Engineering Leveling Guide 1-450
Submitted by Peter on Tue, 11/25/2008 - 17:34Engineering Leveling Guide 1-450 is completed now. I am very disappointed with the leveling process. Blizzard seem to have put in cockblocks into every primary profession in WotLK. Engineering 435-450 is a joke, you are forced to make one single recipe because there is no other option.
At the moment there is only 2 epic recipes you can craft at 450. I feel like it was not worth to level my Engineering. The epic helm at 440 is nice, but for some of the classes - or maybe for all of them - the Naxxramas drops are better, and Naxxramas is not that hard at all.
So again, check out my Engineering Leveling Guide and tell me if you find mistakes or anything.
1-450 Profession leveling guides, coming soon...
Submitted by Peter on Wed, 11/12/2008 - 19:19Blizzard's new expansion will start tomorrow, so I will have a lot of work to do.
Currently only the Inscription leveling guide is completed, the other ones are only last until 350. I removed the 350-375 part from almost all of them, because there will be new recipes in WotLK, as I mentioned it in a previous post.
I will try to upate every guide in the next couple of days weeks, I didn't want to use the data gathered from the BETA, so I will wait until the expansion start.
I would appreciate any help in the guides, please take notes if you can, what you crafted on different skill ranges etc. :)
WoW Inscription - What's Inscription anyway?
Submitted by Peter on Fri, 10/10/2008 - 14:07Inscription is a new profession in Wrath of the Lich King. Inscribers create Glyphs which are enhancements to an individual's spells or abilities, Inscribes will also be able to make Vellum for enchanters to put their enchants on, this will enable enchanting scrolls to be traded, and sold on the AH. They can also make Scrolls and off-hands.
Glyphs have two type: Minor and Major. Major glyphs will be effective in combat, so they can change the outcome of a battle (adding damage over time or stun to a physical attack, for example) while minor glyphs will give convenient or cosmetic improvements, removing the need for some spell reagents.
Individuals have a number of glyph slots, based on their level:
- Level 1-14: None.
- Level 15-29: 1 Major, 1 Minor.
- Level 30-49: 2 Major, 1 Minor.
- Level 50-69: 2 Major, 2 Minor.
- Level 70-79: 2 Major, 3 Minor.
- Level 80: 3 Major, 3 Minor.
Inscription use herbs as main materials. When you learn Inscription, you will get a skill called Milling, which you can use to produce pigments from herbs similar like prospecting for Jewelcrafters. You will need Pigments to make Inks, Inks are needed to create Glyphs.
Every inscription recipe needs some kind of Ink, so if you want to level your Inscription, it's the best combined with Herbalism. Take a look at my Herbalism leveling guide if you want to level Herbalism.
I tried to make this simple, so you can have a basic knowledge about Inscription. My Inscription leveling guide is finished now, all I can say it's the easiest profession to level so far.
WotLK Profession Bonuses
Submitted by Zesh on Thu, 10/02/2008 - 11:42As we are getting closer and closer to the lanuch of WotLK, some of you might wondering about changing professions, but you don't know yet which one to choose. With the release of Wrath of the Lich king, every profession will have a few profession only bonuses for level 80 players which are good for high end raiding and some of them for PvP, for example enchants and items that can only be equipped or used by yourself. Below you can find a list where I tried to gather the current profession bonuses you can get. If you see a + number after the items or enchants, it stands for whats the difference between the binds on pick up and the non bind on pick up items and enchants.
- Alchemy
With Alchemy, you will be able to make Alchemist only trinkets like now in the BC, but the stats of the trinkets are changed.
- Blacksmithing
Those who have Blacksmithing, they will be able to add a bonus socket to their Gloves and Bracers.
- Enchanting
Ring enchants.
- Engineering
Engineers will have a lot of fun stuff too, most of them aren't good for anything besides fun.
