Garrisons and Professions: Spotlight on Enchanting & The Enchanters Study

This post in one in a series of posts that will be in regards to garrisons and professions in Warlords of Draenor and how they interact with each other, and on their own.

Unlike previous expansions professions are much more involved this expansion, even if somewhat simplified at the same time.  Being tied to buildings in the garrisons it not only opens up more options but different options to either supplement a profession you already have or fill the role of a profession you do not have.

Note:  As warlords is still in beta, it is possible some of this information might change before the expansion is released.

Learning Draenor Enchanting:

You will receive a quest early on from a draenei chest for alliance or a bladespire chest for horde that will start a quest line.  Once you've completed the small quest line you will receive Draenor Enchanting and Garrison Blueprint: Enchanters Study, Level 1.

Draenor enchanting, once clicked on and learned, will boost your maximum enchanting skill to 700 and will teach you all of the following skills. Secrets of Draenor Enchanting and Temporal Crystal, which you should start doing immediately as they are cooldown abilities, as well as the patterns for Breath of Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery, Multistrike and Versatility for rings as well as Breath of Versatility for the neck.

All other enchanting patterns listed above but not listed as being learned from the manual will need to be purchased with the currency you create from the daily cooldown for secrets of draenor enchanting.

If you have the enchanters study in your garrison there will be Yukla Greenshadow (horde) or Ayada the White (alliance) whom you can purchases the plans from right there in your enchanters study.  If you do not have an enchanters study on your garrison you can travel to your hub near ashran and purchase the plans from the appropriate vendors there.

There are no items that you need both the enchanters study and the enchanting ability to make so as an enchanter you will be able to make everything with or without an enchanter study, when the time comes for you to make that decision.

Once you have learned everything there is to learn, you can continue to make secrets of draenor enchanting to purchase a small pouch of coins.  It remains to be seen if this will be worthwhile come live but it is nice to see that there might still be a reason to keep doing the daily secret cooldown after the 54 days it would take to purchase all the patterns.

Spotlight on The Enchanters Study:

This section will contain two parts.  One if you have enchanting as a profession, one if you do not.

If you have Enchanting as a Profession:

Level 1 Enchanters Study:
Once you complete the small quest, mentioned above, that will award you the garrison blueprint for a level 1 enchanters study and you will be able to build your enchanters study.
A level 1 enchanters study will take 1 hour to build and requires 150 gold and 50 garrison resources.
A level 1 enchanters study allows you to produce 7 work orders at a time.

Level 2 Enchanters Study:
A level 2 enchanters study requires you to have a level 2 town hall.
A level 2 enchanters study requires you to have set up your talador outpost or be level 96.
A level 2 enchanters study will take 1 hour to build and requires 300 gold and 100 garrison resources.
A level 2 enchanters study allows you to produce 14 work orders at a time.
A level 2 enchanters study allows you to assign a follower with the enchanting trait to work there.

The blueprint for the level 2 enchanters study is available for purchase, after you meet the requirements listed above, from Rezlak (horde) or Sparz Bolttwist (alliance) in your garrison town hall for 750 gold.
Alternatively you can purchase the blueprints with an Outpost Building Assembly Notes item from Torgg Flexington (horde) or Kinkade Jakobs (alliance) at your ashran base.
Two copies of Outpost Building Assembly Notes can be obtained free from questing by completing the outpost quest line, in both Spires of Arak and Gorgrond.  This could effectively save you 1500 gold.

Level 3 Enchanters Study:
A level 3 enchanters study requires you to have a level 3 town hall.
A level 3 enchanters study requires you to have completed the [Working More Orders] achievement and be level 100.
A level 3 enchanters study will take 1 hour to build and requires 500 gold and 300 garrison resources.
A level 3 enchanters study will allow you to produce 21 work orders at a time.

The blueprint for the level 3 enchanters study is available for purchase, after you meet the requirements listed above, from Rezlak (horde) or Sparz Bolttwist (alliance) in your garrison town hall for 1000 gold.

