Yes.

The lowest available wands appear at around level 10, although there is a Required Level 7 wand called "Fire Wand." The utility of these as a weapon will blossom around level 20 for certain 5-man Groups, before falling off almost completely as you approach 40.

Once you get to the point where they serve poorly as a damage source, they can always be used for Stats, which at level 70 can be pretty impressive.

Wrong! W-R-O-N-G! Wrong!
the lowest level wand is a Lesser Magic Wand, available at level 5 from any friendly enchanter - even one starting out, since it's in the first batch of recipes learned.

As ohmikeghod said, the lowest (and a good first wand) can be attained by an Enchanter, anyone who has taken the Enchanting profession - you can do this yourself if you want although its a pretty big money hog.

As for your other Wanding options, some wands can be attained for free through quests - although its hard to specify for you since I don't know what Race you are.

Your best bet past that is to check the Auction houses, as most wands drop as regular Greens that are Bind on Equip and can be auctioned.

For the most part, the best Wands you can get are going to be drops from Instances that require groups to run. If you're on the Alliance side, and can get near Westfall a great bet is Cookie's Stirring Wand, while if you're in the Barrens you're option is harder to attain, but called the Firebelcher.

While these are relatively annoying to attain, if you like to group regularly they are worth the effort, as Wanding is a powerful way to add a good amount of damage without costing mana - Stack on some DoTs and start wanding.

If you do not plan on doing these group instances, your best bet until the 20s is still going to be a Greater Magic Wand which is also made by an enchanter. Either make some friends, or go run to your Auction house and look for wands.

Not true. It's the single biggest moneymaker - if you choose to treat it as a gathering trade skill, instead of wasting your time enchanting stuff for cheapskate losers. Like most crafting trade skills, enchanting is best done on yourself, but it's disenchanting that generates the big bucks.

I find, depending on the server (age in particular), that no only can you make more cash with 2 other Gathering (Mining always, Usually Herb but on newer Servers Skinning) by leaps and bounds, and that often on older servers Straight BoE greens can be sold for more than their disenchanted parts.

Once you're talking 45+ Blue BoP that are not sellable and unusable to groups, Disenchanting starts to turn a bit of a profit... but the trip up there is so terribly rough.

Not only this but if you level at a decent pace, you will litterally not be able to keep your Enchanting up to par with your current needs without dedicating a good portion of your play time keeping up with the skill (not true of basically any other profession until much later.) Since you cannot level through straight-DEing past a certain point (75 is it?) you'll always be working on straight tips + mats until you're nearly maxed (unless you feel like spending that much cash on your own mats and then not getting paid for it), and will be paying crazy amounts of cash for even mid-level Recipes - which you'll need if you want to be working with any sort of 'real' enchants.

When I start up a character on a different Server and decide it's my Main for that server, I always choose to maximize my profits by picking up Cooking, Mining, and Herb (unless markets bad, then Skinning). Then, any cloth that I don't use for First Aid I'll sell on the Auction House, any BoE Greens I'll sell on the auction house (Unless it's Whale, lol), and any excess food I've made I'll sell on the AH. The older the server the better, but this works across the board.

My Pally on Wildhammer had over 450g when he turned 40, primarily from Wool, Copper, and Lowbie Herbs.

Oh and one point to make - if the Markets are even on Herb and Skinning, take skinning for 2 reasons. You cannot keep "Find Minerals" and "Find Herbs" up simultaniously, and if the markets ever really rough or you don't feel like headed back to the AH, you can sell your stacks off to vendors for actually decent cash.

Cooking blossoms as soon as you hit OL, by selling Buzzard Bites. On both servers these go for 5g at 5, ~16g a stack. Serpent Crunchies and Basalisks are at similar price and can be attained simultaniously while getting Dailies done AND Skinning for Fel Scales and Wind Scales (both ridiculously good sellers on both servers.)

One can make himself a small fortune off this stuff.

You are talking like someone who only disenchants drops and/or rewards.

I would have to agree that enchanting is my best money maker and I'm not even an enchanter, I simply buy items off the AH that are being sold less then their DE value.

I buy these items off the AH and my friend DEs them for me, generally I have about 12-20 items a day for him to DE so I can resell the mats.
