WoW Forever Enchanting guide

The beta client comparison counts 75 new and 107 changed recipes, with 49 unchanged entries and one Classic recipe marked retired. The live list contains 231 entries. The examples below show material and effect changes; Classic values remain labeled as Classic.Source: Forever Enchanting database

Runed Copper Rod replaces the two Classic dust and essence reagents with one Mote of Magic. Enchant Bracer - Inferior Stamina changes from Health to Stamina and uses a Mote. Winter's Might increases its Frost spell damage from 7 to 15, while the listed dust and essence quantities fall.

Trainers and ranks

Wowhead's Forever spell pages list the following rank training requirements and copper costs: Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Artisan. The rank descriptions set the potential skill ceilings at 75, 150, 225, and 300.

New beta trainers Eaysaa Brightgust and Nasalanna Windsinger are on Zephras Isle. Alliance city options include Lucan Cordell in Stormwind City and Gimble Thistlefuzz in Ironforge. Horde city options include Godan in Orgrimmar and Lavinia Crowe in Undercity. Annora in Uldaman is the only trainer listed for the Artisan rank spell. Wowhead Enchanting rank spell (reported).

Wowhead's Forever data does not give character-level gates for the ranks. The rank skill requirements above are separate from character level. The four rank ceilings support a stated 300 maximum, while some new recipe entries go beyond it; the available data does not resolve that gap.

Leveling Enchanting 1-300

This route uses only formulas that trainers teach or that come with the profession, from beta client thresholds and Wowhead's learn skills. Craft each one while it is orange or yellow; counts are minimums, since yellow crafts can miss. A GREEN row can take extra crafts because skill-ups are not guaranteed.

Minimum materials for the whole route are below. The formulas also need a rod in your bags: Runed Copper Rod from 1 to 125, Runed Silver Rod from 125 to 160, Runed Golden Rod from 160 to 205, and Runed Truesilver Rod from 205 to 300.

• 70 Strange Dust
• 55 Lesser Magic Essence
• 35 Lesser Mystic Essence
• 35 Greater Nether Essence
• 35 Large Radiant Shard
• 35 Wildvine
• 25 Small Glimmering Shard
• 20 Soul Dust
• 20 Lesser Nether Essence
• 15 Greater Astral Essence
• 10 Vision Dust
• 9 Copper Rod
• 9 Mote of Magic
• 5 Simple Wood
• 5 Fire Oil
• 5 Lesser Astral Essence

The GREEN rows are 7-10, 290-295, and 295-300, so those gains are not guaranteed. Train Journeyman at 50, Expert at 125, and Artisan at 200 before their rank ceilings.

Key recipes

Dust to Motes turns one Strange Dust into three Motes of Magic and is learned at skill 10. The new Novice's Practice Wand is also listed at skill 10 in beta client data. Forever Dust to Motes, Forever Novice's Practice Wand (reported).

There is a source conflict for the wand's skill: beta client data and Wowhead's Forever entry list skill 10, while Warcraft Tavern describes it at Enchanting 1.

Useful new formula examples include Enchant Weapon - Revelation at 140, Dreamstaff at 225, and Enchant Necklace - Deflection at 225. The client data lists Dreamstaff's Formula at a 220 skill requirement, while its craft is learned at 225. Forever Enchant Weapon - Revelation, Forever Dreamstaff, Forever Enchant Necklace - Deflection (reported).

Camp objects

All three Enchanting camp objects are reported in the beta files. The level-60 Lute buff values come from the client tooltip data. The shared one-hour cooldown is listed in both the camp data and the Wowhead camping overview.

The Lute uses 1 Simple Wood and 1 Strange Dust. The Salvager uses 2 Vision Dust and 1 Lesser Nether Essence. The Forge uses 1 Maker's Spark, 2 Large Brilliant Shards, and 4 Greater Eternal Essence. The advanced objects require their listed Blueprints and a nearby Campfire; each can replace the previous object. All camping features share a one-hour cooldown.

Recipe vendors and reagents

Wowhead reports that the Alliance Azeroth Commerce Authority and Horde Durotar Supply & Logistics trade profession recipes for Merchant's Favor. The Alliance list prices Formula: Enchant Weapon - Revelation at 45 Favor with a 140 skill requirement, Formula: Dreamstaff at 120 Favor with a 220 requirement, and Enchanting Certification at 240 Favor with a 300 requirement.

The certification grants the title "the Enchanter." Commerce Authority recipe list (reported).

New Forever materials in the Enchanting list include:

• Mote of Magic: three recipes; available from Enchanting vendors
• Cerulean Dye: 12 recipes; "Fermented by alchemists"
• Magenta Dye: 12 recipes; "Fermented by alchemists"
• Viridian Dye: three recipes; "Fermented by alchemists"
• Sulfuric Acid: four recipes; "Fermented by alchemists"
• Pyrite: four recipes
• Malleable Essence of Nature: six recipes; disenchanting source listed
• Fel Crystal and Torbernite: two recipes each
• Frilled Lichen, Rosecap, Stranglevine: one recipe each

The Malleable Essence tooltip names items from Hyjal Summit or Barrow Deeps as its disenchanting source. The beta writ list contains Craftsman's Writ: Enchanted Mageweave Pouch; that entry does not name a profession. Beta Enchanting recipe list (reported).

Pairing and gold

Tailoring is a direct pairing because it makes gear that can be disenchanted for Enchanting materials. Fishing can supply crates containing gear to disenchant and pearls used in some recipes. Warcraft Tavern also lists Runed Rods as tools for Enchanting and says Blacksmithing makes those rods. See Tailoring, Fishing, and Blacksmithing. Warcraft Tavern Enchanting guide (reported).

No source prices the route materials yet. Wowhead reports that Mister Graphed in Powderfuse Port sells Pyrite for 5 gold, while Pyrite sells for 1 silver on the beta; neither is a route price. Disenchanting destroys its target, so set aside gear only when you are willing to lose it. Black Market vendor report (reported).
