WOW FOREVER · ENGINEERING 1-300 · BETA DATA 2026-09-23

Engineering 1-300. The one crafting profession Forever left alone.

Engineering is the only crafting profession where the beta data shows no colour changes at all, so this route looks like a Classic one. It lives on stone: blasting powder at every tier, bombs and parts in between, and a Mithril slug and Gyro-Shot grind from 210 to 275.

THE ROUTE

Craft this, this many times.

Craft counts are the expected number for that range at Forever's skill-up colours, rounded up. The small numbers are the skill where the recipe turns yellow, green and grey; below the yellow number every craft is a guaranteed point. If a step finishes early, move on.

WHAT FOREVER CHANGED

Why a Classic guide gets this wrong.

Skill-up colours are unchanged from Classic on every Engineering recipe. Beta data
Rough Dynamite needs one Rough Blasting Powder instead of two. EZ-Thro Dynamite takes new vendor parts (EZ-Thro Wrap and Fireproof Fuse). Firework launchers take a different mix of parts. Beta data
Goblin and Gnomish specializations return with new toys, plus over 80 new recipes, many of them rockets and gadgets. Reported
Engineering has no trained passive in Forever. The gadgets are the bonus. Reported

TIPS

Before you spend a copper.

Mining is close to mandatory: this route needs 400 Solid Stone and 84 Rough Stone on top of the bars.
Craft all 158 Solid Blasting Powder you need at 175 while it still gives skill, then bank them for the slugs and Gyro-Shots.
Thorium Tube is a vendor schematic. Pick it up before you reach 275.

Training ranks

Journeyman unlocks at skill 50, Expert at 125 and Artisan at 200, each raising the cap by 75. Beta data
Character level gates of 5, 10, 20 and 35 for the four ranks carry over from Classic. Beta players report Cooking reaching 150 before level 10, and a forum moderator called that a bug. Reported
Hitting 150, 225 and 300 in a profession each award a Legacy point the first time you do it on the account. Blizzard

How this was built

Every skill-up colour, reagent and recipe on these pages comes from Wowhead’s Forever database, which is mined from the beta client. Nothing is copied from a Classic guide.
A skill point is certain while a recipe is orange. From yellow to grey the chance falls in a straight line: (grey − skill) ÷ (grey − yellow). The craft counts are the expected number of crafts under that rule, rounded up, so real runs land a few either side.
The route is the cheapest expected path through all 300 points, costed with rough early-Classic auction and vendor prices, with a small cost for every recipe change so you are not buying a new pattern every three points. Recipes a trainer teaches win ties. Vendor patterns and quest rewards are allowed. Recipes that are new in Forever are only picked when they are clearly cheaper, and they are flagged, because Blizzard has not said how you learn them.
The shopping list expands anything you craft along the way (bolts, cured hides, grinding stones, blasting powder) into the raw goods, and counts crafted leftovers against later steps. Those intermediate crafts can give a few free points of their own, so you usually finish slightly early.
Beta is capped at level 20 and content above that is not playable yet. Colours for recipes above skill 225 are the most likely to move before launch on November 4.
