That really depends on how much the materials cost on your server.

I think most <300 skilled people generally make no profit, perhaps even
a loss.

That's putting it mildly - it's cost me a fortune so far; tens of
gold, probably well over 100g.

I'm at 291 now, and have been for a couple of weeks. Nobody seems to
want to buy the enchants that will skill me up, even when I'm making a
loss.

For example, +7 agility on boots (yellow to me right now) uses 10
Dream Dust. At my AH at the moment that's about 7-8g of materials. I
can't even sell the enchant for 4g.

The only other option is to use the enchant on a 'spare' pair of
boots, and hope that each 8g wasted in this way skills me up (the last
2 yellow enchants I did failed to skill me up - grrr!).

The other problem I have is that so very few enchants are orange or
yellow to me. Runed Arcanite Rod is orange, so I must do that soon,
but the cost is ridiculous - the Arcanite Rod itself (which I now
have) cost me about 95g. I still need to buy 4 small brilliant shards
(at around 5g each), and some other essences/dust, so that is going to
set me back about 130-140g. Just for 1 skill point and the ability to
do some enchants I don't yet have...

I *really* hope I can eventually earn back the money I've invested in
this profession, because right now it's ruining my bank balance! That
epic mount has never seemed so far away.

That's the bit about enchanting I hate the most; standing around IF
advertising my enchants, hoping that someone's going to want my
enchant-of-the-day.

Why, oh why, don't Blizzard make enchants sellable in the same way
that, for example, armour kits are? It'd be wonderful to create a
handful of enchantment kits, and just stick them up in the AH.

Waiter: Would you like a side salad with that?
