While the initial cost of Enchanting a piece of gear will increase slightly, every subsequent re-roll will be much cheaper than its current cost. With this reduction in re-roll price, overall Enchanting costs will be much cheaper for players who seek out the best stats for a piece of gear.

Enchantment costs overall have been reduced. The way that works out is that your initial Enchant cost is going to be a little bit higher than it is currently, for your first enchant. And then the progression of the cost of re-enchanting the item is going to go up much more slowly over time. And it's not going to spike quite as quickly. So, overall it's going to be a little bit less expensive for players to go and try to reroll items to their hearts' content to find things they're looking for.
With the initial increase in Enchanting cost, there may be a concern regarding early-game Enchanting, however, Associate Game Director, Joseph Piepiora assures that the changes to gold acquisition should help remedy that concern. Gold rewards from Whisper Caches and other activities will be greatly increased, and the developers emphasized this point several times throughout the livestream. The overall increase in gold acquisition will likely help to offset the increase in the upfront costs of item Enchanting.
