WoW Forever Enchanting 1 to 150: which recipes to craft and what they take

Each Enchanting recipe below gives a skill point every time until it turns yellow. While it is yellow the chance is high, while it is green the chance is low, and once it is grey it gives none. The list runs in the order the recipes turn yellow. A recipe taught by an item names the item and the rank it needs. Runed Copper Rod, Dust to Motes and Novice's Practice Wand are learned when you learn the profession. An Enchanting trainer teaches the other recipes that have no teaching item. Only recipes inside the beta's level cap are listed.
