Most guides get away with being lazy because they call it a ‘powerlevelling’ guide, so you only do stuff when they’re orange.
That’s an enormous waste.
At the top of this guide is a simple list of enchantments used to level, except this list isn’t based on the cheapest orange, it’s based off a combination of cheapness and percentages.
At the bottom is the maths, which allows you to configure the prices to your own server, to make sure you’re getting maximum efficiency out of this guide.
However, just using the top bit will still be much more efficient than follow a standard ‘powerlevelling’ guide.
Note: If I say ‘384-385’, what I really mean is skill-up number 384 and 385. (i.e, one that gets you from 383 to 384, then another from 384 to 385.)
Head to Orgimmar, and take the zepellin to Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra.
The enchant trainer is at the bottom of the curved stairs.
You’ll be able to get:
For your first ten levels:
350-360:
- Enchant Chest – Exceptional Mana
- Enchant Cloak – SpeedEither will do, they’re both the same.
When you’re 360, next time you head to the trainer you’ll be able to get:
For skill-ups 361-370:
- I find Enchant Gloves – Exceptional Spellpower to be somewhat cheaper, and use this.
- Enchant Bracers – Striking is very similarly priced, though.At 370 you can get:
Now percentages start to play a factor. At 371, Spellpower uses one fewer Lesser Eternal Essence than an Enchant Chest – Super stats. The Spellpower has a 95% success rate, so we’ll go with that. At 372 it is 90% chance, and more than 90% cheaper, so we go with that, again. You can use Striking if you’d prefer. Spellpower is 75% cheaper, so we’ll use that until the odds go below 80%, then we’ll switch.
- 371-374: Enchant Gloves – Exceptional Spellpower
- 375-380: Enchant Chest – Super StatsAt 375 you’ll get:
At 380 you’ll get:
Super Stats is only 20% cheaper than Greater Potency, so we’ll do that for three skill-ups, before switching to Greater Potency (or Intellect)
- 381-383:Enchant Chest – Super Stats
- 384-385:Enchant Weapon Greater PotencyAt 385 you can get:
- 386-390: Very even balance here. If you have the waters, I think I’d go Enchant Boots – Icewalker. If I didn’t, I’d go Enchant Boots – Greater Fortitude. They’re both good.At 390 you get:
Enchant 2H Weapon – Greater SavageryI wouldn’t recommend doing it, though, unless you can sell it for a decent price.
This guide uses a simple formula to calculate the chance of any one skill-up actually levelling you up.
It then gets the price of the mats for the enchantment (because, even if you haven’t bought them, you’re losing gold by not selling them) and divides that by the percentage chance of levelling, as a fraction.
If you use auctioneer and enchantrix, simply hover over the enchant and look at the total cost.Substitute your price as ‘x’ into this equation:
x/(percentage chance of levelling/100).The percentage chance of levelling is next to each enchantment listed.
I will list percentages down to 50%.
Also, if you want an enchant for your own gear, give that precedence, even if it’s inefficient.
And try and sell some enchants along the way, just every so often, when you happen to visit Dally, say what you’re currently levelling with in trade and try to sell a few.
