WoW Forever Engineering Leveling Guide 1-300

Make mostly Crafted Light Shot, Rough Boomstick, Gyrochronatom and Thorium Widget, about 266 to 380 crafts, and train Journeyman at 75, Expert at 150 and Artisan at 225. To level Engineering from 1 to 300 in WoW Forever, make mostly Crafted Light Shot for Apprentice, Rough Boomstick for Journeyman, Gyrochronatom for Expert and Thorium Widget for Artisan (if you find the recipe). Plan on about 266 to 380 crafts, plus about 131 to 335 crafts for parts you make first, mostly from Copper Bar and Mithril Bar, so Mining pairs well with it. Train Journeyman at 75, Expert at 150 and Artisan at 225.

Skill-up colors (est.)

  • Orangealways gives a point
  • Yellowusually gives a point
  • Greengives a point less and less often; the point where green starts is approximate
  • Greygives no points

Craft counts and skill-up colors are estimates; 2 recipe items have no known source in WoW Forever yet (original game sellers under Ranks).

Goblin or Gnomish

In the original game, each recipe below was taught only to Goblin or only to Gnomish engineers. WoW Forever may not keep that split, so confirm which one teaches the item you want before you choose.

Goblin Engineer

WhyPick Goblin for damage. In the original game, the Goblin Sapper Charge, The Big One, the Goblin Bomb Dispenser and the Goblin Rocket Helmet were Goblin recipes, and that charge made Goblin the raid choice.

Gnomish Engineer

WhyPick Gnomish for PvP control. In the original game, the Gnomish Net-o-Matic Projector, the Gnomish Shrink Ray, the Gnomish Battle Chicken and the Gnomish Mind Control Cap were all Gnomish recipes.

Good to know

  • A Goblin or Gnomish tag marks a recipe the original game taught only to that specialization; see Goblin or Gnomish above.
  • Most of these need high Engineering skill or a high level, and the WoW Forever beta stops at level 30, so how they play in WoW Forever is not confirmed yet.
