WoW Forever Enchanting Formulas: Trainer, Vendor, Quest and Drop Sources
Beta caveat: built from beta records ahead of launch on 4 Nov UTC / 5 Nov AEDT. [Classic-based] = Classic Era data Forever may change; [Unconfirmed] = to recheck at launch.
Where does each Enchanting formula come from in Forever? This page sorts them by source: trainer, vendor, reputation, Merchant’s Favor, quest and drop. For the skill-up route, use the Enchanting 1–300 guide.
How Enchanting formulas are learned
| Source | Formulas | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Learned with the profession | 5 | You know them as soon as you train Enchanting: Runed Copper Rod, Dust to Motes, Novice’s Practice Wand, Enchant Bracer - Inferior Stamina and Enchant Bracer - Minor Deflect. |
| Trainer | 63 | Bought from an Enchanting trainer as you rank up, including the Enchanted Lute for your camp. |
| Formula item | 168 | You read a formula (or a camp blueprint) that you bought, looted or earned with Merchant’s Favor. |
| Source not recorded yet | 25 | No learning source in the records yet, such as Blackfathom Mana Oil, Sigil of Living Dreams and Speedstone. [Unconfirmed] |
Counts come from Questing.wiki’s Forever Enchanting catalogue of 261 entries. A few are listed twice, such as Greater Mystic Wand. Classic WoW Forever counts 215 formulas in the beta client: 152 from Classic and 63 new. Treat the counts as a rough guide. Many formulas can be read earlier than the catalogue skill. Formula: Enchant Bracer - Deflection reads at 235 on its Wowhead Forever tooltip, and Formula: Minor Wizard Oil reads at 5. The tables below use the tooltip value.

Ziri in Gnomeregan sells three formulas Classic Era never had. Kania in Silithus and Lokhtos Darkbargainer in Blackrock Depths both sell Lesser Mana Oil and Wizard Oil, with no reputation shown on those tooltips. Lorelae Wintersong in Moonglade holds two limited formulas, so check her when you pass.

The tooltips ask for Friendly or Honored “with this faction” without naming it. How Favor works is on the Merchant’s Favor page. [Unconfirmed]
Formulas that aren’t in Classic Era
Classic WoW Forever says 95 formulas use different materials in Forever, and Minor Wizard Oil now needs skill 5 instead of 45. These formulas use item IDs Classic Era never had:

[Classic-based] Some drops are also reported from places that aren’t confirmed for Forever. [Unconfirmed]
Tips
- Train Enchanting first, then buy Minor Wizard Oil at once: its formula reads at 5 and sells in every capital.
- Visit Annora in Uldaman for the 230 to 250 trainer formulas. She is the only trainer recorded for them.
- Limited-stock vendors hold one copy, so another player can buy it first. Lorelae Wintersong, Qia and Mythrin’dir are worth a check.
- The best weapon and bracer formulas need Argent Dawn, Thorium Brotherhood, Timbermaw or Zandalar reputation, so start those ranks early.
- Enchanting mats and rare formulas sell well on the auction house. See crafting for gold.
