    Default Enchanting

    Not really an appraisal, but I have been wondering how wizards are planning on pricing enchanting under the new system....

    They are going to try to anchor it to sorcerer pricing per week. At 3m per they are literally saying it's going to cost someone roughly around 168m to go from 0x to 10x. Way overpriced.

    A few wizards are already trying to form a cartel on it.

    Enchanting costs are easy, since we can now enchant nearly anything the BS cert can, which is 100k for +5 to any item, each +1 cast of the new enchant should cost 20k bs. Enjoy!

    Edit: Dalabrac pays double!

    Placing myself under the new enchanting requirements, my prices would definitely be going up. This change actually has me considering opening my wizard account until Classic is released.

    I still need to run the numbers to see if it would be worth my time, not knowing how much hunting a week it would take to get my weekly cap at level 55. Even if it's within reason I don't even know if I would sell the service or continue to build the mattock I had been working on.

    I can say with 15+ years of working with enchanting, the service cost is going to go way up now considering it requires much more work. One also has to take into account that silvers are worth nearly 300% less than they were when I cashed out the majority of capitol I had gained in my GS history.

    The extremely poor roll out of the new enchanting changes has kept me from clicking the "Submit Payment" button. I need some real numbers here.

    Script hunt or not, I would still be dedicating resources to a character I would otherwise not be focusing on.

    The cost for enchanting went up for the character owner with this change.

    Old enchanting cost = time invested to reach x level

    New enchanting cost = time invested to reach x level + time invested to gather enchanting energy.

    Sweet - that means all my armor and weapons went up in price and silvers will be cheaper per million.

    Any wizards caught undercutting will be labeled scabs, barred from the guild and forced to do Alchemy ingredient collection tasks for no reward.
