- Reagents:
[Large Brilliant Shard] (4), [Righteous Orb] (2) - Permanently enchant a melee weapon so that often when attacking in melee it heals for 75 to 125 and increases Strength by 100 for 15 sec. Has a reduced effect for players above level 60.
- Tools:
[Runed Arcanite Rod] - Requires Enchanting 300
Permanently enchant a melee weapon so that often when attacking in melee it heals for 75 to 125 and increases Strength by 100 for 15 seconds. Both healing and strength bonuses have great value for tanks and rogues in PvE, so this enchant is in constant demand from these classes.
At level 70, Crusader gives +60 Strength and heals for 45-75 health.

SourceEdit
[Formula: Enchant Weapon - Crusader] is dropped by Scarlet Spellbinders around Hearthglen in the Western Plaguelands and Scarlet Archmages in the cathedral in Tyr's Hand in the Eastern Plaguelands, respectively, with a drop rate of approximately 0.5%. Prior to the Burning Crusade expansion, this formula was heavily farmed.
There are only up to 9 Spellbinders at any given time (3 on the ground floor of the tower, 3 on the top and up to 3 wandering around; respawn time is about 5-7 minutes).
Spellbinders are relatively weak cold mages, no classes will have any difficulties killing them. However, most effective classes for farming are rogues (they can evade most of the ganking) and hunters/warlocks (pet in aggresive mode is the most effective tagging tool).
Farming can also be slowed by the presence of a Scarlet High Clerist at the top of the tower. This Level 63 Elite is a paladin variant and can be pulled at best with two Spellbinders, at worst three Spellbinders and Cavalier Durgen.
NotesEdit
This is a high level enchant for all weapons, and it is mainly used by Rogues, Warriors , Shamans and Paladins. A weapon (usually Swords, Maces, Axes, Daggers or Polearms) that has been enchanted with Crusader glows a strong white glow. Also has been found to have 1ppm (procs per minute).
% to Proc = Weapon Speed * 1.667
The actual effect of Crusader is the buff "Holy Strength". If Crusader is enchanted on two weapons being dual-wielded, Holy Strength can proc twice. 
At low levels (e.g. level 9) Crusader procs very rarely. Its not known at what level the standard proc rate takes effect.
This is generally the ideal enchant for melee heirloom weapons, since Burning Crusade and Lich King enchants cannot be used on them.
