Mists of Pandaria Engineering Leveling Guide (1-600)

This guide provides the fastest and most efficient way to level Engineering from 1 to 600 in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. Materials are approximate due to variable skill-ups. Obtain materials by mining ores (pair with Mining) or purchasing from the Auction House. Engineering-specific items like screws and powder are crafted or bought from Engineering supply vendors. All recipes are learned from trainers unless specified. In case you're still in need of help with engineering, feel free to browse our engineering services here

Tips

• Mining: Pair with Mining to farm ores in relevant zones (e.g., Hillsbrad Foothills for Tin, Felwood for Thorium, Jade Forest for Ghost Iron). Check Auction House prices to save time.

• Spirit of Harmony: Farm Motes of Harmony from Pandaria mobs (low drop rate, ~10 minutes per 10 motes) or buy from the Auction House.

• Gold Saving: Sell crafted items like [Tinker's Kit], [Ghost Iron Dragonling], or [Elementium Toolbox] on the Auction House. Craft bolts in bulk to reduce costs.

• Engineering Vendors: Purchase Weak Flux, Strong Flux, and other components (e.g., Volatile Blasting Trigger) from Engineering supply vendors in major cities or Pandaria.

• Pandaria Farming: Level to 85–90 while mining Ghost Iron or farming Motes of Harmony in Pandaria zones like Valley of the Four Winds.

• Specializations: At 400, choose between Goblin Engineering (explosives focus) or Gnomish Engineering (gadgets focus). Both are viable for leveling; pick based on preference.
