How to Disenchant Items in World of Warcraft

Last Updated: July 24, 2017

In the land of Azeroth, there are many professions that you can choose to learn. As one of these, the enchanter, you can disenchant items into their magical elements, and then fuse these elements together into a powerful enchantment for both your armor and weapons. Of course, if you wanted to share these enchantments with allies, you can place them on a scroll that they may use to enchant their armor or weapons. Enchanting may be tougher then other professions, because while others may be selling old items for coin, you will be taking their magical elements thus destroying them in the process. But if you are dedicated enough, you can create some of the most powerful enchantments ever known.

Steps

1
Find a trainer that will teach you to be an enchanter. These can sometimes be found in towns, but are more commonly found in cities. If you're still having trouble finding one, talk to a guard, choose "Profession Trainer" and then "Enchanting".
2
When you talk to the trainer, pick the option to train in enchanting.
