WoW Forever launches on 4 November 2026, and Enchanting runs from 1 to 300 in 4 ranks. The route opens on Motes of Magic, moves through Strange, Soul, Vision and Dream Dust, and ends on Illusion Dust with 5 runed rods on the way. This guide gives the route, the shopping list, the trainers, the 3 camp objects and the new Merchant's Favor formulas.

Enchanting 1 to 300 in WoW Forever: the short answer

Each rank opens at a skill gate below its cap, so train the next rank before you reach the cap: Journeyman before 75, Expert before 150 and Artisan before 225.

RankSkillsTrain atWhere
Apprentice1 to 751Any trainer in the trainer tables
Journeyman75 to 15050City trainers
Expert150 to 225125Kitta Firewind or Hgarth
Artisan225 to 300200Annora inside Uldaman

Expert costs 50 silver to train and Artisan costs 5 gold.

  • Skill 1 to 20 runs on Mote of Magic, a new reagent: Enchant Bracer - Inferior Stamina takes 1 per craft.
  • Each later enchant needs its rod in your bags, so keep every runed rod you make.
  • The 3 camp objects unlock at skill 20, 140 and 300.
  • Merchant's Favor buys new formulas, among them 5 necklace enchants at skill 210.
WoW Forever Enchanting Guide 1 to 300: Route, Mats and New Formulas

Start Enchanting: trainer, Motes and Disenchant

Learn Apprentice Enchanting from any trainer in the trainer tables, then run through this list before you craft.

  • Buy a Copper Rod and the Mote of Magic you need from the Enchanting Supply vendor who stands beside a capital-city trainer.
  • Craft the Runed Copper Rod.
  • From skill 10, the recipe Dust to Motes turns 1 Strange Dust into 3 Mote of Magic.
  • Disenchant every green item you do not need.

Disenchant comes with Apprentice Enchanting and turns items into dust, essences and shards. Tailoring is the usual pair, because its cloth crafts give green items to disenchant and neither profession needs a gatherer.

The Legacy system adds profession perks. Working Overtime raises the chance of a skill point, and Dedicated Study adds 1 skill to your lowest tradeskill. The Legacy system guide lists every perk.

The professions guide covers the other trades, and the Cooking guide has the matching 1 to 300 route for the secondary profession.

Enchanting at 300 on your level 60 character

Order Enchanting on its own, or add it to a 1 to 60 order and it levels along the route.

Enchanting 1 to 150: Motes, Strange Dust and the silver rod

This route takes the cheapest orange recipes. A count is the number of crafts a step needs; a step marked about runs yellow and takes a few more. Recipe colours follow Classic.

SkillCraftMaterials
1 to 21 Runed Copper Rod1 Copper Rod, 1 Mote of Magic
2 to 2018 Enchant Bracer - Inferior Stamina18 Mote of Magic
20 to 7050 Enchant Chest - Inferior Stamina50 Strange Dust
70 to 10030 Enchant Bracer - Minor Stamina60 Strange Dust
100 to 1011 Runed Silver Rod1 Silver Rod, 3 Strange Dust, 4 Lesser Magic Essence, 1 Shadowgem
101 to 1109 Enchant Cloak - Minor Protection18 Strange Dust
110 to 130about 32 Enchant Cloak - Minor Protectionabout 64 Strange Dust
130 to 15020 Enchant Boots - Minor Stamina80 Strange Dust

The route has 3 swaps for a bracket where your auction house sells another material for less.

  • Skill 20 to 150 on Lesser Magic Essence takes about 310 of it. Craft Enchant Bracer - Minor Deflect, then Enchant Chest - Minor Absorption, then Enchant 2H Weapon - Lesser Intellect, whose formula a vendor sells.
  • Greater Magic Wand takes 1 Simple Wood and 2 Lesser Magic Essence per craft and levels skill 70 to 110 on every craft.
  • Enchant Bracer - Lesser Stamina with 1 Soul Dust per craft replaces the Enchant Boots - Minor Stamina step from 130 to 150.

Enchanting 150 to 225: Soul Dust, Vision Dust and 2 oils

Both oils need a formula from a vendor. Buy the Minor Mana Oil and Lesser Wizard Oil formulas before skill 150, because the oils carry skill 151 to 165 and 201 to 220.

