Once you get to level 50 and enter the Shadowlands do keep in mind that enchants are not as impactful as they were 1-50. They offer only minor upgrades due to the huge scaling of enemy health and damage. You will notice this from level 50 to 51 your health will change by 3000 to 6000 health points which is absolutely huge. Your heirlooms item levels will also go up by 50 item levels from level 50-51. Shadowlands has weird scaling however, if you are looking for some enchants to use in the 50-60 leveling bracket, check out the enchants below!
