Understanding Enchanting MatsFollow

Can someone help me out in understanding the order of powders / Essences / Shards?

I've been disenchanting a lot of stuff and I keep finding new stuff (like a pink powder) that I'd never seen before and don't have any recipies to use.

If someone could post the order it would really help me out a lot in terms of what to keep around and what not to keep so much.

I've tried looking in some FAQs and stuff and havent found it and it seems like the list of stuff is never ending.


Thanks for any help.

The list of the stuff is fairly extensive but....
Essence - usually from weapon
Dust - usually from armor
Shard - usually from blue item

The type you get tends to be from some logic on blizz' behalf. I'm at lev 47 but at 285 ench. The better enchants for me come from lev 50-60 gear, but for a while it was fairly close to my own level gear.

the enchanting pdf has a good description of what you need for enchants as well as some basic info (approximate value, sources...)
