Enchanting in WoW Forever
Enchanters put lasting magic on weapons and armor, so a good piece of gear gets better. They get their materials by breaking down magic gear they don’t need. In Forever they also craft gear of their own for spellcasters.
Good first profession? Not on its own. It eats a lot of magic gear to break down, so it’s easier with gold, or with Tailoring to make gear to break down.
How it works in Classic.
What it makes
- Enchants
- Lasting bonuses for weapons, shields, cloaks, chest, bracers, gloves and boots.
- Wands, staves and off-hands
- Gear for spellcasters, from a Lesser Magic Wand early on to a Greater Eternal Wand near the level cap.
- Relics
- For the relic slot that Druids, Paladins and Shamans use, such as a Paladin’s Libram of Invocation.
- Wizard oils
- Coat a weapon for a short boost to spells.
- Enchanting rods
- The tools you need to enchant.
Pairs with
Nothing to gather: enchanters break down magic gear they don’t need into materials, called disenchanting. Tailors make plenty of gear to break down, so the two go well together.
Who it suits
Every class can use enchants. The gear Enchanting makes suits some classes more than others.
- MageFights from range with the wands, staves and off-hands you make.
- PriestShoots a wand to save mana between heals, and carries staves and off-hands.
- WarlockShoots a wand while curses do their work, and carries staves and off-hands.
- DruidUses relics, which for a Druid are idols.
- PaladinUses relics, which for a Paladin are librams.
- ShamanUses relics, which for a Shaman are totems.
