Engineering 1 to 300 Guide
Okay. I decided to pick up engineering, Here's the guide that I created last
night, trying to spend the least amount of gold I could. I must admit that it's
about 70 gold for EVERYthing, But in the end, you'll have like 20-25 gold in
your pocket. This is the Quick and Dirty way. If you can't keep up with the
bill, I suggest getting mining, as it alleviates nearly 90% of your costs when
you just straight mine to 300.
First is the shopping list of all items I used in my powerlevel. You WILL have
leftovers on most things but I padded for the unlucky.
Next is the List itself. What to skill up on until the level desired. For
instance, 1-40 means stop doing it when you get your 40th profession point.
Next, what typically you can do with the item. Then, AHed ingredients and
finally the ingredients in ONE make of the crafted item.

Engineering trainers are usually found in major cities.
Artisan engineers can be found in Orgrimmar and Ironforge.
The single master engineer (for all engineers) can be found in Gadgetzan in
Tanaris. His name is
Buzzek Bracketswing.

made. Grats.---
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pick up Schematics that help out:
[Edit: These do not require any type of engineering to have. They are ordinary
engineering schematics.]
"Discombulator Ray":
1.You need a DELTA ACCESS security card. It's a low % drop in gnomeregan, so
getting it is the hardest part. I've found 3 off of the mobs coming from the
back door. You can also find it from AH though in some cases. The important part
about delta security card is that it is not BoP, so once you have gotten your
schematic, sell it to someone else.
2. You must have 160 engineering.
3. Learn the schematic directly from 3500-D terminals on the way to Thermaplugg
from the back door, in the engineering labs.
"Schematics: Repair bot 74A":
Learn this from a scroll on the ground next to Golem Lord Argelmach in BRD at
300 engineering. (First of all, you'll need the Shadowforge Key.
1. Take your first left, unlock the gate, run up to the gate on the right,
unlock that, run up to the door on the left, unlock it.
2. Walk up to the big gear in this room, and unlock the chain.
3. Run up the ramp in this room, take the left up the stairs, then follow the
hallways. You'll come to a room with about 4 fire elementals, stairs going down
on the left, and a ramp going down on the right. Go right.
4. Ahead of you will be many non-elite gnomes and elite elementals standing
around. Go straight down from the ramp until you come to a room with a named,
and two elementals guarding him.
5. The plans are to your right.)
It takes 12 Thorium Bars, 4 Rugged Leather, 1 Fused Wiring, 2 Elemental Earth,
and 1 Elemental Fire. It has only 1 charge before it is expended. Not cheap.
----------------------------------------------------------------
---Types of Artisan Engineering---
[Edit: There are three types of engineering. Goblin, Gnomish and regular Artisan
engineering. Unless an engineering item SPECIFICALLY states that it needs
"Goblin Engineering (x)" or "Gnomish Engineering (x)" it is free for anyone to
use. This means that Gnomish can use Goblin Jumper Cables XL and gnomes make
whatever they make (d'oh, you'd think I'd remember what gnomes make with 300
gnomish) and share them with the Goblin engineers. Just check thottbot or
wherever to be sure.]
There is a quest starter for Artisan; (Tinkerwiz in Ratchet (observatory) for
Horde, and Lilliam Sparkspindle in Stormwind for Alliance.)
The Master Gnome engineer is in Booty Bay.
The Master Goblin engineer is in Gadgetzan. These trainers will give you a task
to complete to join
that society. Note that you don't need to choose either, as it is not linked to
learning
artisan engineering at level 35 at all.
For your Goblin engineering quest:
20 Big Iron Bombs (190) (3x Iron Bar 3x Heavy Blasting Powder 1x Silver Contact)
20 Solid Dynamite (175) (1x Solid Blasting Powder 1x Silk Cloth)
5 Explosive Sheep (150)
(1x Bronze Framework 1x Whirring Bronze Gizmo 2x Heavy Blasting Powder 2x Wool
Cloth)
[SEE POST 264 for Garlic of Greymane's Modifications for Goblin Engineering.]
