[Obscurus1999]

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

Hi Gnimo, can you tell me how you didn't use any of the adamantite bars pls?

[Kalarii]

There has to be an alternative for the Mithril Gyro shot. That requires way too much luck as it is green.

[ilexa]

worst guide so far

[Endrju1992]

Neutral: Fedryen Swiftspear in Cenarion Refuge, Zangarmarsh

You actually need a friendly reputation status.

[petsdoh]

Saw this asked earlier but don't see a response. The trainers don't have Wormhole Generator recipe for me. Can anyone tell me where to find it?

[dagax]

Wormhole Generator is a WOTLK recipe, and as such must be learned from a Grand Master Engineering Trainer, AKA any trainer in Northrend.
On the off-chance that something's wrong with your character here's a list of those trainers:

Binkie Brightgear Neutral, Icecrown

Timofey Oshenko Neutral, Dalaran

Chief Engineer Leveny Horde, Borean Tundra

Jamesina Watterly Horde, Howling Fjord

Sock Brightbolt Alliance, Borean Tundra

Tisha Longbridge Alliance, Howling Fjord

If the recipe is not taught by these trainers and you don't already know it make a ticket.

I don't check the forums very often but I do play actively, so a second disclaimer should be made: this guide requires an iq of at least 70 to use proficiently.
I apologize to anyone who thinks they have been wronged here, but the guide works perfectly and no amount of mats on any guide should be taken literally because of the RNG nature of MMOs.

[kimaka9]

Leveled Enginnering following this guide, ended up spending 5-6k gold and it was very accurate

[sakatabanana]

I am actually amazed how accurate this guide is taking into consideration significant risk of green recipe crafting. Followed this guide. Other then red gems or whatever they are called, I haven't spent a dime!

[wuchko900]

Supremely useful, thank you bro!!!
