WoW Forever Engineering Leveling Guide

Engineering Route by Skill

Craft each step to the end of its band, then switch, and keep the output unless the notes say otherwise. Several bands make more than they need for skill, because the extras feed bombs later.

Planned crafts add expected misses to one craft per point. We assume the Classic rule, where the chance of a point falls evenly from 100% at yellow to 0% at gray. That rule isn't confirmed for Forever, so treat the counts as estimates. The client doesn't store green, so the green column is our midpoint of yellow and gray.Source: Wago SkillLineAbility, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Most steps need tools in your bags. The client lists a Blacksmith Hammer from skill 30 and an Arclight Spanner from 125.Source: Wago SpellTotems and TotemCategory, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026. Keep the Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor you make at 194, because WoW-Professions says later recipes use it too.Source: WoW-Professions Engineering route, checked Nov 8, 2026. The 30 Heavy Blasting Powder at 135 should carry you a few points past 140, so 15 Whirring Bronze Gizmos finish that band.

Solid Blasting Powder turns gray at 195, so the 175-194 band is slow by design. Those 52 crafts also supply the powder for the triggers and bombs after 200.

For camp objects and Forever's changes to the craft, use the Engineering guide. To compare professions, see Profession leveling. To look up another schematic, use the Profession Recipes tool.

What to Buy Before Each Rank Cap

Buy one trip at a time. Counts are planned crafts times reagents, with parts the route makes already taken out. Each row lists materials for bands that start in that range, so a band can run past the cap shown.

Silver Contact makes five per craft, so the 5 Silver Bars cover more contacts than the route needs.Source: Wago SpellEffect, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026. If silver costs too much, make 5 Flying Tiger Goggles instead, for 30 Light Leather and 10 Tigerseye. For your character's leveling route, compare the addons in Zygor versus RestedXP.

Metal, Stone and Cloth Totals

WoW-Professions recommends pairing Engineering with Mining, because most of the route is bars and stone.Source: WoW-Professions Engineering route, checked Nov 8, 2026. Added together, the shopping list above is:

Weak Flux is the one vendor reagent on the list, at a client price of 1 silver, so all 26 cost 26 silver.Source: Wago ItemSparse, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026. Engineering Supply vendors sell it near your trainer.Source: WoW-Professions Engineering route, checked Nov 8, 2026.

What the Output Is Worth

Selling every leftover item to a vendor returns about 22 gold 13 silver at client-stored prices. The Thorium Widgets are 6 gold 50 silver, Thorium Tubes 6 gold, and the 64 Hi-Explosive Bombs 4 gold 80 silver.Source: Wago ItemSparse, build 1.60.1.70862, checked Nov 8, 2026. Keep the bombs and sheep if you'll use them, because vendor price is only a floor.

Where to Train Each Rank

Apprentice has no level requirement. Thunder Bluff and Darnassus have no Engineering trainer, so Tauren and Night Elf players should plan a trip.Source: WoW-Professions Engineering route, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Go to Gadgetzan as soon as you reach 200, because WoW-Professions says Buzzek also teaches the recipes above 200.

Buy a Blacksmith Hammer with your first training. Most trainers have a vendor nearby who sells it. Dun Morogh and Zephras Isle trainers don't, so buy it from Thrawn Boltar in Kharanos or Aedi Thriceforged in Shen'dar Village.

Schematics and Specializations

Two late rows need a schematic you buy. Sovik in Orgrimmar and Gearcutter Cogspinner in Ironforge sell Thorium Widget, and Xizzer Fizzbolt at Everlook in Winterspring sells Thorium Tube. WoW-Professions says the Thorium Tube schematic binds when you buy it.Source: WoW-Professions Engineering route, checked Nov 8, 2026.

This route skips Gnomish and Goblin recipes, so you can follow it with either choice. WoW-Professions places the specialization at Engineering 200 and character level 30. It also says the Gnome racial no longer adds Engineering skill.

Swaps When a Material Is Short

The client lists no recipe item for these, which points to a trainer. Confirm with yours before you buy materials.Source: Wago ItemSparse, build 1.60.1.70862, no "Schematic:" item with these names, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Iron Grenade stays yellow longer than Solid Blasting Powder, but you still need the powder for the triggers and bombs after 200.

Where the Sources Disagree

MetaBot calculates a different route, with Copper Tube at 75, Aquadynamic Fish Attractor at 145, Hi-Impact Mithril Slugs from 205 and Thorium Shells at the end. It labels most trainer learn skills as estimates, because the client stores a minimum skill of 1 for every recipe on this route and doesn't say when a trainer offers it.Source: MetaBot.GG Engineering leveling route, checked Nov 8, 2026. If your trainer doesn't offer a row yet, keep crafting the previous one while it still gives points.

WoW-Professions couldn't test above 225 because of the beta level cap. Above that skill, treat these rows as a plan. Our Engineering guide keeps a Classic baseline route, so don't mix its rows with these.
