Engineering 1 - 375 Leveling Guide
We present for your reading pleasure a guide on the best way to “power” skill to the Engineering profession in World of Warcraft. We’ve gone and found the cheapest items to create that don’t require super expensive recipes. As a matter of a fact, outside of the Outland recipes almost all of the recipes can be obtained from the trainers!
Before you decide that maxing Engineering is for you, prepare yourself for some serious expense. Figure out if this really is the profession that you want. The first step is getting from skill level 1 to 300. To do this will take in the neighborhood of 400 gold in supplies, so be prepared.
For the skill 1 - 300 trip you will need the following main ingredients and many more minor ones: many (100 each) Rough, Course,Heavy and Solid Stones, 50 Dense Stones, 55 Copper Bars, 10 Silver Bars, 55 Bronze Bars, 20 Iron Bars, 5 Steel Bars, 130 Mithril Bars, 160 Thorium Bars, 10 Wooden Stock, 30 Weak Flux, 50 Heavy Leather, 10 Wool Cloth, 10 Mageweave Cloth, and 35 Rune Cloth. As you can see the material requirements are fairly steep. If you’re near the Auction House then you can pretty much figure out how much you’ll need to spend.
Once you reach 300, things are just getting started. The trip from 300-375 is at least 10x harder and can be up to 10x more expensive as well! Depending on your server you could pay up to 3000 gold for the mats to hit skill level 375. On most servers it will end up costing you around 2,000 to 3,000 gold unless you spend a long time farming on your own.
For skill levels 300 - 375 the exact materials depend largely on the luck you have getting skill points. With any luck this is a cheaper profession than most other professions.
