Is there a good guide (or possibly even an addon) to ease or automate this process? My goal is to have all my toons as enchanters so they can utilize the self only enchants (mostly +12 spell damage to rings). I've been saving all my outlands greens and blues and have banks full of them. Any idea on estimates of how much it will cost each character? I remember spending about 1500g leveling up blacksmithing on my warrior, although I mostly just bought overpriced AH goods. Never done enchanting

i hate the hords on Nathrezim. They have some real pain in the ass players on hords side. Just had to get my feelings out :S

Edit, sorry totally didn't read straight. Anyhow here goes, The best way to do this, is as follows:

I use the Auctioneer suite, part of it is an addon called Enchantrix. This is useful because it includes a disenchant module. Bassically it pops up a dialog for every item you can DE saying "Yes, No, Ignore" and you click yes and just continue to click yes till it is all Disenchanted.

For quick enchanting I do the following macro's..


/script DoCraft(GetCraftSelectionIndex());
/click CharacterWristSlot; --Target Slot Name
/script ReplaceEnchant();

This macro will allow you to enchant any item, with the enchant you currently have selected in the Enchant window. It targets the slot you specify (Note it is currently using CharacterWristSlot)

The other part of this equation is knowing what slot to insert there. To find the correct name of the slot use this macro.


/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetN ame());


When you use this macro, you'll need to click the slot in your paper doll frame. It will list the actual name, such as "CharacterWristSlot" In the chat window.

Using these you can turn long enchanting processes into a simple one button press. Just set everyone the same macro, open up your enchant window, select the enchant you want, and click the button. Everyone will enchant, there will be zero required button presses.

****WARNING****** These macro's auto confirm to OVERWRITE old enchants. So DO NOT make a mistake and enchant the wrong gear, You'll feel stupid. I've done it. It's not fun.

If your interested in guides for what to enchant, I used this a few times, pretty good.

Why do you want 4x enchanters? Aside from ring enchants, and such I dont see much benefit. Enchanting takes so long to do since you can't just click a button and make 10x of one thing. You have to click enchant, then apply it to an item. If its already enchanted (because you are enchanging +1 something to the same gray bracers over and over) you have to click "confirm" every time. Leveling professions is tedious enough, I'd not have the patience to do it x4...

Otherwise not much point in them having professions at all... not like it's a good way to make money. I'll probably do both professions as ones with bind on create items that I want.

4 enchanters is just masochistic. Seriously.

It's good if your looking to min/max your character :) there is no real guide that I followed, just blew a crazy amount of gold getting it on all 4.

Also note that if you do it early and DE all those 60-70 quest greens on all 4 characters, it could net some nice gold :)

I'm leveling leatherworking as well cause the mats are cheap for me, and I have a friend helping me out with them. I disenchant all the stuff and level up enchanting it's working pretty well. Cheap too!
