Best level up engineering guide WoW

Engineering
About this guide:
This guide will show you how to get your engineering skill up from 0 to 300.
The guide will only use recipe's available at a trainer until 260 and vendor available recipe's from 260 to 300.
This guide only uses recipes that require components aquired through mining and vendor bought material (flux), except for some leather and cloth. This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipe's from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you. This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high level alts, friends or guildmembers.
Preparation
You are going to need a lot of bars and stone and some cloth. Create an alt storage character to store these and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the material needed. Use the ingame mail system to send the bars and stone to the storage character. You may need more then one storage character. Don't forget to send some gold to the storage character, so she can send the bars and stone back.
Once you have all the components collected everything has to be send back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e the rough stone and copper bars are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the coarse stones and tin bars, etc.
The recipe's used require vendor bought components such as flux. These cost gold. To learn recipe's from a trainer also costs gold. The amount of gold needed is aproximately 10 gold if you farm all of the material. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwardsto 125 gold.
Below is a table that shows the amount of bars and stone needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you make something. However at some point a recipewill be yellow or even green when you make something so you won't allways get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of bars and stone on your storage character. If you buy everything from the auction house get the minimum amount an
d only buy more when needed. This table includes the components needed for becoming gnome or goblin engineer.

Gnome or Goblin
At some point you probably are going to make a choice between gnome or goblin engineering. You have to make several engineering items for those paths, so with some planning making those items can be used to get skill points as well. At skill 125 the guide wil split into a gnome and goblin part.

Getting from 1 to 50
Make rough blasting powder until skill 30.
At 30 you can make handfull of copper bolts. you are going to need at least 30 copper bolts in recipe's used to get from 50 to 125 so lets make those. This should get you to 50 comfortably Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Engineer. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Engineer. This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50. Skill Yellow Grey Item Components From - To Components Needed 1 20 40 Rough Blasting Powder 1x Rough Stone 1 - 30 (30) 30x Rough Stone
30 45 60 Handful of Copper Bolts 1x Copper Bar 30 - 50 (20) 20x Copper Bar
Getting from 50 to 125 At 50 you can train and then make an arclight spanner. Since you are going to need one in your engineering career, you might as well make one now and get a skill point.
Make copper tubes to get to 65 and use those to make rough boomsticks to get to 75.
Make coarse blasting powder to get to 90. You need 20 to make small bronze bombs later on.
Make copper modulators to get to 95, needed for target dummy's. Make target dummy's to get to 100.
Make silver contacts to get to 110. These are needed to make small bronze bombs. If you want to become a goblin engineer you are going to need 10 silver contacts later on, so set those aside.
Make bronze tubes to get to 120 and small bronze bombs to get to 125. If you have some leftover copper bolts you can use those to make some practicelocks instead of bronze tubes. If you want to become a gnome engineer you are going to need one bronze tube to make an accurate scope, so set one aside.
Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Engineer. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Engineer. This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Getting from 125 to 200
At level 30 and with a engineering skill of 200 you can make a choice to become a gnome or goblin engineer. To become either one you have to show some work to Oglethorpe Obnoticus for gnome engineering or to Nixx Sprockets pring for goblin engineering. Since most of the things you have to make fall within the 125 to 200 skill range, I decided to split the guide here into a gnome version and a goblin version. I'll start with gnome engineering. Scroll down for goblin engineering. If you haven't decided which path to take yet, follow the gnome engineer version.
Gnome Engineering
Make heavy blasting powder to get to 140.
Make whirring bronze gizmos to get to 145.
Make bronze frameworks to get to 150. You need 2 for the gnome engineer quest, to make advanced target dummy's and about 5 to make explosive sheep for skill ups.
Use the heavy blasting powder, whirring bronze gizmo and bronze framework to make explosive sheep to get to 155. Remember to keep 2 bronze frame works for the gnome engineer quest.
Make gold power core to get to 160. Keep the gold power cores, you need them to make gyrochronatoms.
Make iron struts to get to 170. These are also used to make advanced target dummy's.
Make gyrochronatoms to get to 175. These are used for advanced target dummy's as well.
At 175 you can make the Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor. Since you are going to need one in your engineering career, you may as well make one now and geta skill point. The steel bars needed is made by miners from iron bars and coal.
Make solid blasting powder to get to 195. You need at least 50 solid blasting powder in future recipe's, so make those.
Now make 2 advanced target dummy's, one accurate scope and 6 mithril tubes for the gnome engineering quest. This should get you past 200. If you haven't decided which path to follow, skip the accurate scope and mithril tubes and make advanced target dummys to get to 200.

Goblin Engineering
Make 40 heavy blasting powder which are needed to make big iron bombs and explosive sheeps.
Make 5 whirring bronze gizmos which are needed to make explosive sheep. You should now be at skill 145. Make some more whirring bronze gizmos to get to 145 if you're not.
Make bronze frameworks to get to 150. You need 5 bronze frameworks to make explosive sheep for the goblin engineering quest.
At 150 you can make explosive sheep . You need 5 explosive sheep, so make those.
Make gold power core to get to 160. Keep the gold power cores, you need them to make gyrochronatoms.
Make iron struts to get to 170 and gyrochronatoms to get to 175. Keep these, you may need them later to make advanced target dummy's
At 175 you can make the gyromatic micro-adjustor. Since you are going to need one in your engineering career, you may as well make one now and get a skill point.
Make 10 solid blasting powder which is needed to make solid dynamite.You are also going to need at least 50 solid blasting powder in future recipe's,so make those too.
Make solid dynamite which is needed for the Goblin Engineering quest. You need 20 solid dynamite. The recipe gives 2 solid dynamite each time you make them, so you only need to use the recipe 10 times.
At 190 you can make big iron bombs which are needed for the Goblin Engineering quest. You need 20 big iron bombs. The recipe creates 2 bombs eachtime, so use the recipe 10 times.
Make advanced target dummy's to get to 200 if you're not there yet.
Once you hit 200 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Artisan Engineer. You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Engineer.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 200.

Getting from 200 to 300
Use the solid blasting powder to make unstable triggers to get to 210 and hiimpact mithril slugs to get to 230.
Make mithril casings and use those with the unstable triggers to make hi-explosive bombs to get to 245.
Make mithril gyro-shot to get to 250.
Make dense blasting powder to get to 260.
Make thorium widgets to get to 285 and thorium tubes to get to 300. Depending on the prices for thorium bar and the thorium shells recipe in the auction house on your server, it may be cheaper to make thorium shells instead of tubes. If you are a gun wielding hunter and have the thorium shells recipe, you can also make thorium shells to get to 300.
Congratulations, you now have 300 skill in engineering.
