Enchanting is a higher-level Profession, thus demanding more work than most Professions. The enchanter does not generate items directly from the skill, but instead makes existing items better. To achieve higher levels of enchanting, enchanters often must repeatedly cast enchantments on their friend's equipment, sell enchantments to other players, or offer free enchantments.

Another object for enchanters is collecting magic items to disenchant in order to gather the needed enchanting reagents. Enchanting for a guild is typically the simplest since guild members send you items to disenchant. Another alternative is spending money to purchase materials, buying trade skill items to disenchant, or using a high level character to attempt to get magic items to disenchant. Additionally, enchanters must also work with other Profession masters to make a few other reagents that are necessary for enchanting.

The "enchanting trainer" will begin with the player out with beginning-level enchanting. Inquire a guard for directions to a trainer. To begin enchanting, look for the enchanting icon in the abilities book (hit "p"). Enchantments also sometimes require specific elements that can be bought from trade merchants. Enchanters will also need a runed copper rod, and later a runed silver rod to execute certain enchantments. They will need to get this basic rod from a blacksmith (or buy it) and then enchant the rod themselves. Higher level enchants require more advanced/powerful rods.

Choose the appropriate enchantment in the enchanting window, and press the enchant icon on your action bar (or the corresponding hotkey). Then, click on the item you want to enchant. This can be accomplished upon items equipped by your character or in your inventory.

A system of enchanting items for other players is to use the non-trade slot in the trade screen window. Inform the other player to put the item they wish to have them enchanted in the trade screen window. Next, the enchanter ought to do the enchantment on the item in the trade screen. Place your pointer over the item and it will show that the item has been enchanted and that it will not be traded. You both then press the trade button, the player will receive the item back, and the enchantment will be finished. You can only enchant one item at a time in the trade screen window. Players should not give you their items to have enchanted. It should only be done via the trade screen window, without actually trading the items.

Some required ingredients can be purchased from the enchanting supplier. They sell things such as copper rods, simple wood, star wood, and may also have some rare limited supply items.
