid days. Wednesday, Sunday and Tuesday nights are the typical candidates. On these days it will be easier to sell enchants for higher prices, both for people looking to enchant their gear before raiding, and especially for people wanting to enchant their shiny new gear after raiding. You can use The Undermine Journal to track the resulting price fluctuation.
- Before leaving the website, search for Enchanting material price. Take note of when they are cheapest, and aim to buy during these periods.
You can also search the auction house for Level 51+ green, blue and epic quality gear of any kind. If you find very cheap items, it is likely that they could be disenchanted for a profit, but the exact calculations on how much Gold you could get through disenchanting are best left to an auctioning addon such as TSM or Auctioneer.
9.2 Enchanting Optional Reagents
Progressing through Zereth Mortis will allow you to unlock two new
optional reagents which can be used in gear crafts: Cosmic Protoweave
and
Magically Regulated Automa Core. These are cheap to create and can add
extra power to crafted gear from any crafted source!
In the example below we use a Jewelcrafting-crafted optional reagent on an Alchemy gear craft to make it more powerful without any downsides.

You can unlock these optional reagents through a random drop in
Zereth Mortis, the Unformed Essence, which can come from any
enemy in the zone. This will allow you to start a short quest that unlocks the
usage of optional reagents in your crafts.

Enchanted Elethium Bar / Heavy Callous Hide / Lightless Silk
In Shadowlands, high-end Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring crafters all require special enchanted materials in order to create gear that can become Legendary and other expensive items.
This opens the possibility of turning a profit by simply buying the baseline materials and enchanting them before reselling them. Again, make sure to price check the materials and the enchanted material in order to make sure you will be turning in a profit!
Anima-ted Leash
The only Patch 9.1 addition to Enchanting is the
Anima-ted Leash, a new toy you can craft for 2
Soul Dust and 2
Sacred Shard. Buy the recipe for 15
Polished Pet Charm at
Keeper Ta'hult in Oribos.

Crafter's Marks (Item Level Upgrades)
Unlike most other professions, Enchanters cannot create high level
Crafter's Mark I items, and have little ways to make use of them to craft
high item level gear.
