Is it game for those who plays 24/7 with millions of gold or for everyone? How can you level enchanting to 115 with 7K price tag for eternal crystal? What the hell developers are thinking?
Just DE any purples you get from M0 and M+ ezpz.
You need 35ish eternal crystals. It’s sick. Even on classic it’s not an issue to make it to 300.
Cost me around 200k to get to max and that was with crystals at 9k
Why thank you! blush
Wait… you meant the profession. Right.
I’ll show myself out.
I leveled to 115 and I bought a grand total of 3 crystals and recouped the money with selling the resultant enchants.
Enchanting missions, m0 and m+ DEs. Blizzard doesn’t set the market price, people do. Once more people are sharding gear, the price will drop like a rock.
Why are you trying to level enchanting? Is it simply to make gold with it?
If so, are you complaining you have to spend gold to eventually make gold?
Be a blood elf 
I think I spent maybe 2k total.
Devs dont set price tags
Unless they changed things you get skill points from turning things into crystals and shards and then back into dust. You really shouldn’t need to have the crystals if you can combine and make them and get skill points in the process.
Now this was how it was set up in beta, they may have changed it but I don’t see a reason they would have.
It’s not terrible. After you get past some of the epic shards you go back into not needing them. You get at least half of what you paid for back by selling the enchants on the ah, probably more now that people are raiding.
PLUS, what I didn’t know is that enchanted things don’t have a cooldown, like leather and whatnot. Depending on the market, it was actually the only three things I could turn a significant profit over.
Lastly, blizzard doesn’t set the price tag on items. People do. They will be worth drastically less in the following weeks when there are more of them available.
My level 52 enchanter is at 108, I should hit 115 before Tuesday, and without spending any gold on Eternal Crystals. My source? I’m an altoholic…
