Mists of Pandaria  Enchanting: 

• Zen Master Enchanting will have a skill cap of 600, train up at 500.
• New enchants and upgrades to older ones.
• Enchants will provide from 1 to 5 skill points each.

Enchanting is an excellent skill to use to buff up your gear and the gear of your guild and raid members, though it can be rather expensive to level. Some people pair Enchanting with a skill such as Tailoring. Tailored items can often be made cheaply and then disenchanted into useful materials. You might also be able to get your guild to send you items to be disenchanted.

Of course, working one of the gathering skills (mining, herbalism, skinning) can generate enough gold to buy enchanting materials. Check out WoWhead.com or other such resources if you need specific drop rates/mobs or zones for any given recipe/item. For some tips on earning more gold, go here.

Considering Enchanting as a profession choice

Disenchanting is a skill that you also gain, which allows you to break magical items (green and better) down into dusts, shards, etc. You can then either use or sell these components. Camping the Auction House for very low priced green items, to disenchant, is something that a few enchanters do for cheap materials or to sell the parts off for a profit.

Also, with the release of Wrath of the Lich King, Enchanters gained the ability to make scrolls to give to other players or place on the Auction House. You can grab the necessary Vellums from your friendly, neighborhood Scribe or grab them off the Auction House. Simply cast the enchant onto the scroll and then store it, mail it, or sell it.

People ask, “So what do I enchant, when I have to make some enchant over and over again?” Just enchant your gear over and over or make scrolls. You can cast the same enchant on your own gear as many times as you like (each new enchant simply erases the older one.)

Profession Perk: Enchanters can enchant their own rings, and only their own rings, with their best stat (Int., etc.) As of patch 4.3 that is a +40 stat enchant (40 Int, for example.)

There’s an easier way to go about all of this. Get yourself an in-game guide which detects your existing skill and then leads you, step by step, to the maximum skill for any profession. Not only that, it will lead you, step by step, to getting a whole pile of achievements and a few special mounts. Get it here.
