This guide will show you the fastest way to level your Classic Enchanting skill from 1 to 300 in World of Warcraft Classic or Season of Discovery, focusing on cost-effectiveness.

Learn Artisan Enchanting
To become an Artisan Enchanter you need to reach level 35 and level up Enchanting to 200, then find an Artisan Enchanting trainer.
How to find the Artisan Enchanting trainer
You can find Annora, the Artisan Enchanting trainer, in Uldaman. She is the only trainer who can teach you Artisan Enchanting.
Annora has a few exclusive recipes, so bring enough gold to buy all of them and enough enchanting materials to reach Enchanting 250. Otherwise, you’ll have to return to Uldaman for the higher-level recipes.
In total, you will need 11.79 gold to learn everything from Annora and around 200 Vision Dust to reach Enchanting 250.
How to Enter Uldaman
The Uldaman instance is located in Badlands and has two entrances. You should enter through the back entrance. You can’t solo Uldaman at level 35, so you’ll need to go with a party or ask a high-level player for help.
Annora’s location inside Uldaman
Annora will only spawn once you kill every mob in the area she is in! You can find her not far away from the backdoor entrance.
Leveling Artisan Enchanting

Try to hunt for Formula: Enchant Bracer – Greater Stamina at the Auction House. It’s a random world drop, but this recipe is the best to level Enchanting from 245 to 265 or even 285.
