If you prefer a hands off approach a leveling service can save time and deliver predictable results. The guide stands on its own. Using a service is optional.

MoP Enchanting 1-600: why choose Enchanting

Enchanting adds permanent bonuses to weapons cloaks bracers boots and other slots. These bonuses raise damage healing and defense. In MoP Classic the demand is stable across leveling alts fresh level capped characters and raiders.
Enchanting pairs well with Tailoring. Cloth greens are easy to craft and they disenchant into valuable dust and essences. It also pairs well with Blacksmithing and Leatherworking because crafted greens can be produced in batches and then disenchanted for profit and for your own leveling mats.
In PvE weapon enchants are a major upgrade. In PvP weapon and cloak choices help players reach stat goals or gain defensive power. Scrolls let buyers apply enchants anywhere. This keeps sales flowing every day.
The profession also enables material conversions. You can turn dust into essence and essence into shards. During MoP you can transform Ethereal Shards into Sha Crystals when the price ratio makes sense. These conversions help you control costs and protect profit.

Raid trash and boss notes for formulas

• Common strategy: clear first halls for trash, reset, repeat with a small group.
• World bosses are not required.
• Safest universal line: world drops + raid trash drops.

Open world farm loops for formulas and greens

• Vale of Eternal Blossoms — mogu ruins (north/west): high density, fast respawns, steady greens → Spirit Dust.
• Dread Wastes — kypari hives near Zan/around Klaxxi: many pulls per hour.
• Townlong Steppes — mantid/yaungol along the Serpent Spine: long loops, little downtime.
• Kun-Lai Summit — southern yaungol fire camps: nonstop pulls. Tip: rotate two camps and mail mats to your crafter.

MoP Enchanting 1-600 gold saving tips

Evaluate cost per skill point. For each craft divide the material cost by the expected skill gain. For orange recipes assume one point per craft. For yellow recipes assume one point every two or three crafts. For green recipes assume one point every five or more crafts. Pick the recipe with the lowest cost per expected point.
Substitute materials through conversions. Many eras allow lesser to greater and greater to lesser switches. During MoP convert Spirit Dust into Mysterious Essence when two dust are cheaper than one essence. Convert three Mysterious Essence into one Ethereal Shard when shards are overpriced. Shatter or compose Sha Crystals only when the price gap is wide and stable.
When to farm and when to buy. Farm legacy dungeons if your character clears them quickly. Buy mats when large stacks appear below the usual price. Weekend dumps and early morning posts often give the best deals.
Use peak activity to sell. Post high demand scrolls just before raid nights and on season reset days. List in stack size one for weapon scrolls and stack size two for popular cloaks and boots.
Sell byproducts when profitable. If shards or crystals outprice the scrolls sell the raw mats and craft later. Keep an eye on sudden spikes that follow content unlocks.
Plan crafting batches. Craft while recipes are orange or early yellow. Avoid long stretches on green. Always store enchants on vellum so you can sell them later.
