WoW Forever Engineering Guide 1 to 300: Route, Mats and New Recipes

Level Mining next to Engineering and craft the cheapest part at each skill range: blasting powder, bolts and tubes early, then triggers and casings. Pick Gnomish or Goblin at 200, then finish 225 to 300 with Mithril and Thorium after launch.

Rank	Skill cap	To learn it
Apprentice	75	Open from the start
Journeyman	150	Engineering 50 and level 10
Expert	225	Engineering 125, level 20 and 50 silver
Artisan	300	Engineering 200 and level 35

The trainer recipes match Classic too, so the Classic crafting order still works. Forever changes 4 things around them:

• Level gates. Each rank also asks for a character level, so a character below level 10 stays capped at skill 75.
• Gnome racial. The old +15 Engineering skill is gone. Gnome engineers now get devices that work more often.
• Camp objects. Engineers build a Reagent Bot at skill 20, a Repair Bot at 140 and an Anarchist's Workbench at 300.
• Merchant's Favor. 28 schematics sell for Favor at the trade company camps, and certification at 300 earns the title "the Engineer".

These totals cover every craft from 1 to 225 on the cheaper pick at each range. Mining covers most of this list, since every stone and most bars come from the veins you mine on the way.

Material	Amount	Used for
Rough Stone	60	Rough Blasting Powder
Copper Bar	66	Handful of Copper Bolts, Arclight Spanner, Rough Copper Bomb
Linen Cloth	50	Rough Copper Bomb, Coarse Dynamite
Coarse Stone	60	Coarse Blasting Powder
Silver Bar	5	Silver Contact
Bronze Bar	110	Bronze Tube, Whirring Bronze Gizmo, Bronze Framework
Weak Flux	25	Bronze Tube, sold by Engineering Supplies vendors near your trainer
Moss Agate	10	Standard Scope
Heavy Stone	30	Heavy Blasting Powder
Wool Cloth	60	Whirring Bronze Gizmo, Bronze Framework, Explosive Sheep
Medium Leather	15	Bronze Framework
Solid Stone	120	Solid Blasting Powder
Steel Bar	4	Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor
Mithril Bar	74	Mithril Tube, Unstable Trigger, Mithril Casing up to 225
Mageweave Cloth	20	Unstable Trigger

At 100 you can make 5 Flying Tiger Goggles in place of the Silver Contact. That swaps the 5 Silver Bar for 30 Light Leather and 10 Tigerseye.

Keep a Blacksmith Hammer in your bags from the bolts at skill 30. Keep the Arclight Spanner from 50 too: the scopes, gizmos, sheep, triggers and casings all need it.

On a 1 to 60 order, Engineering adds $109 and Mining adds $29. For a character that is already 60, a Pro levels Engineering to 300 with bars and stone included, priced on the professions page.

Craft each row in order. Most parts feed a later row, so keep them in your bags until the recipe that uses them.

Skill	Craft	Mats
1 to 30	60 Rough Blasting Powder	60 Rough Stone
30 to 50	30 Handful of Copper Bolts	30 Copper Bar
50 to 51	1 Arclight Spanner	6 Copper Bar
51 to 75	30 Rough Copper Bomb	30 Copper Bar, 30 Linen Cloth, 30 Handful of Copper Bolts, 60 Rough Blasting Powder
75 to 90	60 Coarse Blasting Powder	60 Coarse Stone
90 to 100	20 Coarse Dynamite	60 Coarse Blasting Powder, 20 Linen Cloth
100 to 105	5 Silver Contact	5 Silver Bar
105 to 125	25 Bronze Tube	50 Bronze Bar, 25 Weak Flux
125 to 135	10 Standard Scope	10 Bronze Tube, 10 Moss Agate
135 to 150	30 Heavy Blasting Powder	30 Heavy Stone
135 to 150	15 Whirring Bronze Gizmo	30 Bronze Bar, 15 Wool Cloth

Train Journeyman at skill 50 and Expert at 125, as the ranks table shows. The scopes leave 15 Bronze Tube spare, and the Repair Bot takes 1 of them later.

The 1 to 75 stretch costs little but Rough Stone and Copper Bar, so it fits into your early hours of questing. Mine the copper veins in your starting zone, smelt as you go and craft at each trainer stop.

The bronze parts from the last stretch become Explosive Sheep, then Solid Stone and Mithril carry you to 225. You need the Expert rank to pass 150.

Skill	Craft	Mats
150 to 160	15 Bronze Framework	30 Bronze Bar, 15 Medium Leather, 15 Wool Cloth
160 to 175	15 Explosive Sheep	15 Bronze Framework, 15 Whirring Bronze Gizmo, 30 Heavy Blasting Powder, 30 Wool Cloth
175 to 194	60 Solid Blasting Powder	120 Solid Stone
194 to 195	1 Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor	4 Steel Bar
195 to 200	6 Mithril Tube	18 Mithril Bar
200 to 215	20 Unstable Trigger	20 Mithril Bar, 20 Mageweave Cloth, 20 Solid Blasting Powder
215 to 238	40 Mithril Casing	120 Mithril Bar

Iron Grenade is the other craft for 175 to 194, made from Iron Bar, Heavy Blasting Powder and Silk Cloth. Either way you need 60 Solid Blasting Powder in total: 20 go into the triggers and 40 into the Hi-Explosive Bomb after 238.

