Disenchant uncommon Classic weapons requiring levels 41–45. Expansion matters where equipment level ranges overlap. Dust is more likely from armor; essences are more likely from weapons. Check your Enchanting skill before buying equipment in TBC and later rulesets.

How to farm Greater Nether Essence

Disenchant suitable equipment with Enchanting; check item level and quality before choosing equipment to destroy.

Classic Era, TBC and Wrath use the original Azeroth terrain. Cataclysm and Mists use the reworked world, so use a route for your realm’s terrain.

See Enchanting leveling for progression and related materials.

For original WoW, Outland and Northrend, the ranges above refer to the equipment’s required character level. Cataclysm’s 272+ ranges refer to item level. These are different numbers: read the item tooltip and match its expansion before buying a batch to disenchant.