For your Gnome engineering quest:
6 Mithril Tubes (195) (3x Mithril Bar)
1 Accurate Scope (180) (1x Bronze Tube 1x Jade 1x Citrine)
2 Advanced Target Dummies (185)
(1x Iron Strut 1x Bronze Framework 1x Gyrochronatom 4x Heavy Leather)
Goblin is the realm of BOOM. You get a wider variety of and more powerful
explosives. Unfortunately the dragon gun and the mortar still trigger the shared
explosive reuse timer, though they are on separate cooldowns.
Goblin engineering produces the following:
1) (205) Goblin mining hat (AC 190, +15 sta, +5 mining, mail armor, BoP) (You no
take candle!)
2) (205) Goblin construction hat (AC 44, +15 fire resist, cloth, BoP) Use:
absorb 300 to 500 fire damage for 1 minute.
3) (205) Goblin sapper charge (explosive, limited use) Damage enemies around you
for a lot while damaging you for slightly less.
4) (205) Goblin Rocket Fuel recipe (creates a recipe) create recipes for
alchemists, who in turn can supply you with goblin rocket fuel, necessary for
some schematics.
5) (205) Goblin Mortar (explosive, 6 uses) Has a minimum and maximum range.
Binds on equip, so you can recharge your own mortar (using the Mortar: Reloaded
schematic gained at the same time) for significantly fewer resources than a new
mortar, but cannot recharge anyone else's as it is soulbound to them. Also worth
noting is that this item apparently still causes a "stun" effect instead of a
"disorient" effect, which is somewhat more useful. However, the radius is
smaller than listed, probably 6 yards instead of 10.
6) (225) Goblin Rocket Boots (AC 41, cloth) These boots are one of the few items
usable by those without the engineering skill. They allow fast running for a
short period of time, but are prone to explosion.
7) (230) Goblin Bomb Dispenser (trinket, BoP) Can create one bomb that behaves
as an exploding sheep, every 30 minutes.
8) (235) The Big One (explosive, 2 uses) A massive bomb that deals high damage
in a huge radius. Has a longer than usual activation time.
9) (240) Goblin Dragon Gun (trinket, BoP) A 10-second channel creates a cone of
flame that deals damage each second.
10(?) (245) Goblin Rocket Helmet (AC 50, +15 sta, cloth) Allows you to charge an
enemy, knocking it unconscious for 30 seconds and yourself for less time. Damage
ends the effect.
Gnomish is the realm of devices. Trinkets for every occasion. If you are
satisfied with the amount of explosives from standard engineering, go gnomish
for utility.
Gnomish engineering produces the following:
1) (205) Gnomish Shrink Ray (trinket) temporarily reduces target's attack power
by 250. this can also backfire on the user, causing them to shrink or grow.
2) (205) Inlaid mithril cylinder plans (creates a recipe) creates plans for
blacksmiths, who in turn can provide you with mithril cylinders, necessary for
some schematics.
3) (210) Gnomish Goggles (AC 45, +9 agi, +9 sta, +9 spi, cloth, BoP) goggles
with agility
4) (210) Gnomish Net-O-Matic Projector (trinket) Roots target for 10 seconds, 10
minute cooldown. Can backfire and root the user instead.
5) (215) Gnomish Harm Prevention belt (AC 66, +6 sta, leather) Use: blocks 500
damage over the next minute, but can also temporarily remove the user from
reality.
6) (225) Gnomish rocket boots (AC 41, cloth) requires engineering to use, but
cannot be destroyed like the goblin version.
7) (230) Gnomish Battle Chicken (trinket, BoP) summons a combat chicken for 90
seconds. 30 minute cooldown.
8) (235) Gnomish mind control cap (AC 50, +14 spi, cloth) allows mind control of
your target for a short time.
9) (240) Gnomish death ray (trinket, BoP) a 4-second channel deals damage to you
each second, and then releases more than the total amount at your target. Aggros
as you start channeling.
Those are the big differences I know of. It's purely a matter of preference.
Keep in mind that aside from the ones that are Bind on Pickup, you can trade/buy
to get most of the other's products!
--------------------------------------------------------------
That's it, you should be 300 when reading this little section. Props to
Thottbot, Auction House, and ideas given by various forums. Good luck to you,
you'll probably need it after this faq drains your wallet. ^_^
How to change from one specialisation to another
Go to Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris. To the north is a small hut. Inside is a
Gnome called Narain Soothfancy. Have a look at the book on the little table in
the right hand corner. Right click on it and you get to choose what kind of
specialization you want. Hope this helps.
