Engineering is great for building fanciful gadgets, and for making bombs for PVP use. Engineering is not good for making gold with. Still, there's nothing quite as fun as turning a Warsong Gulch flag carrier into a chicken. Or hitting someone with a Gnomish Death Ray and one-shotting them.
Other Things To Know
Remember the cycle: build for ten levels then train. Training every ten levels will ensure that you have the recipes we're going to use.
Keep an eye on the Auction House for Engineering recipes you’ll want to buy.
Sometimes we’ll have to make yellow recipes in this guide, but we’re going to try to stay entirely in orange for the guaranteed level up.
When a trainer can no longer train you, he’ll tell you where the trainer you need is.

Crafting Ladder
Engineering to 30
Make Rough Blasting Powder until you ding to crafting level 30. Save some powders for later constructions. Vendor the powders when done.
Engineering to 50
Make enough Handful of Copper Bolts to ding to 50. Save some 30 of the bolts. Vendor the remaining bolts when done.
Engineering to 75
Make Copper Tubes until you skill up to 75. Copper Tubes sometimes sell in the AH, but if you’re lazy or in a hurry you should just vendor them.
At level 75, you’ll train to be a Journeyman Engineer. Remember to buy all the recipes you can every 10 levels.
Engineering to 85
Make Coarse Blasting Powder to get to level 85. You’ll need some 15 of these for future recipes.
Engineering to 90
Make Coarse Dynamite until you hit level 90. Vendor it and move along.
Engineering to 100
Make about 10 or 15 Copper Modulators to get your skill up to 100. These can be used in other Engineering efforts, and they sometimes sell in the AH.
Engineering to 105
Make enough Silver Contacts to get to skill 105. These may sell in the AH, and you will use them in other Engineering efforts.
Engineering to 110
Now we move into Bronze. Make 20 or so Bronze Tubes. We’re going to sue these later, so save them. Get to 110 on this recipe.
Engineering to 130
The Flying Tiger Goggles look cool when worn. They are far from epic, so don’t get too attached to them. Make enough Flying Tiger Goggles to ding to Engineering 130. These are great to disenchant, or vendor if you can’t do that.

Engineering to 135
The Standard Scope can sell in the AH. Every twink and even some levelers want them for their ranged weapons. Make these until you hit 135. If you make rifles to sell, attaching one of these let’s you charge more than mats, and make a profit.
Engineering to 145
Make Whirring Bronze Gizmos until you ding to 145. Save 7 or so of them for later efforts. These might sell in the AH, or just vendor them.
Engineering to 160
Make enough Bronze Frameworks so you level to 160 in Engineering. These are used to make a few fun things so put a few of them in the bank.
Engineering to 170
Make enough Iron Struts to ding to level 170. These can be put in the AH or vendored.
Engineering to 175
Make Ice Deflectors until you get to 175. This is a fun but mostly useless gizmo, so vendor it when done.
Engineering to 180
Make Solid Blasting Powder until you get to level 180. You should make extras, since you’re going to be needing more of these later.
Engineering to 195
All the same things we said about Standard Scopes apply to Accurate Scopes. Make these until you get to skill 195.
Engineering to 200
Make Mithril Tubes to get your skill to 200. You’ll use these later, so have around 20 on hand.
Engineering to 210
Make some 15-20 Unstable Triggers, to get to level 210. Put a few of these in the bank, because you’ll use them to make some fun things later.
Engineering to 230
Make the Deadly Scope until you ding to 230. Again, a scope on a rifle is a great AH seller, and the scopes do ok on their own as well.

Engineering to 245
Make Rose Colored Goggles to ding to 245. Disenchant or AH them.
Engineering to 260
Make Mithril Gyro-Shot to hit 260. These sometimes will sell in the AH, because many classes with ranged weapons need the ammo.
Engineering to 280
Make a bunch of Thorium Widgets to get to level 280. Bank or vendor these, you’ll use them to make fun things in Engineering.
Engineering to 300
You’ve done it, you’ve made it to the old cap. Take a moment to bask in your success. Then make enough Thorium Tubes to ding to 300. Save these (and you may need extras) for future efforts in the power-leveling process.
Now the trainer will make you a Master Engineer. The epic headpieces available to Engineering are great. Making them is going to be a pain! Get trained, and then get back to work!
Engineering to 310
Make Handful of Fel Iron Bolts until you ding to 310. You’ll use these later, so make a bunch extra.

Engineering to 315
Make enough Elemental Blasting Powder to hit level 315. You’ll need 25 or so of these for future efforts.
Engineering to 320
Make Fel Iron Casing until you skill up to 320. You’ll need a bunch of the later, about 25 or so, so hold onto them.
Engineering to 325
Time to make more ammo. Make Fel Iron Shells to ding to level 325. Sell them in the AH, or vendor them.
Engineering to 330
Make Adamantite Frames to hit 330. Make enough so that you have some 25 for later use.
Engineering to 335
Try to make as few Fel Iron Muskets as you can. These babies are expensive. But they are likely to sell in the AH. Get to 335 and then stop.
Engineering to 340
Make Adamantite Shells to ding to 340. Vendor or AH the ammo.
Engineering to 350
Make the Cogspinner Goggles of... to get to 350. Just vendor these, it takes a fellow engineer to wear them.
Engineering to 355
Make enough Hardened Adamantite Tubes to get to Engineering Level 355. You’ll be needing about 20 of these later.
Engineering to 360
Make the Adamantite Rifle until you ding to 360. Slap a Khorium Scope on the ones you make and put them in the AH.
Engineering to 375
Remember those Adamantite Rifles you just made? Now make Khorium Scopes to get to 375. Put the scopes on the rifles, and charge a huge price for them in the AH.
Now you’re done – you’ve mastered Engineering.
