WoW Engineering Guide 1-525

In this WoW Engineering guide I will show you how to level this profession as fast and cheap as possible.

Engineering is one of those professions that becomes considerably cheaper if you combine it with mining. The downside is that it'll take a lot longer than buying everything from the auction house. As such you'll have to decide what option works better for you.

If you're not at least level 80 you may wish to wait a bit with leveling engineering aswell. It'll take a lot of money while not providing too much benefit untill you get to the very high levels. If you're in this situation you can get help with leveling here.

Let's get started.

Leveling Engineering

First off start by learning Apprentice Engineering. Afterwards I recommend you buy [Gnomish Army Knife] as it means you won't have to get any of the other tools as seen in the tooltip. If this is out of your budget you will have to buy these from the vendor and create them with Engineering.
