Enchanting: Random Power Levelling Tip

Power levelling Enchanting?
Read all the guides and ready to stand on the bridge @ Ironforge and spam “Free enchants ith mats”?

Well here are two (sort of one, but I will call it 2) random tips on a couple of spots in the powerlevelling chain.

At the point you get to learn Superior Mana Oil (310) and later Superior Wizard Oil (340) it’s very tempting to revert back to traditional enchants once they become green.

But here’s the facts.
Creating these Oils until they are grey is the most effective way of levelling enchanting in these two stretches for 2 reasons:

1. Even if you don’t have a friendly herbalist to pick you some flowers, buying them on the Auction House (and even buying the Arcane dusts now that they are a dime a dozen) is cheaper than collecting the enchanting mats to reenchant some worthless item time and again, and much more time efficient than spamming trade channel.
2. Believe it or not, even if, against all probability it takes you 100 of each to get the 20 points in each to make the recipe grey, you WILL use them.  In fact, sooner than you think, you will be making more of them.

I did have some numbers floating around at some point, but that was a long time ago, and I can’t find the calculations… but it shouldn’t be too hard for you to scratch out some numbers on the back of a napkin.

So don’t waste your time and moey doing useless expensive enchants – fill your bank slots with Oils, level quickly and always be prepared to buff for raids and instances.

Gnomer and Out!
