Alchemy Blacksmithing Enchanting Engineering Inscription Leatherworking Tailoring. In contrast to most other professions , Enchanting offers two different methods to earn money.

The first method is to buy items from the auction house, disenchant them and sell the resulting materials, while the second method is to actually sell enchantments.

Very rarely it's also possible to sell the service of disenchanting for a small fee. This method follows the usual pattern for most professions, scan the AH and compare buy and sell prices.

The general idea is to buy a magic item, disenchant it, and sell the resulting materials for a higher price than the items price. This calculation can be done manually, but the mods Enchantrix or Fizzwidget's Disenchant Predictor automate this, and include the current AH value of items in their disenchanted form in the tooltip.

Unfortunately, on most servers, there are a lot of enchanters trying to make money using this approach, therefore the spread between item price and disenchant value is usually rather low.

This is basically the same with all items traded on the AH - supply and demand may fluctuate, a good feel for the market dynamic helps gaining profits. The presence of a lot of enchanters can affect serious impact on the sale prices, and thus profits, of enchanting materials due to competition. Tools such as auctioneer assist the player by suggesting prices at which an item will sell.

Several enchanters competing with one another can quickly drive the price of a material to a level that fails to make a profit for disenchanting. If the material is common, such as Strange Dust, it can be very difficult for the market to recover a profitable position due to constant supply.

Disenchanting involves some randomness. Items generally do not disenchant into a fixed number of materials, rather there are probabilities involved. Particularly the chance that green items may produce shards is interesting.

Therefore, even when the split is small, it's possible to make a profit with these lucky disenchants. Some players who are not enchanters themselves like to keep all items they collect, and then have them disenchanted. This is not a source of substantial income though.

Selling enchantments is possible, but rather difficult. It used to suffer from the unique problem that buyer and seller must meet in person, however, with the advent of Inscription , Armor Vellum and Weapon Vellum can be made, allowing enchanters to sell enchantments in the AH.

The second problem is that most enchants don't sell well. The low-level enchants are not good enough to be worth the effort, most players start enchanting their gear only after they hit the level cap.

Even then, only the rare, top-of-the-line enchants can be sold with a profit. The problem with these recipes is that they are usually available only through running the harder instances , which in turn usually requires membership of an endgame raiding guild. In summary, for players planning to be member of a raiding guild, enchanting is a good opportunity to get extra income.

For solo or casual players though it's difficult to obtain the rare recipes, and thus hard to really earn money.
