Anyone Can Make Gold Using Enchanting For Disenchanting – Here’s How:

Enchanting can be a very lucrative career profession. The only thing I hate about it is standing around in a major city spamming the trade channels with: level 435 ‘chanter LFW can do [some enchant] [another enchant] blah, blah, blah. Only to have to get into a 2 minute conversation with everybody anyway after linking my stuff and what the mat price is and what I charge for it. It can really be a hassle. But you can still make a TON of gold with enchanting and never enchant anything but your own gear.

Just like fishing and cooking are great for new toons and making bags is perfect for the mid-level characters, there’s just no beating enchanting for making the big bucks for your epic flying mounts. Questing in Northrend will land you the most amazing greens, and I would personally swear that they drop twice as often as in Azeroth & Outlands. Most of these greens are better than the level 70 dungeon gear from before the WotLK patch. However, because of the stats most people need on their items, about 50% of these drops are completely worthless. I mean you can’t sell them in the auction house at all. You can’t even give them away. So the greens in Northrend can be pretty hit-or-miss. They will either leave you agonizing over whether to equip it, sell it at the ah, or vendor it away.

Don’t worry about that if you have enchanting. The great thing about this technique is that you don’t have to mess around with maxing out your enchanting skill to make money at it. At skill level 375 you can disenchant everything in the game.  Combine your DE work with just putting minor enchants on your own gear as you go from 70-80 and you can easily hit skill level 400-425 and sell most of what you DE along the way.

So you can do this without having to spend a ton of money leveling up your skill. The greatest thing about disenchanting items for money is that there are NO auction deposits for enchanting mats. Which means you can go for the highest price possible and re-list them all 100 times if necessary to get the very maximum price. On top of that, if you run just a few heroic dungeons you can easily farm enough Dream Shards to buy all of the top end recipes for yourself or your guild mates. So the materials are in high demand no matter what your server. Plus, at the level of the people buying these materials, money has usually ceased to be a big deal, because you can easily earn a few hundred gold just off of trash items in a few hours grinding, or from dailies.

So when you begin dreaming about that flying mount – you might go retrain in enchanting and spend a couple hundred gold getting it leveled up. After about three weeks of casual questing in Northrend, a famous nub I know was able to disenchant enough mats to sell the whole pile on AH for well over 2,500 gold, enough for half her flying mount (and she’s only level 73 so far). So whether you are farming, questing or raiding, enchanting is one way to make some serious dough without having to advertise.
