Disenchanting
Guide
Before we get started, if you're looking
for a great guide to all World of Warcraft Professions,
then check out The Ultimate WoW Guide.
If you're looking for some great strategies on making gold,
I'd recommend checking out Gold Secrets.
In my Disenchanting Guide you will find all of the
information you need about how disenchanting works.
Disenchanting is used by Enchanters in World of Warcraft to
create the elements from weapons and armor to later use in
enchanting an item. Of course, enchanting an item gives it
better stats and can be really helpful while leveling your
character.

Disenchant - "Extracts the magical
elementals from good quality (Green) or better weapons or
armor. Destroys the weapon or armor in the process."
After you disenchant an item, you'll receive a loot box and
you can pick up the items you have created from disenchanting.
You receive the Disenchant ability when you acquire
enchanting.
The type and quantity of materials produced from
disenchanting varies by item type (armor or weapon), item Level
and quality. The following general rules can be used:
- Dusts usually come from green armor (75%)
and weapons (20%)
- Essences usually come from green weapons (75%)
and armor (20%)
- Shards come from blue
equipment (97-100%), epic
equipment iLevel 55 or less (100%, 2-4x),
and rarely from uncommon
equipment (3-5%)
- Crystals come from epic
equipment item Level 56+ (100%) and
extremely rarely from rare
equipment (~0.5%)
Dusts and Essences
Note that there are some items at the 57-60 item range,
which are not from the the Burning Crusade expansion, so those
items won't give you Arcane Dust nor Lesser Planar Essence.
Same goes for 67-70, some items are from the Burning Crusade
expansion and not from the Wrath of the Lich King, so you will
get Arcane Dust instead of Infinite Dust.
