[Skill/Enchanting] Abyssal Shatter

[Zaranthos]

This doesn't seem to give skill points. Used it 11 times and got no skill points at 445 enchanting.

I don't think this is supposed to give you an actual skillup, it just gives you a cheap way to get dusts and essences so you can do the higher level enchants to gain skill.

Quote from wowhead:

For a Blood Elf, this is an excellent way to level Enchanting to 450+. Because of the racial +10 bonus to Enchanting, a Blood Elf is considered to have a level 10 points higher for the purpose of learning new recipies.

However, when it comes time to use those recipes, the Blood Elf's skill is regarded as a normal level, without the bonus.

This means that a Blood Elf effectively learns recipes "10 points early". Not only that, but it also means that recipes change color 10 points later.

Long story short, for a Blood Elf, this recipe stays orange all the way through 455, making it the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to grab those final skill points.

Yes I saw that but I don't think it's accurate. The other comments say that you use the resulting dusts / essences to do enchants to get your final points.

The client shows the colored bar that indicates you'd get skill points from using it. Obviously using it and then using the components you get helps you skill up as well. Obviously the dusts and essences would help level enchanting since it gives so much more than disenchanting items does. It just looks like it is supposed to give skill points but doesn't. What's blizzlike? I don't know.

[MrSmite]

Hmm, well according to

http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow-enchanting-guide.html

it seems like you probably do get skillups from this and should be selling the resulting dusts / essences

I don't know what it's like on live servers, I never leveled my Enchanting that high.

[Pitcrawler]

Well that's the proof!

[Rushor]

so this bug is offically confimred from everyone?
