If survival was your first priority, you could never be a real Goblin Engineer!

—Zap Farflinger, upon giving the Dimensional Ripper - Everlook Schematic

Goblin Engineering is one of two disciplines engineers may specialize in upon attaining level 20 and 200 skill. (The other is Gnome Engineering.) Its innovation is diverse with items ranging from Inv helmet 49 [Goblin Rocket Helmet] and Inv gizmo 06 [Goblin Bomb Dispenser] to Inv misc bomb 04 [The Big One]. This diversity can give Goblin Engineers the element of surprise and situational advantages when facing enemies.

Becoming a Goblin Engineer[]

Much like with Gnome Engineering, this is a three step process.

The referral[]

You first have to get a referral from an engineering trainer in a capital city. Remember, you do have to have 200 skill, and be at least level 30 to be eligible.

The pledge[]

The pledge is no longer required and is not a step in the process.

Showing your work[]

The trainer will ask you to show examples of your work. You will be handing over:

Raw mats breakdown:

Having done that, you are issued your Inv letter 17 [Goblin Engineer Membership Card], which entitles you to training on the 'goblin engineer only' engineering recipes. Congratulations! You have specialized in Goblin Engineering!

Your membership card[]

Prior to the release of Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Wrath of the Lich King, having completed the exercises above, you were given a Inv letter 17 [Goblin Engineer Membership Card]. It remained valid for 14 days of 'played time', not 14 real days.

If you ever found yourself without this card, you could pay 2 gold in dues to the Goblin Engineering trainer (still Nixx Sprocketspring) and get a new one. Since the release of Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Wrath of the Lich King, Goblin Engineering is added to your book as a skill.

An added benefit of renewing your membership prior to patch 3.2.2 was that you would be sent a renewal gift of some useful engineering schematic. Inv scroll 06 [Schematic: Pet Bombling] formerly could only be acquired this way. However, this item now drops in Gnomeregan.

Goblin Engineering items[]

  • Goblin Engineering items require specialization in Goblin Engineering to craft.
  • Some Engineering items which have 'Goblin' in the title do not require specialization to craft or use, e.g. Inv misc enggizmos 10 [Goblin Jumper Cables].
  • While some Goblin Engineering items require specialization to use, others do not. Some are tradable, some are BoP.

Switching Specializations[]

Quotes[]

From the Manual of Engineering Disciplines:

"Your want to know about goblin Engineering? Try asking one of their best and brightest engineers about it - I think his name is 'Nubby Stumpfingers.' Want to know why he's named that? THAT'S Goblin Engineering." — Ringo Tragediction, Gnome Engineer

"Say what you want about us Goblins, but I will tell you this: WE HAVE EXPLOSIVES!" — Yazz Nitrospork, Goblin Bombardier