Mithril Casing runs from 215 to 238 in 1 batch of 40. The shopping list above holds the 36 Mithril Bar for the casings before 225, and the 225 to 300 mats below hold the other 84.

The beta has capped characters at level 30 since 1 October, and Artisan training needs level 35, so this stretch follows the Classic-range route. We check it on live realms between 4 and 11 November.

Skill	Craft	Mats
238 to 250	20 Hi-Explosive Bomb	40 Mithril Casing, 20 Unstable Trigger, 40 Solid Blasting Powder
250 to 260	30 Dense Blasting Powder	60 Dense Stone
260 to 285	35 Thorium Widget	105 Thorium Bar, 35 Runecloth
285 to 300	20 Thorium Tube	120 Thorium Bar

Mats for 225 to 300: 84 Mithril Bar, 60 Dense Stone, 225 Thorium Bar and 35 Runecloth.

The trainer teaches Hi-Explosive Bomb and Dense Blasting Powder. Buy the Thorium Widget schematic from Sovik in Orgrimmar or Gearcutter Cogspinner in Ironforge. The Thorium Tube schematic sells at Xizzer Fizzbolt in Everlook, Winterspring.

Thorium Bar is the big cost of this range at launch. A Pro can farm WoW Forever gold on your character to pay for the bars.

At skill 200 every engineer picks Gnomish Engineering or Goblin Engineering. Each branch teaches its own recipes, so pick the toolkit you want at 60.

Gnomish	Goblin
Gadgets and utility devices	Bombs and explosive devices
Teleport at 260: Ultrasafe Transporter to Gadgetzan, 4-hour cooldown	Teleport at 260: Dimensional Ripper to Everlook, 4-hour cooldown
Pick it for travel and utility tools	Pick it for extra burst in dungeons and PvP

Gnome engineers have their own racial line for devices, and the Gnome racials guide lists the full kit.

Both branches keep the shared recipes, so the route to 300 in this guide stays the same whichever branch you pick.

Forever adds new Engineering recipes in 2 places: 3 objects you build at a camp, and 28 schematics sold for Merchant's Favor.

Object	Skill	What it does
Reagent Bot	20	Everyone at the camp can buy reagents from it
Repair Bot	140	Sells reagents and repairs gear, and it can replace a Reagent Bot
Anarchist's Workbench	300	A station for the Engineering recipes that require it

• Reagent Bot: 1 Handful of Copper Bolts and 1 Copper Tube.
• Repair Bot: 2 Whirring Bronze Gizmo, 1 Bronze Tube and 1 Heavy Leather, with the Arclight Spanner in your bags.
• Anarchist's Workbench: 1 Essence of Anarchy and 2 Thorium Widget, with the Arclight Spanner in your bags.

Each object needs a campfire nearby, and all camping features share a 1-hour cooldown. Make 2 extra Whirring Bronze Gizmo at 135 for the Repair Bot. The camping guide shows how a camp works.

The schematics sell at the trade company camps. Fritz Fizzle sells them for the Alliance at the Azeroth Commerce Authority camp in Redridge Mountains. Fizzlefuse sells them for the Horde at the Durotar Supply and Logistics camp just outside the Crossroads in the Barrens.

To earn Merchant's Favor, loot a Waylaid Crate in the world, fill it with the goods it names and hand it in at your camp. Each schematic needs the Engineering skill in the table.

Skill	Schematic	Favor
25	SAF-T Dynamite	45
25	SAF-T Tabs	45
55	SAF-T Copper Bomb	45
85	Satchel of Copper Bombs	45

300	Gnomish Poultryizer	360
300	Stealthman 52	360
300	Ultralight Goblin Glider	360
300	Ultrasafe Rechargeable Battery	360

Engineering Certification costs 1,000 Merchant's Favor at the same camps. It needs Engineering 300 to use and unlocks the title "the Engineer" for every character on your account.

Apprentice and Journeyman trainers stand in the capitals and in several towns. Expert has 1 trainer per faction, and the Artisan trainer in Gadgetzan serves both factions.

Alliance trainers

Rank	Trainer and town
Apprentice	Sprite Jumpsprocket in Stormwind, Jemma Quikswitch in Ironforge, Bronk Guzzlegear in Dun Morogh and Jenna Lemkenilli in Auberdine
Journeyman	Lilliam Sparkspindle in Stormwind, Trixie Quikswitch in Ironforge and Finbus Geargrind in Duskwood
Expert	Springspindle Fizzlegear in Ironforge
Artisan	Buzzek Bracketswing in Gadgetzan

Horde trainers

Buzzek Bracketswing also teaches the recipes from skill 200 on, so travel to Gadgetzan when you reach 200. Skyborne characters can train with the Strange Hermit in Shadowgale Forest on Zephras Isle, their starting zone. The Skyborne guide covers the island.

Every other profession, from Mining to Cooking, is in the WoW Forever professions guide. More profession routes: WoW Forever Cooking 1 to 300.
