Classic WoW Engineering Leveling Guide 1-300

This Classic WoW Engineering Leveling Guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to level your Engineering skill up from 1 to 300.

Engineering is the best combined with Mining, if you level Engineering and Mining together you will save a lot of gold. Check out my Classic Mining leveling guide 1-300 if you want to level Mining. If you don't have Mining you will have to buy everything from the Auction House.

I recommend using Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide if you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt. The guide is in a small window on your main screen in-game, all the detail that you need to complete the quests are included. You’ll never have to switch back to a website, or even the in-game main map to see where you have to go or what’s next.

Approximate Materials Required:

60 x Rough Stone
66 x Copper Bar
60 x Coarse Stone
50 x Linen Cloth
5 x Silver Bar
110 x Bronze Bar - Made from 55 Copper Bar and 55 Tin Bar if you have mining.
30 x Heavy Stone
10 x Moss Agate or an extra 30 Heavy Stone (so 60 in total)
60 x Wool Cloth
15 x Medium Leather
4 x Steel Bar
120 x Solid Stone
170 x Mithril Bar
20 x Mageweave Cloth
60 x Dense Stone
225 x Thorium Bar
35 x Runecloth

Classic WoW Engineering Trainer Location

You can learn Classic Engineering from any of these NPCs below, but you have to reach level 5 before you can learn it.

Just click on any of these links below to see the trainer's exact location. You can also walk up to a guard in any city and ask where the Engineering trainer is, then it will be marked with a red flag on your map.

I recommend starting in Orgrimmar or Ironforge because you can also train Expert Engineering there so you can stay in one place until you reach 200. Trainers in other major cities will only teach you Journeyman recipes so you will have to go to Orgrimmar or Ironforge anyway.

Horde trainers:

Thund in Orgrimmar.
Graham Van Talen in Undercity.
Twizwick Sprocketgrind in Mulgore.
Mukdrak in Durotar.

Alliance trainers:

Jemma Quikswitch in Ironforge.
Sprite Jumpsprocket in Stormwind City.
Jenna Lemkenilli in Darkshore.
Deek Fizzlebizz in Loch Modan.
Bronk Guzzlegear in Dun Morogh.

Neutral trainers:

Tinkerwiz in The Barrens.

Leveling Classic Engineering

Buy a Blacksmith Hammer from the Blacksmith supply vendor, it's usually near your trainer. (or any general/trade goods vendor)

Gnome Engineering skill racial bonus

Gnome characters have +15 Engineering skill because of their passive Engineering Specialization. An extra 15 Engineering skill means recipes stay orange 15 points longer, so you can save a lot of gold by doing lower level recipes for 15 more points.

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.

30 - 50
30 x Handful of Copper Bolts - 30 Copper Bar
You will need around 30 of these later.

50 - 51
1 x Arclight Spanner - 6 Copper Bar
You will use this to craft engineering recipes so keep it.

51 - 75
30 x Rough Copper Bomb - 30 Copper Bar, 30 Handful of Copper Bolts, 60 Rough Blasting Powder, 30 Linen Cloth

Journeyman Engineering (75 - 135)

You can only train Engineering past 75 if you learn Journeyman Engineering. Not every Engineering trainer will teach you this skill, you have to find an Expert Engineer. (Requires level 10)

You can learn Journeyman Engineering from these NPCs below:

Horde trainers:

Franklin Lloyd in Undercity.
Nogg in Orgrimmar.

Alliance trainers:

Trixie Quikswitch in Ironforge.
Lilliam Sparkspindle in Stormwind City.

Keep these.

Make Flying Tiger Goggles if Silver Bar is expensive.

Weak Flux is sold by Engineering Supply vendors near your trainer.

125 - 135
10 x Standard Scope - 10 Bronze Tube, 10 Moss Agate
Start making Heavy Blasting Powder if you don't have any Moss Agate, or it's really expensive.

Expert Engineering (135 - 200)

You can only train Engineering past 150 if you learn Expert Engineering. Not every Engineering trainer will teach you this skill, you have to find an Artisan Engineer. (Requires level 20)

You can learn Expert Engineering from Roxxik in Orgrimmar or from Springspindle Fizzlegear in Ironforge.

135 - 150
- 30 x Heavy Blasting Powder - 30 Heavy Stone
- 15 x Whirring Bronze Gizmo - 30 Bronze Bar, 15 Wool Cloth
You will need 30 Heavy Blasting Powder and 15 Whirring Bronze Gizmo later, so make these now and you should reach 150 skill point.

150 - 160
15 x Bronze Framework - 30 Bronze Bar, 15 Medium Leather, 15 Wool Cloth
Keep these too.

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.

160 -175
15 x Explosive Sheep - 30 Heavy Blasting Powder, 15 Whirring Bronze Gizmo, 15 Bronze Framework, 30 Wool Cloth
Keep 5 of these, you might need it if you choose Goblin Engineering at 200.

175 -176
1 x Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor - 4 Steel Bar
Keep this, you will need it to craft some of the Engineering recipes.

176 - 195
60 x Solid Blasting Powder - 120 Solid Stone
Save these because you will need them later.

195 - 200
7 x Mithril Tube - 21 Mithril Bar
Stop making these when you reach 200. Keep 6 Mithril Tubes, because you might need them if you choose Gnomish Engineering at 200.

Artisan Engineering (200 - 300)

You can only train Engineering past 225 if you learn Artisan Engineering. Not every Engineering trainer will teach you this skill, you have to find a Master Engineer.

You can learn Artisan Engineering from Buzzek Bracketswing in Tanaris at Gadgetzan. (He's standing right outside the Inn, on the left side, near the mailbox.) You need to be level 35 or higher otherwise he will tell you that you don't have the required level.

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

Full list of recipes:

You can start the quest for both Goblin and Gnome engineering from Tinkerwiz in Barrens at Rachet. You must be level 30 to start these quests

200 - 216
20 x Unstable Trigger - 20 Mithril Bar, 20 Mageweave Cloth, 20 Solid Blasting Powder
Save these.

35 x Thorium Widget - 105 Thorium Bar, 35 Runecloth
The recipe is sold by Gearcutter Cogspinner in Ironforge and by Sovik in Orgrimmar.

It will be yellow for the last few points so you might not reach 285. But you can just go to the next step. (you have to make a bit more from the next recipe)

285 - 300
20 x Thorium Tube - 120 Thorium Bar
Schematic: Thorium Tube is sold by Xizzer Fizzbolt in Winterspring at Everlook in the first building to the right.
