Skill-up path

For every 25 skill points, what the trainer teaches that is orange at that skill (a sure point each time), the one that stays orange longest first. Where nothing is orange, the yellow recipes, which usually give a point. Your skill from the list below marks where you are.

Recipes

252 recipes

learnyellowgreengreyThe skill where each recipe can be learned, then turns yellow, green and grey. Orange recipes always give a point. A trainer's skill requirement isn't in the game files, so the learn number shows only for recipes an item teaches, and with your skill set the list assumes a trainer recipe can be learned 20 points before it turns yellow, as 9 in 10 item-taught engineering recipes can.

  • Gnomish Engineer Allows an engineer to make fantastic, yet unreliable gnomish devices.
  • Goblin Engineer Allows an engineer to make lethal goblin devices.

What creators found, checked

From beta videos by bigger WoW creators. Each line sums up what the creator said at that moment of the video, and the badge says how it holds up against the game files.

  • Matches the files Engineering: a parachute cloak with charges (slow fall like Classic's) that can be recharged with an 'Ultra-Safe Rechargeable Battery'.

    The files SAF-T Disposable Parachute 260810 (Parachute Cloak + SAF-T Casing): Slow Fall 10 sec, 3 charges, 30-min cd. Ultrasafe Rechargeable Battery 260822: 'Restores 3 charges to a SAF-T or EZ-Thro brand device in your possession that does not involve explosions.'

    Sodapoppin, Sep 17 at 0:34

  • Matches the files Engineering Tinkers (item enchantments, Wrath-style) exist, including one with a Mage Blink-like ability and Rocket Boots giving 160% movement speed for 8 seconds.

    The files Tinker schematics 238786-238788 'Augment your belt': Tinker: Teleport ('Teleport forward 20 yds', Blink-like), Tinker: Nitro Boosts ('increase your movement speed by up to 160%, for up to 8 sec'), Tinker: Magnetic Displacement. SAF-T item versions 260828/260830 have 3 charges each.

    Sodapoppin, Sep 17 at 4:10

  • Matches the files Engineering schematics at the Three Corners vendors include 10-second Invisibility, an Army Knife, a Glider, a 1-minute stealth device, a fall-speed device, goggles for seeing far away, a corpse-loot device, a Gizmo Girdle, throwables and a stamina item.

    The files All schematics exist: Emergency Field Cloak 260806 (10-sec invisibility), Gnomish Army Knife 260811, Ultralight Goblin Glider 260825 (glide 10 sec, 3-min cd), Stealthman 52 260827 (1-min stealth field), SAF-T Disposable Parachute 260810 (slow fall), Floppy/Bent/Stuckbutton/Dented Goggles (Longsight), Loot-A-Rang 260812 ('Retrieves the loot from a nearby corpse'), Gizmo Girdle 280307, EZ-Thro grenades. The 'stamina item' wasn't identified, and the vendor location isn't in data.

    Xaryu, Sep 22 at 14:01

  • Matches the files Engineering datamine: new goggles for each armor type (cloth, leather, mail, plate) that work as a built-in spyglass (zoom).

    The files Floppy (cloth), Bent (leather), Stuckbutton (mail) and Dented (plate) Goggles 280310-280313: req 40, Engineering yellow 205, use Longsight 12883 'look far into the distance'.

    Sodapoppin, Sep 17 at 0:09

  • Matches the files The rechargeable battery for Engineering devices costs 2 Sulfuric Acid, Pitchblende, dye, 3 Thorium Bars, a Mithril Bar and a Death Lotus, and restores 3 charges.

    The files Ultrasafe Rechargeable Battery 1266935: 1 Mithril Bar, 3 Thorium Bar, 1 Death Lotus, 2 Sulfuric Acid, 1 Pitchblende, 1 Viridian Dye. Item 260822 restores 3 charges.

    Sodapoppin, Sep 17 at 10:58

  • Partly Engineering: an invisibility trinket with one charge and a 1-hour cooldown that must be recharged. Soda calls it heavily buffed and expects it to combo with the blink tinker as an escape.

    The files Emergency Field Cloak 260806 (Gnomish Cloaking Device + SAF-T Casing): trinket slot, Cloaking 4079 '10 sec invisibility', 1-hour cooldown, but 3 charges, not 1. SAF-T devices recharge with the Ultrasafe Rechargeable Battery 260822 (+3 charges).

    Sodapoppin, Sep 17 at 1:36

  • Partly Engineering schematics also include a Weather Machine (Essences of Earth, Fire, Air and Water), an Interdimensional Companion Repository (function unknown), a stealth device (stealth field up to 1 minute, not usable in combat, lasts 6 s after you move) and goblin gliders.

    The files Gnomish Weather Machine 260826 (its item name contains 'NYI') needs 2 each of Essence of Earth/Fire/Water/Air + 2 Death Lotus. Stealthman 52 1271266 matches exactly: 'stealth field for up to 1 min. Cannot be used in combat. The field lasts for up to 6 sec after moving.' Ultralight Goblin Glider 260825 also matches. No 'Interdimensional Companion Repository' exists; the closest is Compact Critter Carrier 260807 (lets Hunters access stabled pets for 3 min).

    Sodapoppin, Sep 17 at 8:59

  • Partly Engineering: a level 60 Gnomish Poultryizer trinket turns the target into a chicken until cancelled but can backfire. Gnomes have a racial that makes engineering items 20% less likely to backfire.

    The files Gnomish Poultryizer 260824 (trinket, req 60, recipe yellow 320): chicken for 15 sec, not 'until cancelled'. Backfire matches ('assuming the transmogrification polarity has not been reversed'), and so does the Gnome racial Engineering Specialization: '20% reduced chance for engineering devices to fail or backfire'.

In Blizzard's notes

  • Matches the files

    One notable exception is Engineering bombs. Most cannot be used still, but some specific new recipes can be used while shapeshifted. See the SAF-T and EZ-Thro recipes.

    The files Classic bombs keep the 'not while shapeshifted' flag in 70245 (Iron Grenade, Flash Bomb, M73 Frag Grenade, Dense Dynamite). The new SAF-T and EZ-Thro bombs, such as SAF-T Dynamite (1269155) and EZ-Thro Grenade (1269270), don't have it.

  • Matches the files

    Engineering Specialization (Passive): More reliable engineering devices.

    The files Engineering Specialization (20593) cuts the failure and backfire rate of engineering devices by 20%, per its tooltip. In Classic it was +15 Engineering skill.
