Disenchanting question

[zodiac66]

I figured this was as good of place as any to ask this. I know one enchanter and they are not on that much. I have tons of garbage greens and tailored stuff that I would like disenchanted.

If I ask someone in one of the major cities to disenchant something and put it in the no trade slot, will I be assured to get the disenchanted mats back? Or do I have to actually give it to them?

[Marlous]

You actually need to give them the item, as enchanters can only disenchant items they own themselves (otherwise they could easily DE the soulbound items from somebody else, you see).

If you're a bit worried about what you'll get out of it, then make sure to be in a party with the person DEing the items for you - then you'll get to see in your chat log what that person receives, and they can't lie to you about what the results were.

[clevins]

Hmm.... Well I'd make friends with more people so that you aren't caught with no one you know being an enchanter (I'm not being snippy - WoW is a social game and it's in stuff like this where it really shows)

The other option you have is to mail the stuff to your enchanter friend and have the mail the mats back (I'm assuming you trust them). That way you don't need to worry about coordinating online times.

[caldepen]

Thats a good point. Take the time to get to know some people and they will either be able to help you or point you to someone you can trust.

Another idea is to start an alt. I try to cover the major professions with my alts. so I don't have to go begging (LW for armor pieces, tailoring for bags, enchanting for enchants and disenchanting, etc.)

[Baboon]

Yeah a disenchanter alt is nice to have. If you level him to about 275 you can disenchant most greens if I remember correctly.

[clevins]

275 will allow you to DE outland blues. 300 for epics

I did make a friend who disenchants but I always feel I am using him. I tip 10g to DE 12 items. I get some shards that sell quite well as well as the dust I need for imbued netherweave. He is also Aldor so I give him all the marks I find.

I did start an alt but it will be some time for her to get to 55, that is the level to DE most items other than epics, no?

I want to be used.

55? I hope that's a typo. :tongue:

If you get yourself the Auctioneer addon, you'll get a nifty little in-built feature caleld Enchantrix - that will tell you in the tooltip the kind of mats an item will disenchant into, the odds of each of them, as well as the required level of enchanting needed to be able to disenchant it.

Using that, I found that most of the items that I found in my early Outland days only needed 225 enchanting skill, while these days everything needs 275. So I'm guessing that 225 is needed for items up to level 64-65, and everything else up to 70 needs 275. But I never paid much attention to that bit, since I always had Enchantrix telling me what I need to know. :)

[zodiac66]

I thought I had read somewhere that the character level had to be 55 before being about to DE the greens that my main (who is 70) finds.

[Tort]

Level 55 isn't quite right.

In order to disenchant every item in the game, including level 70 epics, you need a total Enchanting skill of 300.

In order to get to enchanting 300, you need to have Artisan proficiency.

In order to train Artisan proficiency in Enchanting, your character must be at least level 35.

So if you are leveling a toon just to DE items, they need to be at least level 35.

Me too. :grin:

My rogue friend does give me any mana pots and water he finds while doing his dailies (which produce the greens he sends me to DE.) He just mails them to me and it takes me all of 30 seconds to take care of everything.

[elsegundo]

or you can sell your useless greens for the value of the disenchants. its all based on risk the buyer is willing to take, but if the item gets an 80% chance to DE into a large radiant shard, for example, sell it for the price of the large radiant shard. or if it has a 75% chance to disenchants into 3 vision dust, sell it for the price of 3 vision dust. yea more work.

[Vandir]

I think you need to get to about 300 Enchanting to disenchant every item. I personally have a rogue alt I'm working on (level 22) who is at 225 enchanting.

I certainly wouldn't feel used if my friends gave me stuff to DE. I mean, they pay me money and give me Aldor marks for doing virtually nothing? Very nice deal.

[Marlous]

I'd rather keep all my disenchanting mats than sell them - I use the Arcane Dust for my Imbued bolts, and now that I'm looking into the high-level enchants I find that I need a lot of Greater Planar Essences and Large Prismatic Shards (and I'm already cursing myself for selling a stack of 10 the other day because I had so many to spare..).

You need 275 to DE every green and blue item in existence - the only thing you can't DE is a level 70 epic, which requires 325.

Skill 300 to DE. But if you have skill 300 you might as well train Master Enchanting which can be done at level 50. You can train in Shat at the Scryers Tier or Honor Hold/Thrallmar depending Alliance/Horde.

[Marlous]

Hm, I could've sworn I saw items that required 325 - are those special epics then?

I must say, that I'm not going to train past 300 at the moment; for the sole reason that my enchanting toon is only level 35.. getting her up to 50 is not something I plan on doing for the time being. :wink:

[theshard]

Well I could be wrong as my enchanter is only level 51 at skill 292 (I have trained to go beyond 300), but being 51 he is not getting too many epics to DE.

I do use enchantrix on all of my toons though as it is a part of Auctioneer. The highest I have seen is 300 but I wasn't really paying attention to some of the new stuff out now as none of my toons are to the point of DEing epics yet. Enchanter or not.

[AJn]

nah, there isnt a level combal lvl req. i think you can be lvl 1 and disenchant all greens?

No, you cannot. Like I just said, you'll need to be at least level 275 in enchanting to be able to disenchant everything except the highest items - and you'll need to be level 35 to be able to train up to 275 in enchanting.

100% correct.

[Delleyntar]

Hell use me for disenchanting lol, but any enchanter would be nice to disenchant those garbage greens, because the mats are pretty common anyways, for higher level items its usually arcane dust, which im really sick of seeing so honestly i dont think the chanter would steal your mats......

but ask a guildie too maybe one of their alts might have a leveling enchanter and you might just need to hold on to it for a little longer ;)

[drewid]

My guildies send me stuff to DE, since my bags are always full its a pain to find space to get their stuff from the mail. I have two mail pages of boxes full of greens to DE.

10 gold and some scryer handins would most definitely make it worth it.:idea:
