Enchanters can now craft Dust -> Lesser Essence -> Greater Essence -> Uncommon Shard -> Rare Shard. This allows you to use the wasted materials from disenchanting items to get what you need.

Ye gods, I hope that makes it to live. It'll be nice not to have like 3 GB tabs full of dust and only 3 essences!

I found it really funny because I just leveled a leatherworker a week ago and was thinking "Man, it's so awesome that I can upgrade leathers from Light Leather Scraps all the way up to Rugged leather. I wish I could do that with shards and stuff."

One of the gold guides I previously purchased, had an update article on the expansion enchants.

Zen Enchanting (600 skill) requires level 80, a Zen enchanter (but not a 599 skill enchanter) can combine/break up the various enchanting mats

5 Spirit Dust -> 1 Lesser Mysterious Essence
3 Lesser Mysterious Essence -> 1 Greater Mysterious Essence
3 Greater Mysterious Essence -> 1 Ethereal Shard
3 Ethereal Shards -> 1 Sha Crystal

Here is how it works in reverse:
1 Sha Crystal <- 3 Ethereal Shards <- 9 Greater Mysterious Essence <- 27 Lesser Mysterious Essence <- 135 Spirit Dust

Anytime a Sha Crystal is worth more or less than 7 stacks of Spirit Dust...
A Zen Enchanter can buy the cheaper ingredient, and convert it into the more expensive, for a profit.




Currently in LFR -- The boss dies, loot is randomly determined, the roll occurs...
If its with strangers, you'll roll on stuff you won't necessarily need, using Need if you can and Greed if you cannot.
... Later you can disenchant the gear, and get something out of it.

But in MoP -- The boss dies, the game does the roll internally and gives spec appropriate gear to those who won, or straight gold if there's nothing on the loot table you can use...
... So a lot less gear will be wasted, because you won't get something that is not for your class/spec; meaning there will be a lot less items disenchanted.

Fewer enchanting mats, means more expensive enchanting mats, and higher profits from enchants...
