WoW Engineering Leveling Guide 1 - 450

This WoW Engineering guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how level your Engineering skill up from 1 to 450. Updated for WoW patch 3.3

Engineering is the best combined with Mining. If you level your Engineering with Mining, you will save a lot of gold. Specially when you have to use Mithril and Thorium, because they aren't hard to find, but they are really expensive at the AH. If you don't have Mining, you have to buy everything and you will need a lot of gold again. Check out my Mining guide if you want to level your Mining too. However, 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. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide, the best one is this 1 - 80 Leveling Guide.

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Engineering. Northrend trainers can also teach you every recipe from 1 to 450.

150 - 155

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.

20 x [Explosive Sheep] - 40 Heavy Blasting Powder, 20 Whirring Bronze Gizmo, 20 Bronze Framework, 40 Wool Cloth
175 - 176
The recipe will be yellow, so you might not gain any skill up, but you will need this item later. You will have to make only one of this, don't make more if you don't gain skill up.

1 x [Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor] - 4 Steel Bar

176 - 195
90 x [Solid Blasting Powder] - 180 Solid Stone
Extremely cheap! On my realm it costs 1 gold/stack. Save some of these, because you will need it later.

195 - 200
7 x [Mithril Tubes] - 21 Mithril Bar

205 - 280

Visit your trainer and learn Artisan Engineering.

Engineering has the option at skill level 200 to specialize in Gnomish or Goblin Engineering. 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.

When you reach 435, you can make your [Wormhole Generator: Northrend] and your epic Engineering Helm at 440, however if you want to level your Engineering past 440, you should wait with both until 448, because there are only green recipes at that point, but the Goggles and the [Wormhole Generator: Northrend] are still orange.

You will probably need to make more than 25 of these.
