WoW Engineering Leveling Guide 1 - 525

This WoW Engineering guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how level your Engineering skill up from 1 to 525. Updated for WoW patch 4.3.3

Engineering is the best combined with Mining, if you level Engineering with Mining you will save a lot of gold. If you don't have Mining you will have to buy everything from the Auction House. Check out the Mining leveling guide if you want to level Mining too. But, the fastest way to level Engineering is to buy everything from the Auction House.

If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.

If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 85 in 5 days with this guide.

Engineering Leveling Guide 1 - 50

 

 

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Engineering.

If you have a Gnome character you should visit my Engineering leveling guide for Gnomes instead of this one.

Buy a Blacksmith Hammer from the Blacksmith supply vendor, it's near your trainer.

  • 1 - 30
    60 x [Rough Blasting Powder] - 60 Rough Stone

    You might even reach 40 with this recipe. You will need the 60 Rough Blasting Powder later, so keep these.


50 - 132

 

 

Visit your trainer, and learn Journeyman Engineering.

    8 x [Clockwork Box] - 24 Bronze Bar

    Use the boxes you make. You will get one extra skill point per craft.

  • 150 - 155
    15 x [Bronze Framework] - 30 Bronze Bar, 15 Medium Leather, 15 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. Keep these too.

205 - 280

 

 

Visit your trainer and learn Artisan Engineering.

Engineering has the option at skill level 200 to specialize in Gnomish or Goblin Engineering. You can get the quests from your Engineering trainer. 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.

  • 200 - 216
