How do you learn this?

Comment by 721622

This is sold by the Shard Vendor in Highbank in the Twilight Highlands.

It costs 1 Heavenly Shard.

Comment by 722412

This item must be purchased from a <Shard Vendor> in Twilight Highlands

Alliance:
Sold by: Senthii at 78.7,77.0 in Highbank

Horde:
Sold by: Agatian Fallanos at 76.7, 49.4 in Dragonmaw Port

Item cost is 1x Heavenly Shard.

EDIT:
You must complete a short beginning quest chain before they become accessible though. Twilight Highlands quests are accessible beginning level 84.
A good rule of thumb- if the portal to Stormwind/Orgrimmar from Twilight Highlands is not finished yet, you're not yet far enough questing.

Any reason why i can't find him?

Update:

To buy stuff from Senthii u need to do a quest line, the quest line starts at the King in SW for alliance.
Just do the quest line and you will automaticly end up at the npc were u can buy stuff for enchanters and a lot of other proffesions.

How about we combine all of the information for easy reading?

From Zing's Post:

You must complete a short beginning quest chain before they become accessible/visible though. Twilight Highlands' quests are accessible beginning level 84, they begin off of the Hero's Call/Warchief's Command boards.

Is it weird to anyone else that you need to have 515 enchanting to learn this, but you learn recipes at 480 that require it? How much sense does that make?

Comment by Etain

It's even worse that you learn Mighty Agility at 470, but can't actually enchant it till 515...

Ok so the quest is fixed now, but no one yet has said exactly where this npc is in the building, and I still can't find her. Anyone able to post where she is?

Comment by fnordal

The npc is on the outside of the keep, on the right side. The vendors are phased, so you need to to the initial quests in the area. This so make it impossible for an enchanter of level lower than 84 to use the "top end" enchants

At the time of writing, Wowhead incorrectly shows this recipe as green at 515. It is actually orange and grants 5 skill ups. It remains orange at 520, so save this for your last 5 skill ups when all your trainer recipes have gone yellow.

Can someone help me understand Blizzard's logic?

You get enchants that require this rod at enchanting level 470.
You can use this rod at 500, but it doesn't matter because of the following.
You can't create the rod until level 515.

So why have a lower 'use' level when the item is BoP and created at a higher level?
Also why give you the enchants at 470 if they can't be made until 515?

Comment by Daylos

It all comes back to the fact that the entire crafting system in this game was an after-thought. Someone realized at the last minute that every MMO from the beginning of time had a system to create time and money sinks to keep players occupied between dungeon runs or bouts of PVP. It's not the worst system I've ever seen, but screw-ups like this just demonstrate the lack of attention and forethought that they put into developing it.

p.s. That bit about it being orange until 520 will come in handy to get me over that last 5 point hump. In the meantime, I'm going to go refund my Heavenly Shard since I won't need this recipe for another 50 points.

contacted <GM> regarding this being "broken". he responded they are going to fix this.

waiting waiting. . .

Comment by soultics

As stated above, this Rod is able to be made at 515 skill level, and is available (at least for Horde) from a PHASED portion of Twilight Highlands, requiring level 84. Most of my alts have max tradeskills and are at 80, or in my shamans case...78. Any enchanting alts below 84 are not able to get this formula and become nearly useless if the formula isn't moved to a different vendor or made BoE.

Comment by JohnPombrio

Folks, do not sweat it. There is ONE, only ONE enchant that requires the rod before lvl 515+, namely the greater Agility. Mind you, that recipe IS broken but it is the only one. So skip that one while lvling or wait for Blizz to fix it.

Comment by Martika

Yet another stupid move on the part of Blizz:

Chanters can effectively max out their chanting at lvl 75 - except oops, they can't
At a certain point a chanter MUST have the runed elementium rod to level the profession.
The formula for the rod is soulbound, so the chanter MUST get it himself.
The formula for the rod is sold by an NPC in a lvl 84 zone.
The NPC cannot be interacted with until a lvl 84 quest chain is completed.
Ergo, a lvl 75 player is completely halted in their tracks in terms of leveling enchanting.
GREAT.

This recipe is not available to enchanters below level 84, since the area in which the npc selling can not be un-phased to players below that level, even if you fly to the zone.

Another issue is that you need to have an enchanting skill of 500 (not 515) to learn the recipe to make the rod, yet there is at least one recipe (2 handed weapon agility enchant) you get at a lower level that cannot be made without it. I was disappointed when I found out, as leveling my enchanting toon has been on the back burner and I wanted to do the enchant for one of my other characters (and get the three skill ups for the price of one as well). By the time you are high enough skill level to get the rod, the recipe will probably not be orange anymore, let alone have 3 skill ups.

Since beta testing for this xpac started last summer sometime, I assume this is intentional, as I am sure they would have caught it before now if it were a mistake.

Blizzard, you are cruel :-(

Comment by 801697

This is a serious pain.
I had three artisans - Scribe, Chanter and Smith all maxed out Grand Masters and all lvl 65 - just finished bringing them to level 75 so they might become Illustrious ... and now realize that I must take them to lvl 84 in order to enjoy their skills to the utmost.
By the time I've done that I will have forgotten how to play my mains :D

I guess Blizz's next brilliant idea will be to require users of the Auction Houses to be of a suitable level for the goods they are buying and selling - then I have to level them from 1 - isn't it a fun game!

Comment by Lassy

Note that this is now available from vendors in all major cities. We can once again max out tradeskills on alts!
