Enchanting — Enchanting experience

Each disenchant pays 5 XP per base Essence per recipe tier. Calculate base Essence before Disenchanter doubles it. The low-tier rule still applies: items more than two tiers below your current best award a quarter, rounded down. There is no first-time bonus and no XP for reforging or the item maker.

Piece	Tier	Base Essence	XP before penalty	Quarter XP from rank
Silver Ring	1	18	90	40
Gold Ring with a plain Ruby	3	21	315	70
Platinum Amulet with a plain gem	5	29	725	Never
Iron Tower Shield	1	15	75	40
Ebony Tower Shield	6	15	450	Never
Linen Plain Robes, qualifying own cloth	1	7	35	40

Gold Ruby Ring XP depends on rank; Disenchanter changes its output without changing XP:

Enchanting rank	XP	Essence	With Disenchanter
Below 70	315	21	42
70 or higher	78	21	42

Weapon metals change recipe tier and XP while leaving the weapon’s base Essence unchanged.

Cloth-only Linen/Wool pieces give XP only when made entirely from their maker's own gathered inputs and never sold. This is stricter than Outfitting — Your own cloth. A nonqualifying crafted piece can still yield Essence even when its XP is zero.
