PROFESSIONS · 1 TO 300 GUIDE
Engineering
Crafting · Updated October 30, 2026
Bombs, grenades, dynamite, goggles, gadgets and all kinds of gizmos. It's not the best money maker, but in PvP nothing beats it: a stunning grenade or a net wins duels your build alone would lose. It keeps the Gnomish and Goblin specializations.
What to pair it with: Mining: nearly everything uses stone and bars.
What changes in Forever
- The gnome racial changes: no more +15 Engineering. Instead their devices fail or backfire less often. Gnomes level it like everyone else.
- Gnomish Engineering and Goblin Engineering remain (at skill 200). Each branch's teleporter (to Gadgetzan and to Everlook) comes at 260.
- 28 Merchant's Favor schematics: the "SAF-T" and "EZ-Thro" line (safer, easier-to-throw bombs), Satchel of Copper/Bronze/Iron/Dark Iron Bombs, goggles, belts, Gnomish Army Knife, Loot-A-Rang and, at 300, Gnomish Poultryizer, Stealthman 52 and Ultralight Goblin Glider. Sold by Fritz Fizzle (Alliance, Redridge) and Fizzlefuse (Horde, near the Crossroads).
- Camping: Reagent Bot (20; sells reagents to everyone), Repair Bot (140; sells and repairs) and Anarchist's Workbench (300; advanced recipes).
- The Thorium Tube schematic binds on pickup in Forever: buy it on the leveling character.
- Legacy points at 150, 225 and 300, and the account-wide title "the Engineer" with the certification (300 and 1,000 Favor).
From 1 to 300, step by step
| 1-30 | Rough Blasting Powder ~60 Total: 60 Rough Stone Buy a Blacksmith Hammer first. Keep all the powder for the bombs at 51. |
|---|---|
| 30-50 | Handful of Copper Bolts ~30 Total: 30 Copper Bar Keep them too. At 50 train Journeyman (level 10). |
| 50-51 | Arclight Spanner 1 6 Copper Bar A tool many recipes and the Repair Bot need: don't sell it. |
| 51-75 | Rough Copper Bomb ~30 Total: 30 Copper Bar, 30 Handful of Copper Bolts, 60 Rough Blasting Powder, 30 Linen Cloth Yellow from 60. Use them while leveling: they stun. |
| 75-90 | Coarse Blasting Powder ~60 Total: 60 Coarse Stone Keep it for the dynamite. |
| 90-100 | Coarse Dynamite ~20 Total: 60 Coarse Blasting Powder, 20 Linen Cloth Area damage that helps while leveling. |
| 100-105 | Silver Contact ~5 Total: 5 Silver Bar If silver is pricey: Flying Tiger Goggles (30 Light Leather and 10 Tigerseye for 5). |
| 105-125 | Bronze Tube ~25 Total: 50 Bronze Bar, 25 Weak Flux Yellow the whole way. Weak Flux comes from the engineering vendor. At 125 train Expert (level 20, 50 silver). |
| 125-135 | Standard Scope ~10 Total: 10 Bronze Tube, 10 Moss Agate No Moss Agate? Make Heavy Blasting Powder instead. |
| 135-150 | Heavy Blasting Powder + Whirring Bronze Gizmo ~30 + ~15 Total: 30 Heavy Stone; 30 Bronze Bar and 15 Wool Cloth Make both, in this order: the sheep at 160 need both. Make 2 extra Gizmos if you want the Repair Bot. |
| 150-160 | Bronze Framework ~15 Total: 30 Bronze Bar, 15 Medium Leather, 15 Wool Cloth Keep them for the sheep. |
| 160-175 | Explosive Sheep ~15 Total: 15 Bronze Framework, 15 Whirring Bronze Gizmo, 30 Heavy Blasting Powder, 30 Wool Cloth Keep 5 in case you pick Goblin Engineering at 200. |

Cheaper route: 20 Solid Stone (10 powders) plus 20 Iron Bar, 20 Heavy Blasting Powder, 20 Silk Cloth (20 grenades) Solid Stone was expensive in the beta: Iron Grenade is the best PvP tool at this level, so it isn't wasted. The 20 Heavy Blasting Powder for the grenades are on top of the ones for the sheep. Heads-up: 200-250 uses 60 Solid Blasting Powder, so keep any you make. |
| 194-195 | Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor 1 4 Steel Bar Keep it: it's a tool. |
| 195-200 | Mithril Tube ~6 Total: 18 Mithril Bar Keep them in case you go Gnomish. At 200 train Artisan with Buzzek Bracketswing (Gadgetzan, level 35). |

Trainers
- Apprentice (1-75): no level requirement. Thund (Orgrimmar), Graham Van Talen (Undercity), Sprite Jumpsprocket (Stormwind), Jemma Quikswitch (Ironforge). Starting zones: Mukdrak (Razor Hill), Bronk Guzzlegear (Steelgrill's Depot, Dun Morogh), Jenna Lemkenilli (Auberdine) and Strange Hermit (Zephras Isle). Thunder Bluff and Darnassus have none.
- Journeyman (up to 150; skill 50 and level 10): Nogg (Orgrimmar), Franklin Lloyd (Undercity), Lilliam Sparkspindle (Stormwind), Trixie Quikswitch (Ironforge), Finbus Geargrind (Duskwood).
- Expert (up to 225; skill 125 and level 20, 50 silver): Roxxik (Orgrimmar) or Springspindle Fizzlegear (Ironforge).
- Artisan (up to 300; skill 200 and level 35): Buzzek Bracketswing, outside the Gadgetzan inn (Tanaris), by the mailbox. He also teaches the 200+ recipes.
What is worth the most
- Grenades and bombs (Iron Grenade, Thorium Grenade, Hi-Explosive Bomb): they stun and win duels and battlegrounds.
- Engineer goggles: some of the best head pieces while leveling.
- New Favor items: Ultralight Goblin Glider, Loot-A-Rang, Gnomish Army Knife and the bomb satchels.
- Teleporters to Gadgetzan (Gnomish) or Everlook (Goblin) from 260.
- The Repair Bot at camp: repairs in the middle of nowhere.
Tips
- Keep everything the route says to keep (powders, bolts, tubes, casings): later steps consume them.
- Don't leave it crafting unattended at 75 without Journeyman trained: you'll waste points.
- For PvP, pair it with Mining and always keep grenades on your bar.
- Pick your specialization calmly at 200: Goblin for bombs and damage, Gnomish for gadgets and utility. Shared recipes don't change the route.
- Fill Waylaid Supplies with ore and bars: Favor buys schematics you can't get otherwise.
What we don't know yet
- 225-300 uses the classic route, which couldn't be tested in the beta (level 30 cap). We'll review it in launch week.
- The exact Gnomish and Goblin quests and recipes in Forever: expected to match Classic.
- How much exactly the new gnome racial reduces device failures.
- Exact Favor cost per schematic (beta data).
This guide is updated every time Blizzard publishes changes. Whatever is still missing goes in as soon as it is known, and the date at the top tells you when we last touched it.
