I did a search, but the only thing I came up with was guides about picking up skinning and mining, so I'm unsure if this is a repost(Feel free to delete thread if it is).
Basically what I like to do if I'm beginning a new character and is to pick up enchanting, the disenchant portion is just so useful, ever had a quest where all the rewards were items for other classes? FEAR NO MORE, with enchanting you can disenchant them into gold mines, enchanting reagents go for a lot of gold on my server, even basic things like vanilla dust. Ever felt sorry selling the green you've been using for 10 levels, and you feel it's worth more than the vendor price? FEAR NO MORE, again, disenchanting even basic vanilla items nets a lot of gold.
Thanks,
