WoW Engineering Guide 1 - 525
This WoW Engineering guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how level your Engineering skill up from 1 to 525. Updated for Astral-WoW by Dagdha.
Engineering is the best combined with Mining. If you level your Engineering with Mining, you will save a lot of gold. If you don't have Mining, you will have to buy everything and you will need a lot of gold. Check out my WoW Mining Guide if you want to level your Mining too. However, the fastest way to level Engineering is to buy everything from the Auction House.
If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to Level 85 in less then 8 days with this Guide.

Engineering has the option at skill level 200 to specialize in Gnomish or Goblin Engineering. You can get the quests from your Engineering trainer. The main difference between both sides is the location of their respective teleporters and the ability of their trinkets. Some items require a specific specialization to use, while other items are crafted by one specialization but are usable by any engineer. Fortunately, most recipes that are crafted by one Specialization can be worn by both.
