Enchanting sucks. End of. :? As qutoted from a person I know whose been playing since pre BC, "Enchanting is a money drain until you get to the higher level enchants." Do not expect to make money from it until the later levels, people are always looking for high level enchanters to add X enchantment to their newest piect of gear. There is only one other skill that is a massive money drain, Engineering. But you get "toys" with it so it all works out. But the best money making skills IMO are mining and herbalism. Herbalism because there are a lot of lazy scribes who hate herb gathering, and mining because of titan steel. You can only make one bar per day, which has created a huge demand for it. Mining also produces mats for 3 other skills, Blacksmithing, Engineering, and Jewel Crafting.
