    Public disclaimer, since some people seem to have the average IQ of a towel: the rates when a recipe goes from orange to yellow aren't equal to 100% so you might find yourself having to buy more materials.
    Edited: June 11, 2022 Reason: Smoke Flare reputation requirements fixed, thanks to Endrju1992.


  2. is there anything that engineering sells that makes a profit on the ah? no hate but seems a bit pointless other than the nitroboost for pvp

  3. Great guide. Works great, just changed few things so I can just travel AH<>Trainer without going Zangar, bit more expensive.

    With engineer you can sell few things, but far from "gold making" profession. It's the most OP profession in other regards, be it PVP or PVE or just general convenience.

    Repair bots - people buy them to make Jeeves
    Mechano -hog - decent profit there if you have time to camp pipe in K3
    Few other things, some parts sell good, some trinkets sell sometimes.

  4. Where can I get the wormhole generator, none of the engineering masters have it for me?

  5. buenas... en mi caso hubo un problema con la misión de ingeniería empece aceptando la quest de los goblin pero quise pasarme a gnomo, así que olvide toda la ingeniería para empezar de 0 .. y ahora ninguna de las dos facciones me da la misión de la ingeniería... por favor ayúdenme...

  6. Thanks a lot, awesome!

    I've found 230-250 to be much cheaper doing 4-6 Mithril Casing then 2-3 Hi-Explosive Bomb.
    On the Outland part crafting 10x Handful of Fel Iron Bolts isn't listed. (You can skip making Elemental Blasting Powder if you have some left from leveling Eng on another toon)

    yep this guide is very very very bad, its completely wrong. you need ALOT more of everything. I immediatly ran into trouble on the FIRST item craft : 1-40 - 20x Rough Blasting Powder (20 Rough Stones)

    it only brought me to 31 instead of 40. have had to buy ALOT more of every single mat in this guide. VERY BAD GUIDE


  9. Guide seem to be accurate.
    I leveled engineering last night from 0 - 350 on my gnome, and this is what I have to add...

    I had to farm "20x Heavy Stone" killing low level (~30) mobs, since the price for this is stupid on AH.
    I used only 15/20 Gold Bars.
    I used only 22/41 Mithril Bars.
    I used only 2/14 Star Ruby's and 4/28 Thick Leather.
    I used only 10/15 Silver Bars.

    Needed 10x Fel Iron Bar to make the Bolts.
    I used only 10/35 Motes of Fire and 20/70 Motes of Earth.
    I did not use any of the 12 Adamantite Bar's.

    Overall guide made it really smooth, but I had some leftovers.
    If you are not so good with Gold, or want to save as much as you can, I will advise you to follow it step by step.
    Buy what you are making at the moment from the list and keep on going.

    Green Smoke Flare from Fedryen Swiftspear in Cenarion Refuge, Zangarmarsh was a god send since every time I leveled engineering previously, the part from 340-350 was really hard and expensive.

    Gnome does have +15 Engineering skill, so that might have affected the end results, so take this with a grain of salt.
    However, I would still not buy 15 Silver Bars, 14 Star Ruby's, 41 Mithril Bars and 12 Adamantite Bar's from the get go since they are expensive, and would get them one by one, or stack at the time as I get to that point.
    Even if you do end up with some material leftovers, you can always resell them on AH anyway.

    Northrend part is easy, and kind of cant save you a lot of money anyway and it depends on if you plan to stop at ~410 for the enchants and bombs or go more for other stuff like Jeeves etc...

    Overall a nice guide all I can say. :D

  10. Greetings,

    Is there a trustworthy guide for the Lordaeron realm (or the version 3.3.5a). Please let me know. Thanks!
