Leveling Enchanting is going to cost you about 1430 Gold, depending on several factors. The point of this guide is to help you level in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, then spend the gold in the AH to buy the mats of the shopping list below.
If you’re not in a hurry, you can solo various instances (with your highest level player) and disenchant the loot you get to power this level up effort.
For the most part you’ll make potions, level, train. Make potions, level, train. (Train every ten levels.) It’s not hard! The real key here is to have the mats on hand.
Hang out in your capital city, where you have access to the trainer and the Auction House (at least until you have to venture out for the advanced trainers.) And when you do venture out for more advanced training, be sure you take you're bags of materials with you. You'll want to stand right there by the trainer for the training cycle.
You may need an alt to hold some of the materials, and then mail them to yourself as you need them.

Leveling Enchanting
Leveling enchanting is mostly simple – and boring. With your shopping list purchased you’ll most likely end up enchanting your own personal gear over and over to get your levels. For the most part you’ll enchant, level, train. Enchant, level, train. (Train every ten levels.) It’s not hard! The real key here is to have the mats on hand.
You may need an alt to hold some of the materials, and then mail them to yourself as you need them.
Soloing Low Level Instances
Try soloing instances and disenchanting the greens and blues (greens and blues refers to levels of gear) you get. You’ll be able to use the mats you get from disenchanting to supplement your shopping list. Once you level past the mats you get and you no longer need them, put them in the Auction House to help ease the gold cost you’re incurring.
The goal with soloing is to get enchanting to 50 by disenchanting loot. (You don’t get any level ups from disenchanting after level 50.)
Solo Shadowfang keep. Most any high level character can walk through there in 30 minutes, and you’ll get a ton of greens to enchant. When your inventory is full run to Southshore or Tauren Mill and mail all those greens to your enchanter character. (If it’s not the character you’re soloing with.)
Next solo Gnomeregan. You’ll get a lot of greens and maybe a blue or two out of there. Mail those to your enchanter character.
Disenchant all the gear you got from soloing. You should easily be able to get up to level 50, and have lots of mats left over. You probably looted some twink gear (a twink is a level 19 (or 29) character that is loaded with the best gear and enchants possible in order to run the battlegrounds). The BOE (Bind on Equip) twink gear sells great in the Auction House. Selling the extra mats and the twink gear will help offset the cost of power-leveling Enchanting.
Now that you have level 50 enchanting, visit the trainer and buy all the enchants you can get. See if the supplier has any recipes for sale, and buy them for later when you have to skill to learn them.
Other Things To Know
Keep an eye on the Auction House for enchanting recipes you’ll want to buy.
Don’t bother selling enchants in the Trade Channel. That’ll just slow you down. Just enchant your own gear, or gear you buy in the AH.
Sometimes we’ll apply yellow enchants in this guide, but we’re going to try to stay entirely in orange for the guaranteed level up.
When a trainer can no longer train you, he’ll tell you where the trainer you need is.
Crafting Ladder
Runed Copper Rod
The first item to create is a Runed Copper Rod, which is required to do enchants. This rod will be upgraded at regular intervals as the recipes become tougher and require better rods. You’ll buy the Copper Rod from a Enchanting supplier near the Enchanting trainer. It’ll cost 1 Strange Dust and 1 Lesser Magic Essence.
Enchanting to Level 70
Now apply Enchant Bracer - Minor Stamina (which you’ll have if you visited the trainer) to your own bracer (or a throwaway bracer from the AH) over and over until you ding to level 70. It’s a good idea to watch TV while doing this.
Enchanting to Level 90
Now create about 20 Greater Magic Wands. The good thing about these wands is that they usually sell in the Auction House, or you can vendor them. This should get your skill up to 90.
Enchanting to 110
Apply Enchant Cloak - Minor Protection to your cloak for about 20 levels.
Enchanting to 140
You should be able to get the Enchant Cloak - Minor Agility recipe from the vendor next to the Enchanting trainer. Apply this enchant to your cloak (or a AH throwaway) until you hit 140. You might go into the yellow here.
Runed Silver Rod
You’re going to need a Runed Silver Rod now. You’ll get the silver rod from a Blacksmith, or from the Auction House. You’ll get the recipe to make it from the Enchanting trainer. The Runed Silver Rod is required for many of the recipes we’re going to use.
Enchanting to 150
Now apply Enchant Bracer - Lesser Spirit to your bracers. (You’ll have this recipe if you’ve been training every ten levels.)
Enchanting to 155
Now apply Enchant Bracer - Lesser Stamina five times.
Also, it’s time to make the Runed Golden Rod. As before, ping a Blacksmith, or hope to find one in the Auction House.
Enchanting to 175
Apply Enchant Shield - Lesser Stamina until you ding to 175. Just buy the shield and carry it in your inventory if your character can’t equip it.
Enchanting to 180
Make 5 Greater Mystic Wands. These are expensive to make, but will probably earn a profit in the AH.
Enchanting to 204
This is a cheaper enchant. Apply Enchant Bracer – Strength until you ding to 204.
At 204 make the Runed Truesilver rod. It would be best to have already bought the materials (2 Vision Dust, 2 Greater Mystic Essence, 1 Black Pearl, and 1 Truesilver Rod). This will let you spread the expense out, and get right on making the Runed Truesilver Rod when you’re ready there.
Enchanting to 225
Now apply Enchant Cloak - Greater Defense until you ding to 225.
(As you’re doing all these steps, be sure to keep training, and keep an eye on the Auction House for recipes.)
Enchanting to 235
Apply Enchant Boots – Stamina to get to level 235.
Enchanting to 240
Apply Enchant Chest - Superior Health until you ding to 240.
Enchanting to 245
Apply Enchant Cloak - Lesser Agility until you ding to 245.
Enchanting to 265
Apply Enchant Bracer - Greater Stamina until you hit 265.
Enchanting to 285
Apply Enchant Shield - Greater Stamina until you ding to 285.
Enchanting to 300
Apply Enchant Cloak - Superior Defense until you hit 299. Congrats on getting this far!
Runed Arcanite Rod
You’re going to need to make the Runed Arcanite Rod now. It’s expensive, but you’ve already purchased your shopping list, so you should be good to go.
Runed Fel Iron Rod
Go ahead and make this too. You’re ready for the Outlands now!
Enchanting to 310
Apply Enchant Bracer – Assault to your bracers until you get to 310.
Enchanting to 315
Apply Enchant Bracer – Brawn until you get to 315.
Enchanting to 320
Apply Enchant Cloak - Major Armor to level to 320.
Enchanting to 330
Apply Enchant Chest - Major Spirit until you ding to 330.
Enchanting to 340
Apply Enchant Shield – Intellect to get to 340.
Enchanting to 350
Raiders just love Superior Wizard Oil. Make them until you hit 350 and put them in the Auction House.
Runed Adamantite Rod
You’ll have to make this to finish your training. Buy what you need in the Auction House. Have friends or guildies supply you with an Adamantite rod if possible.
Enchanting to 360
Now apply Enchant Gloves - Major Healing to get to 360.
Enchanting to 375
Apply Enchant Bracer – Spellpower until you max out at 375.
Congratulations! You have mastered enchanting. You’re going to be popular; everyone needs enchants.
