Now, this post has a great name, because with such an ambiguious name, I can talk about almost anything, of course, I’m not that imaginative, so this will be about my recent thoughts while leveling the most fantastic of professions, Enchanting, from ~250 to 350 over the last two days.
Point One : Leveling Enchanting When Capped is a Pain in the Ass. (or LEWCPA, if you like acronyms)
Especially if you are a clothie, and can hardly solo Coilfang normals for mats, at least.
However, it did give me one great method to get all the crap I need. Loremaster. Chances are, that you have quests from Outlands (and near definitely from old world, but you can solo 60 instances easy anyway) to do, as documented in the Quests-Outlands tab of the Achievement frame. So, pick a zone (I started with Hellfire, as it was the lowest, and I felt like it’d be fun-ish) and look for quests. You’ll get tons of cash (or a bit, whatever) and enough greens to sate your needs (pick weapons wherever possible though, as they are rarer (as you will get green drops as well), unless you specifically need dusts) unless you need lots.
Protip! If you make an account with WoWhead, you can be a sneaky unit and use their new features to see what quests are left in the zone for you to do, by using their client and uploading data. I personally didn’t need it for the Outland or Northrend zones, but think it might come in handy if I decide to get Loremaster on Selite some time. There are also several addons that will mark questgivers on your map for the quests that you have not yet completed (I’m fairly certain Questhelper will do this, and Carbonite probably will too).
Point Two : Even Then Enchanting Still Costs a Billion Gold. (ETESCBG)
This mainly the point that states why I’ve stopped at 350 (Heroic Greens and Blues DEible) instead of 375 (80 epics DEible) to get much further past 350, you need a certain rod, in this case it is the wondrous [Runed Adamantite Rod] or, to be precise, the hellishly annoying to get mats, otherwise known as [Primal Annoyance (Might)] – now, I know this seems slightly stupid, but you’d be surprised how hard it is to find an alchemist who is willing to transmute you one of those around New Years (perhaps that is the problem).
Protip! Be a Blood Elf, they get a bonus to Enchanting, so they can use lower level enchants to level their enchanting higher! (Also we are sexy, what more could you want?)
Now, to solve the mystery of why this post is called what it is, for the 3 people who will read this thinking it is something to do with some speech a guy made in the past (not that they would read to here). This is called what it is (obviously to anyone who has done a heroic since 3.3) because of the frankly scary number of [Dream Shard]s that you get running Heroics non stop.
