Enchants:
Mists of Pandaria has eliminated all head enchants. Shoulder enchants come from the Inscription profession.
Short on gold? Most of the enchants below have similar enchants available, of lesser value, for less cash. We’ve linked to a couple of these. Check with the rep vendor or the Auction House for others. If you want to buy the best enchants, fund all of your alts, donate to the guild, etc., but don’t have the cash, then see what the Tycoon Addon can do about about improving your situation.
For regular enchants the chest item is the only Resilience enchant, there are no PvP Power enchants. The one PvP enchant is for melee only.
