Enchanting leveling guide

Enchanting in Classic Era runs from 1 to 300 on dust, essences and shards from disenchanting green and blue items. Tailoring is a good partner, because it makes cheap items to disenchant. The route below uses trainer formulas plus a few from vendors. Counts are approximate: a recipe can turn green a few points earlier or later.

What to gather or buy

Material	About
Strange Dust	125
Greater Magic Essence	12
Lesser Astral Essence	25
Soul Dust	122
Vision Dust	250
Dream Dust	360

Each Runed Rod also needs the plain rod from a blacksmith and a few essences, pearls or shards, as shown in the route. Simple Wood and Crystal Vial come from the trade supplies vendor.

• Disenchanting gives no skill, but it is the only source of materials, so disenchant every green item you do not need.
