How to Make Gold With Enchanting In Cataclysm Patch 4.3

Enchanting is one of my favorite gold makers aside from jewelcrafting, I guess that why I have them both on the same toon. If done right, enchanting can also be one of your biggest earners.

To start, you obviously need to get your enchanting to max level. Once you have done that you can really begin. I will be covering a lot of different methods of making gold with enchanting in the post, so the best thing to do is look for the section that applies to you, and work from there.

If you are low on gold, I would recommend doing quests or dailies to make some gold, and most of the quests you do will give you a choice of an item, in which case you would disenchant it. Do this until you have enough gold to buy things off the AH to disenchant, or mats to make enchants with.

If you do not want to do quests or dailies to get gold, you can always spam trade chat offering your services.

Once you have enough gold, the fun really begins. I start off by browsing the AH for Cataclysm blues priced below the DE value. There are a lot of people who are trying to clean out their bank or make some money off of the items they got while leveling. You will usually get Heavenly Shards out of these items, which sell quickly on the AH, and can be used to purchase popular enchants.

Another route to take is to buy mats off the AH and create scrolls to resell. My favorite scrolls to make are Enchant Weapon- Power Torrent, Enchant Weapon- Landslide, Enchant Boots- Lavawalker, and a few more. You just need to look at your servers economy to determine which ones are best. The mats can typically be bought for a lot less than the price of the scrolls, and you can make a lot of gold this way.

In between doing any of these methods, it is a good idea to create a macro to send out to trade chat offering your services. Be sure to include a DE tip price in your macro. I get a lot of business that way.
