Disenchanting Materials
The type and quantity of materials produced from disenchanting varies by item type (armor or weapon), iLevel and quality. The following general rules can be used:
- Dusts usually come from uncommon armor (75%) and weapons (20%)
- Essences usually come from uncommon weapons (75%) and armor (20%)
- Shards come from rare equipment (97-100%), epic equipment iLevel 55 or less (100%, 2-4x), and rarely from uncommon equipment (3-5%)
- Crystals come from epic equipment iLevel 56+ (100%) and extremely rarely from rare equipment (~0.5%)
For more detailed percentages, quantities, and iLevels associated with each material, see the disenchanting tables.
Non-Disenchantable Items
Not all items of uncommon, rare or epic quality can be disenchanted. Most armor and weapons can be disenchanted. However, there are some general exceptions:
- Items which cannot be equipped by a player cannot be disenchanted.
- Consumables, e.g. Twilight Trappings and ammo
- Wands crafted by an Enchanter
- Bags
- Quest items
- Quest rewards for which replacements can be obtained, e.g. Zul'Gurub armor sets
- Vendor-purchased BoP equipment, this includes PvP and faction reputation rewards.
