Illustrious 1-525 Engineering Speed Leveling Guide Cataclysm

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Welcome to the updated 1-525 Engineering Profession Speed Leveling Guide for WoW Cataclysm, updated for patch 4.0.3.

This is the Cataclysm Engineering power leveling guide from level 1-525 (Illustrious Grand Master). This guide is updated for 4.0.3 and features new recipes and mats for WoW Cataclysm. We are updating these guides daily so be sure to let us know if you see any mistakes or better recipes to use. As of now this is the best way to get to 525.

To level Engineering takes thousands of gold, I used WoW Schools Cataclysm Gold Guide in order to have enough gold, especially for Illustrious Grand Master.

Why we picked the recipes we did:

The recipes in this guide can all be bought from trainers. I stayed away from using recipes that were found from drops as this is a speed leveling guide. I also tried to pick the cheapest recipes to level with, however, at the highest levels it starts costing a ton of Gold to level Engineering.

Unlike other profs, a lot of recipes in Engineering start in the Yellow. This means that you have a one out of two chance of leveling when you create that recipe. That is why on the quantity needed it will say 10-20 or 20-40 needed.

How To Level Engineering

  1. Go to an Engineering trainer and learn engineering. Here is a List of Engineering Trainers.
  2. Learn all the Recipes that you can or that you need to learn from this guide for your level of engineering.
  3. Go to the AH or MINE for your materials that are listed in the guide. To speed level you need to buy from the Auction House.
  4. Once you get to the next level go to the next Engineering Trainer to Learn your Next Level!

Useful Cataclysm Engineering Info

Engineering is a fun profession which allows players to craft assorted gizmos and contraptions using a variety of parts and explosives! Engineers use reagents which are mostly crafted from minerals, in both ore and bar form, gathered or smelted by Mining.

Engineers can craft many devices which include not only equipable items such as trinkets, guns and goggles but also a variety of unique inventions and even explosives! Most engineer-created items can only be used with a required skill level, such as Jeeves, the robotic butler, or combat pets such as Arcanite Dragonling (which even fight for you)!

Engineers can also build two unique types of mounts – a rickety but awesome flying machine (Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control) and a kickin’ motorcycle (Mekgineer’s Chopper or Mechano-Hog) which allows a passenger and has both horde and alliance versions!

Profession-specific Perk

Engineers can craft devices which can be affixed to various equipment slots to provide a variety of interesting effects. Since many Engineering-created items require certain skill levels to be able to use, almost anything could be considered a perk!