SkillCraftMaterials
150 to 1511 Runed Golden Rod1 Golden Rod, 1 Iridescent Pearl, 1 Greater Astral Essence, 1 Soul Dust
151 to 16516 Minor Mana Oil (vendor formula)16 Soul Dust, 32 Maple Seed, 16 Leaded Vial
165 to 18522 Enchant Boots - Lesser Agility22 Soul Dust
185 to 20015 Enchant Bracer - Strength15 Vision Dust
200 to 2011 Runed Truesilver Rod1 Truesilver Rod, 1 Black Pearl, 1 Greater Mystic Essence, 1 Vision Dust
201 to 22025 Lesser Wizard Oil (vendor formula)25 Vision Dust, 50 Stranglethorn Seed, 25 Leaded Vial
220 to 2255 Enchant Cloak - Greater Defense5 Vision Dust
  • Enchant Bracer - Lesser Strength with 14 Soul Dust replaces the Minor Mana Oil step. Its formula is sold by a vendor.
  • About 35 Enchant Bracer - Strength with about 35 Vision Dust replaces the Lesser Wizard Oil step. It stays yellow from 200 to 220, so expect a few extra crafts.

Enchanting 225 to 300: Annora in Uldaman, then Dream and Illusion Dust

Artisan is the only rank with a dungeon trip. Annora stands inside Uldaman in the Badlands and teaches Artisan to both factions. Uldaman is a Classic dungeon, and the dungeons guide lists it with the other beta dungeons. Enter by the rear entrance at /mappin 1418 66.0 43.0 and kill every mob in her room, and she appears.

Train what you need before you leave. Several Artisan recipes are taught only by her, such as Enchant Chest - Stats, Enchant Weapon - Greater Striking and Enchant Bracer - Greater Strength.

SkillCraftMaterials
225 to 2305 Enchant Gloves - Agility5 Vision Dust
230 to 2355 Enchant Boots - Stamina10 Vision Dust
235 to 25020 Enchant Chest - Superior Stamina60 Vision Dust
250 to 26520 Lesser Mana Oil (vendor formula)20 Dream Dust, 20 Purple Lotus, 20 Crystal Vial
265 to 29432 Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina (vendor formula)192 Dream Dust
294 to 2951 Runed Arcanite Rod (vendor formula)1 Arcanite Rod, 1 Golden Pearl, 10 Illusion Dust, 4 Greater Eternal Essence, 4 Small Brilliant Shard, 2 Large Brilliant Shard
295 to 3005 Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense (vendor formula)40 Illusion Dust

4 steps need a vendor formula. Kania in Silithus sells the Lesser Mana Oil formula. Daniel Bartlett in Undercity (Horde) and Mythrin'dir in Darnassus (Alliance) sell the Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina formula. Lorelae Wintersong in Nighthaven, Moonglade sells the Runed Arcanite Rod and Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense formulas, so buy both in 1 visit.

  • Instead of the Lesser Mana Oil step, craft Enchant Bracer - Greater Strength from Annora: 1 Dream Dust and 2 Lesser Nether Essence per craft, orange to skill 260.
  • Keep crafting Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina through 300 if Dream Dust costs less than Illusion Dust.

Launch check. The beta stops at level 30, so Artisan Enchanting has not been trained at level yet. We take 225 to 300 on live realms in the week of 4 November and update this table.

Blacksmiths make the Silver, Golden, Truesilver and Arcanite Rods, so buy them from the auction house early. The gold economy guide covers how professions earn gold, crafted wands included.

New in Forever: camp objects and Merchant's Favor formulas

Enchanters place 3 camp objects. The trainer teaches the Enchanted Lute, and the Arcane Salvager comes from a Blueprint. Each object needs a Campfire nearby and shares the 1-hour camping cooldown, and the camping guide has the campsite rules.

ObjectSkill and materialsWhat it does
Enchanted Lute20: 1 Simple Wood, 1 Strange DustArmor, all stats and resistances for players sitting nearby; it does not stack with Mark of the Wild
Arcane Salvager140: 2 Vision Dust, 1 Lesser Nether EssenceMore efficient disenchanting, plus the Lute buff
Arcane Forge300: 1 Maker's Spark, 2 Large Brilliant Shard, 4 Greater Eternal EssenceThe workspace for recipes that need it, plus the Lute buff

Merchant's Favor buys 39 Enchanting formulas. Alynsia sells them to the Alliance at the Azeroth Commerce Authority camp in Redridge Mountains. The Horde camp is Durotar Supply and Logistics, outside Crossroads in The Barrens. You earn Favor by filling Waylaid Crates and handing them in at those camps.

The necklace enchants and Enchant Off Hand - Wisdom are new slots in Forever. 2 more off-hand enchants, Superior Intellect and Excellent Spirit, are new at skill 300 as well, and we check where they sell on live realms in launch week.

Enchanting Certification costs 1,000 Merchant's Favor and gives the title the Enchanter. The list also covers staves, wands, off-hands and the totem, libram and idol class relics.

Where to learn Enchanting

Mulgore, Elwynn Forest and Dun Morogh have no Enchanting trainer, so Tauren, Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes train in their capital. The 2 trainers on Zephras Isle, home of the Skyborne, serve both factions.
