How formulas are obtained

Trainer — base enchants by slot (chest, gloves, cloak, boots).
Drop — top formulas like Crusader drop in dungeons (Scholomance) and raids.
Limited vendor — Fiery Weapon and some others; restock on a timer.
Reputation — factions (Timbermaw etc.) sell unique formulas.

Crusader and top DPS

Crusader is the iconic weapon enchant: a chance to buff strength (physical DPS/tank) or healing. The formula is a rare drop and worth hunting first. Full slot breakdown is in best enchants and per slot (weapon, chest, gloves).

x5 farming tip

The enchanter disenchants spare gear into dust/essences — on x5 materials are plentiful thanks to fast drop farming. Look for world-drop formulas on the auction house.
