WoW Engineering Guide 1-525
This Engineering Guide (updated for patch 4.3) was created to help you level through 1-525 in the quickest way possible. Engineering can be a bit pricey so if you find yourself low on gold check out thisGold Guide for tips on how to make lots of gold. This guide was tested before it was posted but if you find any problems or have any suggestions leave a comment!
Engineering Introduction
To start you’ll have to go to a major city and seek out an engineering trainer (just ask a guard for directions). Once you find the trainer train "Apprentice Engineering” and you are ready to begin!
The supplies for engineering are found in a variety of places, some of the supplies are from mining and smelting, while others are found at vendors and off of mobs. Some of the items required by some engineering formulas are actually created through other engineering formulas so pay attention to the chart and where it says "Keep” or "Sell” because you will need many items to make others as you level up.
In order to make some items in this guide you will have to create an "Arclight Spanner” and a "Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor” these items are not consumed in the recipes you need them for, so hold onto at least one of each of them!
I’ve listed the "Components Required” in the guide and to clear up any confusion this is the components listed to make one item.
