1-375 Engineering Guide

Engineering Overview

Engineering is the profession that will allow you to use all of the “cool toys”. Yes it is expensive to level. Yes, another profession may help you get further in PvE, but it is one of the coolest professions to have. Engineers get access to everything from Rocket Launchers, to Deathrays, to Shrinkrays, to little gadgets that turn other players into chickens (I mean, how cool is that?!). Did someone on your team die? Use Jumper Cables to resurrect them! Are you deep in an instance and need to repair your gear? Drop a repair bot! For the player that just needs to have cool tricks up their sleeve, Engineering is the way to go.
Specialization – Goblin Engineering and Gnomish Engineering
At skill level 200 an Engineer can choose whether they want to specialize in Goblin Engineering or Gnomish Engineering.
Goblin Engineers get access to all the cool bombs and guns. They have a bit of an advantage in damage done, but also have a high likelihood of hurting themselves while attempting to hurt others! If you like big bombs and big guns and living on the edge, Goblin Engineering is probably for you.
Gnomish Engineers get access to the neat toys and tricks. Gnomish engineers have a bit of an advantage in crowd control and escaping. Occasionally though, this plan can backfire having detrimental results. If you like being an unstoppable little pest with all kinds of neat tricks, Gnomish Engineering is probably for you.
Below is a guide for how to level your engineering 1-375 the quickest and easiest way possible. The material amounts needed are a close estimate. Overbuying would probably be in your best interests. In the “notes” category you will find directions on how many crafted items to save for later recipes. The rest can be sold to a vendor or on the auction house for a decent profit in many cases. Enjoy engineering, and on with the leveling!
