Re-activated my WOW account with the release of Cataclysm on Deember 7th. Rather than leveling one of my current toons, I’ve foolishly elected to start over with a Goblin. I mean…it’s a Goblin! What other race is so likely to nick your wallet and blow you up “real good”?!
It’ll be some time before I’ve got back into Engineering with the new toon and all.. Will post the next update when I’m able.
Due to “Real Life” and other pressures, I seem to have hit a wall both in playing World of Warcraft and blogging about it. Taking some time off of both. On a related note, if you are into World of Warcraft fishing, check out:

A site I can only aspire to matching for Engineering “stuff” in my dreams.
See y’all soon…
Apprentice level Engineering is fairly straightforward. There are 5 recipes to push your Engineering skill up to level 50, the level at which you can train for Journeyman Engineering:
Rough Blasting Powder
Rough Dynamite
Crafted Light Shot
Handful of Copper Bolts
Rough Copper Bomb
With such a limited list, this should be fairly easy to determine which items to build and in what quantity. Let’s do this… Read the rest of this entry »
There are several guides for power leveling Engineering, but it’s:
The guides themselves are not bad, per se, but I’d like to go through the steps of creating such a guide with more complete disclosure. I’m telling you up front that I plan to make this an (approximately) 7 part post. That is, 1 post per “level” of Engineering (Apprentice, Journeyman, etc.) plus this lead in post. It should be noted that higher levels of Engineering do have waaaayy more schematics than lower levels, so I may split some of those up further.
NOTE: I may veer off course here and there and still make other posts, but this project alone will keep me going for the next several weeks.
On to my planned methodology:
I’m off celebrating the 4th of July.
Go blow something up real good!
Back in patch 3.1, Engineers received:
High-powered Flashlight
Binds when equipped
Unique-Equipped
Trinket
Requires Level 49
Equip: Improves hit rating by 24 (3.04% @ L49).
Use: Summon a ring of light on a specific location that lasts for 3 min. (1 Hour Cooldown)
This caused lots of forum QQ and controversy, including posts like this:
To Engineers Complaining about the Flashlight
Which, while very amusing, may not be the entire story. Let’s take a closer look at our maligned flashlight.
There are a number of attainable toys that either:
mimic Engineering crafted toys
are toys that seem like they should be Engineering crafted
One of them is the X-52 Rocket Helmet attainable from an Outlands quest.
Today I thought I’d gather together all the Engineering bug fixes/patches since the release of World of Warcraft. These are based strictly on what is documented in the 1.0.2 to the 3.1.3 Patch Notes even though there are some known, undocumented changes. Without further ado…
So you’ve leveled Engineering to 450 and you’re wondering where to sign-up to get the motorcycle:
Horde: Mechano-hog
Alliance: Mekgineer’s Chopper
Well…it’s easy. But it’ll hurt…
