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 WoW 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.

If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend using Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide. The guide is in a small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quest is included.

Approximate Materials Required:

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:

Alliance trainers:

Neutral trainers:

Leveling Classic Engineering

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

  • 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 - 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:

Alliance trainers:

  • 90 - 100
    20 x Coarse Dynamite - 60 Coarse Blasting Powder, 20 Linen Cloth
  • 105 - 125
    25 x Bronze Tube - 50 Bronze Bar, 25 Weak Flux

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

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 238 - 250
    20 x Hi-Explosive Bomb - 40 Mithril Casings, 20 Unstable Trigger, 40 Solid Blasting Powder
  • 250 - 260
    30 x Dense Blasting Powder - 60 Dense Stone

    You might need to make more than 30 to reach 260.

  • 260 - 285
    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)

I hope you liked this Classic Engineering leveling guide, congratulations on reaching 300!

WoW Leveling Guide 1-60 Do you want to reach level 60 fast?

I recommend Zygor's Leveling Guide. The guide is in a small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quest is 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. The guide is available for both Horde and Alliance.

I use Zygor's guide for leveling and I highly recommend it.
