WoW Engineering Guide
This guide provides you the cheapest and the quickest way to level Engineering. It uses schematics obtained only from vendors and trainers. So you won't go through the whole world to get rare schematics and got 2 more points in your skill. To get the information about specific recipe (its source) you can click on its title.
At skill level 200 you can choose one specialization – Gnomish or Goblin Engineering. There is no great difference between them so you can choose one you like more. Goblin engineers are focused on creating bombs and combat items while Gnomish are specializing on trinkets and utility items.
The ultimate profession pair for Engineering is mining. You can save a lot of gold by gathering and smelting metal bars yourself, not buying them from Auction House.

Learn Apprentice Engineering
| Skill | Recipe | Materials |
|---|---|---|
| 1–30 | 40 x Rough Blasting Powder |

|
| This one becomes green at skill level 20, so get enough materials to craft 40 of items to get to 30. | ||
| 30–50 | 34 x Handful of Copper Bolts | |
| Don't throw them away – you will need these bolts later in leveling engineering. | ||
