Updated November 5, 2026 for the WoW Forever launch.
Level WoW Forever Enchanting by making your runed rods, training higher ranks before their caps, and progressing from basic enchants to Enchant Chest – Major Stamina at 300. This WoW Forever Enchanting guide uses a trainer-recipe route through 225, followed by enchants that require vendor formulas for the final stretch.
What to prepare before leveling
Keep bracers, a chest piece, a cloak and boots available: you can repeatedly enchant the same equipment, replacing its previous enchant. Add gloves and a shield for the later steps.
Some players dislike that enchants cannot be sold on the auction house, so they would have to sell by shouting in trade chat.
Disenchant spare uncommon or rare equipment before buying dust and essences; if this raises your skill, join the route at your new skill after making the necessary rods. Disenchanting guarantees a point per item from 2 to 20, then becomes less reliable and stops granting points at 60. Getting early levels from cheap green equipment appeals to some players because it avoids buying separate crafting materials. Keep your completed runed rods for subsequent enchants.
Enchanting can use spare equipment made with Tailoring, Leatherworking or Blacksmithing as disenchanting material. Choose your second profession around what you actually intend to craft; the broader WoW Forever Professions Guide can help you compare your options.
Enchanting rank requirements
You can train the next rank before reaching your current cap when you meet its skill and character-level requirements.
| Rank | Skill cap | Requirements to train |
| Apprentice | 75 | No skill or character-level requirement. |
| Journeyman | 150 | Enchanting 50 and character level 10. |
| Expert | 225 | Enchanting 125 and character level 20. |
| Artisan | 300 | Enchanting 200 and character level 35. |
The WoW Forever Enchanting Boost takes the material gathering and profession leveling off your hands.

Shopping list
Everything the route uses, by skill bracket: what it makes on the way (bolts, belts, cured hides) is counted once, under the material it is made of.

| 1-150 | Copper Rod | 1 | vendor |

Step by step
The recipes in the main 1–225 route are available from your initial training or profession trainers.
| Skill | Craft and approximate count | Total materials |
| 1–2 | Runed Copper Rod ×1 | Copper Rod ×1, Mote of Magic ×1. |
| 2–20 | Enchant Bracer – Inferior Stamina ×18 | Mote of Magic ×18. |
| 20–70 | Enchant Chest – Inferior Stamina ×50 | Strange Dust ×50. |
| 70–75 | Enchant Bracer – Minor Stamina ×5 | Strange Dust ×10. |
For 20–70, replace the chest enchant with Enchant Bracer – Minor Deflect if Lesser Magic Essence costs less than Strange Dust; each cast uses one essence, replacing 50 dust in the shopping list. Buy for the route you choose rather than stocking both alternatives, a preparation tip from one creator's leveling plan.
Leveling Enchanting from 75 to 150
Train Journeyman before attempting to advance beyond 75.

Buy Formula: Enchant Shield – Greater Stamina on your Enchanter because it binds on pickup; Mythrin'dir in Darnassus and Daniel Bartlett in Undercity sell it. The trainer-taught alternative is approximately 24 Enchant Gloves – Minor Haste crafts, consuming 24 Large Radiant Shards and 24 Wildvine.
Buy Formula: Enchant Chest – Major Stamina from Qia in Everlook, Winterspring, before the final bracket; she sells it to both factions.

Expert trainer
Hgarth teaches Expert Enchanting at Sun Rock Retreat in the Stonetalon Mountains, at 49.2, 57.2.
Shared trainers and reaching Annora
Both factions can learn Apprentice Enchanting from Nasalanna Windsinger in Shen'dar Village at 43.2, 43.2, or Eaysaa Brightgust in Valanaar at 59.2, 76.2, on Zephras Isle.
Annora teaches Artisan to both factions inside Uldaman; the rear entrance is at 66.0, 43.0 in Badlands. Clear the scorpions around her position to make her appear.
Preparing materials and finishing profession training near the end of the dungeon run, rather than holding up the group or making repeated visits, is one creator's recommendation.
Legacy rewards and extra recipes
The first time your account reaches Enchanting 150, 225 and 300, each milestone awards a Legacy point. Working Overtime can increase your skill-up chance by up to 20%.
Forever adds 64 Enchanting recipes beyond the Classic client's selection, including Arcane Salvager, relics, staves, off-hands and necklace enchants. Treat those as crafts to investigate alongside your leveling plan rather than buying their materials before choosing what you want to make.
