TBC Classic Engineering Profession and Leveling 1-375 Guide

Engineering uses ores, metals, and stone to craft. It can be quite expensive to train and maintain, so pairing it with Mining can be quite beneficial, especially early on when materials will be more expensive. Mining will allow you to farm your own materials without needing to buy them on the auction house.

Engineering is a very popular profession choice for tanks as it offers high-stamina trinkets very early on. That being said, all classes and roles can benefit from Engineering as the Goggles it can create are also very strong.

You may also find that Engineering can be used to complement your goldmaking in TBC Classic. For more information on this among other methods involving alternative professions, please see our separate guide on the topic:

You can learn Apprentice all the way through Artisan Engineering from any Engineering trainer, which are found in capital cities.

This will mark its location on your map, allowing you to easily find them and get the Engineering skill.

To get past 300 skill level, you will need to talk with a Master Engineering trainer in Outland, which can be found at:

• [H] Zebig in Hellfire Peninsula, around coordinates (55,38);

To become a Gnomish Engineer, you will need to complete a quest. The first part of this quest is The Pledge of Secrecy / The Pledge of Secrecy, which can be picked up from either Tinkmaster Overspark in Ironforge or Oglethorpe Obnoticus in Booty Bay. Once you turn in this first quest, you will be able to get the main quest: Show Your Work / Show Your Work. This requires you to turn in:

• 6 x Mithril Tube
• 1 x Accurate Scope
• 2 x Advanced Target Dummy

If you do choose to specialize in Gnomish Engineering, there are a number of specialty items that you can use in TBC Classic.

• Gnomish Battle Chicken — The Battle Chicken is still relevant in TBC Classic for the nice Battle Squawk buff it offers a group.
• Gnomish Poultryizer — A very nice Stamina trinket that tanks will desire. The on-use effect can also save you in some sticky situations, assuming it does not backfire...
• Nigh Invulnerability Belt — This is worth mentioning as many PvP players in particular will look to use this item as the shield can often save one's life.
• Ultrasafe Transporter: Gadgetzan — This can be used to teleport you to Gadgetzan once every 4 hours.
• Ultrasafe Transporter: Toshley's Station — Alliance players can use this to teleport to Toshley's Station in Blade's Edge Mountains once every 4 hours.

To become a Goblin Engineer, you will need to complete a quest. The first part of this quest is The Pledge of Secrecy from Nixx Sprocketspring in Gadgetzan. Once you turn in this first quest, you will be able to get the main quest Show Your Work. This requires you to turn in:

• 20 x Big Iron Bomb
• 20 x Solid Dynamite
• 5 x Explosive Sheep

If you do choose to specialize in Goblin Engineering, there are a number of specialty items that you can use in TBC Classic.

• Goblin Jumper Cables XL — Jumper Cables are still relevant in TBC Classic for their high chance to resurrect a dead party member. While these do not require Goblin Engineering to be used, you must be a Goblin Engineer to make them.
• Goblin Rocket Launcher — A very nice Stamina trinket that tanks will desire. The on-use effect can be used at the start of a pull to gain high threat on a single mob and stun it.
• The Bigger One — The strongest Engineering bomb available in TBC Classic. These do not require Goblin Engineering to be used, only to make them.
• Super Sapper Charge — A stronger version of the Goblin Sapper Charge. These do not require Goblin Engineering to be used, only to make them.
• Dimensional Ripper - Everlook — This can be used to teleport you to Everlook once every 4 hours.
• Dimensional Ripper - Area 52 — This can be used to teleport you to Area 52 in Netherstorm once every 4 hours.

Aside from the specialty items, there are a handful of items that are useful for all Engineers. The epic, crafted goggles are very strong in the early gear stages and can be upgraded when the Isle of Quel'danas is released. Aside from the crafted gear options, there are a number of fun items and consumables that can be crafted for profit.

• Flying Machine Control — 60% flying speed mount
• Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control — 280% flying speed mount.

• Zapthrottle Mote Extractor — This is used to extract motes of various types from the many different gas clouds found throughout all of the zones in Outland. It can be used to farm high amounts of Primals in a short amount of time.

These epic Engineering Helmets are found in the new raid Sunwell Plateau on the Isle of Quel'Danas and can drop from any of the trash mobs. The patterns themselves are Bind on Use, letting you trade them freely. Once crafted however, the Helmets are Bind on Pickup, preventing them from being traded. These helmets are direct upgrades of the previous, lower level Engineering goggles.
