For the World of Warcraft Enchanter

Enchanting gives you the ability to turn practically useless items into at least a skill gain if not a valuable product. This is why I personally call it one of the more profitable professions, despite its similarities to money-grinders like blacksmithing and tinkering.

Learn to Disenchant! 

Enchanting, one of the many tradeskills available in World of Warcraft, may also be one of the best (depending on your current situation.) Enchanting gives you the ability to turn practically useless items into at least a skill gain if not a valuable product. This is why I personally call it one of the more profitable professions, despite its similarities to money-grinders like blacksmithing and tinkering.

First of all, enchanting is easy to pick up on any new character you may start. Just take all the useless magical/green items you pick up and use them for for disenchanting; you should be gaining skill quite easily. Often times, especially if you supply the new character with money from a higher level, you'll be able to reach the maximum skill level for disenchanting by the time you have the cash to start really boosting your enchanting skill.

Work for your Guild 

Secondly, enchanting can make those very valuable materials that sell for quite a bit on the auction house. Do you ever find a worthless blue or high level green item? Just disenchant that useless item and sell the resulting shard or dust. This is a very reliable method of turning useless junk in just seconds into a profitable material you can sell on the auction house.

One thing to know, however, is that once it reaches a certain level your profits start coming from enchanting items, rather than disenchanting them. Before you enter the enchanting profession do your research and make sure your server possesses a good market. Some servers actually have an over-abundance of enchanters, so I would either recommend finding a different profession or joining a guild willing to finance your enchanting skills.

Guilds love enchanters. Practically any guild will be lusting after having at least one if not more guild-specialized enchanters. As a guild enchanter you will get all the rare recipes dropping from dungeons and the like. Just make sure the guild you are interested in doesn't already have two or three enchanters.

Dungeon Running 

Finally, even if you can't manage to get into a sweet-spot of enchanting within a particular guild, you can always just do 5-10 man dungeon runs and offer to disenchant everything nobody needs. Most groups want to roll on the resulting materials, but even then you have a good chance of getting at least something in the way of a profit in this manner.

Good luck prospective enchanters! May you find many magical items to disenchant or keep in your wanderings.

Raking in the Gold:

Valkor's Gold Guide has several suggestions for making piles of gold from your enchanting skills. For example:
  1. Keep an eye on the trade channel. When someone needs enchanting then you're the first to respond. If the deal goes well then consider adding that person to your friends list, as a possible future client.
  2. If you have some salesman in you then post your own messages in the channel, perhaps along the lines of "Enchanting Cloak - Greater Fire Resistance at (name of) bridge"
  3. If enchanting for others check to see if they have the materials needed, otherwise charge them more.
Despite the starting expenses, once you get your skill up to pretty high levels you'll be able to rake in some pretty good cash.

Now that you are one of the most enchanting gals or guys on your server you really ought to have one of those epic mounts, flying mounts, or perhaps you're ready for an epic flying mount! That takes a real chunk of change. Valkor's Gold Guide provides in-depth help with amassing piles of gold from all kinds of sources. Grab your copy and make some serious WoW cash.

Farming for Shards 

Get a rogue, get to SM, get shards. Here's how.

Enchant Farming guide (SM)

This is a video that shows you how a rogue can easily farm shards for enchants or even to just sell on ah. most people don't pair ench up with a rogue because the profession goes hand in hand with tailoring. but as a rogue it makes it so easy to farm for those expensive shards. plus its allways cool to just beat down those bosses that in earlier levels would cause you trouble.
