Artisan Enchanting: The Pinnacle of Skill (225-300)
To achieve Artisan Enchanter status, you must be character level 35 and possess an Enchanting skill of 200. Annora, located within Uldaman, is the sole Artisan Enchanting trainer.
Annora is the exclusive trainer for Artisan Enchanting, and she offers several unique recipes. It is advisable to bring sufficient gold to learn all available recipes and enough enchanting materials to reach skill level 250 during your visit, minimizing return trips to Uldaman.
Learning all recipes from Annora will cost approximately 11.79 Gold, and around 200 Vision Dust should facilitate your progression to Enchanting skill level 250.
Navigating to Uldaman
Uldaman is an instance situated in Badlands. For the most direct route to Annora, utilize the back entrance.
Entering Uldaman solo at level 35 is challenging. Forming a party or seeking assistance from a level 60 player is recommended for a smoother experience.
Locating Annora Within Uldaman
Annora will only appear after you have eliminated all hostile creatures in her vicinity! Clear the area to ensure she spawns and is accessible.
Skill Level 225 – 250: Artisan Enchanting Advancement

- 5x Enchant Boots – Stamina – 25 Vision Dust
Remember to learn all available recipes from Annora before departing Uldaman!
Consider procuring Formula: Enchant Bracer – Greater Stamina from the Auction House. This world drop recipe is exceptionally effective for leveling Enchanting from 245 to 265, or even up to 285, offering a valuable shortcut.
Skill Level 250 – 265: Mid-Artisan Leveling
- 20x Lesser Mana Oil – 60 Dream Dust, 40 Purple Lotus, 20 Crystal Vial
Crafting Lesser Mana Oil can be extended up to skill level 270 if Purple Lotus is available at a reasonable price.
Kania in Silithus, located upstairs in the Inn, sells the Formula: Lesser Mana Oil.
