Enchanting to difficult to level

Once enchanters get to level 75 your only option to keep leveling is weapon enchants which are already yellow and Pact ring enchants. Both of which take Veiled Crystals with the rings taking 8 each enchant.

The materials needed to just level up are insane. If you were to try leveling on the wands you get at level 85 each wand takes 3 expulsom. Which is stupid considering you already have to disenchant to get materials and then you need expulsom.

Completely agree. It's ridiculous. I did 25... 25!!! wrist enchants (green skill chance) and got nothing..... I had to burn a veiled crystal just to get to 70...

So please explain to me why a ilvl 300 wand is locked behind some insane leveling requirements? Have to get to 85 enchanting to be able to make that....

Asinine.

Ideally the enchants are profitable. So buy the materials on the AH, craft a scroll, and then sell it before using the gold to buy more materials. Though I can sympathize, I am stopped at 61ish I think, and I am having trouble deciding between DE and scrapping. Though thankfully enchanters require very little expulsom.

Scrap trinkets, disenchant everything else.

But after 5 rank 3 seal of haste and not moving off 63 I have not bothered for a couple of days so I could stockpile more mats.

Can't see myself moving much past 75 anyway till I get some better recipes from rep.

someone PLEASE explain why the hell the pact ring enchants take 8 offing crystals? it better do a WHOLE lot more than a few more secondary stats up from the other ring echant. I feel like it has to be a broken recipe. like wtf

It gets worse with Expulsom only coming form Scrapping gear.
I think this needs tweaking.
Before flasks needed expulsom and now they don’t. Before i could see the reason why alchemists could xmute Expulsom.
Now please either allow enchanters to xmute Expulsom or make it BoE like many important mats that alchemists could do in previous expansions (and make money out of it)

Ran into this problem also, having to make an insane amount of green skilled items to lvl enchanting. Currently stuck at 83. At 85 I can Craft more wands but they require a ton of mats. Enchanting leveling feels super off balance this time around

The crystal req for the ring enchants is just stupid.

And scrolls don't sell on my server. Not the common ones.

The crystal costing ring enchants are fine, imo.... Their astronomical investment cost is the only thing that's making them even somewhat profitable, at least for those insane enough to pay that much to get them... Every other enchant right now is a gigantic money pit because people are spamming them to level enchanting and just dumping them in the AH at a loss just to mitigate a portion of the costs.

The only other thing to really level enchanter with is expulsum req wands (pvp one is great for leveling the skill relatively cheaply, depending on how much value you put on expulsum)... Debating on burning the rest of mine, to go from 100-125 but it'd really set me back expulsum wise, and I don't think the weapon enchants are even profitable at the next rank for my server.
apparently according to Blizz you need to run Mythics to shard epic gear if you want to level up Enchanting past 75.

who designed this? do you even play the game?

If this is true, then I don't know what Blizzard is smoking. Since when is Mythic's required to level professions to their max level?

I got to 75 and stopped. Since I'm not that interested in Mythic content yet, this means I can't level my profession. Good design Blizzard. I'm not spending 48000 (Crystals are 6k on my server) gold to gain 1 point in my profession.

Typical Blizzard FAIL IMO.
Apparently the rank 3 seals will let you push through... but to get that it's a world quest, so have to get max level first, then wait who knows how long for one of the seal WQ's to be up... or try and rush the long grind to revered with the turtles.
Yeah I got rank 3 seal of haste from a WQ a few days ago. Stayed yellow for a bit and green till 110 or so.
It's pretty ridiculous that this is the only profession which requires you to run Mythics in order to LEVEL the craft.

I'm not talking the good gear or anything either. I'm 78 enchanting and the only efficient way to grind out at this point is to have mats that only DE off epic items, which, with the exeption of a rare titanforge, only come out of Mythic Dungeons right now.

Come on... really?

Pretty sure it's bugged, or not tested.

Happens when your games don't have betas and instead just have 8 month long marketing campaigns.
I'm at 100 and basically stuck until I get enough veiled crystals, which won't happen until the raids open and I start getting epics on a regular basis

You don't need to run mythics, just buy the crystals from another player off of the AH. Same place I get my leather, ore, and most of my herbs.

If the cost to level the profession is too high for you right now, then don't level it. Wait until the price of crystals drops to a more reasonable level or the demand for enchants increases significantly, like say once everyone starts raiding and doing mythic+ content.

Even if you stand by your argument that you have to run mythics for crystals, if you can't use those crystals to make gold with enchanting, then it is still costing you 48,000 gold per skill-up. If you aren't willing to pay that price on the AH, why are you willing to pay it by farming mythics? You should be selling the crystals rather than using them, in which case you STILL aren't leveling your profession.
You definitely get stuck around 75-100. Enchants start getting really expensive to make and all are selling at a loss on my AH.

The ring enchants must be untested. 8 veiled crystals (~50k gold per rank) is kinda crazy for +10 secondary stats and nobody is buying these. I'm at 85 right now, and I'm soon going to reach a point where I need to make ~50k ring enchants to rank up or those expulsom Wands.

Someone else reported leveling past that level with the wands, though it supposedly required rank 3 wands. As an added perk, some of the ilvl 300 wands would proc 310 epic for crystals.
Enchanting is so stupidly hard to level that I've managed to collect rank 3s of most of them, yet I haven't even been able to buy the rank 2s from the vendor. Seems !@# backwards.
