Engineering Guide 1-450

This WoW Engineering guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how level your Engineering skill up from 1 to 450.

Engineering is the best combined with Mining. If you level your Engineering with Mining, you will save a lot of gold. Specially when you have to use Mithril and Thorium, because they aren't hard to find, but they are really expensive at the AH. If you don't have Mining, you have to buy everything and you will need a lot of gold again. However, the fastest way to level Engineering is to buy everything from the Auction House.

Lets get Started....

and

20 x [Whirring Bronze Gizmo] - 40 Bronze Bar, 20 Wool Cloth

You will need 40 [Heavy Blasting Powder] and 20 [Whirring Bronze Gizmo] later, and if you make these you should reach 150 skill point.

150 - 155
20 x [Bronze Framework] - 40 Bronze Bar, 20 Medium Leather, 20 Wool Cloth
by making them now, you might get a lot further - probably towards 160, then stop making these and only make more when you'll need them.

20 x [Explosive Sheep] - 40 Heavy Blasting Powder, 20 Whirring Bronze Gizmo, 20 Bronze Framework, 40 Wool Cloth
175 - 176
The recipe will be yellow, so you might not gain any skill up, but you will need this item later. You will have to make only one of this, don't make more if you don't gain skill up.

1 x [Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor] - 4 Steel Bar

176 - 195
90 x [Solid Blasting Powder] - 180 Solid Stone
Extremely cheap! On my realm it costs 1 gold/stack. Save some of these, because you will need it later.

195 - 200
7 x [Mithril Tubes] - 36 Mithril Bar


205 - 280
Visit your trainer and learn Artisan Engineering.



Engineering has the option at skill level 200 to specialize in Gnomish or Goblin Engineering. The main difference between both sides is the location of their respective teleporters and the ability of their trinkets. Some items require a specific specialization to use, while other items are crafted by one specialization but are usable by any engineer. Fortunately, most recipes that are crafted by one Specialization can be worn by both.

310-320
If you don't reach 320 by making the recipes below, you should make [Fel Iron Bombs] until 320. But then you also need to make a few more Fel Iron Bolts and the other materials.
10 x [4 Elemental Blasting Powder] - 20 Mote of Earth, 10 Mote of Fire

Save these.

15 x [Fel Iron Casing] - 45 Fel Iron Bar

Recipe location



350 - 450
Go to Northrend, visit your trainer and learn Grand Master Engineering.

350 - 370
You will need around 50 [Handful of Cobalt Bolts] and 36 [Volatile Blasting Trigger] later. Make these now, and you should reach 375 or probably more. Note that when you craft [Handful of Cobalt Bolts] you can get 1 or 3 bolts, and the same goes for [Volatile Blasting Trigger], you will get 2 [Volatile Blasting Trigger] each craft.

35 x [1-3 Handful of Cobalt Bolts] - 70 Cobalt Bar

370 - 377
Save these.
18 x [2 Volatile Blasting Trigger] - 54 Cobalt Bar, 18 Crystallized Water

385 - 390
8 x [Explosive Decoy] - 8 Frostweave Cloth, 24 Volatile Blasting Trigger

390 - 400
Save these too, you will need them later.
You will probably reach more then 400, then stop making these and make more only if you need it.

15 x [Froststeel Tube] - 120 Cobalt Bar, 15 Crystallized Water

400 - 405
5 x [Diamond-cut Refractor Scope] - 5 Froststeel Tube, 10 Handful of Cobalt Bolts

430 - 435
5 x [Noise Machine] - 10 Froststeel Tube, 10 Overcharged Capacitor, 40 Handful of Cobalt Bolts
435 - 450
When you reach 440, you can make your epic Engineering Helm, however if you want to level your Engineering past 440, you should wait with your Goggles until 445, because there are only green recipes at that point, but the Goggles are still orange.

This part is stupid I know, but there is just no other recipe that you can use to level your Engineering. The Gnomish Army Knife recipe turns yellow at 440 and green at 445. It doesn't sell at all, at least I couldn't sell any yet. That's pretty much a few thousand gold worth of Saronite Bars down the drain. Most of the time you will need to make a lot more then 25 of these.

25 x [Gnomish Army Knife] - 250 Saronite Bar, 25 Skinning Knife, 25 Minning Pick, 25 Blacksmithing Hammer

I hope you liked this Engineering leveling guide, GZ to 450!

im at 415 now and i still havent use any saronite bar XD

btw nice guide too =P

PS: what specialization u think its better?? gnomish or goblin???

My initial thought before coming here was to go goblin for the dps how ever after doing some research I have changed my mind.... Please note that having never been an engineer before all thoughts here are based purely on my research.

Goblin Engineers offer such nice things as the Goblin Construction Helmet for the extra skill in mining, Goblin Mortars (sucks they have 10 min cool downs) and the Goblin Rocket Helm (note the sucky 20 minute cool down). >But the greatest advantage of goblins is that they give you the ability to res people with jumper cables. <b>Note that being a Gnomish Engineer you can use goblin jumper cables but you just cant make them.</b>

Gnomish Engineers on the other hand offer such awsome things like the Gnomish Cloaking Device, Shrink Ray (just a 5 minute cooldown too), Net-o-Matic Projector (which would rule for PvP), Mind Control Cap (*drool*) and the ultimate engineer trinket that you see heaps of people wearing the mighty Death Ray.

Goblin Engineers have saved my alts many a time from wipes and are well worth it. But if you are a class that can already res like a pally I say Gnomish all the way.

i made a box of saronite bombs and when i opened it was empty XD, shet and i spend 20 bars doin 5 boxes XD
