Economical engineering training

This is a guide on how to train Engineering economically.

As this is intended to save you money, buy only the materials you are sure you will need. If you run out, buy more. It is only more cost-effective to gather your own materials rather than buying them if you make very little gold per hour (for example, if your main source of income are dailies or a gathering profession). Avoid having extras, but if you do, try to sell them back on the Auction House.

Alternative Path

Here is an alternative way of leveling from 300 to 350.

Skill	Product	Qty.	Materials (Total/Covered)	Notes
300	Handful of Fel Iron Bolts	80	1 Fel Iron Bar	See instructions below
	Fel Iron Casing	40	3 Fel Iron Bar
	Elemental Blasting Powder	1	1 Mote of Fire 2 Mote of Earth	Makes 4
320	Fel Iron Musket	10	1 Heavy Stock 6 Handful of Fel Iron Bolts 3 Fel Iron Casing
330	Adamantite Grenade	5	4 Adamantite Bar 2 Handful of Fel Iron Bolts 1 Elemental Blasting Powder
335	Icy Blasting Primers	1	1 Primal Water 2 Elemental Blasting Powder 2 Netherweave Cloth	See instructions below. Makes 10.
335 or 336	Frost Grenade	10	1 Icy Blasting Primers 1 Fel Iron Casing 1 Handful of Fel Iron Bolts
345 or 346	Felsteel Stabilizer	5 or 4	2 Felsteel Bar

Make all of the Handful of Fel Iron Bolts (!!make these first!!), Fel Iron Casing, and Elemental Blasting Powder first. They should get you to 320 or very close. Save them you will need them later. If you didn't get to 320 make Fel Iron Bomb till you get to 320.

At 335 make 1 Icy Blasting Primers. Only 1 should give you enough for the Frost Grenade later.

Alternative Totals

Grand Master Engineering

Grand Master Engineering allows 450 maximum skill, requires level 65 and 350 skill.

Note: Items will go green quickly in this tier, some after only 5 points.

Skill	Product	Qty.	Materials (Total/Covered)
350	Handful of Cobalt Bolts	xx	2 Cobalt Bar
370	Volatile Blasting Trigger	xx	3 Cobalt Bar 1 Crystallized Water
375	Overcharged Capacitor	xx	4 Cobalt Bar 1 Crystallized Earth
390	Froststeel Tube	xx	8 Cobalt Bar 1 Crystallized Water
400	Hyperspeed Accelerators	xx	6 Saronite Bar 4 Crystallized Air
405	Diamond-cut Refractor Scope	xx	1 Froststeel Tube 2 Handful of Cobalt Bolts
410	Mammoth Cutters	xx	1 Saronite Bar 1 Volatile Blasting Trigger
420	Noise Machine	5-15	2 Froststeel Tube 2 Overcharged Capacitor 8 Handful of Cobalt Bolts
425	Global Thermal Sapper Charge (requires Goblin Engineering)	xx	1 Saronite Bar 1 Volatile Blasting Trigger
435	Gnomish Army Knife	10+	10 Saronite Bar 1 Blacksmith Hammer 1 Skinning Knife 1 Mining Pick

If you don't have Goblin Engineering, you can substitute Saronite Razorheads at only 2 Saronite Bars each. Once at 445, you can make your class headpiece (example, Truesight Ice Blinders) for 1 skill up point. This is trainable at 440 but is one of the few yellow recipes beyond 445, and you will probably want to make one anyway. Then keep making (depending on available gems) Heartseeker Scopes or Gnomish Army Knives until 450.
