Why Enchanting should be your main profession

Assuming you are a Completist, that is, you are after every achievement in the game, Enchanting should be one of your two primary professions. Here is why:

1. Enchanting scrolls are an excellent source of money. They cost 1s to list and players seem willing to pay a lot of money for convenience.

2. You'll have access to a disenchant in every dungeon run you do. This is especially relevant if you are doing Burning Crusade dungeons and the like.

3. Every time you get an upgrade, you can Disenchant your own gear.

4. As a Completist, you are going to be doing every quest in the game. Instead of getting a few silver from vendoring a quest reward, you can get a Large Brilliant Shard or something similar, which can sell for 50g.

5. Also as a completist, you are going to be running every instance in the game, probably many times. Again, being able to DE everything will make you a ton of money and giving you a steady supply of older enchanting materials that can be difficult to obtain in bulk quantities.

6. As an achievement collector, you'll eventually be exalted with lots of obscure factions. Check out this list:

Very few players have exalted with many of these factions. Often, you will be one of the few on your server with the pattern and that means you can charge monopoly prices on the enchants that are available from faction reputation vendors.

Remember to Share (300 Toys)!

This one has taken a while. I finally picked up 300 toys (and thus the mount for the achievement) after starting to seriously work on my Archaeology achievements for the first time. I've been doing the fortnightly Legion archaeology quests for a while (and thus had 800 skill) but I completely ignored this profession in earlier expansions as it seemed seriously boring. With some knowledge and a good addon, it's much better however. Some tips if you're just starting to work on archaeology: 1. Download the "Archy" addon. This addon does several things: first, it shows you the location and completion status of all digsites in the current continent. Second, it automatically sets the closes one as a waypoint for TomTom. Third, it indicates when it's possible to solve an artifact with and without a keystone, so you don't have to constantly check your archaeology screen. On top of that, the distance indicator shows when you are in the correct range from your ...

Beta update - best achievement EVER!

It probably won't make it to live. But check out this feat of strength from the beta:
 8/4/24: [Into the Storm]! I FINALLY had this one pop after over a month of waiting. 8/21/24: Taivan! I finished this with less than a day before TWW came out. 8/28/24: Lots of TWW achievements. I got 80 after three days and maxed out enchanting and did the campaign up until it's blocked. 9/12/24: [Sojourner of Azj-Kahet]! This one took a fair bit of time but was generally fun to do. I'm going to work on the other ones now, zone by zone. 10/20/24: [Loremaster of Khaz Algar]!