Work Orders:

Enchanting study work orders require 5 draenic dust to produce and each order takes 4 hours to finish.  It will award you with a temporal crystal or temporal crystal shards depending on your current enchanting skill level and sometimes one or more sorcerous elements needed for enchanting.  Having a higher level enchanters study, which allows you to produce more work orders, means you need to log in to check less often.  Orders will stack up if you are not online for a while and you will not miss out on anything. So if you have a 21 order queue you would only need to collect your products and place new orders every 84 hours, which is three and a half days, making this fantastic for those alts you sometimes forget to log into.

Working Follower:

Once your enchanters study reaches level 2 you will be allowed to assign a worker to help there.  The worker must have enchanting as a trait as not just any worker can be assigned to any building.  A follower working in any garrison building does not gain experience.  Consider leveling your follower first before placing them as a worker in one of your buildings.  Workers at the enchanters study have a small chance to increase the materials you get when filling work orders, depending on their level, the higher the better of course.  Also, if you have a follower working at your enchanters study you will be able to craft illusion scrolls for your weapons that will give them a different look than their actual enchant.

List of past illusions you can put on your weapons are as follows.  They all have the appearance of the original enchant of old.

Illusions for All:

Agility, Battlemaster, Beserking, Blood Draining, Crusader, Elemental Force, Executioner, Fiery Weapon, Greater Spellpower, Jade Spirit, Landslide, Lifestealing, Mending, Mongoose, Power Torrent, Rivers Song, Spellsurge, Striking, Unholy

Shaman Only:

Earthliving, Flametongue, Frostbrand, Rockbiter, Windfury.

New:

Hidden, Poisoned (rogue only)

Pros to having the profession:

Increased temporal crystal generation to make enchants faster, chance for additional materials from work orders. 

If you do not have Enchanting as a Profession:

Most things will remain the same with a few notable exceptions.
You will not be able to build an enchanters study on your garrison until you level your town hall to level 2.
Once you have a level 2 town hall you learn all level 1 profession building blueprints, so do not worry that you were incapable of doing the quest.
You will be able to make all breath ring enchants, luminous shards, enchanted dust, and mark of the shattered hand weapon enchant with a level 1 enchanters study.
You will be able to make all other breath enchants and gift ring enchants with a level 2 enchanters study.
You will be able to make all other gift enchants as well as disenchant items using your enchanters study at level 3.
You will not be able to make any weapon enchants.
You will not be able to make any temporal crystals.

Cons to not having enchanting as a profession:

No generation of temporal crystals, the requirement of having to have a certain level building to craft stuff, and not being able to craft your own weapon enchants.  While not horrible by any means, being an enchanter offers more options.  Best for a hunter as they do not need any weapon enchants that the enchanters study has to offer, so they lose nothing in the process.

Catching up or Switching to Enchanting in Warlords:

Even as a level 1 enchanter you can do the quest that will get you the enchanters study blueprints for your garrison along with the draenor enchanting which when learned teaches you some items you can make.  Also, as a side bonus, even if you are a skill level 1, once you use the draenor enchanting item you will attain a max level of 700, meaning no need to ever go back to train up again.

The patterns learned, while being native to draenor, do not need a high profession skill level to create. You can craft them, and all others you learn, at level 1.  Yes, this means you can craft top end enchants the moment you pick up enchanting, even weapon enchants.  This means you can level up from 1 to catching up, through making patterns with just draenor based materials. 

In addition to that there are many items you can find in the world that will help increase your enchanting skill and will speed you along up to a skill level of 600, where you will now be working on current content as the only things that will continue to give you skill ups.  All drops that start these skill gaining quests are dropped from random mobs and require an enchanting skill level of 1, so you can start from the bottom up.  All of these are turned in at your garrison.

Cracked Wand: 5 skill ups, up to skill level 600
Requires: 5 Draenic Dust
Felled Totem: 5 skill ups, up to skill level 600
Requires: 4 Black Rock Ore
Gnarled, Splintered Staff: 5 skill ups, up to skill level 600

Ritual Mask Shards: 5 skill ups, up to skill level 600
