This MoP Classic Enchanting leveling guide will show you the quickest and most efficient way to level your Enchanting skill up from 1 to 600 in Mists of Pandaria Classic.
Shopping List
Below is an approximate list of materials you will need to level Enchanting from 1 to 600. These numbers are estimates and may vary slightly depending on skill-up chance and recipe availability.
Tip: When buying Essences, don't search the full name. For example, search for just "Planar Essence" instead of "Greater Planar Essence". This way you'll see both Greater and Lesser versions. Remember, 1 Greater can be turned into 3 Lesser, so sometimes it's much cheaper to buy the Greater ones.

Enchanting Macro for Faster Leveling
This macro casts the selected enchant and automatically applies it to an Enchanting Vellum in your bags, then confirms the prompt without any extra clicks.
Macro
/run DoTradeSkill(TradeSkillFrame.selectedSkill)
/use Enchanting Vellum
/script StaticPopup1Button1:Click()
How to Use
Make sure you have Enchanting Vellum in your bags. You can buy them from Enchanting Supply vendors. Don't buy them from the Auction House!
- Place the macro on your action bar
- Open your Enchanting profession window
- Select the enchant you want to craft (make sure it's the right one)
- Press the macro repeatedly
This method lets you level much faster without having to click the enchant and vellum manually each time.
Leveling MoP Enchanting
1 - 50
Blood Elf characters have +10 Enchanting skill because of their passive Arcane Affinity. An extra 10 Enchanting skill means recipes stay orange for 10 more points, so you can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for 10 more points.

Your racial passive skill
Arcane Affinity allows you to gain ten free skill ups by converting a
Large Prismatic Shard into three
Small Prismatic Shard and back again.
Only the conversion from one Large Prismatic Shard to three Small Prismatic Shards is affected by this. Therefore, you will only have the chance to gain skill-ups half of the time (since the other half of the time, you'll be converting back to three Small Prismatic Shards). The recipe will be grey, and you won't gain skill points for every craft! The chance of gaining skill points is very low. It will probably take 10-15 minutes to gain the 10 free skill points.
The
Formula: Large Prismatic Shard is sold by these NPCs, and the
Small Prismatic Shard recipe is taught by your trainer.
- 340-350
13xSuperior Wizard Oil - 39 Arcane Dust, 13 Nightmare Vine, 13 Crystal Vial
The recipe is sold by Madame Ruby at Shattrath City. It's yellow already when you learn it, so you might need to make a few more.

Use the dusts and essences you get from shattering the crystals to level enchanting up to 425, then sell the rest at the Auction House. If your level is high enough, you can get Abyss Crystal from old raid instances at Northrend. 10man is a lot easier, but I recommend Naxxramas 25man if you can handle it. (25man drops 4 epic instead of 2)
