So I am debating whether to take enchanting while leveling so I can DE items while leveling.
I am curious how significant will the gold loss be from not vendoring those items while leveling and will it cause problems getting to 80-90g for the mount at 40.
I remember getting to the gold needed at 40 was not that bad but it was with vendoring those items.
it entirely depends on how many wands you manage to sell
I wouldnât consider it a loss. Maybe an investment. Thereâs a decent chance it will delay your mount a bit so it might be a good idea to do this on a class that gets a free mount. Another option would be to play a class like Druid or Hunter that doesnât really need a mount.
Honestly if you just grind from 39-40 / 41 at say swamp of sorrowâs you should be okay with gold, one problem with Enchanting while leveling is mat stockpile unless youâre doing ulda a few times. so at 225, you can get this at 35, you should hold enough mats to get all the skills needed from the ulda trainer then good to go.
You can honestly make money from it at around 230ish. From some enchants like mount speed gloves etc, but better to give say +5 str or agi to gloves away to lowbies for free points + reputation to you being a good person, trust me that goes a long way with lowbies.
You will be losing out on a some gold, donât DE weapâs honestly more so youâll want to pick up tailoring for the DE mats from that and other random items. If you have any other questions let me know.
You have to really push enchants and wands hard to make a profit if youâre leveling it up.
If all you want is to DE stuff, just have a bank alt @ level 5. Mail all your BoEs to DE. You donât have to level it to DE anything.
Significant. Vendoring Green Items or items you craft is a significant method of gold generation.
I would push enchanting to the âdisenchant everythingâ cap. Something like 75 I think or was it 125, and then vendor everything.
Listing enchanting mats on the ah costs nothing.
It starts to get wobbly at dream dust, with it being used for crafts and illusion/brilliants being in high demand for quite awhile.
You can always farm a instance for gear to de at levelcap
I am not planning on leveling enchanting till I hit 60, all I would do is take the profession and DE and stockpile the mats on a bank alt till 60.
This is just my opinion as I leveled tailoring and enchanting together on my warlock back in Vanilla. I wouldnât recommend doing enchanting on your first character because I do see it as a pretty big gold loss. I seemed to almost always be broke on the character I did enchanting on. This time around I plan to do it on an alt once I already have an established main that can help supplement income.
But again, thatâs just my opinion.
The biggest thing that will help?
Either an add on or a quick reference list that shows vendor price of mob drops.
If youâre going to be d/e greens you donât want to be passing/tossing on the next best thing.
As someone else said Tailoring will supply you with greens to d/e so they make a great pair.
Someone else said do armor but not weapons but just fyi you have a higher chance to d/e a weapon into essences while armore will yield high dusts
The loss from enchanting isnât from sharding items. It comes from skilling up the profession. To gain points, you have to spam enchants, which means flushing materials down the trash. Other professions spam items which you can then sell or disenchant. Itâs useful to skill off wands, because these at least get you some money back.
You can minimize loss further by enchanting all of your equipment, rather than just spamming a slot, and handing out enchants to other people (dungeon runs are a good time). Theyâre probably not paying you, but putting it to use is better than flushing it. Regardless, enchanting is the roughest profession to skill up. Btw, your top trainer is in the back of uldaman. Just an fyi. So⊠get used to running uldaman⊠or prepare to come back to the place several times after 60.
Basically my plan right now is that I am leveling a warrior who will be enchanting+engineering but I dont plan on wasting my time with professions till 60. However with enchanting its beneficial to stockpile mats while leveling and gain skill from DE.
I am just nervous that vendoring all the greens will set me back too much gold that I have to wait till well after 40 to get my mount.
Pretty sure I got my mount at 41 on this guy without farming but cant remember much more than that(was mining/BS, dont think I was keeping them up to level but again not sure)
Also I know how to level and that skilling up costs. I am mostly unsure how significant the gold loss is from no vendoring greens due to passive DE during the leveling process.
This is not about making a profit off enchanting which def wont happen since it will be done before anyone really has gold.
Just a side note, I never vendor greens. I always put those in the AH because you can increase your income from them. While greens sure wasnât worth as much in Vanilla like they are now in BfA due to people wanting to collect pieces for transmog, you can still make a decent profit from them if you put them in the AH on many occasions. At least I used to. I remember being thrilled if I sold something for 40s that only vendored for 5s for example lol.
AH wonât pull good numbers, better to DE and save mats for yourself or sell the mats later
Often hybrid stat gear will sell.
Mainstat and stam.
Doubly so when itâs lvl x8/x9
Though helps if you know you bis twink gear lists.
Imagine being a druid and losing all of that gold to level Enchanting only to drop it at 265 in favor of your real profession!
I agree with that, but I was more referring to people who said they would vendor greens.
Yes vendoring is silly, sit on the DE mats for 4 to 6 months and cash in. Even smarter to recognize key twink items and good random enchants, and hold those as items to sell. People will pay double digits in gold for the ârightâ twink greens, so DE with caution
Ever hear the cliche âa bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bushâ? A lot of the time having a little money now is better than having more at a later time. Thatâs very true for server launches where gold inflates over time.
I take this route generally⊠sell all mats, rebuy if/ when needed. I run an empty bank. I donât think it applies during the opening months of launch; the one time id let the economy establish and ALL items appreciate in value. Temporary situation.
