Enchanting - What would be the new best practices

[HermieTheDentist]

Hey all. Looking for some advice on how to set up a good enchanter these days. I've got only the slightest handle on the new mechanics and could use some help.

What's the best spell training setup?
What lores are best?
What does that mana pool actually do for me?
How can I best utilize that mana pool?

Here's my current setup:
Lvl 66

Armor Use..........................| 30 6

Your biggest factor in a successful cast is your wizard spell ranks. Your biggest factor in tempering is magic item use. You won't be able to enchant enhancive/fusion or sanctified items for a very long time without significantly boosting those two skills. If you're choosing lore based only on enchanting, then you should go with water lore. It'll bring you more mana each week to your pool. Your mana pool will make pouring enhancive/sanctified pre-temper potions have a greater chance of success, or lessen the temper times between casts using normal enchanting potions.


Here's what one of my lower trained mage's skills looks like. He just completed a normal 7x project and had nearly the baseline failure rate.
